Alcoa is very friendly. The people are all welcoming and kind. The area is also very lush and green, with the exception of some litter. It is also safe at night, though certain places could use more light.

I really like the apartment complex I live at in Louisville, TN. The complex has affordable washer and dryer services at the laundry facilities on site. Also, I like the on site swimming pool in the summer. Rent is affordable and it is local to shopping places.
I have lived in Alcoa, TN for my whole life and I love it. The people here mostly are friendly and there is always places to go, there is malls, restaurants, and movie theatres. Alcoa is not too big, but not to small. When I go on vacation I always get homesick and cant wait to get back to my home in Alcoa.
