2019 Best Places to Buy a House in the Nashville AreaAbout this List

Green Hill

• Suburb of Nashville, TN
• 19 reviews

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.

Nolensville

• Suburb of Nashville, TN
• 36 reviews

Current Resident: Nolensville is a great small town with a lot of charm. There are many local businesses bringing in revenue from the town and no influence of large corporations in the town. The town is very family friendly, has great public schools, and overall feels very safe and welcoming. For a middle class family Nolensville is the ideal place to live, just close enough to Nashville and
Brentwood to where the drive is short, but far enough away to still feel the small town vibes. My only complaint would be that there is only one road going in and out that is one lane in each direction so getting in or out during rush hour is near impossible. Overall Nolensville is a great place to live.

Brentwood

• Suburb of Nashville, TN
• 112 reviews

Current Resident: I lived here for almost 10 years and I've always enjoyed the quiet environment. The town itself is a mix of suburbia and chic. I made some really close friends here, but I've never considered it home even after all these years. People around here more often than not are making six figures or their parents do, and it shows. I've probably run into about 4 or 5 people in Destin, Florida that live in or around Brentwood. You can't even go into a school bus without finding some sixth or seventh grader wielding the latest Apple product or expensive clothes. If I could sum up Brentwood High in three words, I'd say, "God, ganja, and grades."

Spring Hill

• Town in Tennessee
• 121 reviews

Current Resident: Spring Hill is a very clean and respectable town. Houses are being built everywhere and new residents are flooding in. This town is constantly growing and becoming better, schools are being built and neighborhoods are being established. New restaurants are being added and everything seems to be booming. It is more of a higher end city. It’s not necessarily Rich, but most families living here are upper middle class. The schools are good. The worst part about Spring Hill though is the traffic. Absolutely terrible. As of now there’s only one main road going through the entire city so 5 o’clock rush hour is absolutely insane. But they are working on fixing that problem.

Franklin

• Town in Tennessee
• 195 reviews

Current Resident: The town is very friendly and has lots to do! The public schools are some of the best. Most schools are new or being re modeled, and the teachers are always being trained in new technology. Franklin is also very family friendly. There are always festivals for families in downtown and lots of parks. There are also plenty of job opportunities due to the booming economy. Many large companies are placing their corporate office here and there are many restaurants and stores to get jobs at as well. The night life isn't as big in Franklin; however, Nashville is only 20 minutes away. Real-estate is constantly growing. There are thousands of huge developments being built each day. Commute is not long you are between 10 and 30 minutes from anywhere you may need.

White House

• Suburb of Nashville, TN
• 34 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!

Oak Hill

• Suburb of Nashville, TN
• 2 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.

Smyrna

• Suburb of Nashville, TN
• 157 reviews

Current Resident: Smyrna is a great place to live especially because you're only thirty minutes away from Nashville and fifteen minutes away from Murfreesboro. Population is diverse and people are kind. Traffic is not a lot either plus there are many jobs available especially because there are stores building!

Hendersonville

• Suburb of Nashville, TN
• 134 reviews

Current Resident: The town is very friendly and features a large population of wonderful, diverse people. Hendersonville, Tennessee is also home to some of the best schools in the state boasting some of the best scores around. With these schools comes the best sports programs in the state, hosting homes to champions of all sports ranging from tennis to ice hockey. Another beautiful part of this town is it’s plentiful shopping centers. Hendersonville alone is home to 4 different shopping centers and plenty of strip malls. Countering these malls are range of parks and greenways for the adventurous type of people. However, real estate is closing fast so it is necessary to move soon if thinking about it.

Murfreesboro

• City in Tennessee
• 461 reviews

Current Resident: This city has some of the most generous and kind-hearted citizens. Every store and home is full of heartfelt love and enthusiasm for bettering the community. The roads are always well kept and the law enforcement is fair and just. There is hardly ever any litter on the side of the road and volunteers help to clean up if there is. No other city that I have ever visited offers the same level of comfort and hospitality that Murfreesboro does. However, because of its recent growth in both population and construction, traffic has become a slight annoyance for everyday commuters. Overall an incredible place to live!

Germantown

• Neighborhood in Nashville, TN
• 3 reviews

Nearby Resident: Definitely the nicest neighborhood north of Downtown. A lot of restaurants and things to do. The Nashville Sounds our Baseball team have their stadium in Germantown. Its a neighborhood for young professionals. The public schools are poor so this wouldn't be a place to raise a family...

Wedgewood/Houston

• Neighborhood in Nashville, TN
• 2 reviews

Current Resident: I love wedgewood-houston! It's a 7-minute drive to downtown or 15 mins across the bridge to East. There are tons of art gallery's, coffee shops, and bars all within walking distance. I've lived in Green Hills and East Nashville, and WH is by far my favorite place I've lived here. There is tall-and-skinny development happening, unfortunately, but most streets that haven't been completely gentrified yet remain charming!

Gallatin

Current Resident: Gallatin is rated the nicest town in America by Reader's Digest- and for a good reason! When I moved here about four years ago, I couldn't help but to fall in love with the kindness and manners that everyone seemed to possess! There are plenty of restaurants and shopping places around, and the town just keeps on growing! Gallatin's town square is an amazing historic area filled with local businesses! This is an amazing town overall.

Current Resident: I love that on a typical day I will see my neighbors running by with their dogs and/or strollers with their children, couples walking up the street to Red Bicycle to get a cup of coffee, or enjoying meal with the sweetest man in the world, Alphonso, at his restaurant, Big Al's Deli at the end of the block! We are a social community and I know the majority of my neighbors on a first name basis. We are also a front-porch neighborhood and I love that about us! All in all, we are a diverse urban community filled with all sorts of types of different families in the Capitol District of downtown Nashville!
