Older homes with character define the area's housing
Brainerd's housing inventory includes a range of early-1900s styles surrounded by mature, leafy trees. "If you're looking for a house with character, that's where you're going to want to be," says Linda Palacio, a Realtor at Zach Taylor Chattanooga with over 20 years of experience. "It's a lot of old Chattanooga." The landscape includes hilly, winding streets on the neighborhood's west side and flat, gridded layouts on the east side. As you drive through the area, you'll see Cape Cods, bungalows, Tudor Revivals and Dutch Colonials. Most homes cost between the mid-$100,000s and mid-$600,000s. You might be able to find fixer-uppers below this range, and there are occasionally large homes that sell for more.

"If I'm leaving and I know I'm going to the Brainerd area or the East Brainerd area, I prepare myself an extra 10 minutes because I know I'm going to hit traffic."
