At Hub Knoxville 18th, outdoor space will give residents another way to relax, socialize, and spend time outside without leaving home. Located on Cumberland Avenue near the University of Tennessee, Hub Knoxville 18th will feature a rooftop pool and surrounding outdoor areas designed for everything from an afternoon swim to a casual evening with friends. For students considering off-campus housing near the University of Tennessee, these spaces will add convenient options for downtime close to campus.
What Outdoor Amenities Will Hub Knoxville 18th Offer?
The rooftop will combine swimming, lounging, gathering, and outdoor dining areas in one shared setting.
Planned features will include:
- Rooftop swimming pool
- Expansive sundeck
- Hot tub
- Poolside lounge seating
- Built-in seating
- Outdoor lounge areas
- BBQ and grilling area
- Shaded seating with umbrellas
- Landscaped rooftop spaces
- Views across Knoxville
The pool deck will provide several ways to use the rooftop rather than centering the entire space on swimming. Lounge chairs will line the pool, while umbrellas and covered seating areas will offer options when residents want a break from direct sun. Landscaped sections and additional gathering spaces will help create distinct areas for both smaller groups and larger social settings.
Outdoor Student Spaces in Knoxville
Outdoor amenities can be especially useful when students need a change of scenery between classes, studying, and other commitments. Residents will be able to head upstairs for a quick swim, spend an afternoon reading poolside, or meet friends outside after returning from campus.
Hub Knoxville 18th’s location will make that flexibility even more practical for University of Tennessee students. The community will be just a short walk from campus, 3 minutes from the University of Tennessee and 12 minutes from Neyland Stadium.
On warmer days, residents may use the pool for swimming or cooling off between activities. During quieter periods, the surrounding seating areas will provide space to read, talk with roommates, or simply spend time outdoors. In the evening, the rooftop can transition into a gathering space where residents can sit outside and take in views of Knoxville.
Room For Volunteers to Gather Outdoors
The rooftop will also support the social side of student life. Built-in seating, lounge areas, and shared tables will provide places for roommates and friends to gather without needing to host everyone inside an apartment.
A shared BBQ area will add another option for casual meals and group plans. Residents will be able to grill outdoors and use nearby seating for an easy dinner with roommates or friends. On weekends, those spaces can also provide a convenient place to meet before campus events or spend time together without leaving the community.
The outdoor areas will include a variety of seating types, from poolside loungers and shaded seating to tables suited for small groups. That variety will give residents more flexibility to choose a space based on what they are doing rather than relying on a single large gathering area.
Rooftop Views and Open-Air Space
One of the defining features of the rooftop will be its elevated setting. Hub Knoxville 18th features views of Knoxville as part of its rooftop amenity offering, giving residents a place to experience the city from above while remaining at home.
The combination of water, landscaping, seating, and open-air space will make the rooftop useful beyond peak pool season or dedicated swimming time. Residents will be able to step outside for fresh air, meet a friend at a table, or spend a quieter moment away from their apartment.
For students comparing apartments near the University of Tennessee, having multiple types of outdoor space within the community can add practical value to everyday life, especially when campus schedules leave limited time to travel elsewhere to relax.
