Woodbine

• Neighborhood in Nashville, TN
• 5

Current Resident: I live in Woodbine, specifically Radnor. We moved out to the suburbs about a year ago and didn't care for it, so we have moved back to the area. For where we work and hang out, the location is awesome. I also believe a home here is a good investment. Every part of town has its rough spots, there was crime even in the suburbs. Know your neighbors. Use common sense. Move to woodbine. The location can't be beat.

Clarksville

• City in Tennessee
• 450

Current Resident: Clarksville is a booming city with lots of growth and even more promise. You can find anything you want in this city and you don't even have to drive very far to get it! From farmland to downtown, you sure can experience it all! The people in Clarksville are kind and helpful, and they don't mind stopping to chat for a minute, even with a complete stranger. There are walking, biking, and jogging trails as well as the river you can visit, and plenty of parks, schools, businesses, and entertainment options. Clarksville has so many unique residential areas, there really is something for everyone based on affordability and taste. The public transportation is amazing. You can get nearly everywhere via the Clarksville Transit System (CTS), and the bus runs between 6a-8p Mon-Fri and even have some Saturday morning and afternoon runs! I couldn't be happier living here in Clarksville, and I'm so glad to call this place home.

Jackson

• Town in Tennessee
• 171

Current Resident: I have lived in a big city my whole life. Moving to Jackson had me a bit skeptical; was i going to like it, was I going to have all the resources of a big city, etc. Well, I have been here 6 month's now and we absolutely love it. They definitely have the access to everything a big city does minus the night life. However, Jackson is between to major cities (Nashville & Memphis) so you can still have that night life, just a distance. Cute little downtown with a few good restaurants, just a laid back quiet atmosphere. I love the cost of living, very reasonable!

Chattanooga

• City in Tennessee
• 436

Current Resident: Chattanooga is a great little city! Always something to do and see. My favorite location is the Northshore. I love looking out over the water on the walking bridge and grabbing a bite somewhere downtown. I love that my campus is in the heart of downtown. We're a short five to fifteen minute drive to everything. Also, I love all the nature and activity Chattanooga has to offer. There are countless hikes, sports events, swimming areas, and more around. Even though Chattanooga is a city, I also love that it is not overly big. There's a lot going on, but it does not feel overwhelming. There are also a lot of great local food options - my favorite is Tony's Pasta Shop. Overall, Chattanooga is an amazing city to live in, and I'm very thankful that I get to call it my home.

You can see the Lorraine Hotel, the Civil Rights Museum, and the Pink Palace. There are also other random places in Memphis that are of historical significance. For all those interested in music, you can always walk around Downtown and hear music from Beale Street. Memphis is a wonderful place!

Murfreesboro

• City in Tennessee
• 429

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!

Current Resident: The city of Covington, Tennessee is very charming. It is a very historic city to people in west Tennessee. It is a very small town where everybody knows everybody. If you grew up in Covington, Tennessee, then it will always be considered home no matter how far you move away. However, the best aspect of Covington is its residents. Everyone is open, friendly, and dependable.

Milan

• Town in Tennessee
• 5

Former Resident: I was a former resident of Milan. I lived there for 22 years, and I truly believe that it is a family friendly town. Milan is like most small towns, in that, everyone grew up together and went to the same schools. The schools are amazing with friendly teachers who truly care about the student and their needs. Th only thing that most would find a problem with is there aren't many options when it comes to restaurants or shopping malls. If you want to live in a town where you would like to raise a family then I truly suggest Milan Tennessee!

Columbia

• Town in Tennessee
• 78

Current Resident: Columbia is a quiet, peaceful town with beautiful scenery. There are beautiful farms and much wildlife, so Columbia is a great place to go hunting and fishing. Columbia encourages an expanding culture, but she is not expanding too quickly, such as big cities like Nashville. She is a sweet country town that can often help you escape the busy life we all live. Towns square is quite modern and is expanding daily. Columbia is stunning, quiet, and expanding. She is a small town within a big city; she is everything our souls need.
