Cumberland Estates is a residential neighborhood in the City of Knoxville, Tennessee, United States, which gained national attention for architectural innovation and research housing in the mid-20th century. It began 2.1 miles outside the city limits, in Knox County, as one of many planned suburban neighborhoods in the post-World War II economic expansion. The development soon attracted an innovative young architect and national sponsors who would create new ways to rapidly and affordably fill the demand for residential housing needs for America’s growing population of families. Their prominent work in the neighborhood influenced the evolution of residential building design. While the attention received from the research homes waned last century, the neighborhood has maintained its residential character with few changes while avoiding commercial encroachment and blight. ==Location== It is located seven miles Northwest of downtown Knoxville and lies in the Eastern portion of Tennessee in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The neighborhood is bordered to the East by Victor Ashe Park and West Haven; to the North by Norwood; to the West by Karns; and to the South by West Hills. Third Creek runs through the neighborhood before emptying into the Tennessee River at the University of Tennessee. The City of Oak Ridge is 14 miles to the west on State Route 62, known locally as Oak Ridge Highway, where many of the neighborhood's first residents worked in the national facilities succeeding the Manhattan Project.〔Miller, Mike (8-18-1961).
