Condos, townhouses and single-family homes offer variety in Southside
There is a wide variety of housing styles to choose from in Southside. Large condo buildings populate the busy avenues like Main, Broad and Market streets, and these often include features like private parking garages and rooftop terraces. Townhouses are common on the smaller streets, and most are modern units built in the 2010s and 2020s. Single-family homes in the area range from early 1900s cottages to 21st-century contemporary bungalows and Craftsman homes. Most of the area north of I-24 is built out, while south of the highway it's still possible to find a home without next-door neighbors. When it comes to prices in Southside, what you pay often depends on the style of home you're looking for. Here's a typical breakdown of the costs:
Condos often fall between the lower $300,000s and the mid-$600,000s.

Southside is one of many hotspots to live, play and dine in Chattanooga.
Where to eat, drink and explore the neighborhood's food scene
Southside is a foodie haven, with dozens of restaurants to choose from. "It's pretty popular. Most of the best bars and restaurants are in the Southside area," says Jim Hughes, a Realtor at Keller Williams with six years of experience. You can find everything from fine dining to casual lunches. One of the spots Hughes recommends is Alleia, an upscale Italian spot with rustic décor. Main Street Meats is a Michelin Guide-recommended butcher and restaurant serving sandwiches and steaks, with a menu focused on locally sourced foods. You can enjoy a breakfast of pancakes and biscuits at the low-key Bluegrass Grill or dine on Southern staples at Feed Table and Tavern. The Chattanooga Choo Choo is a former train station that now houses bars, breweries and restaurants, including Stir, a popular spot known for its industrial vibe and a menu highlighted by oysters and cocktails.
Festivals, markets and live music keep residents busy
Attractions and events keep the calendar full year-round in Southside, especially at First Horizon Pavilion, which hosts a wide range of activities. "There's a little bit of everything, but I would say the biggest one is there's a farmers market," Hughes says. "It goes through mid-to-late fall." Other things you can do in the area include:
Attending festivals like Chattanooga Oktoberfest or the 4 Bridges Art Festival at First Horizon Pavilion
Enjoying live music at spots like Barrelhouse Ballroom, Hi-Fi Clyde's or The Signal
Catching a football game at Finley Stadium or a baseball game at Erlanger Park
Walkable streets and transit connect to City Center
Southside's location near City Center makes it easy to reach downtown's major employers, like the Tennessee Valley Authority and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. "You've got Market Street or Main Street, and from there, you can cruise right up. It's really walkable," says Hughes. The heart of City Center is about 1 mile from the neighborhood, making it a quick trip whether you choose to walk, drive or bike. Multiple bus routes also serve Main, Market and Broad streets, connecting to City Center and other neighborhoods, such as Highland Park.
The neighborhood has a plethora of bus stops, making it easy for locals to commute.
Southside is only minutes from Chattanooga's City Center.
