Where are some of the best neighborhoods in Chattanooga? Join us as we look at a few of the most popular destinations for home buyers throughout the Tennessee Valley. 

‍

Nestled between the mountains in Southeast Tennessee, the fast-growing community of Hixson provides the peace, quiet, and convenience of the suburbs just minutes from the action and attractions of Downtown Chattanooga.

‍

While Downtown Chattanooga is a hub of innovation, an outdoor mecca, and a popular tourist destination with a thriving arts and entertainment scene, Hixson is a thriving community in its own right.

‍

Here’s a quick overview of why so many people are choosing to call Hixson home. 
‍

Location

‍

Hixson is accessible via US-153 from the south and Highway 27 from the north, and provides additional direct connections to the city via both the winding, scenic Hixson Pike and the straighter, quicker Amnicola Highway, which runs along the beautiful Tennessee River.

‍

Schools

‍

The community is home to three public schools — DuPont Elementary, Hixson Middle School, and Hixson High School — known for top-notch academics, as well as robust extracurricular options. 

‍

Dining

‍

In addition to numerous national staples, Hixson boasts a wide variety of delicious local options to satisfy virtually every taste bud — from southern BBQ, sushi, and Mexican to Mediterranean, creole, and homemade Italian fare. Looking for Asian cuisine? Enjoy multiple hibachi options, as well as Formosa, a longtime local favorite for Chinese cuisine. You can’t go wrong with Dixie BBQ or Choo Choo BBQ. Get your pasta fix at Biba’s and one of Lupi’s perfect pizza pies. Need a pick-me-up? Grab a cup of coffee (and maybe a sandwich or some of Nana’s famous frozen custard) at Sourdough Cuppa Joe.     

‍

Shopping

‍

From big boxes to boutiques, Hixson is filled with great places to browse and buy. Northgate Mall has anchored Hixson’s retail scene for 50 years, joined in recent decades by the centrally located Oak Park Shopping Center and Northtowne Center. Vinterest Antiques is home to more than 100 vendors offering an eclectic mix of vintage items, antiques, furniture, home decor, and hand crafts from local artisans. You can get a homemade quilt at Pins and Needles and find some new or preloved vinyl at For the Record. Bryden’s market is Hixson’s home for fresh produce, local honey, and beautiful plants, and family-owned Don’s Meat Shop has served as the area’s premiere butcher shop since 1988.
