Anyone else noticing rent going up fast in Clarksville? Over the last year, I feel like prices went up at least 10-15%. I'm paying $1215 for a 2BR which feels okay for the area.
Are there any neighborhoods that are still affordable? Thinking about moving to a cheaper area.

Check out the Downtown area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

I've lived in Lakewood for 15 years and it's decent, has its pros and cons.

The job market has been improving lately. Several retail companies moved in recently.

Coming from Atlanta, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are slightly more expensive but housing makes up for it.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is check out the local Facebook groups for neighborhood info. Makes a big difference.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

I'd add that the school system has been improving steadily. Otherwise spot on!

Respectfully disagree about the job market. In my experience, there are good opportunities if you network.
