Character

A quiet residential community with a mix of older single-family homes, mobile homes, and some new construction. The geographic containment of the valley gives the community a distinct small-town feel despite its proximity to Chattanooga.

History

The valley was historically a Cherokee travel corridor and later a Civil War staging area. Residential development accelerated through the mid-20th century as suburban expansion moved west along the river corridor.
