If I were chosing a place to live and would be workin in the area of the (old) camping world site I would continue east an Ashville Highway (US-11) in this area it parallels I-40 on the Noth Side. Maybe even the New Market area... or furthur east to Dandrich
The reason (s)
1) going to work in the mornings the sun is on your back not in your eyes
2) going home in the evenings... the sun is not in your eyes
3) east has nice areas, close enough to the Smokies to see them and be there in 10 minutes... but avoiding all of the tourists between home and work
4) affordable along the US-11 corridor (Look in the Reynolds road area... I know people there.)
5) safer in this direction than any other
6) the highway and roads are in realitively good shape.
