Clarksville, Tennessee SperlingViews

We moved to Clarksville in 1992 when my husband was selected to stand up 526 Support Batallion. At that time they were converting Discom to forward support batallions. We loved the area and decided to retire in this area. I have been doing Real Estate since 1988 starting in Northern Virginia and then moving to Ft. Stewart, GA and finally to Clarksville/Ft. Campbell area. We had planned to retire in Northern Virginia however after moving to Clarksville we realized there would be a better quality of life in Clarksville to raise our kids, cost of living and housing is very reasonable, if you are retired military you are close to military facilities, there is not a state tax and if you need more than what Clarksville offers Nashville is only an hour away. The spring and fall here are absolutely gorgeous compared to other areas we have lived. Clarksville is a large city with a population over 140000 to date and still growing however it has a small time feel. It is easy to get involved in the community and make a difference. I also tell people because there is still so much room for growth here it is a great place to start your own business.
