My husband and I are relocating to Nashville soon and are looking to buy a house likely in East Nashville. A lot of the houses we’ve seen and liked are HPR and attached to another house. Does anyone have experience with attached houses? Is it similar to apartments where it depends on the build and how much you’re able to hear your neighbors? We have dogs who occasionally bark and I don’t want to be a nuisance to new neighbors.

Hi all! I graduate from Vandy this May and intend to live in Nashville from May 2025 till July/August 2027. I’m apartment hunting and would love to hear some personal opinions from folks who have experience renting in Nashville! I’ve been working with Nashville Apartment Locators, and they told me I’m a bit early, but I’d rather get researching now. :)

Some complexes that have caught my eye are:

1. Western Hills
2. The Nelson
3. Pearl Flats
4. Avana Lexington

I would love to hear of any opinions regarding these complexes too!

Preferences: 1 bed, 1 bath Rent: <$1,300/month (trying to maintain less than $1,500/month including utilities) Safe neighborhood Washer/dryer in-unit or connections Dishwasher and full kitchen Parking Electric vehicle charging (if possible)

Thank you all for your help in this journey! It’ll be my first time officially renting as I’ve been in a dorm the past 3.5 years. Despite my lack of rental history, I’ve got great credit, so hopefully not all of my applications will be denied lol

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to move to Nashville with my small camper (Heartland Edge M18) but finding an affordable spot to live has been tough—campground prices are ridiculous. Has anyone had any luck finding livable spaces for a camper? Or a property that I can $$$$$$ pay for space!!! Open to any suggestions!

Thanks!

I recently spent 6 months in Nashville (Nations, West End areas) for work and will be relocating at the beginning of the year permanently. Looking for reviews & recommendations a little further west of the city - Charlotte Park, Beacon Sq, Hillwood areas. Any apartment complex’s that are recommended or to stay away from? Thanks!!

Basically the title, I am moving in January and am a bit stuck deciding between a 700 square feet one bedroom at Margaux with one month free, or a 630 studio in skyhouse with 2 months free. Any other suggestions and experiences are welcomed.

My husband and I are thinking of moving to Nashville and starting a family in the near future. We are looking for a homey neighborhood with families. Would appreciate any insight about these areas:

Belle Meade Belle Meade Highlands (is this considered a separate area) Forest Hills Green Hills Upper Franklin Belmont Hillsboro

Thank you so much!

My husband and I are looking for a house in East Nashville or points north or west. At least 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. We don't need updated aesthetics at all! If you're selling or know someone who is or will be, please let me know. We have a realtor working with us, but I wanted to give this a try too. Thanks

Hi! Looking to move into Nashville with my boyfriend in Jan. We are in our late 20s and are looking for somewhere walkable that isn't right downtown. Main concerns are safety and walkability. We walk our dog 2-4 miles per day and want to be able to walk to cafes, restaurants, bars, grocery store, etc. Originally looked in East Nashville but the apartment complexes we were looking at had some concerning reviews re: safety. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I will be moving to nashville in the first week of December. I am looking for a temporary shared apartment (probably 1-2 months). Budget between 500-800$. Please help with any leads, Thanks!

Sup Nashvillains? My wife and I are relocating to Nashville soon from a house in Virginia. We have visited before as tourists, but don't know anything about living there.

I'm trying to figure out the best placement for us where we can socialize or chill safely at home. Our monthly budget for rent is around $3k and we'd like 1800+sqft to fit our furniture and things. We're in our mid-20's and have mostly been surrounded by people further along in life that have kids. I'd like to change that for us so she and I can enjoy where we live and discover friends with shared interests.

She enjoys entertainment and interior design, I like to hike/hunt and workout. We both go out usually as a couple, so somewhere close to the city with access to running trails or parks is preferred. My new manager suggested that taking a morning bus from Nissan Stadium is the most efficient commute to our office downtown. Not sure how exactly that will work - just that I don't want to be stuck in traffic for very long. My commute time here has been 12 hours a week so far, I would like to cut that in half at least. She works remotely, so the commute aspect is a non-issue for her.

Thanks in advance for the help and advice! :)

I have to option to move to another state from California and save a considerable amount in taxes.

My last two options are Nashville and Vegas.

I visited Nashville last year for two weeks and loved it. Most people were genuine and friendly. I like the country music and things around it.

I really don’t care much about Vegas but it’s convenient only 4 hours drive and also I have family there.

I don’t know anyone in Nashville.

I love walkable neighborhoods that I shop and dine on foot. Does Nashville have such neighborhoods?

I also love to hike and ski but I only saw hills when I was there and I don’t think local skiing would be an option.

I have a lot more questions but I’ll suffice to ask should I try it for a year? Beside the facts I mentioned what would be the other advantages of going to Vegas instead of?

Is this a good or bad investment? I understand that this part of the city isn’t exactly Green Hills, but is it a decent place? It’s an investment property so mainly I just want to make sure that my tenants won’t feel uncomfortable living here because I don’t want to have to deal with finding new tenants because of crime issues and things like that. Is this area ripe for appreciation? For context I grew up in the area but moved in 2005 so I’ve heard the neighborhood has changed a lot since since then and obviously I’m not in Nashville to be able to scope out the vibe of that particular complex.

Currently live in East Atlanta which is very hipstery I’d say with parks and walkable shops. But would also be very happy living a little out (maybe 30 min max). We both grew up very rural and wouldn’t mind that either.

Salary is around 240k. Any suggestions of neighborhoods to look at? Preferably where we could afford a single family home. Thank you!

Hello! I’m planning on moving to Nashville in a year from now. Any recommendations on some safe and affordable neighborhoods for a late 20s female? I don’t mind staying somewhere that is 20-30 minutes away from the fun stuff.

Hi! I’ll be working downtown Nashville. 34 year old female, my husband is 35, and we have a toddler. What areas would you suggest? I hear Murfreesboro is nice with awesome schools but are there any places closer to downtown that have good schools too?

Thinking about moving to Nashville for work, trying to budget everything out. I thought I made a decent amount until I put everything on paper. Anyone know if $1750 after all bills (rent, car, etc) are paid is enough to live comfortably on here? (Food, gas, going out, etc)

Hi All, My wife and I are considering a purchase in Glencliff, in a townhome development called Noble Place. We really like the development, but don't know much about the surrounding area - relocating from out of state. Any input would be really appreciated! Hoping to gain some insight on local shopping, convenience, thought on the neighborhood and how the community surrounding is developing.

In very early stages for potential relocation. Any recommendations for this home builder? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, Long story short, i’m 23 and moving from Ireland to Tennessee within the next year. I just need help / advice with a few things. I am really worried about making friends / meeting people is there any particular or reccomended groups or clubs to join or things to do? Also I am not a big city girl, i come from a tiny town in ireland, I would prefer to live in the suburbs or further out of the city - any recommendations of good areas that i could still have reasonably easy access to city and country life?

Thanks!

From Atlanta, which I love, but I recently accepted a job offer in Nashville and will be coming to tour apartments on Saturday. Right now I'm considering The Gulch or Germantown but would really appreciate any recommendations/perspective.

My budget is $3k/mo and I would really like somewhere around other young people, moderately walkable, near restaurants, bars, grocery, gym etc... want to make it as easy as possible to make new friends and enjoy my new city.

So far I'm planning to tour Pullman Gulch and Neuhoff Residences in Germantown.

Thank you!! 🙏

Some apartments I'm planning to tour are

Mid 40's couple, friendly, no kids, have one old Pug furbaby, like to bike ride and listen to music, play board games and watch movies. He is a tech nerd, works from home, has a classic racing Ford truck, likes to cook and 3D print stuff. She loves animals, houseplants, tattoos, country music, thrifting, crafting and baking. What's the best location for them in your beautiful city? Thank you!

We are supposed to move for my job by the end of the year. As a woman, I'm terrified of moving to TN with a completely republican congress due to the shit show healthcare is going to be. I know Nashville leans a little more blue, but is it enough? I can deal with southern politics, I grew up in rural NC but don't know what the next few years are going to look like.

I’m planning on a temporary move to Nashville next year (for personal reasons)

Any recommendations on how to find a reliable place that would be available month by month? I’ve researched a decent amount online but I’m posting on here to see what others would recommend.

Thanks.

Any opinions on the area ?… I am going to be working at the Nashville airport and the houses look better and cheaper in La Vergne. Moving from Tx

Hello, I am relocating to Nashville in two months from Houston, Texas. I will be working at the airport. I just wanted to know what are the good suburb neighborhoods around the airport to rent in ? (Would like to rent a house)

This a repost from the Nashville sub. I’ve lived in a lovely Colorado college town for 40 years. It’s changed a lot in the past few. Plus, miss my childhood friends. Thoughts on how Nashville has changed?

I've lived all over the country, am currently in Tampa Bay, completely over hurricanes and thinking of moving to the Nashville area. I'll have almost $200,000 to put down on a house but want to keep my expenses very low. Have just begun looking at properties under $250,000 and seem to be seeing that I'll have to live 30-45 minutes drive outside of downtown (bummer). Ideally I would live 15 minutes away on a .5 acre lot but it seems highly doubtful. I must have a house so I can make music in my home studio.

Are there areas that I should focus on? Any thoughts much appreciated!

P.S. I've lived in Detroit, Boston, Hollywood CA and Tampa. I plan on settling down forever on this next move.

Hi, I am a Latina of Dominican decent, and my husband and I are considering a move to Nashville with our 3 month old daughter.

We are curious if this is a city where we can still find pieces of our culture so that our daughter can grow up with it. We will be living away from all friends and family, so we'll really need to make a big effort for our daughter.

For example, can I find any good dance schools for bachata and merengue dancing? I googled and found what seems to be an okay salsa school, but as Dominicans, our culture is really all about bachata and merengue. My husband and I actually aren't proficient in our cultural dances ourselves and would like to get better along with teaching our daughter.

What about good latin restaurants that serve caribbean food, such as Cuban/Puerto Rican/Dominican food (NOT Mexican food, which is COMPLETELY different)?

Am I even able to find plantains in the grocery stores?

Any good latin dance clubs?

As for the music scene, is it just all country music, or is there a good community for latin music?

What areas have the best schools?

Thank you so much in advance!

I know I will get grilled for this but I recently experienced your city and am seriously considering moving there. I just started a new remote tech job so location is flexible and Nashville cost of living seems to fit. When I drove through the city while on a road trip last week it looked very lively and the weather was nice.

How is Nashville for late 30s people who hate country music ?

Update: thanks for the replies. Decided not to move there.
