Between the river and a lively shopping scene
At the edge of the Tennessee River, Dupont is a residential enclave full of midcentury homes bordered by a lively shopping and dining scene. "It's near Chickamauga Lake, you're 15 minutes from downtown Chattanooga, there's a ton of stores – it's just really convenient," says Evan Barron, a Realtor with eXp Realty. In 1948, the DuPont nylon factory opened a manufacturing facility across the river of downtown Chattanooga, drawing new workers to the area. Homes quickly sprung up around the factory, becoming the Dupont neighborhood. Though the facility closed in 2015, and a new manufacturer occupied the space, its impact on creating a community is still alive.
The combination of Dupont's convenient location and scenic beauty attracts many to call it home.
Dupont's First Watch has a lively patio where patrons can enjoy breakfast and lunch.

Mid-century homes along the hills
The largest residential area lies to the north end of the neighborhood. Curving roads lead to a sprawling suburban landscape, with homes dotting the hilly terrain. Many properties have long front drives, with homes set far from the road. Many of the properties in Dupont are owner-occupied, single-family homes, built during the factory's heyday -- the 1950s to the 1970. Though some contemporary housing is peppered throughout, common architectural styles include ranch-style homes, mixed-material split-levels and the classic bungalow – a favored style for Chattanooga. Contemporary homes have characteristic twists like center A-frames and attached sunrooms. Prices range from $250,000 to $500,000.
Quaint Ranches make up a large portion of the real estate collection of Dupont.

Dupont Park and riverfront views
Dupont Park has nearly 13 acres of lush greenery with four soccer fields, several picnic pavilions and walking trails under the shade of trees. "Dupont Park is the best place if you love disc golfing; it's got a really great course. If you're in Tennessee, disc golfing is a pretty big thing," says Barron. The Champions Club Tennis Complex is just west, alongside the Rivermont Park baseball fields and boat ramp. The south of Dupont borders the Tennessee River, making Tennessee Riverpark a quick trip across the C.B. Robinson Bridge. This park offers a ton of open green space for picnicking and stunning river views. For jogging and biking, the Riverpark has a long, diverse paved greenway system that winds through the trees and past the water.
