Nestled among three mountains on a sweeping
curve of the Tennessee River, tourism has become one of Chattanooga's greatest
revenue producers. Boasting the privately funded Tennessee Aquarium, Ross's
Landing district on the riverfront, and Tennessee Riverpark, which features
nature trails for miles along the beautiful Tennessee River. Chattanoogans
converted the century-old Walnut Street Bridge into a pedestrian park.
Chattanooga offers a host of new hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, museums,
convention centers, fun attractions, an art district and a new baseball
stadium.

Buying Land and New Construction >Buying New or Buying Old
New homes typically have a higher sales price than comparable existing homes, and buyers are usually willing to spend more on a new home because of lower maintenance costs. Builders' warranties on new homes, when combined with a new roof, appliances, and major systems, usually make major repairs unnecessary and help to counter a slower initial rate of appreciation.
Census Bureau Housing Surveys suggests that operating costs are lowest for brand new homes and slightly higher for relatively new existing homes. Operating costs per square foot of living space are consistently higher for progressively older existing homes. Utility costs represent the largest factor in operating costs. Energy consumption per square foot depends on the size of the home, the insulation and quality of the windows, air leakage and the efficiency of the furnace.
New homes require fewer expenditures for routine maintenance. The cost of maintenance first increases with age, then declines, so you will generally spend less maintaining a home built before 1960 than for a home built between 1970 and 1975.
