About Seymour

Part of the greater Knoxville area, the town of Seymour is home to almost 9,000 residents in an area filled with culture and rich heritage. First known as Newell's Station in 1785, the completion of the Knoxville, Sevierville & Eastern Railway in 1909 led to the town’s change of name to honor the railroad’s first engineer. Only 10 miles from the Knoxville city center, the area provides residents of an apartment or home rental in Seymour with a spectacular and enviable community just outside of the city, but close enough to reach the business district in about 15 minutes. This convenience means that Seymour is one of the most highly sought neighborhoods for its perfect blend of suburban and urban living.

Both The Seymour Herald and The South Knox-Seymour Times provide residents of a Seymour house or apartment for rent with a balanced view of world events through daily newspapers. Seymour residents are also provided with above average public educations furnished by the Seymour School District. The system runs on 4 sequential schools from primary to middle to intermediate and finally to high school. A few private institutions are also located in Seymour and are quite popular amongst both middle and upper class citizens. Bower Field and Town Park are the primary recreation venues in Seymour and not only provide traditional sports and walking paths but also classes in yoga, pilates, and alternative exercise via the town’s community center. Many residents take advantage of this inexpensive and exciting offer.
