I would like to see better jobs come into Cookeville, especially for Office, Human Resource type jobs. Its a good place to live but needs more to do for people to enjoy it more. I have lived here in Cookeville all of my life. It is a good place to visit or to reside here especially for those who are wanting to retire. The policeman stay on top of things so that crime does not get out of hand. The schools are very good with great teachers to help their student learn as much as they can. We also have good churches around here for people to attend as they wish. Most of the people are friendly and it has that small town atmosphere going. We have a great mayor who is bringing in things to help build Cookeville up!
Cookeville ,TN is a beautiful place to live. It is a real happening town with tons of things to do. It is a big college town with TTU right down the rd from my home. Cookeville is a very family oriented town and neighbors are like family and help out when in need.We have small little owner operated shops in the square that all work together in the community. It is really a lovely town with all the friendly people coming together. We have beautiful waterfalls all over the place, everywhere you look. We have lost creek falls, which it a little known fall only locals know about, Burgess falls is a great place to take the family to go hiking , and Cummins falls is the spot to be to go swimming. The only thing I would change about this town is add something more for family's to do, have more entertainment, like a family oriented arcade with something for everyone in the family can enjoy. I think, being a close nit town, we need more time with each other.
Cookeville is a happy medium town of affordability, economic growth and small-town field. Conveniently located in the middle of the tri-city area of Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga it has a temperate climate that allows for plenty of outdoor activity at the many waterfalls and caverns it hosts. It also is the home of Tennessee Tech University, an affordable opportunity to encourage continuous education and vocational degrees.
