Sevierville, TN

31 Apartments for Rent

Sevierville has made literary history: Cormac McCarthy set much of his 1973 novel Child of God in the town and surrounding area.

Located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, Sevierville uses its picturesque locale to the town's best interest. Tourists flock to the area every year to hunt, fish in the Little Pigeon River or tackle the whitewater rapids of the French Broad River just north of town. Another feature that brings people to town every year is the Dollywood amusement park founded by native daughter Dolly Parton. For the roughly 15,000 who call this town home, however, there is plenty to do that keeps them occupied even when it's not "tourist season."

Moving to Sevierville

The first thing you'll need to do is learn how to pronounce your new hometown: Severe-Ville. The town and county are named after Col. John Sevier, a Revolutionary War hero who was paramount in routing the British away from the area. While there is a downtown commercial area, you won't find a lot of city apartments in Sevierville. You're more likely to find rental houses instead. Even if you do move into an apartment complex, you'll find that this town takes its outdoors and open spaces seriously. You won't need to allocate much time -- a few weeks should suffice -- to find an apartment. Make sure you bring all required documents such as credit history, proof of employment and your IDs.

Getting around and through town is easy, as there are several major state and federal highways through the town, including The Parkway, as Route 441 is known.
