Raising a family in Thompson's Station -thoughts?
OK so The median home value here is around $598,200, which is pretty steep. Average temperature is around 60--F, so the weather is moderate. Household incomes average around $122,139 in Thompson's Station. The unemployment rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Walkable downtown
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Not very walkable
- Few job opportunities in some fields
