Locally owned restaurants are within quick reach

Popular restaurants line Hixson Pike in the neighborhood, and there are more options in the surrounding areas. “You can go to nearby Hixson if you want to go to the big-boxes and chains,” King says. “Rivermont is not the chains. I like it because it’s locally owned and operated spots, and people just like to support the people that live in the area.” Some notable restaurants nearby include:

  • Sidetrack Restaurant, an upscale casual spot that serves Southern and international fare cooked in a wood-burning oven
  • The Rosecomb, a Michelin-recommended eatery in North Chattanooga with an Appalachian-inspired menu
  • Tremont Tavern, a cozy North Chattanooga pub known for its burgers and beer selection

Outdoor recreation ranges from boating and hiking to tennis courts

Multiple parks in the area make it easy to enjoy the outdoors. Rivermont Park is a large green space on the riverbank with several softball fields, playgrounds and a boat ramp. The Champions Club, next to the park, is the city’s flagship facility for tennis, with 26 courts, a clubhouse and a pro shop. The courts are open to the public, and allow both walk-ups and reservations. Nearby White Oak Park is a smaller spot with playgrounds, picnic shelters and a dog park. It also has a connector trail that leads to Stringer’s Ridge, a 92-acre forested area with miles of hiking and biking trails.
