Highland Terrace Communities is located in Knoxville, TN in the 37916 zip code.
The staff is super nice and very accommodating. Have a couple of issues with some appliances, doors, paint, etc. but that seems to just be due to the buildings being kind of older and numerous, numerous coats of paint messing up the alignment of doors and drawers. Otherwise, I''m pretty happy so far.

I would say my apartment is 'a home away from home!' My time at UT was incredibly enjoyable because of where I lived. The community, neighborhood, amenities, and location made it an ideal place for students to live.

It was a decent experience. I wish the office was more prompt in communicating with residents. The Laundry needs overhaul. The machines stop working , does not take cards and its been more than a month and they have not fixed it.
