The Park at Fountain City is located at 2202 Adair Drive in Knoxville, TN 37918, and offers a three-bedroom floor plan for renters looking near Zoo Knoxville. Our current three-bedroom option is the C1, a 3-bedroom, 1-bath apartment with 1,006 square feet, with pricing and availability best confirmed directly with the leasing office. Zoo Knoxville is at 3500 Knoxville Zoo Drive in East Knoxville, so this is a car-friendly North Knoxville choice rather than a walkable zoo-adjacent address.
Zoo Knoxville is one of the city’s major family and visitor destinations, with animal habitats, educational programming, and seasonal events that draw local households, school groups, and guests from around East Tennessee. Living within a practical drive can matter if you have zoo memberships, visit with children often, work or volunteer in the area, or simply want East Knoxville attractions to be reachable without living directly beside the busiest event corridors.
From Fountain City, most residents get around by using nearby North Knoxville routes such as Broadway (US-441), I-640, I-40, Magnolia Avenue, Rutledge Pike, and Highway 25 connections depending on the destination and traffic. Zoo Knoxville sits near Chilhowee Park & Exposition Center, which means drive times can vary during large events, school breaks, and weekend zoo traffic. If your schedule depends on a regular zoo-area commute, it is worth testing the drive at the time of day you would actually travel.
The Park at Fountain City offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes, giving households room to choose based on space needs rather than only bedroom count. The current floor plan range runs from the A1 one-bedroom at 691 square feet, to the B1 two-bedroom at 855 square feet, to the C1 three-bedroom at 1,006 square feet. Because availability changes, the most accurate next step is to ask which homes are open now, which are coming soon, and whether the C1 layout fits your move date.
Inside the apartment homes, residents can expect practical finishes such as in-home washers, wood-style floors, espresso cabinetry with white appliances, modern lighting, and framed bathroom mirrors. Built-in bookshelves are listed as available in select homes, so ask the office to confirm whether the specific three-bedroom you tour includes them. For a three-bedroom household, the in-home washer and easy-care flooring are often the features that make the biggest day-to-day difference.
The community amenities are also useful for residents who spend time at home between outings. The Park at Fountain City has a 24/7 fitness center with strength training equipment, grill stations, a dog park, playground, landscaped courtyards, walking paths, biking trails, a pavilion with outdoor lounge, a business center with Wi-Fi, clothes care center, and on-site maintenance. If you have pets, the dog park is a helpful on-site feature, and the community’s pet policy should be reviewed with the office before applying.
The main trade-off is distance from the zoo itself. If your priority is being able to walk to Zoo Knoxville, Chilhowee Park, or Magnolia Avenue destinations, this location will not be the best match. The Park at Fountain City is better suited to renters who want a North Knoxville home base with access to downtown, Fountain City, and East Knoxville by car.
