Westside blends city access with rural charm
Found just below the Tennessee-Georgia border, Westside is a semi-rural community that's been enjoying new development. With seemingly endless green fields, the charm of a small-town atmosphere and quick access to everyday necessities, this neighborhood is a well-rounded place to settle in Georgia. And if you need to get to the city? You're only 13 miles from downtown Chattanooga, around a 20-minute drive. For those who want the quiet of a rural community without giving up city convenience, Westside has managed a perfect balance between the two.
Westside offers residents homes in a variety of architectural styles.
Westside is a growing residential neighborhood with new construction subdivisions.

Newer homes across open fields and set in subdivisions
The residential areas of Westside started developing at the end of the 20th century, so you won't find many truly vintage homes here. Many housing types are common in the Georgia landscape, with simple ranch homes and split-levels built on the rolling hills and stretching green acreage alongside brick Colonial Revivals bringing an air of elegance. However, not all of the landscape looks so rural. New subdivisions have been cropping up more frequently in the 21st century, with contemporary properties set by neat sidewalks and manicured lawns. The median selling price for single-family homes in Westside is $288,000, while town houses sell for around $265,000. Older, two and three-bedroom homes typically start around $250,000, while properties with more square footage – often extremely new builds – can easily surpass $400,000.
Ranch style homes are abundant in Westside.

Locally owned restaurants and shops draw drivers from I-75
Westside is bordered by the major thoroughfare of Interstate 75, part of the primary highway system for Northwest Georgia. You'll find major commercial areas off the interstate, and the neighborhood has smaller pockets of retail and service businesses along Cloud Springs Road. Whether you need to stop into Costco, take your car to the shop or figure out where you want to do your banking, Westside has you covered. There are also many local businesses to explore, from antique stores to clothing boutiques and restaurants. You'll often find residents in Portofino's, a family-run restaurant that dishes out comforting, homemade Greek and Italian meals.
