Chattanooga is one of America’s best places to live, being ranked in the top 10 “The South’s Best Cities” by Southern Living, No. 2 on the “9 Beautiful Mountain Towns in the Southeast” list by Outside Magazine, and earning the title of the first National Park City in North America. Our thriving outdoor economy is an integral part of our community, and activities abound for all ages and interests. 

"A very scenic, very happening, and very easy place to live, with unlimited options for climbing, caving, biking, hiking and paddling." That's how Outside Magazine describes Chattanooga. There is much more to learn about your future hometown, so take some time to explore.

Chattanooga has also positioned itself as the most advanced city in the nation for wired and wireless broadband technology, bringing you the fastest internet. 

The city utility, EPB, has built a 1Gbps fiber-to-the-home network, offering a triple play of broadband services and using the network for smart grid's advanced broadband technology. Chattanooga is the only city within the United States offering 1Gbps service.

Of course, it's the people that make the real difference. Chattanooga has that strong sense of community that extends far beyond Southern hospitality and that larger cities cannot duplicate. 
You will be glad you’ve chosen Chattanooga as your new place to live!
