Westview-Mountain Shadows
Suburban Neighborhood in Chattanooga, Tennessee
Hamilton County 37421
Subdivisions in the shadows of the mountains
Banks Road divides Westview-Mountain Shadows in half, separating the homes within the private Mountain Shadows neighborhood association from the subdivisions to the west and the north. Roads in the neighborhoods tend to twist and turn, and trees are a consistent part of the landscape.Mountain Shadows consists of 600 homes on sizable lots surrounding amenities maintained by the Mountain Shadows Residents Association. Annual fees are $385 for those who purchased before 2016 and $816 for those who purchased after. "Mountain Shadows was developed in three phases over the last 40 years," says Ramos. "This gives the neighborhood an older and more natural look and provides many home style options." The homes in Mountain Shadows reflect this long-established history, and home buyers can choose from colonials, Dutch Colonials, ranch-style homes and traditional custom-built homes ranging from $400,000 to $750,000. West of Banks Road, the quiet subdivisions and cul-de-sacs near Hamilton Place Mall are not governed by homeowner associations, and buyers can purchase New Traditional homes with generous lawns for $300,000 to $650,000. Property taxes for a $400,000 home in the heart of Westview-Mountain Shadows run about half the rate for similarly valued homes closer to the city center, records show.

Private community centers and public parks
The Mountain Shadows Community Center is open to residents and offers outdoor recreation at the pool, playground and lighted sports facilities. The center also has a clubhouse available for rent for events and private parties. For residents not living within the Mountain Shadows community, Jack Benson Heritage Park is a unique city park, combining natural habitats, playground facilities, nature trails and historic buildings. Built on 22 acres, this community spot has a creek, a wetlands pond, and a historic barn. The park’s Heritage House hosts community events, art exhibits and educational programs, and residents can rent the park’s pavilions for special occasions. Families head to the Sky Zone Trampoline Park on rainy days for high-flying fun and exercise.

Hamilton's award-winning schools
The Hamilton County School District serves Westview. Students can begin their education at Westview Elementary and East Hamilton Middle School, both of which scored an A-minus on Niche. They can continue at East Hamilton High School, which earned a B-plus on the site. East Hamilton High has an extensive list of clubs and organizations, including unique options like mock trial, herpetology, hiking club and virtual enterprise. The Southern Adventist University is about 7 miles east of Westview, while the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is about 15 miles west.

Getting around Westview-Mountain Shadows
Bordered by State Route 321 to the east and State Route 320 to the south, Westview-Mountain Shadows has a direct connection to downtown Chattanooga about 16 miles west. Interstate 75, another major thoroughfare, runs just west of the community. This is a car-dependent neighborhood with minimal transit options within the residential area. However, there are several bus stops at the Hamilton Place Shopping Mall along Gunbarrel Road. The Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport is located 8 miles from Westview-Mountain Shadows, offering direct flights to such hubs as Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago and Charlotte.

The region's largest shopping mall
Westview-Mountain Shadows is within a few miles of the Hamilton Place Shopping Mall, a retail complex with more than 200 stores spread throughout the two-story indoor mall. The mall is surrounded by familiar restaurant chains and national retailers, including Texas Roadhouse, Cracker Barrel, Target, Walmart and REI Co-op. For groceries, residents can choose between Trader Joe’s, Food City, Publix or The Fresh Market. Just west of the neighborhood, Lola Beans Coffee is a drive-thru coffee stand resembling a log cabin with floor-to-ceiling windows and an asymmetric roof. Uncle Larry’s is a popular seafood restaurant that, despite its nondescript outer appearance, has not flown under the radar. This highly rated, casual spot serves deep-fried favorites with a theme combining Tennessee mountain charm and a nautical flair. “The catfish is particularly popular,” says owner Larry Torrence.
