MLK District

Bordered by Third Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard to the North and South, and by Georgia Avenue and Central Avenue to the West and East, this historic neighborhood includes many restored turn of the century homes in the Fortwood district near the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Older apartment buildings with historic character also flank UTC, especially closer to Georgia Avenue. In addition, newer homes occupy a best-kept secret pocket neighborhood along Eighth Street. College students, young professionals as well as young families thrive in this well-established neighborhood.
