About This Home

PRIME INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY in the Heart of the Southside! Value confirmed by recent appraisal.
LOCATION, LOCATION,LOCATION! This exceptional multi-family investment property sits in the vibrant Southside district—one of Chattanooga's fastest-growing neighborhoods. The property includes four buildings: three duplexes (each featuring a two-room studio) and one standalone unit offering 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.
Situated within a federally designated OPPORTUNITY ZONE, this property provides substantial tax advantages for investors. With MIXED-USE COMMERCIAL ZONING, you'll have the flexibility to:
Continue operating as a multi-family rental property
Reposition for higher-yield residential or short-term rentals
Explore creative redevelopment or mixed-use possibilities Flexible zoning permits up to 4 stories of vertical development, and an adjacent parcel is available, enabling larger-scale commercial, mixed-use, or redevelopment projects. Would make an excellent artist community! Its location near the transformative South Broad District and new Lookouts Stadium development further enhances long-term value and demand.
Positioned in an Opportunity Zone with redevelopment upside, this property offers a compelling blend of current utility, tax-advantaged investment potential, and strategic growth positioning. Whether you're seeking steady cash flow or looking for a dynamic development project, this Southside property delivers exceptional potential in one of Chattanooga's most desirable investment corridors
