An outdoor oasis in suburban Chattanooga
Fifteen miles north of Downtown Chattanooga sits Middle Valley, one of Tennessee’s lakefront communities. Middle Valley Road slices through the pseudo-rural landscape, branching out from which are smaller streets that eventually give way to cul de sacs. Older homes mix newer construction, showcasing a variety of quirky styles and unusual design choices. “If you were to call Hamilton County and ask them how many permits were pulled for new homes, it would probably be very high,” says Affiliate Broker and Owner Wendy Dixon of Dixon Team Keller Williams. Though primarily residential, the area has several small businesses and restaurants scattered throughout. Middle Valley is one of the fastest-growing communities in the Chattanooga area, in part due to the popularity of Chester Frost Park, which draws people from Hamilton County and beyond. Chickamauga Lake is the main attraction, and it rests on the east side. Lakefront homes comprise a fraction of the neighborhood’s real estate, but the lifestyle is open to all.
Middle Valley is known for it's water sports.

A blend of old ranch-style homes and newer Tudor Revivals
Middle Valley occupies a wide swath of acreage between Interstate 27 and Chickamauga Lake. With more than 7,000 total homes, Middle Valley’s housing market offers homes as varied in their architecture as the streets they occupy. Buyers might find a modest ranch-style home on the gridded streets closer to the neighborhood’s center, selling for $215,000 to $400,000. Quiet, dead-end cul-de-sacs weave throughout the wooded hills on the neighborhood’s periphery. More ranch and split-level-style homes appear here, featuring off-street parking and large yards. These fetch between $250,000 and $350,000. “The home prices are much lower in Middle Valley than in the suburbs east of Chattanooga,” says local Realtor Rommel Ramos of Keller Williams Realty Chattanooga. “But residents still get large homes in the woods, and they’re only 20 minutes from Downtown Chattanooga.” New construction leans toward bungalows with a Tudor Revival influence, reflected in the roof shape and window designs. The price range is vast, with most falling between $380,000 and $600,000 for a three- or four-bedroom home. Three and four-bedroom ranch-style and split-level homes on the lake sell anywhere from $300,000 to $700,000, but brand-new builds with a Tudor Revival aesthetic creep up to the $1 million mark.
