White guy from Texas' perspective - 6/5/2018

I'm a little biased as I'm a home grown native guy from Texas who has family and VERY CLOSE ties all across Texas. I'll try to be objective here... Many of the negative reviews are "spot on"... If you come to visit with friends it will be AMAZINGLY FUN!! But living here is VERY, VERY different.... Coming from Texas, I've heard people describe Dallas as "fake", Houston as "trashy", and Austin as not "Southern" and San Antonio as "too ethnic/diverse" Honestly... all of those would describe Nashville IMHO. The state of Tennessee is GORGEOUS and I do admire the Vanderbilt area and surrounding areas But inner city Nashville, in my opinion coming from Texas, is pretty fake, (VERY) trashy, (VERY) not Southern, (WAY TOO) diverse/ethnic. You may come for the weekend and head out on Friday night, ALL DAY Saturday, ALL DAY Sunday and thiink that it's the greatest place on Earth and you'll probably "love" your stay. But that little microcosm does not embody what it's like to "live" in Nashville. There is no neighborhood targeted for young, EDUCATED, AMBITIOUS 25-35 year olds who take care of themselves. That would be Brentwood/Franklin area... which are GREAT, but those are suburbs lol. Not much different than what I would get back home in Texas. Which pretty much leads you to live in a very, LOUD, TOURISTY part of town, a BAD part of town, or by the Vanderbilt area. The Vanderbilt area is great and I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED that part of town but it's honestly kind of "lame" IMHO if you hang out around that area past the age of 25/26; unless you work at Vandy or at the medical center. So pretty much everyone in that demographic lives in Brentwood or Franklin LOL... so it's not really different than "white flight" back home. Let me tell you about this though... It's not "gentrified" here... which means, and i've read this a few times on here, that youo may run into "undesirables" when out at night with friends. This happens quite frequently actually and coming from Texas, where we simply DO NOT ALLOW people like that in to establishments... this was SHOCKING *I believe that this attributes to the INSANELY HIGH crime rate here* The crime is VERY VERY VERY HIGH, especially considering the size of the city... It makes me believe that a lot of the tourists or out of towners come in and cause trouble b/c they have nothing to lose. It's not very appealin when there are OTHER OPTIONS in the country lol Also... the fakeness... this is mostly attributed to the city of Nashville NOT being "southern" at all. Aside from the surrounding area and MAYBE the Vandy area, this is NOT NOT NOT NOT a "Southern" city lol. Austin is more "Southern" than Nashvile and I mean that if you've lived in both you can TELL. Plus, a lot of the good country is "Texas country" so they don't know much about Eli Young, Randy Rogers, George Strait, etc here... it's a big "culture shock" actually LOL. Last but not least, it is NOT a "classy" city. I used to believe that Houston was the epitome of a "trashy" city back in Texas... Oh boy, Nashville takes the cake lol. Besides the smell from the O&G refineries in Houston, Houston is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH classier than Nashville. This is on many levels from day to day life, to how people "carry and present" themselves, to the dating scene, to even the nightlife. If you come here you will know what I mean. I honestly feel that Nashville is much "closer" to Las Vegas than ANY other city LOL. But that would probably be insulting to Las Vegas. This is NOT a "Southern" city. This is NOT EVEN CLOSE to the next "IT" city or Austin This is TRASH. In 12 years... YES, you heard it 12 YEARS!!! They are predicting it will hit 1 million in the metro area... So ....what that means is... In 12 years!!!! It will be what Austin was in its starting/infancy LOL as far as size/people/nightlife/culture That's a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG time!!!!!!

Depends on Priorities and Preferences - 5/15/2018

I own real estate across the country (mostly condos and duplexes) so I have a pretty "well traveled" knowledge when comparing cities you could say. I own property in: Fairfax, VA, Virginia Beach, VA, Charleston, SC, Charlotte, NC, Lexington, KY, Dallas, TX, Houston, TX, Austin, TX, St. Louis, MO, Minneapolis, MN, Madison, WI, Scottsdale, AZ and Nashville, TN I will give an OBJECTIVE standpoint on Nashville or "new Nashville" is what they call it. Tennessee is a LOVELY state and I really enjoy the towns or "other cities" in TN that often get overlooked... Knoxville, Clarksville, Chattanooga, Franklin and Brentwood are lovely cities. "(new) Nashville" is very different than most cities i've ever lived in or have owned property in. If you are upper middle(to upper) class, educated, and criminal/drug free than STAY in/around the West End/Green Hills/Vanderbilt area I cannot say this enough! Many other property owners and real estate moguls/investors have also NOTICED this. I have a friend of mine who's property went up by $600,000 in equity in TWO YEARS in Green Hills. That said, I wonder if it is "over priced" considering there are other options and "move developed" cities in the country (and even nearby). If you are coming to VISIT than I say go all out, take a 9 day(2 weekend) vacation and HAVE FUN! Most of the heavily "touristy areas" will be the Gulch/Broadway/Demonbreun/downtown/etc... those areas. I would estimate that those areas are about 70-80% "tourists" during the weekends. The midtown area is nice, but it doesn't even compare to an "Uptown" area in other cities or comparable "Midtown" areas where there are many high rises, walkable paths, and it's "gentrified". ***I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH that Nashville is NOT GENTRIFIED, OUTside of the West End/Green Hills/Vandy area ***** Thus, you will run into a LOT of undesirables in the city... it's SHOCKING actually. But, this may be due to the fact that it is a very heavily touristy city with many uneducated, low class, poor running around (undesirables) You will also find that there are A LOT of people who have their priorities wrong here... They just want to party 24/7 because they have no education or professional job. It will not be uncommon to see locals in their mid to late 20s, early 30s going out into the late hours(causing a ruckus) of ALL days of the week... including weekdays. So if you don't have any CLASS or an EDUCATION or a REAL JOB, then you will fit right in in Nashville outside of a few spots. East Nashville I would stay VERY VERY VERY far away from! There have been others whom have commented and I would concur.

You'd better like - no, love - country music. - 5/6/2018

Because you can't avoid it. Well, truthfully, there are probably 3 or 4 bars in this city that will play/perform other than country music, but that's about it. BB King's and Rock Bottom come to mind, can't think of any others. Nice city but with a VERY narrow cultural focus.

Also... there's a LOT of FAT people - 5/3/2018

I'm not trying to be "mean" but there's a lot of fat people.... Sure if you're attractive and eligible the DATING SCENE in Nashville (as a guy) is/was easy... But there is or SHOULD BE a lot MORE to a city than just the dating scene

Better to Visit, also depends on type of person - 5/3/2018

So I'm going to be "real" and "genuine" here... The SURROUNDING areas of Nashville are nice... so this review stay STRICTLY for INNER CITY Nashville. If you DO choose to LIVE HERE then I would choose to live in the West End/Green Hills/Vandy area (they're all in roughly the same areas of the city lol) This isn't a city for young professionals, unless you like to settle for less... There are "fun" areas outside of Broadway(which is SUPER SUPER touristy/transient and a place to avoid if you LIVE here). The Gulch, Demonbreun and Midtown are fun areas in the city... BUT... Those areas don't put it at an "advantage" over comparable cities. For example, if you want to live in those areas and COMPARE it to let's say Knox-Henderson/Uptown Dallas... then CHOOSE Dallas. It would be an INSULT to Dallas if you chose those over Dallas. Another example, if you compare those to Uptown Charlotte(only about 7 hours away)... choose Charlotte! I've heard Nashville get compared to Austin quite a bit... but it isn't EVEN CLOSE... not yet at least.... In 5-10 years or so, it MAY BE what Austin is today but it's not even CLOSE to being "gentrified(also used often in Nashville)" as Austin is. The music is EXCELLENT and the food is too! If you come here for the weekend, it's an EXCELLENT WEEKEND GETAWAY!!! But that's honestly it... Don't be fooled! I would only VISIT and then go home! I mentioned in the Title... It depends on the type of person. If you are in college at one of the private universities or medical center... then it can be fun, OF COURSE! If you are a young single professional who has ANY experience in other Southern cities. Few examples would be: Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, Charlotte, Lexington, Austin, Athens, etc... you'll be in for a big suprise. It's been mentioned before on this site so I'll just REPEAT it: If you come as a young, single AVAILABLE (good job, good looks, good credit, etc) professional looking to meet new people/friends, it will be MUCH TOUGHER than other cities unless you are willing to LOWER your expectations. During my time there, I was able to meet a good amount of friends (but that was primarily due to fraternity connections and staying mostly around Vandy), for MOST people it's not so easy.... Unless you want to hang around a bunch of trash/hillbillies/etc. You will find like minded, same "social class" people but you'll have to look pretty hard b/c this isn't a city that is LITTERED with them yet... not like the aforementioned cities. *This DOES NOT apply to surrounding areas (Brentwood/Franklin/Murfreesboro/Clarksville/etc)...but in the INNER city that's jsut what it is. Thus, the nightlife and/or social scene is pretty much(someone else mentioned this earlier too lol): 1. Hang around the Vandy area (which isn't bad if you know people) 2. Go to Broadway/the Gulch which is LOUD, ANNOYING a giant TOURIST TRAP 3. Go to East Nashville which is probably one of the MOST GHETTO and DANGEROUS areas in the country (it's SCARY) *I will commend Law Enforcement here as when I moved here I had known a few attorneys in the area and they knew I came from a "higher end" city and were VERY COURTEOUS, helpful and respectful...they did an OUTSTANDING job knowing the situation I feel that this is due to Nashville being a Catch 22... it wants to market itself as "up and coming" but the REALITY is... it isn't there yet. Charlotte and Austin have FAR, FAR, FAR surpassed Nashville... in the fact that those cities are GENTRIFIED and have LIGHT RAIL systems. But this could also be due to the fact that Nashville relies HEAVILY on tourism and it (honestly) isn't "possible" to have those if you rely so much on tourism and refuse to "attract" more other "talent". That's also why there are so VERY FEW upper middle class, educated young professionals. 5-10 years from now this may all change.. Bottom line: GREAT city to VISIT, do NOT live here or you will regret it!

It's OK... could be better - 4/17/2018

So... Nashville doesn't TRUELY "live up" to the Hype but it's not bad either... It tries to paint itself as "Southern" but the reality is it isn't... Probably compared to places up North or the West Coast it might be "southern"... Actually the surrounding areas and suburbs (Brentwood/Franklin/Murfreesboro/Knox/Chatanooga/etc) would definitely be classified as "Southern". Tennessee is a VERY BEAUTIFUL state as a whole let me say that... when the weather is nice that is (lol). Nash just doesn't really live up to the "hype" . It is VERY, VERY touristy so it can seem very "transient". I will admit that part of the reason I came was I had a connection from another state for a VERY VERY HIGH PAYING job. Although it is the country music capital... It just isn't that Southern to be honest with you. In comparison, I would call Lexington as very Southern. Nash seems much more liberal in comparison. That's not to say it's a bad thing but it brings to mind... well "What do you want Nash to be?" It IS the Country Music Capital but you already have cities like Minneapolis and Austin which are FAR AHEAD of Nashville and a little "more established/gentrified". That being said... unfortunatley in Nashville you can still run into "undesirables" in/at RANDOM times/areas. Whereas in Austin or Minneapolis you would never have that chance... but those are more "gentrified" areas. You also have a lot of transplants from "non southern" areas of the country or backgrounds that can come into Nash and it gives it more of a "fake" vibe... That's probably where a lot of the "fake" comments come from. All in all it's ok... I'd honestly prefer to visit than live in... the suburbs are nice though

Nice Try - 3/7/2018

I've lived in the metro area going on about eight years. Six of those years were spent in Murfreesboro as a student of MTSU. While I generally liked the Murfreesboro area, after graduation I considered moving to Nashville as that’s where the majority of the jobs were/are. It took me no time to quickly gather that Nashville is nothing like its suburban areas, totally different vibe. One of the biggest gripes I have about this city is the housing. I don't mind paying a decent penny for somewhere relatively decent to stay; but what you get for what you pay is almost laughable. I've stayed in two different apartments in two different areas of town and BOTH apartments had issues you wouldn't think them to have as much as the price in rent was. My first apartment had mold everywhere from the walls, to the cabinets to even smelling it through the vents, yet I was met with a very nonchalant response when mentioned to the office. My second apartment, while a tad nicer in appliances, was infested with huge cockroaches. I had complained so many times to the office, you could hear them becoming pestered by my persistence; while yet again doing NOTHING to resolve the issue. I find it unfathomable that I am paying so much in rent only to feel uncomfortable in my living environment. The mindset of many of these complexes are "you should be grateful to have somewhere to stay" and "you need us, we don't need you" they have no sense of customer service or plain courtesy in general, they treat you like you're a number and not a person, its truly disgusting. Furthermore, if you're not immediately from Nashville, the locals will know it; but this is where the kicker is. They immediately start probing you with all these random questions as if you're too stupid to see that they're trying to figure you out. I have encountered so many scam artists around this city its unbelievable, but the thing is they are sloppy with their trickery. Luckily I'm somewhat street smart so I can always detect a "hustler" when I encounter one. This one coworker from Atlanta told me when I first got here that the passive-aggressiveness of this city is off the charts. I didn't think much of it when he first told me but boy was he right. Also the driving here is horrendous to say the least. I've visited and driven in many cities and while all may have bad drivers, Nashville is bad in the sense that they have no scheme or rationality to their driving. Its like they crank the car, mash the gas and wing it. They keep wanting to hide behind the excuse that their traffic is bad due to increase of population, but truth be told their traffic is bad because they simply cannot drive plain and simple. I will forever be grateful for the experiences and opportunities I've had while living in the area; but I simply think that Nashville has a misconception of how they see themselves compared to what they really are in prospect. They conduct themselves to be a city that has “already arrived” when in actuality, they are a city that is only on a small scale come up. Sure, maybe in the next decade or so they may finally arrive, but they still have a mighty long ways to go before even being acknowledged on that level. Overall, I think Nashville needs to humble themselves and understand they are NOT an Atlanta, Houston, or Chicago and stop comparing themselves against mega metro cities that have been long established. When my apartment lease ends I will be leaving here for certain, maybe even the state as a whole.

Truth about IT City or New Nashville - 6/9/2017

First thank you Sperling’s Best Places for all your info. I have decided my post-retirement career/retirement city and state! I did check other sources and got in touch with people living in areas and ordered relocation info packets to follow-up to each city/state as mentioned in Town Hall meeting. Alas, greater Nashville/TN did not even have a chance. Reasons and the following truths hurt but needs to be stated why Greater Nashville/Tennessee lost: Frankly tired of the ‘driving while single female’. This includes Sumner Co where I relocated after being told by Metro Nashville PD they would not help regarding my stalker since no children/or intimate with him (Nashville PD words not mine). So far as I can tell, this is a State problem as well. Yes folks you can tell by tags who newcomers are: examples: older tag 123DDD or DDD377, new tags have 1A37A1 or A1371A. Real easy to spot the older tags. The cops check you out driving toward and passing then turn around. So for us older timers we hate having to go anywhere. Hate toward (lived in Nashville about 60 years; enough is enough of this behavior) single women is scary in Tennessee. Bad policing plain and simple boys/girls plan and simple for single women. Again, this only applied to the single females other groups are not affected. Another example of how bad it is in Nashville, I came home the other night to my gated apartment community being overrun by drug dealers. I just ran and hoped I could get to inside my apartment before something happened to me since I know Metro Nashville does not answer a call for help because of my single status. Other single females have been told the same. Don’t call us we will not come to help you. I do have a funny story regarding Metro Nashville PD. Was returning my library books one Sunday morning after I got off work and Metro PD tried to block me from leaving after I put my books in the bin. Just drove around them and gave them dirty looks meaning you kids are too weird for words-rather sad but funny at the same time, ah the newer generation continues harassment of single women. I’m petit so I have to get out of my car at drive-ups; my arms just don’t reach that far to bins or ATMs. The one GOOD thing I can say about the whole area is for the others served in Tennessee/greater Nashville, Metro PD puts their hearts into those cases. I know friends who had abuse by husbands/boyfriends and Metro Nashville went out of their way on the cases. Kids in trouble they worked with them. Friends caught DUI/drugs worked with them as well for rehab. Instead of complaining other groups should say Thank You to the cops for helping them in their time of need. Now to the money concerns: New projects that do not benefit me specifically: Close to 1) 477 million for the rehab of Titans/Predators stadium/arena. Both of these teams were promised by the ex-mayor/governor who brought them into town that they would generate revenue that Metro Nashville’s support would grow smaller; 2) This same ex-mayor/governor stated we did not need to redo our roads for future growth-we were dumb Southerners’? I remember him say this on tape somewhere, just man up and stop blaming everyone else for your wrong decisions; 3) Also, if remember from budget correctly from new mayor two more practice facilities for Predators – how many does this team need? 4) Forty member council about to give themselves a 54% raise – another raise? 5) Six million transit plan that will never benefit me – if I stay I’ll be overworked and dead. On and on with everything the newcomers want, bike lanes that have narrowed streets to dangerous level, public works trying to repair streets, so much so few employees/budget for infrastructure. Most historical buildings are demolished. FAKE everything now for newcomers wants/needs. Before the real Nashville starting being demolished in the 1990s Nashville did have a quirky historic atmosphere and vibe. What will Nashville not get from me starting in a few months? Pension and working for about twenty years more, 401s and revenue that would have been generated from my spending and taxes (both federal/state). From the list above you will need every cent you can get for ‘improvements’ for the newcomers. I do wish all the negative newcomers who have moved into the Nashville area since the mid-1990s good luck. Nashville is about 99% transplants and 1% long term residents. That is why no Southern Charm is felt in Nashville. Newcomers doing the complaining are the problem with the “New Nashville or IT City” as the newcomers call Nashville now. The one thing I can say is that I am SMILING while I write this, congratulations to my future home city/state. VERY safe and welcoming city, good infrastructure, a little higher in cost of living, still I will be able to go to parades, farmers market, etc. and get on their greenway and be safe taking simple precautions and no advanced weapons needed to protect myself. I’m taking my historic quirky vibe to my new HOME.

Greatness was in its reach !!!! - 12/28/2016

Nashville could be a great city, but due to the blatant racism and good ole boy network that exist in this city, shames it !!! Downtown Nashville is all honkytonk country entertaining establishments bars, and restuarants its not diverse and if your not white your really not welcome downtown Nashville and that's on purpose !!! When cultural events goes on in Nashville regardless if its Latino, African American, Asian or Middle Eastern, city council will make sure its not held in the downtown area where the white people frequents (Lower Broadway) to Riverfront park. When certain entertainers comes to perform and they are not country singers they make sure they are performing in the less desirable venues i.e. the municipal auditorium, Hadley Park, but when a country singer performs automatically they gets the best venue i.e. the Ryman, Grand Ole Opry, Schrimmerhorn, or Bridgestone Arena. The weather isn't great here, public schools are awful!!! low performance schools except a couple ...Everything closes early in the evening here, The Tennessee Titans are awful year after year.... The city is building and pushing out the low income residents cost of living is up from the Hotels to every apartment complexs in Nashville with no upgrading of the property. The roads are dangerous, people are dying weekly on all the interstates due to poor roads & streets conditions. Nashville want the big city look but the mind frame is still country hillbilly mindset. I'm leaving this city I had enough of the outright racism here ...been here since 2010 I hope it gets better... many good people lives here I things get better here for the masses that lives here....good luck !!!!

Don't Buy Into the Hype - 7/6/2016

I believe Nashville has been getting a false reputation of being a great destination for transplants, and I find this to be quite misleading. If you are looking for a friendly, open-minded city in which others are always looking for opportunities to interact with others and meet new people, look elsewhere, like Austin. The people who seem to enjoy the city the most are those that grew up and have made friends and have family there, or those that have a stable job in the music industry. If you come alone, and aren't an attractive female, you're likely to stay that way throughout your duration. Despite being a southern city, the people just aren't that friendly. When I go to my home town in Arkansas, I see people interacting with strangers, smiling, and being welcoming in general. People keep to themselves in this city, for the most part. Even most clerks, bartenders, servers, etc. seem very closed off and not at all eager for a friendly conversation. When you go out at night, you see groups of people keeping to themselves and not really interacting with others or even acknowledging them. Even at work, people don't seem eager to converse with people outside of their group of friends. The restaurants are okay-there are a few gems (Hattie B's hot chicken is moderately priced and wonderful), but it is mostly your corporate affair. Night life is not for everyone- you'll mainly find very crowded, very noisy venues serving $5 beers and featuring miserable looking musicians playing generic country songs. If you're in a group, you should be able to have a good time, but if you go in alone hoping to meet people, you'll be disappointed in most cases. If your career depends on you moving to this city, then I can understand the decision to move here. But it is a very artifical, corporate town. You may hear the sound of that and not care, but the people feel very cold and fake as well. I've lived in and visited many different cities, and have never experienced troubled in meeting or befriending people. If you meet good ones here , they are the exception, not the rule. Just do yourself a favor and avoid, unless you absolutely aspire to be a country musician. Traffic sucks. Peoplr(for the most part) suck. No personality. Go on vacation here and move along.

This is not the city for singles or transplants... - 1/4/2016

Nashville is NOT your typical southern city. Lived in many American cities but this one is the oddest one towards transplants ever. If you're not from here or have family that lives here or married, forget it. There are better cities to live for single transplants, Boston, Buffalo, NY, NYC, etc. You will quickly realize the fakeness of the people here and their herd mentality. The expensive cost of living is overrated for a city that doesn't even have many sidewalks, no real outdoor activities, narcissistic, conceited rude people? And this is a southern city??? Really? I've met friendlier people in NYC, Atlanta and Boston than here. If you're looking to live in a "southern" city then live in Atlanta, Charlotte or even Birmingham. The jobs are mediocre and pay low wages. High crime rate, bad drivers and the public transit is a joke. The blacks are the worst. They're too busy "pleasing" whites to even notice the racism here. The people here also has so anger issues. This city is to visit only and move on to someplace else.

Nashville - 7/25/2015

Nashville isn't a good place for singles over 40. Most of the single men are overweight and uneducated. The building contractors rule the town so you have liquor stores next to churches and McMansions next to historic homes. There is a very high crime rate. I talked to two Metro Nashville cops who told me to not to call them, instead just buy a shotgun. The millenials here are unbelievably rude and narcissistic. Also, everyone is a wannabe musician which means they are usually narcissistic and immature.

Single Women Over 40 Do Not Move to Nashville - 10/30/2014

Nashville has no quality of life for single women over 40 (unless you are a swinger)! No activities (concerts and outdoors activities for starters. Property taxes on a rental are 40%, too much infill without planning-no historic buildings left, emission testing, and very high crime all bring down the quality of life in Nashville, TN. Examples: 1)If you even go to an art exhibition you will be stopped by police (my instance was a dealers bracket around my plate) and hit on. Then you get the sermon on if 'anything' happens to you since you are a single female over 40 it is your fault and do not bother the police. Same thing happened when I was hit twice! 2) One officer claimed I was dating a 16 yr old male who was a witness(?) and of course did not even ask if I needle medical! 3) Next time I had staggered into the interstate after getting struck at 70 miles hour from behind and thrown across all four lanes of the interstate (lucky a EMT came and got me for transport-not that the police even asked if I had any injuries again). Just too many examples to warn about. In other words in two years I will be out of this cesspool and into my new home state and city with better amenities and quality of life. Oh, and do not get me started on all the hateful and angry transplants, will definitely not miss them at all!

A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE! - 5/16/2014

We lived in the Nashville area and was so sad that we had to relocate. I miss Nashville SO much! The people are great, lots to do, beautiful at Christmas time...just a fun place to live especially if you are a country music fan! We are still hopeful that we will make our way back there.

Nashville, the beautiful! - 10/3/2013

I love Nashville, full of some of the best chefs and food! It is growing and has so much to offer. I have lived all over the world and would not choose to live anywhere else. So many great unique neighborhoods and shops. It lets people live (especially the celebrities) and yet still remains relative and friendly all at the same time. Very few places can offer that.
