Greeneville, TN
i haven't been here too long, but here's my 2 cent -
11/29/2019We moved to Greeneville Tn. from southern Maine in Nov. 2019. We have driven through on our way to Nashville a year ago and thought it would be a relaxing place to restart our life after my cancer treatment and retirement. We lived in Maine in a small city that was quickly becoming overcrowded and welfare stricken and property taxes were getting out of hand. The countryside in Greeneville is nice and there are more shopping locations and gas stations than you can shake a stick at. Gas prices are about 30 cents a gallon cheaper than Maine, but beer is more expensive. Cable tv and internet service ran me $238.00 a month in maine and is now running me $118.00 a month in Greeneville for a better service.my property taxes for a 1100 sq. ft house on 1/2 acre that was built in 1887 was $3,000.00 per year.....now in Greeneville we have an 1050 sq. ft house on 1/2 acre, built in 1976 and the property taxes are $260.00 per year.......WHAAAAAAAAAT ??? I am ALSO
astounded by the number of vehicles from the 70's and 80's that are not all rotted out...being from Maine they used salt on the roads in the winter, so you are lucky to have a car for 10 years without rust and rot. if you see a toyota truck from the 1980's in maine it's unheard of..in Greeneville they are everywhere. really cool. food is about the same as maine as are clothes...Religion is super big in Greeneville. Churches everywhere. People are generally very nice, smile, and will talk to you....but you can tell the "good ole' boys" that don't like outsiders...I just say hi to them and if they don't like it they can go f uck themselves..lol....will it be my forever place to live?? probably not...but we will see...enjoy
