Living in Alcoa

What It Is Like to Live in Alcoa

Alcoa was built as a company town around the aluminum works and has spent the last two decades becoming something else - a growing city with new retail, new housing, and a school system that draws buyers on its own merits.

The convenience is hard to beat. McGhee Tyson Airport is in Alcoa, Maryville is immediately adjacent, and Alcoa Highway runs straight into Knoxville.

Housing ranges from the original company-built homes in the older sections to substantial newer subdivision construction on the Springbrook and Pellissippi sides.
