Family friendly - 7/4/2022
I am 33 and have lived here all my life. It used to only be thought if as a small military town. Now things have changed. Clarksville has grown so much in the past 10 years, but especially in the past 5! Yes, traffic congestion at rush hour can be an issue especially on Wilma Rudolph where the mall and all the big chain restaurants are located. However, Clarksville has so much more to offer. The local food scene has taken off! Clarksville suppports local and it is showing! Downtown Clarksville is being revitalized as well with a new arena and local restraunts. In the summer, downtown host a farmers market every Saturday. Another great thing is Clarksville Parks and Rec. They do so many things for our local parks. Rotary park has my absolute favorite playground and a nice creek where youll often find kids wading. Roatary park also has walking and biking trails. Liberty park overlooks the river and has a huge playground and huge field. Heritage park has a skatepark and splashpad as

Clarksville TN is a great place to call home. - 12/10/2021
Clarksville is a great place to live, it can be peaceful as you want it to be but it also has all the shopping you need. If you want high-end stores or fancier places to eat, Nashville is only 45 mins away.

Nice...but not if you have allergies. - 12/30/2019
We lived here for 3 years and it wasn't bad. The downtown area is nice, if a bit run down, and there's a lot of cool/artsy stuff to do there. The Wilma Rudolph area (it's basically the strip where all the restaurants and stores are) is pretty bad. Traffic is horrible, and there are a lot of rough-looking people that hang around down there. There's some fairly decent restaurants in the area, though. I recommend Rafferty's. It's the bomb! However, this area in genera....It's not the nicest area. The weather in TN is horrible and changes like...every three seconds. It's unpredictable. If you are someone with seasonal allergies or you are allergic to grass/trees/pollen/ragweed, you are going to be miserable in Tennessee. All in all, I probably wouldn't go back.

Great place to live - 10/23/2019
Clarksville TN is a great place to live. The people are friendly for most parts. There are a ton of outdoor activities to keep you busy if you like to fish, hunt, hike, mountain bike... The cost of living is super low compared to almost anywhere in the US. Housing is silly cheap and we are close to Nashville and to LBL, what's not to like.

Unremarkable - 4/4/2017
If you enjoy being overwhelmed by a town congested with mediocre restaurants serving terrible food for twice the value, Clarksville is for you.

Wal-Marts - 2/2/2016
Just to be correct, there are indeed 3 Wal-Marts in Clarksville, and 1 more in Oak Grove, KY. Not that I'm proud of that fact but these are the facts. One is on Wilma Rudolph, one is on Madison, and one is on Ft.

Weather - 3/4/2015
Too much rain, and too little sunshine. There are several days at a time in a row that it is cloudy and overcast. The figures are incorrect about days of sunshine. At least from March 1st 2014 to present since we have lived

Clarksville Academy - 10/6/2014
I notice nothing has been written about Clarksville Academy in the last few years. I am very skeptical of the positive comments listed here as I know the school solicits these comments from family members, faculty and friends in order to put a positive "face" on this school. It is anything but. The Head of Schools is probably one of the most unprofessional educators I have ever met. Many of the teachers are extremely good instructors but others are not. Many classes are unsupervised and have little or no structure. Tuition and other cost keep going up every year until it is cost prohibitive for anyone but the wealthiest in Clarksville. Good teachers leave because of the person in charge of the school. Students leave for the same reason. Many students going back to the public schools find they are a grade level behind. Not a good place.
