[**Open Hixson in Google Maps →**35.1300° N, 85.2400° W · ZIP 37343](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=35.13,-85.24) ## Character A mature suburban community with a mix of 1960s–1990s ranch-style and split-level homes and newer infill. The commercial corridor has shifted from retail-dominant to a mix of medical offices, restaurants, and service businesses since Northgate Mall's decline. Greenway Farms and Chester Frost Park provide significant green space. ## History Hixson developed through the post-World War II suburban expansion of Chattanooga, accelerated by the construction of Highway 27 north and the proliferation of automobile-dependent development patterns. The community incorporated informally as an unincorporated census-designated place within Hamilton County.
