About Our Area

Climate:
The quality of climate is perhaps one of Crossville's strongest attributes. Crossville's elevation (2,000 feet) and southern mountain location are the principle reasons for its' pleasant four season climate...enjoying long springs and falls, mild winters, and summers that are quite warm during the day but cool at night, typical of the mountainous South.

Autumn is especially colorful in Tennessee. The fall colors are celebrated in grand style...and they well should be as more than 300 species of hardwoods grow here, a larger variety than is found almost anywhere in the world. Gentle fall weather allows the colors to linger and you'll want to linger too.

Crossville's location is on the south western side of the Appalachian Mountain range, with Southwest prevailing winds.

Health Care:
Crossville's health care is impressive, given the size of the community. Crossville serves as the major health care center of most of the surrounding counties. The hospital, Cumberland Medical Center, offers a diversification of services such as: full accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, emergency room facilities with 24 hour physician coverage, an extensive care unit with telemetry, complete medical/surgical services, diagnostic outpatient services, 24 hour ambulance delivery, ambulatory care unit/one day surgery, nuclear medicine with ultrasound and CAT scanner, mammography suite, and Life Star helicopter for emergency air-lift to larger cities and hospitals. With hundreds of beds and a full complement of physicians (1 for every 800 people) and staff, Crossville is moving progressively forward in the health care category. Health care is surprisingly lower in cost than most other retirement areas.

Crossville also has nine private clinics, Cumberland County Health Department, Plateau Mental Health Center, numerous nursing homes and many excellent home health care providers.

Personal Safety:
According to Rand McNally's "Places Rated", Crossville placed #9 in the nation in matters of personal safety and crime. Crime has little to do with resort areas. Furthermore, the use of private security in the resorts keeps crime virtually non-existent in this area.
