Our Campus
The Best Place To Retire In Tennessee.

What makes our Signal Mountain campus the ideal retirement location?

• Convenience. From Signal Mountain, it's just a day's drive to more than half the population in the U.S. So it's more than likely that your friends and family won’t have far to travel for a visit.
• Climate. We've got a four-season climate, yet mild winters with temperatures averaging 40° to 50° F.
• Cost of living. Average costs in Chattanooga are below the national average. Food, housing, transportation and housing services are all priced below national averages. In addition, Tennessee offers a number of tax advantages, including no tax on pensions and many types of savings.

Best of all, Alexian Village is just minutes from Chattanooga, TN, one of the most scenic and livable cities in America – and an increasingly popular retirement destination. It's a dream city for active adult living where you can enjoy shopping, dining, cultural events and entertainment, world-class health opportunities, and a wealth of outdoor recreation options ranging from hiking at Signal Point and boating to fishing and bird-watching.

Alexian Village offers the best of two worlds: A mountaintop retreat where you can enjoy a casual, relaxed lifestyle – just a hop, skip and jump to the excitement and attractions of Chattanooga, a Great City by Nature.
