    It's been 3+ years I'm staying at Shallowford. Friendly staff and excellent maintenance people. Had no issues so far. The gym place is pretty neat. Also, this place is at a walkable distance to YMCA.

    5/5 David K. on Nov 23, 2024

    We have lived here for over 2.5 years. Nicole and the the rest of the staff are second to none. The maintenance team are just the same. You send in a request for maintenance and they are on it fast. The grounds are well kept and the pool area is awesome. You are 10 to 15 minutes to anywhere in Chattanooga, Ooltewah, Hixson, Ringgold or Fort O. You can't find a better place to to call home
