Bakewell-Sale Creek
Developments centered on modern traditional homes
Fingers of Chickamauga Lake extend into Bakewell-Sale Creek, making it possible to have both waterfront property and mountain views at the same time. To the south, homes with sprawling yards and large driveways sit on winding roads. U.S. 27 to the north leads to a scenic, more rural landscape where homes dot narrow country roads under a canopy of trees. Most homes throughout the neighborhood were built on at least a half-acre. Ranch-style homes, colonials and modern traditional homes with Craftsman stylings are prevalent, with the occasional log cabin in the northern portion. Two-bedroom homes range from $200,000 to $500,000, while houses with four bedrooms or more for $400,000 to $800,000. Though some properties date back to the 1960s, the majority were built after 2000.

Set sail at Riverside Marina
Possum Creek RV Park provides an outdoor escape for hiking, fishing and swimming. Big Possum Creek Trailhead of the Cumberland Trail is a popular hiking spot that leads to a waterfall. Riverside Marina (formerly Sale Creek Marina) offers boating at Chickamauga Lake. Hiking enthusiasts can also trek along the Lower Leggett Trailhead, a paved loop trail that goes past swimming holes.

Nearby small towns and amenities
Page points out that Bakewell-Sale Creek residents dine out in Dayton or downtown Chattanooga. For groceries, there’s a Food City in Soddy-Daisy, a neighboring community that borders Bakewell-Sale Creek to the south. Residents can also drive about 20 miles west to downtown Dunlap for both dining and shopping destinations. “The most popular Mexican restaurant is El Metate,” Page says. El Metate offers an extensive menu focusing on traditional dishes with a bit of a modern twist. Closer to home, Steve’s Landing Waterfront Grill stands at the border of Soddy-Daisy and Bakewell-Sale Creek and at the edge of Soddy Lake. Steve’s Landing serves seafood from a cabin with a tree-shaded patio perched along the waterfront. For some one of a kind items, the Small Town Antique Mall on Dayton Pike is ideal for discovering home décor from yesteryear. Open since 1997, Small Town is one of the few commercial spots within the neighborhood. “We chose this spot because we have a lot of travelers that go up and down 27,” says Sue Clark, manager of Small Town Antique Mall. “We also get a lot of locals that know we're here and know the quality that we carry.”

The Hamilton County School District
The Hamilton County School District serves Bakewell-Sale Creek. Students can begin their education at North Hamilton County Elementary, which scored a B-plus on Niche. They can continue at Sale Creek Middle/High, a merged school with a 15-to-1 student-teacher ratio and a B-plus on Niche. School athletics teams are popular and successful, with the softball and volleyball teams frequently contending for state titles. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is about 25 miles south.

A fair at Old McDonald's Farm
Every November, the Little Debbie Hamilton County Fair is held on Old McDonald’s Farm in Sale Creek. Live music is the main attraction, but attendees can also enjoy a chili cook-off, rodeo, lumberjack show and pie-eating contest. Fireworks and carnival rides round out the experience.Convenient access to U.S. Route 27
U.S. 27 is a key thoroughfare that bisects Bakewell-Sale Creek, providing a route to downtown Chattanooga about 25 miles south. Just south of the neighborhood, U.S. 27 intersects with State Route 111, which leads to Dunlap. The neighborhood has no bus line, so owning a car is essential. The newer developments containing modern traditional homes are walkable, and so is nearby downtown Chattanooga. The Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport is about 25 miles south.Crime
Bakewell Sale Creek's overall CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
