This is a great place to live. My son can ride his bicycle everywhere without fearing that he is going to get attacked or hit by a car, we feel safe going for a walk in our neighborhood and if we forget to lock the door, we don't worry about it. I agree with the guy saying that people calling SM safe and, at the same time, complain about the lack of diversity and not liking conservative people living here, are very amusing, those reasons are why SM is safe and pleasant to live. If you don't want this kind of environment, there is Chattanooga next door, there, you can find plenty of diversity and less conservative views. That's right, I am changing my review too, don't come live here, you won't like it.
Signal Mountain is a great little community. Low crime, great schools. The reviews that talk about how safe it is but then complain about the lack of diversity or how conservative it is are amusing.
Is there night life? Nope. Go to Chattanooga for the night life. Why would you want it here? I say 5 stars for the "night life", which means black sky, lots of stars, and peace and quiet.
The out of state guy complaining about the "crap housing" because of the prices...well guess who drove them up? All the out of state folks moving here BECAUSE of the schools and the community. I'm pretty sure your state will take ya back.
Folks flooding Tennessee and Chattanooga in general have driven up housing prices. There's a reason they're moving here.
In fact, I want to change my review of Signal. It's terrible. Stay away. No, really!

Signal is a very safe and family-friendly town. If you are a nature enthusiast, there is ample hiking and trails which makes it a great place for healthy living. However, if you are more into nightlife or having other things to do, signal is severely lacking. The closest place to go to do things would be Chattanooga, which is not a far drive, however many would prefer to be able to stay on the mountain. Public schools are known as quite good compared to others, however many still opt to go to one of the ample private schools in the area. Signal is known to not be very affordable compared to other nearby areas, and it is very hard to find a house for sale. Once a house goes for sale, it is snatched up very quickly most of the time. Signal does not have many job opportunities of its own, but Chattanooga does, which is quite an easy commute with limited traffic most of the time. If you are curious about diversity, Signal is definitely predominately white.
