Knoxville has seen a large increase in violent crime in recent years. I believe at one point last year, it was the most violent city in the country (per capita).
I know there are nice parts of Knoxville, I’m just not familiar with them.
My recommendation would be to look for land outside the city. Maybe Blount County or Sevier County, or look at smaller cities outside of Knoxville (Alcoa, Maryville, etc). There are a LOT of people moving to East Tennessee right now from all over the country. Pretty difficult to find a house.
If you do end up in Knoxville, be extraordinarily picky about what school district you’re in. A large amount of shootings are connected to gang activity in high schools.
