Chattanooga is home to show-stopping Southern Appalachian views and a bustling economy. With access to top schools, notable employers, premier medical facilities, and an overall low cost of living, residents and newcomers alike have a place to flourish in the Scenic City.
Ranked among “The South’s Best Cities” by Southern Living, “24 Best Mountain Towns in the U.S.” in 2023 by Outside magazine, and “The Best Places to Live in the South” by U.S. News & World Report, Chattanooga champions an exceptional standard of living. Attracting national and international visitors, the city’s current rate of growth remains in line with the eight percent population increase experienced between 2010 and 2020, with the city’s population estimated to be over 184,000 in 2023.
Luckily, Chattanooga is a locus of affordable living options. From modern lofts to sprawling multi-acre farms, the city and its surrounding areas have housing available for every budget and taste. Condominiums, townhomes, and family homes are popular options in the bustling downtown area. Outside the city, homeowners can choose between single-family homes with brow views, lakefront lots, golf course communities, and expansive lots. Additionally, proximity to recreational areas and over 35 miles of greenways and trails give every property access to beautiful Scenic City views.
Despite increases in market pricing, Chattanooga continues to make strides in its effort to maintain affordable, quality housing options. In 2023, the city unveiled its first-ever Housing Action Plan to further support access to housing for every Chattanoogan. Additionally, Chattanooga’s overall cost of living remains below the national average, and Tennesseans benefit from low property taxes and no state income taxes.
Chattanooga’s prime location is another advantage. The city sits at the junction of multiple interstate highways and the Tennessee River. The Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport makes for easy travel to destinations across the United States, and some of the Southeast’s largest metros – including Atlanta and Nashville – are only a short drive away. Residents additionally enjoy convenient access to some of the area’s leading employers.
An impressive lineup of area schools also makes Chattanooga an ideal setting for quality education. Local colleges and universities offer associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees – with student populations ranging from a few thousand to the 10,000s. The area is also home to more than 38 private schools, many of which are nationally acclaimed.
Major healthcare systems such as CHI Memorial, Erlanger, Parkridge Health System, and Cleveland’s Tennova Healthcare ensure superior medical care. Other general practitioners, dental and optical services, and specialized medical care facilities are conveniently located in and around the city.
All of these reasons and more make the Scenic City an appealing place to work and live.
