Look Out Mountain (Central, Lookout Mountain: relocation, property taxes, housing)

[pianogal]

We have been looking at lookout mountain as a possible relocation area. From our research we have found the crime is very low but housing is a little pricey. I would love some input from those familiar with the area.

Thanks so much!

Lookout Mtn definitely is one of our priciest areas but it's worth the money as far as crime, schools and community. If you have kids I can say the elementary is one of our best. They even have their own board, seperate from our Hamilton County board of Education. It is a beautiful area w/some of the most amazing houses. Rock City, the incline and at the foot of the mtn you have St Elmo which is a fast growing rehab community. Great choice!

No time soon, but perhaps when we retire. We went to college in TN, I met DH there and we have always loved the mountains. We still have friends in the area.

As much as we like living in Florida, if things don't change, we won't be able to afford to live here in retirement due to property taxes and insurance. So in the meantime, we're keeping an eye on the areas we like, so far east TN and northwest SC are our choices. Thanks for asking!
