Character

Predominantly new-construction single-family homes in planned subdivisions from the 1990s through the present. Cambridge Square provides a walkable commercial and dining destination. The community skews heavily toward families with school-age children.

History

Ooltewah was a small railroad stop through the early 20th century. Rapid residential development began in the 1990s as Hamilton County's eastern corridor emerged as the preferred location for new subdivisions. Growth accelerated after The Honors Course opened in 1983 and established the eastern corridor as a prestige address.
