Downtown Homes Tour
More than 650 people participated in the 2009 Downtown Homes Tour, experiencing 15 furnished residences throughout Downtown Knoxville. Units were housed in everything from carefully restored historical buildings to loft warehouse space to beautiful new construction. Many of downtown's current residents were introduced to urban living through one of the City People biennial Downtown Homes Tours, helping Knoxville's center city grow to almost 2,000 residents over the last few years!
City People hosts a Downtown Homes Tour every two years, with the next tour scheduled for Fall of 2011.
City People is grateful to the owners and residents of these beautiful downtown spaces who opened their homes to us for this special occasion. Proceeds from ticket sales will be used by City People to provide small grants to organizations that benefit Knoxville's center city. We are also very grateful to the many sponsors who made the 2009 Homes Tour such a success. Please patronize these business partners and sponsors to help us express our thanks! Sponsors will be listed in rotating ads on our home page throughout the month of October.
