While sometimes there are some fun questions from Chatta-newcomers about how to pronounce “Ool-te-wah”, one thing there’s never uncertainty about is that it’s a great place to live!

Just 15 minutes from the TN/GA split, according to the TDOT signs, it’s been a convenient place to call “home” for many Pratt customers throughout the years. With convenience to our mid-size city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Ooltewah still offers a charm of its own. Just 10 minutes from Hamilton Place mall, the local shopping mecca, Ooltewah itself boasts a nice Publix shopping center and the ever-popular Cambridge Square, a local town square featuring local restaurants and boutiques. Many of our best-loved communities throughout the last five years have been tucked away just across the interstate for little more rural lifestyle that doesn’t sacrifice style or convenience.

The Pratt Home Builders Ooltewah community-to-watch in 2024 is Bainbridge. Just 5 minutes from Interstate access, Bainbridge is nestled between I-75 and Ooltewah-Georgetown Road for ultimate convenience. Nice and level, it’s a great place for walking with sidewalks lining both sides of the streets. The pool area will feature a pool house and plenty of lounge chairs to enjoy time with family and friends. Bainbridge offers spacious homesites that accomodate many of Pratt’s best loved home plans, thoughtfully designed by our in-house team of construction and design experts.

At this stage, Pratt customers can enjoy choosing between two options: Pre-sales, which give the opportunity to select homesite, home plan and all the finishes of your beautiful new construction home OR designer market homes, which are thoughtfully-designed by our in-house team so they offer stylish finishes without the longer timeline or having to make all the decisions.

When it comes to Pre-Sales, here are some of our beloved home plans we expect to be popular in this community in 2024:

• Some of our favorite plans include The Emory, which can be built on many homesites at Bainbridge. The Emory is a spacious ranch home with an open kitchen and living room, with plenty of natural light along the back of the home. For customers who are looking to have everything on one level, but who still may need some extra space, this home plan is a great blend of features.
• Another popular favorite home plan that can be built in Bainbridge is the Peachtree. The Peachtree is a two-story home with great curb appeal, offering a dining area we’ve seen many customers use as a library, office, or sitting room. It also has a spacious guest room on the main with a full bath, perfect for a teenage suite or giving visiting parents a place of their own on the first floor. A beautiful staircase brings residents to a showstopping main bedroom and spacious bathroom, complete with two additional bedrooms and the option of adding a bonus room.
• Another great option to build at Bainbridge is the Waterford home plan, which is a main bedroom down home plan with remaining bedrooms upstairs. With a dedicated home office, dining room, and open kitchen and living room, this home plan offers style and space on the main level, with cozy additional bedrooms tucked upstairs.

For customers who prefer to leave the details to the experts, our designer market homes are a great option to for a less-involved experience for customers who need a quick-move-in or who may prefer to leave details to our experts.
