Chattanooga, Tennessee, also known as the "Scenic City," is considered to be the best of both worlds.  With a charming small town atmosphere combined with the advantages and luxuries of a big city, Chattanooga is reflected on as one of the most livable cities in America.  This city thrives on its naturally beautiful and exquisite setting alongside the Tennessee River.  Placed between Signal and Lookout Mountains, area residents take advantage of their surroundings by enjoying a plethora of outdoor activities including biking, camping, canoeing, caving, fishing, hang gliding, hiking, rafting, rock climbing, and so many more.

If the outdoors are something you only like to admire from afar, check out some of Chattanooga’s great arts and culture options that are available.  The Bluff View Art District, Chattanooga Symphony, Hunter Museum of American Art or one of the many stadiums and theaters might offer something to fit your eccentric fancy.

At night Chattanoogans take to the streets and hit one of the hundreds of fabulous restaurants with tastes including Cajun, barbecue, fine dining, tex-mex, or just a locally brewed beer.  Next, hoppin’ nightclubs, bars and area pubs wait bustling with locals, tourists and all kinds of flair and character.  Take pleasure in a night on the town or relax at a neighborhood coffeehouse with friends and good conversation.

With the city of Chattanooga at a population of about 155,000 and Hamilton County at about 310,000, the Chattanooga and surrounding areas real estate market has been ranked as the most expensive market in Tennessee with an average home price of about $233,000.
