Moving to Nashville-Davidson — what should I know?
I got a job offer in Nashville-Davidson, TN and I'm seriously considering the move. I'm coming from a mid-size city. A few questions:
1. Which neighborhoods should I look at for a $1200-1800 budget?
2. How's the commute situation?
3. Is the crime as bad as the stats suggest?
4. Any hidden costs I should know about?
Thanks in advance!

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 8/10.

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

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

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

I'd add that the parks here are amazing for families. Otherwise spot on!

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

Rent tip: look for places in winter. Prices drop and there's more availability.

I work in healthcare and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 1 months.

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

For families, I'd recommend looking at Midtown. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.
