Home to just under 8,000 residents, Signal Mountain was created as a place for Native Americans to send fire and smoke signals across the Tennessee Valley and later used by the Union Army during the Civil War for communications. Later, wealthy families from Chattanooga used Signal Mountain as a safe haven from the sicknesses and diseases that often passed through the city. Located just 8 miles from dowtown Chattanooga, residents of a Signal Mountain house or apartment for rent can easily commute to work in less than 15 minutes. Because of this proximity, Signal Mountain tends to attract wealthy businesspeople that can afford the expensive and well-kept properties. Once connected to Chattanooga’s downtown district by a streetcar, although the streetcars are no longer in operation, the tracks remain in the streets of Signal Mountain's historic district. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Signal Mountain enjoy exploring Chickamagua & Chattanooga National Park, a few miles south of the city. Signal Mountain Golf & Country Club is equally fun and engaging. Other attractions include Cumberland Trail, Mabbitt Springs, and Signal Point Landmark. A local favorite is a weekly bluegrass music show that is put on every Friday evening for the community. Students in grades K through 12 are served by Signal Mountain’s unique education system that includes 2 elementary schools and a middle/high school, with a second one opening in 2009.
