5 Pros and 6 CONS of Living In Nashville Tennessee in 2023

What questions do you have about living in Nashville that we haven’t yet addressed?

Can we do a zoom call. please??

Hows the dating for people in their 20s and 30s? I hear different things

Nashville traffic is not bad comparing to Washington DC.

What a ridiculous sales tax system. How much sale tax do you pay if you buy an online product and have it shipped direct from China?

Nashville traffic ain’t shit

Some idiots scammed me for $10k. I asked FBI helped And the idiot location is in this state. No wonder. No job? Are the people in Tennessee is lack of job or the minimum wage is low???

And what about Tennessee ridge?

Do yall get alot of tornadoes out there???

I wonder how the hand full of states justify charging tax on food. Something required to survive just doesn't sound reasonable. Alabama is worse at full sales tax rate. If a tax holiday has to be given than probably something is off. Thanks for the video.

Tennessee does not care about cost of living. The costs are rising but yet refuse to pay a livable pay. I commute from ATL to Tennessee 4 days a week.

Middle Tennessee is great for wealthy people. With no state income tax and a high sales tax rate poor people pay a much higher percentage of their income towards tax than the wealthy do to fund the state.

Nashville is a dump. Extremely high crime.

So based!

Nashville area used to be a great inexpensive place to live... now its just another expensive place to live... take your pick where u want to blow your whole paycheck at... sigh... smh...

Why are the taxes so high? I Jesus funded everything you just have to ask. I guess all those mega churches take it back from him and don't pay their fair share.😂

Ça à l'air d'être une belle ville

I am pretty sure Nashville as a whole is a great place to live. That downtown on friday and saturday night most notably the Kid rock and the Luke 32 area is where the "party" happens. Its definitely something to see and experience. Lots of pretty ladies but sadly it isn't the scene for everybody. These pretty ladies are looking to be with their girlfriends and get hit on by cowboys. For people that are curious about Nashville for the party remember it is the most honky tonk place in USA. If you aren't into country music or into that honky tonk feel which can feel really niche or clicky; You can skip this one and move onto the next party city. If you are into it, this place might just be heaven for you.

Thank you, I love Nashville and Middle Tennessee. We just listed our house in Smyrna--,just 20 miles SE of Nashville. The home is 2400 square feet, all brick, 2 car garage and the library and park are both down the street, as well as one of the top magnet schools--Thurman Francis Magnet School. Its the best neighborhood in Smyrna. We just reduced it to 429K, call me if anyone may be interested 615-525-3198.

I’m from Nashville born and raised and a lot of these channels are going to sugarcoat what it’s like living in Nashville. I will tell you never let your guard down because it can be very dangerous. Nashville can be segregated as well. I think it’s funny when transplants and tourists think they know more about Nashville than us actually natives and they all sound stupid. We need more and better infrastructure in the city due to all of the growth.

Traffic? Omg I'm from Boston, you ain't seen traffic til you've been in a Boston rush hour, it's like a horror movie. Many people just dump their cars and get mopeds or walk. Honestly you will get to your destination faster on foot than in a car during rush hour. It is literally like sitting in a parking lot with your car running for 3 hours. I doubt Nashville traffic is anywhere near that

Your area sounds pretty darn good to me. Im in Minnesota/Wisconsin. Winter is below zero a good chunk of the season. 12"-16" of snow in ONE dumping is totally normal...multiple times. Summer is 80s and 90s and we get close to 100 pretty often. Humidity can be atrocious. We have state taxes And sales tax of around 8%. My property tax is right about $4000 a year.

Might have to consider moving your direction. Im very tired of winter

Why the one eye symbolism in your thumbnail photo?

This was a helpful video. I am looking to move in Dec of 2023 for work. But I still a little lost of where to live.

I moved to Nashville in 2012 after having spent 11 years hear I am looking to move away for the following reasons.

When I moved here you could get anywhere in a reasonable about of time 30 min, that is no longer the case. Rush hour is from 6:00am-9:00am and 4:00pm - to 7:00pm. (Not joking) Nashville is the "it city" and that sounds great until you realize every weekend a massive event is going on downtown every weekend all year around, which equals more traffic on the weekends. You seriously cannot navigate here our roadways haven't accomidated the explosive growth and tourism over the last decade. If you live here and have a 9-5 you will likely spend 2hrs a day in traffic or more depending on how many wrecks happen or road closures their are that day. I live 15 min from where I work it's 50 minuets each way with traffic.

Another reason I'm looking to move, cost of living. I make 90k a year (that is well above average salary here unless your in a specialized field) , I have no debt other than a small mortgage I bought my home in 2014 (I got it cheap back then). Middle TN has become so expensive you literally bleed 100$ bills everytime you go out to eat or have a drink with friends, it is the equivalent of Manhatten NY prices, no fun. As for the cost of real estate, if you do not have $800,000 to spend your not going to end up in a nice area of town or you are going to end up a half an hour or further outside of the city which leads me to my next point. Brentwood, franklin, murfreesboro, Bellevue, Lebanon, goodlettsville and other surrounding areas have all of the same problems Nashville has. Over the last decade those who wanted to buy homes but could not afford Nashville (in the nice family areas, not the sketchy parts) moved to the surrounding cities. Causing realestate shortages and traffic out the butt, moving a town over is not worth it at this point. I moved to Nashville because when I came here it felt like a nice city in the south I could grow into as an adult and set up a life and family here. 11 years later I cannot wait to get out of here this is not the city I moved to and It is a shame.

Good data but got too long winded, just get to the pros and cons please.

Im gonna reach out to you soon
Im thinkin of possibly relocating from NYC to somewhere decently close to nashville and i would appreciate to pick your brain on my best course of action moving forward

What are some suburban areas?

Want to know the #1 reason people from Texas are moving to Tennessee? Give me a call!

There are way more cons of NOT living in middle Tennessee
1. Taxes……9.75%
2. Rent and home prices are ridiculous
3. IF you have kids you gotta drive between 2 or 4 hours for anything
3 she is right about being land locked
4. The only thing Memphis has is the Memphis Zoo, Nashville has a zoo, but not very good, Chattanooga has the Aquarium and a Zoo, which are pretty cool
5. Weather here frigging sucks
Colder than ya mother in law in the winter, hotter than hell in the summer……Texas is the only state that beats us weather wise
6. IF you don’t have allergies, you’ll get them when you come
7 Over abundance of Mexicans
8. Tennessee passes laws every year, BUT don’t enforce none of them
9. We are an “at will state”…..boss don’t like you…..your fired
To many more to mention
I was Born and raised here, not sure about this woman
