Clarksville - A college town full of friendly peop
- 5/6/2009
Clarksville hosts Austin Peay University. Has terrific real estate values. Exceptionally friendly people, who have an honest smile when they say hello. We moved here from the east coast when we retired to take advantage of the lower cost of living, and the lower cost of housing compared to the east coast. Clarksville is close to the Fort Campbell Army base in Kentucky, and you can say the war comes home here. Clarksville hosts a festival every year to thank the fighters for our

Clarksville/Ft. Campbell Area
- 4/27/2008
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

Seeking info regarding employment/ "green" employm
- 3/30/2008
I am a single mom looking to relocate, and the dept. of labor stats show the Clarksville unemployment rate to be pretty high; also, from others' comments it appears the pay rate is pretty low. Any hopes for a gal who just wants send her youngest off to college (we're in the Pell grant socioeconomic bracket) and take a weekly hike to rejuvenate? I don't need to make tons of money, but I don't want to starve either. And what about race relations, gangs, drugs, etc? Any comments would be

Army town

Typical Army town, but close to Nashville, STL, and a lot of other cities. Not bad as far as Army towns go, there seem to be less strip bars, but just as many tattoo parlors and lending

2007 One of the Best Real Estate Years in Clarksvi
- 1/31/2008
The national media has tried to convince us of how bad the real estate market is, with all the foreclosures and trouble in the subprime mortgage business, but 2007 will be remembered as one of the best real estate years in Clarksville's history with over 4,000 homes sold.
Fort Campbell is a very important part of our community and we miss them any time they deploy, but unlike the first Gulf War with the uncertainty over the length of deployment, today families tend to stay in Clarksville knowing when their loved one will be home at a given time.
Industry plays a major role in the vitality of our town and I believe we have a robust, mixture of industry, and I'm pleased to see our local political leaders being aggressive in the pursuit of new industry.
With a great relationship with Fort Campbell, a good industrial base, aggressive industrial recruiting, coupled with contained low interest rates and positive recognition nationally such as the

Growing up in California, Clarksville is a huge change. The cost of living out here is so affordable. As a young couple, my husband and I have been able to but a house that I don't think we could ever afford on the West

Seeking more information.

I am considering moving to Clarksville in a few years. I've been checking out the job market, particularly with Tenneessee State government. The wages seem rather low, in some cases comparable to the minimum wage. Is this par for the course in Clarkesville or are there other well paying organizations in the area for college

Weather in Clarksville?
- 3/26/2007
We're looking at places to relocate and are wondering if "big" storms (tornadoes, hurricanes & such) are something to be much concerned about in the Clarksville area?
We read about some tornadoes in the '90's but can't find much else. Thanks in

I've lived in the Clarksville area all my life. I've watched Clarksville grow from 15,000 to over 100,000 people. Clarksville is not perfect, but all in all it's a great place to live, a place you can take pride in calling
