Epi-center of shopping and dining

Once acres of rolling farmland, East Brainerd is now a thriving hub for shopping and dining. "I would call it a shopper's paradise," says longtime resident and Realtor/broker Grace Frank with Chattanooga Real Estate Group. "It has everything, including the only local Trader Joe's." This retail mecca is known for regional and national chain stores with few small businesses. "East Brainerd comprises over 30 neighborhoods; some older with large lots, some newer with smaller lots. There's also a lot of new construction," Frank says. "The area is very diverse, and homes move pretty quickly here." Here, houses with manicured lawns sit on wide streets with sidewalks.

Dining and shopping are never far

For local dining, Frank recommends J. Alexander Restaurant, a regional chain serving wood-fired American fare in a contemporary setting. "It's a go-to spot for lunch and dinner," she says. Another popular eatery is the family-owned Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant, a Chattanooga staple for 25 years. Next to Heritage Park is East Brainerd Shopping Center, which has a Food City as its anchor. Hamilton Place is a 5-mile drive via back streets and features anchor stores like Belk, Dillard's and JCPenney. Additional shopping locations are Hamilton Corner, Hamilton Crossing, The Terrace at Hamilton Place and The Shoppes at Hamilton Place.
