Rockwood Real Estate

Rockwood is a quaint town in Tennessee with a bustling downtown area. This town sits between the edge of Cumberland Plateau and Watts Bar Lake in the westernmost part of Roane county. Rockwood’s early days started as a joint endeavor between a former Union General and a former Confederate Captain. This land was originally owned by the Indians in 1794.

Rockwood’s early boom came to an end with the Great Depression, which resulted in the closing of the Roane Iron Company. Afterwards the area had economic difficulties through the 1930s until the New Deal programs called for able-bodied individuals again! Today residents of Rockwood enjoy a variety of modern features and conveniences. The Downtown area hosts annual festivals every year, which bring this charming community together!

Downtown Rockwood is a great place to spend the day with friends and family. You will find plenty of novelty destinations here including an old fashioned drug store, antique and specialty shops, and restaurants offering plenty of classic southern dishes. As well as beauty and barber shops, Downtown Rockwood also boasts a variety of recreational opportunities!

You will find plenty of ball fields, a community center with a gymnasium, outdoor swimming opportunities, city parks, a 9 hole golf course, and 52 sprawling acres that border Watts Bar Lake. Many enjoy the convenience of a public boat ramp, floating piers and docks, and picnic tables to enjoy at Watts Bar Lake! There are so many fun things to do in this amazing area.
