Hickory Valley
Suburban Neighborhood in Chattanooga, Tennessee
Hamilton County 37421
Have your sights set on convenience and accessibility? Hickory Valley is an east Chattanooga suburb next to the airport with small subdivisions surrounded by busy retail hubs. The neighborhood's quiet residential streets trace Hickory Valley's sloping hillsides, cushioned from nearby industrial and commercial landscapes by dense woodland.
Home sizes and styles vary significantly in this transitional neighborhood, accommodating a broad spectrum of buyers. "It's a good spot for a first-time home buyer or investor," says Asher Black, Realtor at Keller Williams Realty. "You get more bang for your buck here - more house for less money. You also have a great opportunity to build up equity," Black adds. Hickory Valley's modest developments neighbor sturdy midcentury homes with tailored landscaping. You'll also find a subdivision of stone-clad millennium mansions in town. Simple starter homes sell for $200,000, while turnkey townhomes and well-maintained midcentury designs fall closer to $300,000. Spacious residences in sidewalk communities start at $400,000 and reach $650,000, increasing with size and updates. Hickory Valley properties typically sell within a month of listing.
Hickory Valley's public schools are a few miles up the road. Many local students begin their studies at Bess T. Shepherd Elementary and continue to Tyner Academy Middle and High. The school has been a community landmark since the early 20th century and is well-known for its stellar athletics. The Rams took home the 2022 football championship title. There are also several nearby private education options for Hickory Valley families with kids.
These locals don't need to go far for a little fresh air. You'll find natural pockets dotted throughout the neighborhood. Shepherd Park's splash pad is a hit with the kids on steamy summer days. The visitor-activated water feature is available for half the year. During cooler seasons, Hickory Valley locals walk the wooded trails and shuttle the kids to the playground. Enterprise South Nature Park's expansive 2,800 acres are also minutes away, calling crowds of nature lovers. Mountain bikers whirr through 20 miles of wide wooded trails while others visit to unwind with a slow hike. The park is also a popular spot for community events like the County Fair and local races.
Hickory Valley residents are convenient to Hamilton Village Shopping Mall, a traditional destination packed with department stores and name-brand retailers. Hamilton Village's indoor-outdoor setup also has extensive retail and dining. Within a swarm of familiar fast-food chains, you'll find a few local dining favorites. Happy hours are always busy at Molcajete, with patrons sipping craft cocktails and snacking on scratch-made salsas. In Hickory Valley, you don't need to cross any highways for a good meal out. Chatter Box Café is just down the street, a neighborhood hot spot serving delectable house-smoked barbeque staples.
Hickory Valley homeowners have their pick of chain grocers, from Publix to Whole Foods to Trader Joe's, all conveniently clustered along a 1-mile stretch of Gunbarrel Road. Relocating professionals will find several nearby employment centers. The local hospital is minutes away, and you're less than 15 miles from the heart of the city. The Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport is also right around the corner for frequent flyers and business travelers. Location is key for Hickory Valley homebuyers. Whether you're a first-time buyer on a budget or a city dweller looking for more room to grow, this well-positioned suburb could be a good fit for you.
