I’m a high school senior, and graduating from Clarksville High School. Clarksville is often described as the biggest small city ever, or the smallest big city. I truly believe that is a very accurate description. Clarksville has the most up and coming neighborhoods, with record numbers of housing developments in construction. However, on the flip side, Clarksville has record-breaking homicide rates, with numbers going to rival Nashville. Clarksville has some really good restaurants, such as Blackhorse in downtown. There are also some good shopping centers, as well as various entertainment places. Overall, Clarksville isn’t a terrible place to live, but I am choosing to leave as soon as possible.
Clarksville is an amazing place to raise a family. Schools are highly rated and there are plenty of locally owned places and eateries. Homes are afforadable and its only 45 minutes to Nashville! Clarksville is NOT a suburb of Nashville however, it is a town of itself with everything you could need. Clarksville also offers a lot of diversity being home of Ft. Campbell.
I was always told Clarksville is for two types of people: People with kids, and People who've retired. If you don't fall into either of these categories Clarksville will become a city you feel stuck in.
Most job opportunities in Clarksville are Food Service, Retail, Customer Service type positions, which would be fine if they paid a livable wage, but instead many find jobs in Nashville and commute an hour on I-24, and accounting for a slightly lower market value in Clarksville in comparison to Nashville, the cost of commuting an hour every day (not even taking into account the wear and tear on your vehicle traveling nearly 100 miles every work day) makes the monetary difference negligible.
Clarksville is a place you live when you settle. And that's not a bad thing if you just want stability and a growing city environment.
