Should I move to Edwardsville or stay in Nashville?
Hey everyone, We have two kids and Crime rate is something to consider -Edwardsville sits at 63.9 per 100K. With a population of 26,543, Edwardsville is a smaller city. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up. Has anyone dealt with this? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

I work in hospitality here and the quality of life is solid. The job market for my field is average. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've been living here for 2 years and I'd say I love the pace of life here. The cultural scene is decent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value food scene, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely average and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Lakewood) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Atlanta, be prepared for the culture shock. walkability is completely different here. And Traffic during rush hour is rough.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
