How is downtown Chattanooga for family living? I've seen some cool apartments.

  I 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.
