Slowly but surely, Georgia's portion of Lookout Mountain, a slender, 84-mile-long plateau that runs from Chattanooga, Tenn. to Gadsden, Ala., is making its name known for something more than Rock City and Ruby Falls, two of the South's major tourist attractions.
Georgia's section of the historic mountain is rapidly growing into a huge area of new home developments that offer all of the amenities for elegant indoor and outdoor living. Originally a community of scattered getaway summer homes and a hunting/fishing mecca, the area, like much more of northern Georgia and surrounding mountain states, now offers several high-end communities.
