Nestled in the heart of South Knoxville, the South Woodlawn Neighborhood (SWNA) is accessible from both Chapman Highway and James White Parkway. We are home to Sam Duff Park, South-Doyle Middle School, Woodlawn Christian Church, South Knoxville Worship Center, Young High Church of Christ, Woodlawn Cemetery, South Knoxville Library, and businesses along Chapman Highway. We also border Baker Creek Preserve, part of Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness.

The neighborhood of South Woodlawn is defined approximately by East Moody Avenue and Chapman Highway, with the Urban Wilderness next door. It’s one of Knoxville’s most active and involved areas and very influential in South Knoxville.

South Woodlawn is environmentally conscious and nature-loving. It is proud to have become the first community in Tennessee to achieve certification as a Community Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation and is working with other neighborhoods to help achieve this prestigious designation. South Woodlawn has benefited tremendously from interest in the Urban Wilderness, which has maintained residential real estate transactions and brought new homeowners to the area. They claim to be a community of adventure.
