Well-loved Brainerd Hills shows off mid-century homes and expansive parks
On nice days, residents of Brainerd Hills watch as planes smoothly descend onto the runway of the nearby Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport. Located at the east end of the greater Brainerd area and just nine miles east of downtown, one might expect a neighborhood teeming with energy. Instead, what buyers find today in Brainerd Hills are many of the same features it boasted when it was developed in the 1950s—quiet pocket parks, mid-century modern homes and large front yards that show off well-tended gardens. Homes display a variety of architecture, from tidy, well-updated cottages and split-levels to recently built New Traditional homes and renovated ranch-style homes. While the neighborhood is quiet and low-key, it is bisected by U.S. Route 64 and Tennessee state Route 320, and accompanying businesses including Top Golf, Sir Goony’s Family Fun Center and Capital Toyota.

We have lived on Bass Rd in Brainerd Hills for 20 years. This is NOT a high crime area- false information. There are incidents of petty theft when cars have been left unlocked at night and rare isolated incidents of worse crimes, but this does NOT qualify as a high crime area.
Ours is a peaceful neighborhood- lots of folks walking dogs, parents pushing baby strollers, and joggers. This is a very stable older neighborhood, so no loud parties, etc.
