Join the Opening List →Collegedale grew up around a school. Southern Adventist University moved to a farm here in 1916, the city incorporated in 1968, and most of its homes are far newer than either date. TotalCare Cleaning will service Collegedale as part of the Chattanooga area, and this page covers what its homes tend to need.
Southern Adventist University moved to the Thatcher farm in 1916 and took its current name in 1996. For the 2025 to 2026 school year it counts 3,008 undergraduates and 352 graduate students on a 1,300 acre campus with nearly 40 miles of hiking and biking trails.
Collegedale itself incorporated on December 1, 1968, under a manager-commission charter, and the state lists its population estimate at 11,499. The unincorporated community of Ooltewah sits right next to it.
Collegedale's housing is young. Census estimates put the median build year at 2005, and about 37.6 percent of units were built from 2010 to 2019. That is a generation newer than the city of Chattanooga, where the median is 1976.
Newer homes get dirty in their own way. The first months in a new build can leave fine drywall dust in vents, on top of door frames and in window tracks, and modern cabinets and large glass showers show smudges and water spots quickly. Cleaners do not remove construction leftovers, so the builder's debris needs to be gone before a first visit.
About 56 percent of occupied homes in Collegedale are rented, a higher share than in the city of Chattanooga. Lease turnovers are frequent, and a Moving Clean, which covers the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets, is the usual choice between tenants.
With nearly 40 miles of trails on the university campus, dirt and mud come home on shoes, bikes and dogs. The area's weather adds to it: about 55 inches of precipitation in a normal year, with no truly dry month. Store bikes and muddy shoes in the garage, keep a washable mat inside each door, and give entry floors extra attention in the wet months.
Collegedale Public Works runs a monthly large trash pickup for residents, limited to one pickup truck load, 4 by 8 by 4 feet, per household each month. Before a Moving Clean, or a deep clean after unpacking, use that pickup for old furniture and boxes, since cleaners do not haul large items away from the home.
