I'm leaning Tennessee because of the low property taxes and I want to be close to the mountains. Nashville is further than I wanted to be from the mountains. I should have said best places in eastern Tennessee.

Yeah Nashville has pretty large hills but no mountains.

A guy I work with is looking at a place around Chattanooga for the same reasons you are, I'll ask him about it Monday.

Blount County, just south of Knoxville has some of the better public schools in the state

Maryville TN. Just outside of Knoxville. Award winning public schools, 20 minutes to the Smokies National park. Lived there 5 years. Had kids in the school system. Might retire there.

Right now is a bad time to move here. There has been a major housing crisis because, apparently, everybody wants to move here at once. One bedroom apartments are going for over $1300 a month. What I paid for my house in 2017 wouldn't even buy a single wide trailer currently. We currently have local residents sleeping in their cars at Walmart because they have been priced out.

Based on your posts you wouldn’t do well in Nashville

And probably can’t afford it if you’re selling somewhere in LA

For East TN - The answer is Blount County as others have mentioned.

Great schools, Airport, Great Smoky mountain National Park, nicest suburb in the Knoxville Metro that's not in Knox county, some of the most beautiful scenery in the South, good food and beer scene for a city it's size. The list goes on.

The housing market is outrageous though due to so many people moving from out of state. No shot I'd buy a house over valued by 150% right now with the uncertainty in the economy and the shitty leadership running the country.

Western Kentucky is very nice and underrated.
I'm sure

It's just that gradient is such a precious commodity when used properly.

im looking to buy land in hohenwald, tn. anyone know the area?

Use to go over there to canoe and fish on the Buffalo River. It's more like rolling hills around there and not highly populated. That damn river is loaded with smallmouth though. I've never seen anything like it.
It's a beautiful river too, clear water, some mild rapids, goes through little canyons, changing to pasture land, then back to canyon.

I lived in Nashville and unless your in the Franklin/Brentwood areas it's not very nice.


Did you never venture to Belle Meade, Green Hills, west Nashville, Franklin Road area, 12 South, Forest Hills, Hillsboro???

All safe great areas BUT expensive. Great areas nonetheless.

Anything east of Knoxville is my utopia. Preferably Sullivan county. Nationally recognized schools.

Try Fayetteville. It is a few miles north of the Alabama state line. Nice little town with friendly people.
