Area Overview
Jamestown is the county seat of Fentress County and was established in 1823. The community sits in Tennessee’s Upper Cumberland region and provides access to U.S. Highway 127 as well as a municipal airport. Local attractions include York Gristmill, the 127 Corridor Sale, and the area’s outdoor recreation resources.
The 2020 U.S. Census recorded 1,935 residents within the City of Jamestown. The city describes itself as a gateway to the surrounding Big South Fork country and maintains information covering local shopping, dining, recreation, transportation, and community services.
Safety & Crime
Crime statistics are available at the county and law-enforcement-agency level rather than as a property-specific measurement. For 2024, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s statewide crime report lists 549 offenses reported by the Fentress County Sheriff’s Office, with 305 offenses cleared. The report includes offense and arrest information for the reporting agency.
These figures describe reported activity for the reporting law-enforcement jurisdiction and should not be interpreted as a crime rate for 179 Government Pond Rd or as a neighborhood safety rating.
Schools & Education
Fentress County Schools operates schools serving the Jamestown area, including Allardt Elementary, Pine Haven Elementary, South Fentress Elementary, York Elementary, and Clarkrange High School. Fentress County also lists the Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute and Faith Christian Academy among local educational resources.
The Alvin C. York Institute is a public school located at 701 North Main Street in Jamestown. School proximity does not by itself establish enrollment assignment, so prospective buyers should confirm current attendance boundaries directly with Fentress County Schools.
Healthcare & Hospitals
Healthcare resources in and around Jamestown include Jamestown Regional Medical Center, the Fentress County Health Department, and additional regional hospitals including Cookeville Regional Medical Center and Livingston Regional Hospital. These facilities provide healthcare options for residents of the wider Fentress County area.
Housing Market History
Historical housing data for ZIP Code 38556 provides a useful local market reference. The figures below use the same metric throughout: median value of owner-occupied housing units from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates.
| Year | Median Home Value | Change From Prior Year |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | $104,600 | — |
| 2021 | $102,400 | -2.1% |
| 2022 | $128,400 | +25.4% |
| 2023 | $147,300 | +14.7% |
| 2024 | $160,700 | +9.1% |
Across the 2020–2024 period, the ZIP-level median home value increased from $104,600 to $160,700, an overall increase of approximately 53.6%. These historical figures describe the broader ZIP-code housing market and are not a forecast of future property values or an estimate of the value of this individual property.
More current market context from Zillow reported an average Jamestown home value of $235,183 as of July 31, 2026, with a 2.8% one-year change. Realtor.com reported an August 2026 Jamestown median listing price of $384,900 and a median sold price of $365,000. These current measures use different methodologies and are therefore presented separately from the Census historical series.

Development & Planning
The City of Jamestown maintains an active municipal projects program. Current project information includes proposed rehabilitation of the city’s wastewater treatment plant influent pump station and equalization basin, as well as a proposed replacement project for the Central Avenue Sewer Interceptor. The city identifies the pump-station project as having completed preliminary engineering and being submitted for state funding consideration.
These are municipal infrastructure projects rather than property-specific improvements, and no claim is made that either project directly affects 179 Government Pond Rd. Project status and scope should be confirmed with the City of Jamestown before relying on them for future planning decisions.
