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.

Atoka

• Town in Tennessee
• 17 reviews

Current Resident: I moved here almost two years ago from a very heavily populated city and have really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Even though the town is small almost everyone here is very friendly and the town has something going on all the time. I love that. They have events like bbq fest of sorts, movie nights provided, hot chocolate, fake snow, and Santa. There are also a lot of parks with walking trails and a splash pad. The schools are really good. The teachers are great. It has a very community feel.

Brentwood

• Suburb of Nashville, TN
• 115 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Brentwood for over two decades and have had some of my greatest memories here. I'm often on the road during summers and have traveled to many different states over the years. I've been everywhere from California to New York and a dozen states in between but none of them have captured the innermost beauty of this country quite like Tennessee has. Out of all of the cities Tennessee has to offer, none of them strike the perfect balance of urban culture and rural charm the way that Brentwood does.

Spring Hill

• Town in Tennessee
• 124 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.

Mount Juliet

• Suburb of Nashville, TN
• 115 reviews

Current Resident: My experience with Mount Juliet has been very good. I have lived here for 18 years. The whole town full of people are very friendly. No matter what area you live in this town, North or South Mount Juliet, you aren't far from a store or a gas station. The city of Mount Juliet likes to have parades and different events for there community to explore what they have to offer. Along with Mount Juliet being the perfect place to live, it also as a really good location. It is only 30 minutes away from Murfreesboro. It is also less than 20 minutes to Downtown Nashville. Mount Juliet also has a mall that has all the most common along with unique stores in it. It is always growing and expanding everyday. One thing I was would change is how many deer crossing signs. There is not enough deer crossing signs on the back road.

Franklin

• Town in Tennessee
• 198 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.

Oak Ridge

• Town in Tennessee
• 66 reviews

Current Resident: Oak Ridge is a great city. It's a pretty small city, with a beautiful lake and tons of great hiking trails and greenways. Oak Ridge is home to one of the best rowing venues in the nation, and one of the best school systems in the nation. It is conveniently close to Knoxville, Chattanooga, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The weather is also pretty great here; we experience all four seasons and relatively little snow. There are also many job opportunities, with a National Lab and large school district.

Fairview

• Town in Tennessee
• 24 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived here my whole life and I wouldn't change it for the world. Fairview is a very small town; however, it is growing quite rapidly. You will not find better hospitality than in Fairview. Everyone is either related to one another, or they went to school together. My favorite part about Fairview is Friday night football games. Everyone in town coming to cheer on their favorite players. Go yellow jackets!

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!

Middle Valley

• Town in Tennessee
• 7 reviews

Niche User: I've lived here all of my life. I've not experienced any criminal behavior, nor do I know any neighbors that have recently experienced any crime. I've never felt unsafe or in danger in the nineteen years of living here.

I'm glad to live in Hixson and I wouldn't choose to go back and change it if I could.

I've been several places across the country and I see my neighborhood as being mild compared to places like the Washington DC area, Los Angeles, NYC, and other big cities.

Every once in a while, there are new business and neighborhood construction.

Hixson, TN is considered a satellite city of Chattanooga, TN. I work and go to school in Chattanooga, and the commute is almost nothing to get there.

Collierville

• Suburb of Memphis, TN
• 156 reviews

Current Resident: Collierville, Tennessee is a great family-friendly town with lots of opportunity for fun and growth! It is a great alternative for people who want to live near the Memphis area, but don't want any of the crime. The schools are outstanding! Collierville is a fast-growing community with houses and jobs popping up left and right. One of the few downsides to living in Collierville, however, is that the housing market is extremely difficult and it is not unheard of to be put on a wait list. Collierville is also very expensive with an average 3-bedroom house ranging anywhere from $300,000 to $450,000. If you can afford it, Collierville is a lovely community perfect for getting involved and raising a family!

Arlington

Current Resident: I like Arlington due to the school system and the overall small town feel. The local restaurants and shops are always filled with welcoming staff. The town is growing, with more shops and cleaner buildings being implemented. There are plenty of parks to enjoy the nature throughout the city. The school system encourages academic excellence and provides the courses and faculty for students to succeed.
