About St. Elmo

Just at the foot of Lookout Mountain and minutes from Downtown, the St. Elmo community is one of Chattanooga’s oldest suburbs and is known for its historic homes filled with character. Amid the new construction in the area to match its growth, historic homes are also being bought, restored and updated to keep the feel of the neighborhood intact while also meeting the needs of the modern family. Beyond the housing opportunities the area offers, St. Elmo is also a destination for the outdoor enthusiast with its easy access to trails. St. Elmo is home to the Incline Railway, the world’s steepest passenger railway which has been in operation since 1895, and is just a short drive away from attractions like Ruby Falls, a 145-foot-high underground waterfall, and Rock City, a 100-foot walking trail showcasing rock formations, caves, gardens and phenomenal views of the city.
