The median home in the city of Pigeon Forge was built in 1995, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Tennessee median of 1987. That is in line with the Sevier County median of 1995.1 Most of Pigeon Forge's housing is recent: only 26% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 14% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 33%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Sevier County as a whole (26% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Pigeon Forge are older than rentals: a median build year of 1984 against 1989.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.

Pigeon Forge has a mixed housing stock: 47% detached houses, 0% attached or townhouse units and 29% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 11% of units.1 Manufactured homes take different roofing, skirting, anchoring and addition details from site-built houses, so say which kind of home it is when you call. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Pigeon Forge, with 46% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Tennessee share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Pigeon Forge is valued at $291,800 (ACS), close to the Tennessee median of $286,700. Within Sevier County the median is $299,000, so Pigeon Forge sits close to it.1
