We live in Chattanooga.
I love the outdoor culture, weather, low cost of living, focus on healthy eating, local restaurants, EPB fiber, small city vibe.
It has been compared to Austin and Boulder. The city schools suck because they don’t get enough funding. There are good private schools downtown and a good elementary.
The suburbs have some solid schools if you do your research. Suburbs like Ooltewah are growing and remain super family friendly. You’ll love the parks and town squares. Iron man has hosted here often. It’s 2 hours from Atlanta and Nashville.
It’s a very progressive city given the context of Tennessee and the south.
I could go on. If you’d like to know more, hit me up. I also work remotely.
We would consider moving to Colorado or Europe. That’s about it.
- TbobbyZ 8y agoHow is downtown Chattanooga for family living? I've seen some cool apartments.
- dvdhnt 8y agoI used to live downtown with my kids. The apartment was gorgeous. Southside is currently going through gentrification, that's where I lived, and is the younger area. The North Shore is where you'll find the most wealth and private schools. Lots of young families are buying homes in Highland Park and St. Elmo because they're less expensive. Again, you have to do your research. Living downtown allows you to walk to most events - CFC (soccer team), the downtown market, block parties, restaurants, etc. The public transit isn't very good but Ubers and Lyfts are cheap. We enjoyed living downtown except for grocery shopping. It's a bit more expensive and a drive from Southside. It's not far, but you have stoplights and all of that. All in all, I'd say 7/10. I come from a more rural, less dense area, but coming from the Bay, you'll probably feel like it's easy as pie to get around.
