I currently live in Antioch, TN and I would highly recommend that you seek out buying a home soon after you make your move to the Antioch or Murfreesboro area. Why? Because what you are paying for you 3BR apartment is considered a good deal compared to what you will pay here for renting (possibly $800-$1000+ for a 3BR). Both Antioch and Murfreesboro are growing rapidly and new subdivisions are springing up almost daily. Antioch is within Davidson County (Metro Nashville) and the schools are getting really crowded here. Murfreesboro may have better options where public schools are concerned but TN as a whole is known for its horrible public school systems. There are many great private and magnet schools in the Davidson County area. I'm not so sure what Murfreesboro (Rutherford County) has to offer but it is near Antioch and lots of people are moving to the area from all over. Antioch has a more diverse culture. Also, buying a home here is much more reasonable than renting because your mortgage is likely to be less than what you'll pay to rent and you build equity on top of that. Overall, I think the Nashville area is the greatest place to raise a family. Hope this helps!
