Trade pricey, congested city life for picket fences and wide-open pastures in Chickamauga, a historical town in south Chattanooga's peaceful, bucolic scenery. Old farmhouses and charming craftsman designs illustrate the area's sprawling architectural landscape. These aren't your tightly packed downtown dwellings – locals here enjoy spacious grassy yards and uncluttered agrarian views. Chickamauga offers buyers suburban convenience and slow-paced living.
Buyers will find a broad spectrum of home sizes and styles here. Most Chickamauga properties hover around $200,000 to $300,000, an enviable price point for close-in Chattanooga neighborhoods. Buyers can find a historic downtown charmer or a sturdy midcentury ranch home with lots of yard space. Development is growing, and spacious new builds sell for closer to $400,000. Most listings find new owners within a month or two.
Many local students attend Chickamauga Elementary before transitioning to Gordon Lee Middle and High. All three neighborhood schools are conveniently clustered at the center of town, facilitating an easy drop-off for families with kids of different ages. Gordon Lee High is known for its strong athletics. The Trojan's competitive cheer team placed third in the state last year, and the cross-country and softball students also had outstanding 2022 performances. The public library is next door, a comfortable spot to tackle homework assignments after school.
Chickamauga residents take the kids to Helicopter Park to play outdoors on mild Georgia days. You'll find playgrounds, sports fields and pavilions at this popular outdoor gathering place. The Chickamauga Coke Ovens are a scenic, park-like spot to spend an afternoon outdoors. Residents gather around these 19th-century beehive ovens for a vibrant arts and crafts festival every September. The Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park is also minutes away for a full day outdoors. Trail goers and kayakers navigate the historic site, replete with Civil War-era history.
Chickamauga's downtown area lodges local shops and restaurants inside its charming brick storefronts. Los Potros is the community favorite, serving the area a taste of Jalisco from its quirky equestrian-themed outpost. Locals also rave about The Groovy Gourmet, a newer addition to the neighborhood and the go-to for a cute and casual brunch. The Grind Coffee Shop is a must-stop for your morning pick-me-up. With unique flavors from blackberry cobbler to peanut butter, this local shop should satisfy any caffeine-induced craving.
You'll get to know your neighbors quickly in this small town. The friendly community gathers for holiday celebrations and unique local events. Chickamauga residents look forward to the annual Music at the Mansion when they can enjoy refreshments during bluegrass and dueling piano performances at one of the city's most prominent historic landmarks. For almost 50 years, crowds have funneled into Chickamauga's downtown area for Down Home Days, a vibrant summer festival with live music and local vendors.
While Chickamauga is a rural town, locals don't need to travel far for errands and shopping. Food Lion is right off the highway for your weekly shops, and you'll find a cluster of fast food restaurants and retail lining this short stretch of Highway 27. Chickamauga professionals are roughly half an hour outside downtown Chattanooga, and most work commuters drive into the office. If you're a buyer seeking a quiet yet connected community, Chickamauga could be a good fit.
