Union County is the place to be! With a small town atmosphere, friendly people, an affordable cost of living and a rich cultural heritage celebrated with festivals throughout the year, come see how wonderful life can be in Union County.

Choosing to relocate/ retire can be an exciting and challenging life event. Climate, access to healthcare, quality of schools and cost of living are important factors in making the choice. Other desirable factors include location, activities, access to major transportation and overall quality of life. Union County has all of these things in abundance. Consider a mild climate, natural beauty with a deep, clean lake and two large State wildlife areas, easy access to 3 excellent medical centers, all the amenities including sporting events, theatre, shopping, universities and museums of a major metropolitan city within a short drive, access to a regional airport, great schools and a favorable tax structure of low property taxes and no personal income taxes and you have Union County. Currently one of the fastest growing counties in Tennessee, we have so much to offer for retirees and families alike. For those seeking open spaces and lake living, consider the Hickory Valley and Sharps Chapel communities; for those looking for a thriving business and, family orientated community rich in history, think of Luttrell; and if a quiet, fast growing residential community with services such as recycling, walking trails, senior condo developments within an easy drive to Knoxville is desired, then Plainview would be excellent choice.
