About Harriman

Founded in the late 1800s by supporters of the temperance movement, advocating abstinence from alcohol, Harriman was once the site of American Temperance University. Although the area freely sells and drinks liquor today, there are still a few traditional residents of a Harriman house or apartment for rent that refuse to take part in such activities. Featuring a population of 7,000, Harriman is about 42 miles west of Knoxville, with most residents commuting into the city for work. The drive takes only 50 minutes which allows residents to maximize their time at home with their families. Local attractions are especially important to residents of an apartment or home rental in Harriman with landmarks like the Harriman Heritage Museum, Cornstalk Heights Historic District, Roane State Expo Center, Midtown Drive-In Theatre, Tamke-Allan Observatory, and O’Brien Theater within walking distance from most homes. Frozen Head State Park, north of Harriman, is the preferred day trip or weekend getaway for its isolation and beautiful collection of untapped trails and campgrounds. Roane County Park adds a great deal of recreational facilities to the area’s program, as does Emory Golf and Country Club. The Roane County School System is supplemented by the Roane State Community College, also located in Harriman.
