About Newport

Forty-eight miles east of Knoxville, Tennessee, Newport is a 51-minute drive from the nearest large city. However, this distance allows residents of a Newport house or apartment for rent to enjoy quiet neighborhoods and the feeling of a small-town community while being close to the resources of a big metropolitan. Home to just over 7,000 residents, Newport is situated on the Pigeon River at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Historically, Newport is placed on the Great Indian Warpath and is the home of the battle at War Ford between the Cherokee Indians and American settlers during the American Revolution. Because of Newport’s residential focus, most residents are forced to commute to Knoxville for work.

Douglas Lake surrounds Newport on the eastern and northern boundaries. The oddly shaped body of water provides an oasis during the summer but is beautiful year-round. Smoky Mountain Country Club is the most popular golf course in the region and offers some of the best views overlooking Newport and the surrounding area. Great Smoky Mountains National Park, south of the town, is a popular day trip for residents of an apartment or home rental in Newport. City Park is Newport’s largest recreational facility at 30 acres in area. The complex contains baseball fields, football fields, soccer fields, playgrounds, gyms, bike paths, and a community center for the organization of tournaments, leagues, and other neighborhood activities.
