Welcome to Wellesley – Where Lifestyle Meets Location

Imagine waking up with the option to hike a scenic trail, paddleboard across a tranquil lake, and, by evening, enjoy a live performance at the newly renovated Tivoli Theatre or dine at the iconic Chattanooga Choo Choo. At Wellesley, this lifestyle isn’t a dream—it’s your everyday reality.

Perfectly situated in the charming town of Collegedale in Ooltewah, Tennessee, Wellesley offers the best of both worlds: peaceful suburban living with quick access to the vibrant culture and outdoor adventures of the greater Chattanooga area. Whether you're drawn to hiking, fishing, biking, spelunking, or exploring historical and cultural attractions, it’s all just a short drive away.

Just minutes from your doorstep, The Commons offers a community hub filled with family-friendly activities: an open-air farmer’s market, event center, greenways, picnic areas, seasonal festivals, and the impressive Imagination Station playground. For those who love to shop or dine, Hamilton Place Mall and numerous local restaurants are just 12 minutes down the road.

Wellesley is also conveniently located near major employers such as Volkswagen Chattanooga and the Amazon Fulfillment Center, both situated just outside Enterprise South Nature Park, combining career opportunity with natural beauty.

Right at home, Wellesley offers an inviting neighborhood atmosphere. Sidewalk-lined streets encourage evening strolls, jogs, and friendly waves from neighbors. Our members-only pool and community pavilion provide the perfect setting for relaxing or connecting with friends and family.

Families love Wellesley for its safe, welcoming environment. With numerous cul-de-sacs, children have plenty of space to play, and they attend excellent schools—including Wolftever Creek Elementary, Ooltewah Middle, and Ooltewah High School, which features the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The area also offers a variety of top-rated private schools.
