Whether you opt to live downtown or in the suburbs, you're going to like the hospitality you find here.

River Districts

The Hunter Museum for the arts is excellent and Chattanooga also has both a symphony and opera company providing many concerts throughout the year. The Riverwalk area is great for both tourists and locals for shopping and restaurants with the same being said for the exciting North Shore district across the river. For those who love the outdoors, there are miles of trails along the river, numerous good golf courses, and so many hiking trails with caverns and waterfalls, you'll never want to go anywhere else. In summer, there are numerous festivals one of which is a nine day music festival which increases the city's population dramatically.

Sticky Barbeque

The Pickle Barrel is popularfor their fried pickles as well as great burgers and cold beer. You'll find international cuisines as easy as true Southern cooking, and once in your Chattanooga apartment, you'll have the opportunity to check out your new favorites.

Dance the Night Away

At night, folks in Chattanooga go out! For dancing, you can usually find a good crowd at Allen Gold's Disco or the Walden Club. Both have dancing, and the Walden Club serves dinner too.
