Green Hill

• Suburb of Nashville, TN
• 19

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
• 33

Current Resident: Nolensville has a great small town vibe that everyone knows. The community is very tight knit, but welcoming to outsiders. The town is starting to grow and is full of many opportunities. There is not much in the town, but it is close to lots of shopping and food in towns nearby. The school system is excellent and the teachers get to know the students well. The historic part is not large, but serves as a place for everyone to gather on the weekends. They also have a farmers market that serves the best produce from local farmers.

Atoka

• Town in Tennessee
• 17

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
• 107

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
• 120

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.

For a high school student, there is also lots of community service opportunities and job opportunities alike. The schools here are great as well. Mount Juliet High School is a top ranked school with the academic success to back it up. Overall, MJ as we call it, is a great place to be!

Franklin

• Town in Tennessee

Current Resident: Franklin for me is the nicest town ever, probably because I live here but nothing is missing here. Stores, restaurants, banks, activities...everything that a family needs is here. It is close to the big city of Nashville, about fourty minutes driving and at the same time we have the country side of the town. It is a quite town with low crime, very good for families and childrens. Public schools are very good, and not to far from the residential areas. Good Colleges are dislocated around the State, close to town too. I really love my home town!

Oak Ridge

• Town in Tennessee
• 62

Current Resident: Located in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, Oak Ridge is surrounded by nature's beauty, especially in the fall when Mother Nature puts on her colorful garment! Collegiate rowers from across the nation migrate to scenic Melton Lake to practice and compete on it's nearly perfect waterway. Oak Ridge's schools continue to rank among the best in the nation, as well as provide opportunities for participation in athletic and artistic pursuits. This is a quiet town with a low crime rate where individuals can still walk or jog without fear. While shopping and night life may be limited, Knoxville is a short drive away and can fill that void.

Fairview

• Town in Tennessee
• 20

Current Resident: I’ve lived here for almost 40 years, two thirds of my life. I’ve raised my children here and watched it grow. A city is what you make of it and having moved from a very large city, I had to adjust my expectations, and my life to this slower paced more spread out way of life. Glad I did! If you need restaurants - move to Chicago, diversity - move to New York, no commute - live in Downtown, USA., anonymity - move to LA, night life - New Orleans. If you want a caring, loving and giving sense of community, move to Fairview. It’s quiet, has excellent schools, a beautiful nature park, wonderful close knit neighborhoods, and real people to call true friends. It’s the shortest of commutes to Nashville, Franklin, and Dickson where you can find all kinds of nightlife, restaurants, business opportunities, activities, cultural events, shopping, sports, and history.

White House

• Suburb of Nashville, TN

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

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
• 145

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: Arlington is a very small, very close-knit community. It is very family-friendly and there are many things to do in Arlington for it being such a small town. The school district is very good and one of the best in Shelby county. Plus, it is only a 20 minute drive to get to some of the other neat cities nearby like Bartlett and Cordova.
