About Chattanooga's Brainerd

Glendon Place is one of those Chattanooga neighborhoods that you drive by all the time (it's just off Germantown so if you live points east & work downtown there's a good chance you pass it every day) but might not notice.

Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly charming whizzing by at 45 but you don't really appreciate it unless you make the turn and take a little Sunday drive through its winding streets.

Brainerd gets a bad rap sometimes as a not-so-happening place to live but it really has a lot to offer. Leafy streets plus good proximity to I-24 and downtown as well as newer shopping areas like Hamilton Place. What's not to love?

Especially when you've got A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E houses like these.

Make no mistake, some of these are older homes that probably need some updating and sweat equity, but really, what would you give to live in a house this cute?

Check out Chattanooga homes for sale in Glendon Place. And don't be surprised if there isn't much. This isn't a big place and when something comes on the market, well, have you SEEN these houses?

How cute are these houses? Very. I know.

One place that I don't often get calls about is the Brainerd area. In all the hubbub surrounding North Chattanooga and more historic areas like Highland Park or St. Elmo, Brainerd often gets overlooked.

But I'm on a one woman crusade to change that.

Because there are also cottages and bungalows like this:

These are not your cookie cutter subdivision kinds of places. No sirree, Bob.

While they may not actually qualify as historic -most were built in the '30's and '40's - they certainly don't qualify as modern (mid-century or otherwise).

I could eat 'em up with a spoon. And I haven't even mentioned the lovely old homes of Glendon Place...

Tudors & Dutch Colonials & Craftsman bungalows, oh my!

Squeeeeee!

Admission: Yes, I'm the biggest house geek you'll ever hope to meet.
