How do you know when you've found the right community for you? Most people say there's a certain special something that helps them feel like they've finally come home.

It might be a combination of world-class amenities, convenience, leading employers or the best schools. Chattanooga has all of these things and many more, besides.

Thanks to its unique culture and location, you'll also find plenty of features that you wouldn't expect elsewhere.

It provides incredible recreational and athletic activities other places can only imagine.

One of those is the annual Head of the Hooch rowing regatta held right in Chattanooga.

It's perhaps the favorite here at Fletcher Bright Realty – and if you happen to be around to look at homes in the area, you shouldn't pass up the chance to see it for yourself.
