The Ridges is centrally located in a flourishing region of the United States. It is quickly accessible to culturally rich and historic southern cities. The moderate, year-round climate here promotes an active outdoor lifestyle for every season. While the temperatures are mild, the economy is robust, and its residents inviting.
Just a half hour to Chattanooga, called “one of the best cities in the world” by U.S. News and World Report, you will discover old time southern charm in a cultured, metropolitan setting. Take a walk on the revitalized five mile stretch of River Walk where you’ll stroll through the art district. Visit the wondrous Tennessee Aquarium, a The Ridges sponsored attraction, to see the penguins at penguins' rock, graceful seahorses, and even a butterfly garden. This is the home to the Southern Writer’s Conference, the Wine Over Water Festival, the Riverbend Music Festival and the historic wooden rollercoaster, the Cannon Ball. Don’t miss world class shopping at the Hamilton Mall, the state’s largest.
The area is a hub to destinations like Atlanta (three hours away,) and Nashville and Knoxville, both two hours from Chattanooga. Neighboring Sewanee, mere moments away from The Ridges, features a Summer Music Festival each year with five weeks of classical music performances. Next door in South Pittsburg, Tennessee’s “Tidiest Town,” you can judge chefs from all over the country at the National Cornbread Festival or enter your own family recipe! Sightseeing doesn’t get any better than the magnificent rock formations at Rock City on Lookout Mountain.
With all that the area has to offer, the cost of living was nearly 20% less than the national average in 2007. Residents of the State of Tennessee enjoy no income tax.
