Best places to live in Tennessee?

Looking to relocate my family, and TN is on our list of states we’re considering.

We have young kids and would prefer a rural area, but still reasonably close to civilization. Somewhere in the 5-25 acres range for property size would be preferred, but we’re open to pretty much whatever.

What areas of the state should we be looking into?

Any major pros or cons to living in TN that you feel are worth mentioning?

Holocaust denial is illegal in over 18 countries. if an organized killing of jews happened so definitely, why would people need to serve prison sentences for questioning it?

TX is on our list as well.

Seems a bit riskier though. We definitely want to move to a state that has an extremely low chance of turning blue in the future.

Not really sure if TX will be able to hold on for much longer.

Valid point. Hoping that they can resist the influx of new voters.

Any place on the outskirts of Nashville or Knoxville will suit your needs. TN is my home state and I always liked living in the Fairview/Bon Aqua area the most.

Grew up in Nashville from 3-22 years old (besides 2 years in Johnson City for college). Heres a basic summary:

Brentwood/Franklin/Belle Meade:
Prob the most wealthy area in TN. Safe to live, mostly right-wingers, good schools (public & private), suburb. Teens here are *******s with money. Strict parents causes these kids to become re-tards when away from parents sight.

Green Hills:
Hipster area, lots of rich folks here. Generally left-wing area (worked at the YMCA for 4 years). A bit more "city vibe", but not quite downtown.

Antioch: Really hit or miss here. Some areas are solid, some are ghetto af. Usually the closer it is to Brentwood, the better it is.

Murfreesboro: Unless your going to MTSU, avoid here. Went to MTSU for 2 years. Nothing to see or do outside the school. And its pretty ghetto.

Bellevue: Solid suburb area.

Downtown: Not sure why anyone would want to live downtown. Parking is available at all times and inexpensive compared to other large cities.

Haven't lived in Nashville since 2017 tho. Take advice with a grain of salt

Neither my wife nor myself have ever voted Democrat in any election, national or local. Relax man, not everyone is your enemy.

Right on, thanks. I’ll start looking at properties in those areas.

Exactly the type of info I was looking for. Thanks man.

Brentwood/Franklin/Bell Meade type are is probably what we’d be aiming for, assuming that it’s possible to find a somewhat secluded chunk of acreage there.

I was born under the big sky, but TN probably has a lot milder climate than TX.

In OK there is a nice looking town north of Tulsa:

https://www.bestplaces.net/city/oklahoma/owasso

The NW corner of AR could be a maybe; Fayetteville and such.

https://www.niche.com/places-to-live...ville-ar-area/

Surprised a little that no one mentioned Gatlinburg, TN since you said you want to be rural. There was a miscer who was in the process of building some cabins on acreage in that area. I was curious about Clarksville, TN and did a drive through...one big busy road with a lot of traffic and businesses is what I saw, but could be fine if you plan to live outside it.

https://clarksvillenow.com/local/cla...oney-magazine/

TX has extreme weather, but a lot to offer in jobs and attractions if you can afford the property taxes and the currently inflated real estate prices.

You might really like the College Station area, though it isn't cheap at all. Super conservative area that has a lot of newer development:

https://livability.com/best-places/t...ollege-station

West of Fort Worth around Weatherford could be good...growing area that will grow even more if they get that new electric car mfr. west of the city. FW has been dependably conservative for decades and west of there is more conservative:

Appreciate the info.

OK is still probably my first choice, with TN coming in second. I’ve had a couple of coworkers mention the Gatlinburg area too, I’ll check it out.

Never heard of Owasso, but that website listed one of the cons being “violent crime rate”. Sounds sketchy lol.

I really like the state of Texas, I just can’t get past the idea that it’ll turn blue in the near future. I’d hate to uproot my family just to wind up in another blue state. Ultimately, one of the goals of us moving is to avoid liberal policies.

When's the last time you were in Gatlinburg? I used to love that place when I was a kid and we even had a cabin in Sevierville. The last time I went it was truly one of the grossest things I've ever seen. Nobody on the streets was less than 350lbs and they all just waddled from breakfast food shop to dessert shop and back again. It was so painful to see what that place has turned into. It was my wife's first and only time visiting there and she said she'll never go back there under any circumstances. She usually has more of a sympathetic approach for the morbidly obese but it was just too much even for her

We typically go at least once per year. It's pretty touristy. Some of my family members are probably contributing to that obesity stat tbh lmaoo

Stay away from the major cities in TN...we're talking murder central. Memphis is having a record murder year and they're always near the top of the highest murder rate in the USA.

Nashville has become very inner city and crime ridden. I've driven through Nashville many times and it's awful. And there's many stories like this:

https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news...ied-as-adults/

Two teens accused in a musicians murder have been formally indicted by a grand jury.

Diamond Lewis and Decorrius Wright are each charged with first-degree murder in connection with Kyle Yorlets’ death.

The Nashville Musician was shot and killed at his West Nashville home in 2019.


And Nashville's crime is up significantly:

https://fox17.com/news/local/latest-...ty-partnership

We also spent some time in Chatannooga. There are some real sketchy areas. Off the main area, it's nicer but if you have to work in the city, it's sketchy.

I would look towards eastern TN and also check out the demographics of the city you're looking to move to/nearby. Avoid areas where you have to travel to the cities to do shopping/business/work as they are very ghetto in TN.

USA.com is a great tool for all information on demographics/median income/housing affordability etc.

We're full.

Too many cali commies coming here.


srs though - nashville is cool but way too expensive. More of a vacation for a concert weekend type of thing.

Northeast TN is where it's at. Mountains, rivers, lakes, 4x4 trails...

Definitely the rural area you're looking for.

The only negative is jobs. If you're in health care you'll be okay. But not many career jobs around. Maybe engineering since it's a heavy manufacturing economy around here.


Gatlinburg is cool but no way in hell I'd live there. Living in NE TN you're close enough to it for a day or weekend trip and that's all you need once a year imo.

I mean tons of people are overweight these days but I was fukn shocked at that state of people there. I'm talking fat like the Wal Mart on the poor side of town fat where every other person is on one of the electric scooters. It was super weird to me because it had never been that way before and I had talked it up too much beforehand so I looked like a tard in front of my wife

We also spent some time in Chatannooga. There are some real sketchy areas. Off the main area, it's nicer but if you have to work in the city, it's sketchy.

I would look towards eastern TN and also check out the demographics of the city you're looking to move to/nearby. Avoid areas where you have to travel to the cities to do shopping/business/work as they are very ghetto in TN.

USA.com is a great tool for all information on demographics/median income/housing affordability etc.
Interdasting. I think it’s gonna be hard to find a state that doesn’t have some ghetto areas these days. I get what you’re saying though.

Thanks for the reply, will definitely be focusing our search on the northeast part of the state.

srs though - nashville is cool but way too expensive. More of a vacation for a concert weekend type of thing.

Northeast TN is where it's at. Mountains, rivers, lakes, 4x4 trails...

Definitely the rural area you're looking for.

The only negative is jobs. If you're in health care you'll be okay. But not many career jobs around. Maybe engineering since it's a heavy manufacturing economy around here.

Gatlinburg is cool but no way in hell I'd live there. Living in NE TN you're close enough to it for a day or weekend trip and that's all you need once a year imo.
Yup, looks like the northeast is where it’s at for us. We are all about that rural life. We live fairly rural now, but would prefer to be bordering on recluse status in the future.

If I were to move to Tennessee, it would be the Maryville/Townsend/Wears Valley area.
