Katie Patil and Bo at homeAs more Chattanoogans make the move downtown we wondered, is it worth giving up the white picket fence?

Katie Patil, 50, admits that transitioning to a condo lifestyle two years ago was an adjustment. She recalls feeling a bit claustrophobic in her new two-bedroom, two-bath abode-but not for long.

“I feel really safe,” she says. “Also, I love that I can go to the beach with girlfriends and not worry about a yard. The management company here is excellent, so if there was ever a problem I would know.”
