Is Soddy Daisy as nice a place to relocate as it seems.

Anyone near that area have any comments:

Why you enjoy living there, and what is not so great.

Soddy Daisy. Love it because it is close to town 20+- minutes, but your kids can ride their bikes on the street. There is a nice "new" highway that goes straight to downtown Chattanooga that is wonderful. Far enough out of town that you can actually see the stars in the sky. It's got a small town feel, parades, community events, etc. but some ppl do not like everyone knowing their name and all of the rest of their business Close to water, mountains, ppl actually have cows out that way! There are some locals I could do without and the real estate is so divided that you will find a 5k single-wide trailer next to a 400k house. I lived and worked in Soddy for close to 10 years. For what it's worth, I would move my family there.

As the road sign logo states, " A Place as Unique as its name ". Two older coal towns that joined for unity. Many churches here, just great neighbors, fits great like "A Pair of Old Blue Jeans." New construction can range from $120k to $2million 2 miles away on deep channel river front. Great paved roads, no dirt. Low electric rates, / water,etc. Every type of receration, Kayaks, hiking on Walden ridge, camping, great town park ( Chester Frost), other good towns views in all directions. Not many traffic lights. newspaper at "TimesFreePress.com " 3 local television stations , etc. many family festivals.
