Karns, Tennessee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karns is a community in west Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. In the last 10 years Karns has had a big boom in its population. In the 1980's Karns was a farming community but in the last 25 years it has become a major residential area in Knox County nearly tripling in size. The Demographic of the community ranges from middle class housing to upper bracket homes. With the explosion of growth in the area there has still not been much commercial growth in what some would call downtown Karns. The building of the Turkey Creek Shopping Center at the border of Karns and Farragut has given the area a shopping personality. Many lots have also gone up for commercial sale in the center of the town and Karns is expected to grow and double in the next 5 to 10 years as well.
