Shopping

Downtown Chattanooga is a shopper's paradise. Anchored by the iconic Warehouse Row, you'll find a mix of high-end boutiques, local artisan shops, and popular retail chains.

The dining scene in Downtown Chattanooga is as diverse as it is delicious. From the award-winning St. John's Restaurant, known for its innovative American cuisine³, to the local favorite Urban Stack, which serves up gourmet burgers and a vast selection of whiskey⁴, there's a restaurant to satisfy every palate. Don't forget to check out the local breweries, like Chattanooga Brewing Company, for a taste of the local craft beer scene⁵.

Outdoor Activities

Nestled between the Tennessee River and the Appalachian Mountains, Downtown Chattanooga offers a wealth of outdoor activities. The Tennessee Riverwalk, a 13-mile trail along the river, is perfect for walking, biking, or jogging⁶. Coolidge Park, with its interactive water fountain and historic carousel, is a favorite among families⁷. And for the more adventurous, there's rock climbing at High Point Climbing and Fitness, one of the largest indoor rock climbing facilities in the nation⁸.

Schools

Downtown Chattanooga is served by the Hamilton County Schools district, which includes several highly rated schools. Among them is the Normal Park Museum Magnet School, an award-winning K-8 school known for its innovative curriculum integrating museum resources⁹.

Other Community Features

Downtown Chattanooga is rich in culture and history. The Tivoli Theatre, known as the "Jewel of the South," hosts a variety of performances, from Broadway shows to concerts¹⁰. The Creative Discovery Museum is a hit with kids, offering interactive exhibits that make learning fun¹¹. And the Chattanooga Choo Choo, a historic hotel that was once a train station, is a must-see¹².

Types of Housing Available

Downtown Chattanooga offers a variety of housing options to suit different lifestyles. For those seeking urban living, there are numerous condos and lofts, many of which offer stunning views of the river and mountains¹³. If you prefer a more traditional home, the Battery Place Historic District features beautiful historic homes, while the NorthShore area offers charming bungalows and townhouses¹⁴.

Price Ranges of Available Housing

The price range in Downtown Chattanooga varies greatly depending on the type and location of the property. Condos and lofts in the heart of downtown can range from $200,000 to over $1 million for luxury units¹⁵.
