#25 Most Diverse Places to Live in Tennessee
Columbia
Current Resident: Columbia is elite in some ways, poor in others.
The good
- Strong culture. There is a distinct vibe to this place. It's not everyone's vibe, but it is distinct from the other Nashville suburban towns that surround it and people live, work, meet, and grow up in this town.
- Strong downtown. If you live here long enough and get out, you will make friends and run into people in all of the different common places people gather. If you know where to go, you can and will meet people
The bad
- A highway straight through downtown. Loud and ugly.
- Entire swathes of lands sold to companies that get little business with huge, empty, unmaintained parking lots. Soulless in many places.
- A lot of money coming in, but where's it going?
The city has potential, but they have to stop building parking lots and selling itself out. No one wants another Spring Hill and no one wants more big box chain stores. Lean into what makes Columbia unique.... Read 96 reviews
