Single family dwellings and Duplexes are no longer allowed for government lease. Currently that is the only facility that our housing office has a contract with. We have a CG Housing Officer located at the SSD which assists the family with government leased. Civilian housing here is incredibly expensive. Two bedrooms run approx.
Duplexes run just as much as single family homes.
Most homes are built into the side of hills - flat lots are rare unless you are downtown or near the mall. If you do come to Chattanooga I would suggest requesting housing outside the City Limits because of the schools. Unfortunately the further from the city the more expensive the rent. There is plenty to choose from in all price ranges. Pre-Schools are also abundant.
