Buyer Area Research

Area Overview

Jamestown is the county seat of Fentress County and sits on the Cumberland Plateau in eastern Middle Tennessee. The city is positioned at the intersection of U.S. 127 and Tennessee Highway 52 and is near the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area, Pickett State Park, and Dale Hollow Lake. Jamestown was incorporated in 1837 and has a long connection to the surrounding Cumberland Plateau communities.

The Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area encompasses approximately 125,000 acres and protects the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River and its tributaries, with opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, camping, fishing, boating, and other outdoor recreation.

Safety & Crime

Crime statistics should be evaluated at the appropriate jurisdictional level rather than treated as a characteristic of an individual property. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s 2024 statewide crime report includes reporting from Fentress County law-enforcement agencies. The FBI Crime Data Explorer likewise provides agency and jurisdiction-level reported-crime information and explains that crime rates are calculated from reported offenses and population data.

For 2024, the available Fentress County reporting reflected offenses reported by participating law-enforcement agencies. Because reporting coverage and jurisdictional boundaries affect these figures, prospective buyers should review the underlying agency-level data rather than treating county statistics as a property-specific safety assessment.

Schools & Education

Fentress County Schools serves the Jamestown area and lists Allardt Elementary, Pine Haven Elementary, South Fentress Elementary, York Elementary, and Clarkrange High School among its schools. Nearby schools do not establish school-assignment eligibility for this property; enrollment boundaries should be confirmed directly with the school system before making a decision based on attendance.

Healthcare & Hospitals

Healthcare resources in Jamestown include Primary Care of Jamestown, a rural health clinic at 101 S Duncan Street, and UT Primary Care – Jamestown at 208 Central Avenue West. Primary Care of Jamestown provides preventive and primary care services, with digital X-ray and onsite laboratory services listed among its capabilities. UT Primary Care – Jamestown provides family-focused primary care, with lab services available in the office and imaging access through the adjacent emergency-department suite.

Additional healthcare resources include Signature HealthCARE of Fentress County on Duncan Street, which provides clinical, rehabilitation, and outpatient therapy services. Hospital and emergency-care options should be independently confirmed for current availability and service levels.

Housing Market History

Historical housing information for ZIP Code 38556 shows an increase in the Census-based median value of owner-occupied housing from $102,400 in 2021 to $128,400 in 2022, $147,300 in 2023, and $160,700 in 2024. These figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey five-year estimates and measure median home value rather than listing price or sale price.

The comparable 2021–2024 series represents a 56.9% increase in the reported median home value. This historical change is descriptive and does not predict future property values.

More recent market data provides a separate view. Zillow reported an average 38556 home value of $235,481, up 3.4% over the prior year, with data through May 31, 2026. Realtor.com reported a median 38556 listing price of $334,450 based on data through April 2026. These are different metrics and should not be combined with the Census median-home-value series.

Transportation & Access

Jamestown is situated along U.S. 127 and Tennessee Highway 52, providing the community’s primary regional roadway connections. The National Park Service identifies U.S. 127 as a route into Jamestown from Interstate 40, with Highway 154 and Highway 297 providing access toward Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area.

Transportation infrastructure in the broader Fentress County area is also undergoing investment. In September 2026, the Tennessee Department of Transportation announced completion of a 3.2-mile US 127/SR 28 improvement project in Clarkrange, including a widened roadway, improved drainage, paved shoulders, sidewalks, turn lanes, traffic signals, and bridge improvements. TDOT separately lists additional SR 28/US 127 segments as under construction in its current project information.

Shopping & Everyday Services

Jamestown provides everyday services within the local community, including healthcare, banking, restaurants, retail, fuel, government services, and other businesses serving Fentress County. The city functions as the county seat and the principal service center for the surrounding rural area.

Parks & Recreation

Outdoor recreation is a major part of the surrounding area. Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area encompasses approximately 125,000 acres and offers hiking, horseback riding, camping, fishing, boating, scenic overlooks, and other outdoor activities. Pickett State Park is also near Jamestown and offers hiking, horseback riding, cabin accommodations, and camping.

Closer to the city center, Jamestown Community Park includes tennis and basketball courts, volleyball facilities, walking paths, playgrounds, and picnic pavilions.

Utilities & Connectivity

The property itself is identified with public water and a septic tank. Area broadband availability varies by address. Current Jamestown-area broadband mapping identifies fiber, cable, fixed-wireless, and satellite options, including Twin Lakes fiber and Xfinity cable service in portions of the community. Availability at the property should be confirmed directly with providers before relying on a particular service or speed.

Development & Planning

Regional transportation improvements are an active part of current infrastructure planning in Fentress County. TDOT’s current State Route 28/US 127 program identifies multiple project segments in Cumberland and Fentress counties, with two segments listed as under construction and additional segments identified for funding in the state’s 10-Year Plan. These are transportation projects rather than property-specific development approvals.
