St. Elmo
Victorian streets at the foot of Lookout Mountain.
Nestled at the foot of Lookout Mountain, St. Elmo combines historic homes, independent businesses, mountain scenery, and convenient access to outdoor adventure. It's a neighborhood where visitors can explore charming streets, discover local restaurants, and experience one of Chattanooga's most recognizable attractions.
What makes St. Elmo special
Named after an 1866 novel that compared Lookout Mountain to a castle in Naples, St. Elmo is one of Chattanooga's oldest suburbs and a National Register historic district. Ride the Incline Railway up the mountain, then come back down for barbecue, tacos, and a stroll past porch-lined homes. Mountain trails, Point Park, Ruby Falls, and Rock City are all minutes away.
