The building's location provides residents with a blend of suburban tranquility and urban convenience, situated just minutes from downtown Chattanooga and the Tennessee River.

Comprehensive amenities for community living

Continental Tower offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the living experience of its residents. The centerpiece of the outdoor amenities is the in-ground pool, providing a refreshing retreat during warm Tennessee summers. Surrounding the pool area are outdoor grills, perfect for community gatherings or family barbecues. For fitness enthusiasts, the building houses a well-equipped fitness center, allowing residents to maintain their exercise routines without leaving the premises. After a workout, residents can unwind in the on-site sauna, promoting relaxation and well-being.

For those who prefer to do laundry in their own space, some units are equipped with hookups for personal laundry appliances. Storage is available at Continental Tower, with some units including a private storage area. Additional storage space can be rented in the basement, providing extra room for seasonal items or belongings that residents prefer to keep outside their living areas.

This feature protects vehicles from the elements and provides added convenience during inclement weather. Security is a key focus at Continental Tower.

The presence of a garbage chute on each floor adds to the convenience, making waste disposal effortless.

This feature is particularly valuable during severe weather events. The building's management takes care of several services, including monthly pest control, regular window washing, and maintenance of common areas. These services contribute to a well-maintained living environment and reduce the burden on individual residents. While not an amenity in the traditional sense, the building's location on a 23-acre parcel provides a sense of space and privacy uncommon in many urban settings. This expansive property allows for well-maintained grounds, creating a park-like atmosphere around the tower. The combination of these amenities and services creates a comfortable, convenient living environment at Continental Tower, fostering a sense of community among residents while providing the privacy and comfort of individual homes.

North Chattanooga: A blend of urban convenience and natural beauty

Continental Tower is situated in North Chattanooga, a neighborhood known for its dynamic blend of urban amenities and natural attractions. This area, located just north of the Tennessee River, offers residents easy access to downtown Chattanooga while maintaining a more relaxed, suburban feel. One of the neighborhood's most notable features is its proximity to the Tennessee River and the recreational opportunities it provides. The nearby Coolidge Park, a short drive from Continental Tower, is a local favorite. This waterfront park features an antique carousel, interactive play fountain, and open green spaces perfect for picnics or outdoor activities. Adjacent to Coolidge Park is Renaissance Park, offering walking trails and scenic river views. For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, the Stringer's Ridge Wilderness Preservation Area is within easy reach. This 92-acre urban wilderness area provides miles of trails for hiking, jogging, and mountain biking, all just minutes from the residential areas of North Chattanooga. The neighborhood is home to a variety of dining options, from casual eateries to upscale restaurants. The nearby Northshore district is particularly known for its eclectic mix of dining establishments, boutique shops, and art galleries. Residents can enjoy everything from farm-to-table cuisine to international flavors within a short distance from Continental Tower. For everyday needs, North Chattanooga offers convenient access to several grocery stores. Whole Foods Market and Publix are both located in the area, providing a range of options for grocery shopping. The presence of these stores, along with smaller local markets, ensures that residents can easily access fresh produce and everyday essentials. Cultural attractions abound in the vicinity of Continental Tower. The Hunter Museum of American Art, located in the nearby Bluff View Art District, houses an impressive collection of American art from the colonial period to the present day. The Chattanooga Theatre Centre, one of the oldest community theaters in the country, offers a variety of performances throughout the year, adding to the area's cultural vibrancy. For those interested in aquatic life, the Tennessee Aquarium is just a short drive away in downtown Chattanooga. This world-class facility showcases both freshwater and marine ecosystems, providing an educational and entertaining experience for visitors of all ages. The Walnut Street Bridge, a pedestrian bridge spanning the Tennessee River, connects North Chattanooga to the downtown area. This historic bridge not only serves as a convenient pedestrian and cycling route but also offers stunning views of the river and cityscape. North Chattanooga's location provides easy access to major employers and educational institutions. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is nearby, contributing to a youthful, dynamic atmosphere in the area. The proximity to downtown also means that residents of Continental Tower can easily commute to major business centers in the city.

Accessible transit options in a car-centric area

While North Chattanooga is primarily oriented towards car travel, the area does offer some public transportation options for residents of Continental Tower. The nearest bus stop, Hixson Pk & Continental, is conveniently located about a five-minute walk from the building. This stop is served by the Northgate Mall line, providing a connection to other parts of the city. For those who rely on personal vehicles, Continental Tower's location offers easy access to major roads. The building's proximity to Highway 27 allows for quick travel to downtown Chattanooga and other parts of the city. Interstate 24 is also within reach, facilitating longer trips to neighboring cities and states. Cycling enthusiasts will find some infrastructure in the area, with bike lanes and trails available, particularly along the riverfront. However, the overall bikeability of the neighborhood is limited, and most residents find cars more practical for daily transportation needs. For air travel, Lovell Field, Chattanooga's main airport, is approximately 12 miles away, or about a 25-minute drive. This regional airport offers connections to major hubs, making air travel convenient for residents. While not immediately walkable for most daily needs, the neighborhood does offer some pedestrian-friendly areas, particularly around the riverfront parks and the Northshore district. However, a car is generally necessary for commuting and running errands. The building's covered parking is a significant asset in this car-centric area, providing residents with protected spaces for their vehicles. This amenity is particularly valuable given the reliance on personal transportation in the region. Overall, while public transportation options are somewhat limited, the strategic location of Continental Tower allows for relatively easy navigation of the Chattanooga area, primarily by car. The combination of nearby bus access, major road connections, and the building's parking facilities provides residents with a range of transportation options to suit their needs.
