Gogo's take on Fieldview
“Go. Fieldview is an exceptionally quiet, safe, and stable suburban residential enclave in West Knoxville. Violent crime is rare, making it very secure for families and visitors seeking peaceful surroundings.”
About the area
Fieldview is a secluded, primarily residential neighborhood nestled in the rolling hills of West Knoxville. It is defined by leafy cul-de-sacs, well-maintained single-family properties, and strong neighborhood stability. While purely residential and lacking an entertainment district of its own, it offers immediate proximity to West Knoxville's major retail and dining hubs.

Walking and biking in Fieldview
Walk score: 18/100 · Bike score: 24/100
The neighborhood lacks dedicated bike lanes and bike-share stations. While interior subdivision streets are calm, connecting arterials lack protective cycling infrastructure, though greenway access points like the Northwest Greenway are a short drive away.
