I've been to Kingsport one time. It looked pretty nice, plus there's a lot of beautiful scenery surrounding the area. It reminded me a lot of the Appalachian towns in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia that I've been to and lived in. Growing up we had family who moved from PA to Bristol (they lived on the TN side), but we never made the trip down to that area to visit them.

Real estate agents always telling everyone how great it is there until it gets too crowded and then they move somewhere else and start all over. Home prices in east Tennessee have increased like crazy in the last 5 years because of people from other areas use to higher home prices moving in. Our home has doubled in value in the last 10 years and it wasn't a cheap house to begin with. BTW Kingsport is a better place than any other east of Knoxville, great place to move to.

That big place on the right at the end of Pierce, where it meets Avalon backs up to the flood zone of Reedy Creek (as do most of the homes on Pierce.) That probably kept some of the development down. Not sure what else happened, but that 4 acre parcel never was subdivided. House was built in 1940 and the surrounding homes were built in the 1930's it looks like. Never noticed it before!
