Kingston Pike Sequoyah Hills Association
KPSHA
There are 1850 distinct addresses in the Kingston Pike Sequoyah Hills Neighborhood. There are homeowners and renters, families and students, and retirees and entrepreneurs living in our neighborhood. There is a top-notch elementary school and a Knox County library branch. We welcome new residents and we applaud third (or more) generation residents to this neighborhood that we call home. KPSHA strives to create a better community and to preserve our unique neighborhood character.
First created in 1925, Cherokee Blvd., the backbone of Sequoyah Hills, still stands as one of Knoxville’s premier residential streets. Over 100 years of history paint the neighborhood with unique buildings and interesting family lore. Learn more about the KPSHA Mission Statement and join our association to help us meet our goals.

KPSHA Membership Levels
Good Neighbor
$50/year
Your Good Neighbor membership supports KPSHA’s overall efforts to serve the neighborhood, such as maintaining the website and printing and mailing the quarterly newsletter. We provide supplies for the annual meeting, the Boulevard Christmas decorations and tree lighting, the Knoxville Marathon cheering sections, and other neighborhood events. We also maintain the pet waste stations. If the association ever needs professional advice on an issue related to maintaining the character of the neighborhood, our dues help cover those costs.
Beautification Society
$150/year
By adding $100 to your membership, you enable KPSHA to maintain the shrubbery and flower beds at intersections throughout the neighborhood and on Cherokee Boulevard. The beauty of these areas, like the display of tulips around the Sunhouse Fountain each spring, enhances the appeal of our neighborhood to residents and to visitors such as the people who tour our Dogwood Trail in April.
Preservation Alliance
$250/year
An additional donation helps KPSHA with all the activities described above. It also ensures that we have on hand the resources needed to maintain and improve specific public areas of the neighborhood, especially renovations of Papoose Park, Sunhouse Fountain, and most recently Panther Fountain. This extra donation also allows us to quickly respond to zoning, demolition, and other issues/permits in the neighborhood by seeking expert legal advice so that we understand and can respond to issues affecting our neighborhood.
Corporate Member
$500/year
Businesses located in or serving the Kingston Pike/Sequoyah Hills area are invited to become corporate members of KP-SHA. Corporate members will receive a link from our website to their business website for the remainder of the calendar year in which they joined.
