A mix of home styles and ages in the neighborhood
As you drive along the winding, tree-lined streets of the neighborhood, you’ll notice that it feels like an established community. “It’s a more mature neighborhood. They’re more luxury-type homes, but they’re also older,” says Joanie Sompayrac, a Realtor at Keller Williams with seven years of experience. The area has a median build year of 1986, and many of the 20th-century homes are Colonial Revivals, traditional and ranch-style houses. While these are common, you can still find lots of new construction, especially in the Social Circle and Reflections subdivisions. Most homes cost between the upper $200,000s and the upper $700,000s, but some large properties over 4,000 square feet range from the lower $500,000s to the mid-$1.2 millions. Homeowners associations are common, with fees of up to $100 per month, and they often include amenities such as community pools and clubhouses.
Two-story homes with silos behind them reflect the rural history of the neighborhood.
New Traditional homes can be found in the newer parts of Westview-Mountain Shadows.

Other big-box stores like Target, Walmart and Kohl’s

Highways shape daily commutes around Chattanooga
Major roads are conveniently located nearby for commutes throughout Chattanooga. If you live in the northwest corner of the neighborhood, you can hop on I-75 and take the highway all the way into City Center, about a 13-mile drive; residents of the southeast part of the community will likely take East Brainerd Road to I-75, which is a 15-mile trip. Sompayrac says the drive is typically 20 to 25 minutes, but ongoing construction and rush-hour traffic can slow things down.
