Those setting out on the hunt for perfect apartments in Chattanooga will find a rich banquet of neighborhoods, architecture and budgets from which to choose.

Why live in Chattanooga, TN?

Steeped in history while keeping an eye toward a diverse, eco-friendly future, Chattanooga offers a rich selection of neighborhoods for those planning to move to the area.
