New homes in Chattanooga.
Chattanooga has undergone one of the most remarkable urban transformations of any mid-sized American city over the past two decades, with the Volkswagen North American manufacturing campus, an Amazon Southeast distribution hub, and the world's first gigabit municipal internet creating economic diversity that supports housing demand well beyond what market size alone would suggest.
New construction is most active in Hamilton County, in Ooltewah and East Brainerd, and in Bradley County, in Cleveland, with homes from $270,000 to $430,000 in rapidly developing communities.
