Downtown excitement meets vintage charm
Originally its own small city, Highland Park was incorporated into Chattanooga in 1929 and maintains much of the historic charm it had at that time. Thanks to a diligent neighborhood association, its proximity to downtown Chattanooga, and its inherent old-school style, Highland Park has bloomed in a number of exciting ways. “You’ve got some of the most charming, diverse architecture in the whole city,” says Grace Frank, Realtor with Chattanooga Real Estate Group and former resident who lived in Highland Park for over 10 years. “But you also have super exciting new construction going on too.” Just two miles east of downtown, Highland Park offers its residents a compelling mixture of urban excitement, room to stretch out, and history for those looking to have a bit of everything.

Renowned vintage stylings
Homes in the neighborhood are known for their charm and historic style, with some of them even having appeared in publications such as Southern Living and Victorian Times Magazine. “Some of them really do feel like they’re frozen in time,” says Frank. The undeniable vintage charm of the houses—most of which were built between 1900 and 1930—means that renovations are a regular part of upkeep. The most common types of homes are elegant Victorians, colorful Craftsman styles, and low-profile bungalows. Many styles have been blended too, leading to unique accents like bay windows and triangular frames forming a Queen Anne bungalow. Condominiums and townhouses are also available. Prices range anywhere from $175,000 to $635,000.
