I’ve lived here for about half a year, and my roommates and I like it! The rent isn’t bad compared to other places around, the only thing we don’t like is that laundry is outside and you have to pay for it.

Maintenance Request Always Satisfied
In my time living here at Highland Terrace I have submitted several maintenance requests for various things. Whether it’s for a new AC filter, weather stripping on my door, leaky faucet, etc they have always come to fix it quickly and at no extra cost. Very happy with maintenance.

I love the location because it is close to campus; only a 10 minute walk. Maintenance are really nice. I wish there was laundry in the apartment.

The community is clean, quiet, and well-maintained, creating a comfortable living environment. Overall, Highland Terrace is a great place to live, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a... well-managed and pleasant apartment community.

I highly recommend this place! The rent is very affordable compared to other areas in Knoxville. The staff at the management office are super friendly and make you feel right at home. Plus, being so close to school is a huge lifesaver—no more worrying about long commutes or finding parking on campus!
