Buckingham

Private Homes, Duplexes, and Garden Villas

Enjoy the privacy of your own home in an independent, maintenance-free retirement community in West Knoxville designed to accommodate the needs – and the desires – of adults age 55 and older. The expectations of retirement are fulfilled in an environment of security and safety. Retirees can enjoy a lifetime of leisure or pursue the interests and activities that, for many years, took second place to professional
and social responsibilities. Above all, the new freedom of the retirement years finds greater expression in single family homes, private duplex residences, and garden villas that are spacious and comfortable, a continuation of quality living specifically adapted to your lifestyle.

Excellent Dining Facilities Available to Buckingham Residents at Shannondale

For those residents desiring not to cook, a delicious, well-balanced meal is always available during meal hours at Shannondale Retirement Center. Located on campus, the Retirement Center is just a short drive away (or an easy walk), and you do not even have to leave the neighborhood streets to get there. You may take an occasional meal at Shannondale, or all of your meals there if you wish!

Two Choices of Residency are Available

Because Buckingham is the result of a concept dedicated to the continuation of the private and personal lifestyles of individuals, two choices of residency are available: lifetime use of residence with assured maintenance and security; or lifetime care backed by the full services of Shannondale Retirement Center, Shannondale Assisted Living Center, and Shannondale Health Care Center. Buckingham residences are designed for a gracious, quality lifestyle with spacious, well-appointed rooms and ample storage areas, In addition, single-family homes and duplexes have a two-car garage with an electric door opener. Modern kitchen appliances and central heat and air are standards of every Buckingham home, with the addition of such amenities as gas log fireplaces, an oversized master bath, windows with insulated glass, and fully-equipped laundry rooms.
