Current Resident: I absolutely love the area we live in! Greenhill is the area between Hermitage and Mount Juliet off of Lebanon Road in Tn. We sit in a position where we fall in Wilson County lines, however, the half of our neighborhood falls in Davidson County lines. We have a lake that is within five minutes driving distance, and 30 minutes walking distance. It's quiet, peaceful, and safe. A police officer lives just two streets over.... Read 18 reviews

Current Resident: Nolensville is apart of the Williamson County School District. The prices of houses in Nolensville have skyrocketed. It is not cheap to live in this area, but if you do decide to move here, there are many good schools nearby. You have Sunset Middle and Elementary. You also have Nolensville Elementary. You Also have Nolensville High school and MillCreek Middle. I would say that things are generally safe around Nolensville. There isn't much diversity in Nolensville. Commute times vary depending on where you are going. But if you take the main road you can get to many local stores and grocery stores. I would recommend living here, only if you can afford it....

Current Resident: My family and I have lived in this neighborhood since 2008. We love the central location, proximity to Farmers Market and most importantly the awesome and low key neighbors. And we just got a Publix less than a mile away! We are not zoned for top rated schools but Metro offers option schools which my children and several of my neighbors go to!... Read 1 review

Current Resident: Thompson's Station is one of the last unspoiled places in middle Tennessee. Local leaders and residents established a plan to preserve parks, farm and ranch land. While developers have been able to obtain land for homesites, the town has limited public utilities. This has tamped down the kind of growth seen in nearby Spring Hill. Spring Hill residents commuting to and from points north cause some traffic problems for Thompson's Station but new interstate exits and arterial connectors, already approved and funded that will help reroute commuter traffic around Thompson's Station. A 6500 seat outdoor consert venue will open this summer built in the limestone quarry used to provide the road bed for I-840. There are plans to host large music events including tour stops for current recording artists. The Town continues to acquire land for parks and with no long term plans for rapid growth, this little green patch may continue to be 'Central Park' for Williamson County.... Read 27 reviews

Current Resident: White House, TN has offered my small family and I the opportunity to live and grow in a small town rich in genuine southern hospitality and family-friendly events. On any given day, I can take my son on a walk along the serene paths of the local Greenway trail, browse the endless stalls of the indoor flea market for hidden treasures, or sip on a warm and decadent vanilla latte while sitting by the fire at the quaint cottage-styled coffee house down the road in Millersville. When scouting the surrounding Nashville neighborhoods for an excellent day trip or looking for a new place to call home, the residents of White House, TN will extend a warm and friendly invitation to come see for yourself why we love it so much here!...

Current Resident: Have you ever driven through a small southern town and admired the horses and fields? My name is Elizabeth Morgan and I live in one of those towns- Spring Hill, Tennessee. There are many things I love about the city of Spring Hill, two of which are the kind people, and the safe neighborhoods. Since I moved here last August, I have found that not only are the residents of Spring Hill polite, they are also kind and hospitable. These people are willing to help give directions to just about anywhere, and are welcoming to newcomers. This was incredibly helpful to me, as moving in the beginning of senior year was scary, but I quickly found that I had nothing to worry about! Another thing I love about Spring Hill is the security of the area. Every time I leave the house, I pass at least one cop car. All the police officers and firefighters in the area are extremely good at their jobs and keep everyone safe. In conclusion, Spring Hill is an amazing place, especially for raising a family....

Current Resident: I recently moved here and I fell in love with the city. I live near the edge of town, where there is a lot of farmland, but I love downtown Franklin as well! Everyone is very friendly. I find out new things about Franklin everyday, whether it be a historical site or just a pretty neighborhood I hadn't seen before. Overall, even though I have only lived here for a few months, I love the city. It's a great place for anyone who wants to have some more space and land, but also be close enough to shopping and restaurants.... Read 254 reviews

Current Resident: Lavergne is a great community to live in. It is very diverse which means there is inclusivity. I wish the Board of Education would add more job/ internship opportunities for schools. It would give students more experience needed for their future and students would possibly have an idea of what a career field is like.... Read 97 reviews

Nearby Resident: Oak hill is just down the road from my current residence. This area of Nashville is outstanding. The neighbors are friendly and the the schools are amazing. There could be a bit of heavy traffic flow during rush hour but I don't blame anyone. It's has easy accesss because of i65 and Franklin pike. The cost of living here may be more than the surrounding areas but it's worth it. I would definitely recommend this neighborhood to anyone interested or planning on moving to Nashville. You'll only be minutes from downtown with is pretty cool. Honestly, I personally wouldn't change anything. Everyone and everything falls in place with this neighborhood. I can't complain....

Current Resident: Hendersonville Tennessee is one of the best communities to live in! Hendersonville also has great parks and greenways to enjoy, an array of shopping and dining options at The Streets of Indian Lake, and many locally owned boutiques and restaurants that will make Hendersonville a must-see during your Tennessee vacation!Hendersonville, famously known as the “city by the lake,” draws that moniker due to its close proximity to Old Hickory Lake, which provides ample opportunity for fishing, boating, kayaking, and other water-related recreation. Many celebrities such as Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Roy Orbison, and Marty Stuart were so drawn to Old Hickory Lake that they settled into homes situated along the lake’s banks. Hendersonville is an amazing place to raise your children!... Read 166 reviews

Current Resident: I've lived in Ridgetop, TN all of my life. For 18 years, I've never experienced or heard tales of any wreckage within the town's community. There have been minor problems with the mayor our police department recently, but it is such a rare seen here in Ridgetop that it made everyone become aware of it. However, aside from this recent relationship issue between the two, Ridgetop has been such a loving home and a great community all of my life. When I look back on my time in Ridgetop 50 years from now, I'll be reminded of the great community and scenery that I grew up knowing and loving. If your new to Nashville, TN, I highly recommend finding a home to live in here in Ridgetop. Couldn't ask for a better town!... Read 14 reviews

Nearby Resident: I have grown up in this town essentially my whole life. I attended and graduated most of my primary education areas here and it was phenomenal. This is very much a growing small town in Tennessee, that will look at anyone with open arms and treat them like family. Several Mom-and-Pop shops, a small variety of different foods and always have jobs for people both blue collars, Entreprenurial, or other. My education from there has been able to keep me on a strong track and relatively well with my initial college career and I would 100% recommend anyone going to this town and experiencing small town life that is not too far from a big city...

Current Resident: I have been a resident of Gallatin for a little over 5 years now and my experience here has been excellent! It is very family friendly, and holds a supportive community. I LOVE the small businesses in The Square of Downtown Gallatin. Shopping could be improved, however, a large mall is only about a 15-20 minute drive, and I believe keeping Gallatin the way it is, will help keep it a small, quite, quaint little town, which I adore....

Former Resident: I was born and raised in Murfreesboro, TN. Lived in Murfreesboro until I was 30 years old. Moved to Robertson County, TN to be closer to my husband’s job. He is from White House. I love Murfeesboro! I went to some of the best schools in Murfreesboro and my parents raised my sister and I there. Murfreesboro has gotten very very big through the years, but it’s still a great place to raise a family. Murfreesboro will always be home to me and I’m so thankful for all the experiences and the great education I received there.... Read 578 reviews

Current Resident: There is a lot to do, even though it isn't a big tourist spot or anything. There's a good selection of parks and natural locations, so hiking is really fun here, especially with the waterfalls and natural swimming locations. The people are generally nice and overall it feels like a safe area. The only thing I can think the fault it for is the spotty road maintenance at times. Pot holes aren't terribly frequent, but it takes a while for road work to be done. There's a light near town that always has a wobbly piece of asphalt in the left turning lane- as in, the asphalt has literal waves in it that people border the lines to avoid driving over. Road work aside, it's a pleasant place to live and visit and I am happy to be here. In more urban/town areas, there is a bit more consideration for walking and foot traffic, but it's a bit spaced out, so driving is definitely a better move.... Read 134 reviews
