Roane County generally is experiencing significant growth and much of it is in the semi-retired baby boomer market. This population is responding to the boom of higher-end residential development being developed in Roane County. Many of these developments front the scenic Watts Bar Lake. Some of those include:
- Rarity Ridge is a sprawling 1,400-acre development with 2,800 residential units, priced from $130,000 to $500,000 plus.
- A $500 million premiere golf course/luxury residential development with some 1,700 new residential has begun on the Roane/Loudon County line.
- Ladd Landing is an 800-acre waterfront development for 600 corporate and community condominiums (starting at $175,000) along with 400 residential units (starting at $300,000).
- Grande Vista Bay is a multi-million-dollar gated community with 500-plus, high-end residential units along 10 miles of lakefront, accessed off Exit 350 from Pine Ridge Road to U.S. 70.
