Overall, Johnson City is definitely a good place to live if you're attending a public school local to the area or if you're attending ETSU / East Tennessee State University. Admittedly while the social life is sometimes lacking, there are festivals and farmers markets that happen often enough for you to enagage with as well as nearby cities also hosting festivals, events, and parades. Johnson City is also close to Bristol, Knoxville, and Asheville as well which gives you an array of things to do so long as you're willing to travel by car.
It seems like it’s a family town however the pay is very low, crime is pretty bad, the people aren’t very to new people moving here. I moved here with hopes of starting over, and it’s been bad financial decision and emotional. There’s not much to do other than hike, eat, or grocery shop. It does have some college students however overall is pretty conservative and lots of meth heads, robberies and overall depressing.
Johnson City is a wonderful medium sized town with a lot to do! There are plenty of shops, a movie theater, bowling, arcades and more! It's a great place to get an education and start your life. It has an old town feel with a modern edge!
