Shopping
Chattanooga and the surrounding area is within easy access of fantastic shopping options. The Ooltewah, Collegedale, East Brainerd, East Ridge, and Apison areas are very close to Hamilton Place Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in Tennessee. Even if you decide to live elsewhere, there is easy access to Hamilton Place from all areas of town.
The Hixson, Signal Mountain, Soddy Daisy, and Red Bank communities have a local mall option with the Northgate shopping center. In addition to the mall, there are several other shopping centers located near Northgate. As with Hamilton Place, whatever area of town you live in, Northgate is very accessible.
Downtown also has a revitalized shopping center at Warehouse Row as well as another shopping area at the North Shore. These centers provide more high end products and stores than their mall counterparts, but provide excellent retail and dining options for people from all over town. And, just like the other two shopping areas listed, both Warehouse Row and the North Shore are easy to get to from anywhere in town.
