24 Things To Know Before Moving to Tennessee in 2024

[@TraceyTraysea]

I moved to Tennessee last year. I love it. People are so nice. It's beautiful here!

[@Parismel]

2 more retirees coming next year! Just bought 9 acres in Morgan County and we cannot wait to build our little house with a mountain view and away from the chaos of this society!

[@alegnaboulenthal]

Keep that in mind as you age and need access to excellent medical care. You won't find that here!

[@RosaEstanli]

You’ll definitely still be working on 9 acres. I was thinking of buying land but it’s a lot of work.

[@cb664]

Thank you for talking honestly about the tornadoes! None of the TN realtors on KZbin bother to address this. 31 tornadoes per year is no small amount. It's one of the biggest downsides!

[@kikrdotch]

Great video, thanks

[@jennsappalachianden]

Knoxville is too crowded! There’s smaller towns close to there with the same type of conveniences. Morristown, Greeneville, Rogersville, Kingsport.

[@jesssands5349]

Yes, I have been there. I love that I could drive to Knoxville, every other weekend for the bigger things or for “city” life. I’m from CA and it takes me the same amount of time or longer to drive only 20 miles.

[@jesssands5349]

Jefferson City has a lot of conveniences too

[@Hooker_Solos]

I live in Kingsport, it's 👌👨‍🍳

[@user-dj2co5uf2k]

Good to know

[@jesssands5349]

I love ❤ TN. I went to Uni of Memphis. I’ve lived in Eastern Tn too. I love ❤❤ TN

Thanks Jenna!

Those apartment rentals are low. $1000-1200 were base rental prices back in 2018. Those were base excluding the fees added a month to the rent.

[@sarahlockridge7879]

June to August?! Yea right ... summer started at least May here this year. Gawd Lordy i cant wait for summer to end. It's so hot lol

[@sarahlockridge7879]

Taxes. We pay over 9% AND taxed on groceries. NOT a tax friendly state imo. Also, be warned, you'll pay an extra fee when purchasing a home to the state. Approximately $3000.

[@RosaEstanli]

It definitely started in May. I was so upset we didn’t get to enjoy Spring.

[@officerzack1108]

​@@sarahlockridge7879this is something people don't realize when they move to Tennessee that sales tax absolutely sucks. Everything you want to get will be taxed, and it's high especially if you wanna live in the major cities. The tax money doesn't go to anything useful, because our politicians are useless and don't even care about bettering the lives of people here. The weather sucks especially during the summer, a day where it's in the 70s is rare because we're getting scorched by the heat. Honestly in my opinion going up North is the best thing you can do, I've already got my eyes set on making a potential move to Michigan when I have the right amount of money saved up. One because you can actually enjoy summers up there, and two I feel like I would have a better quality of life.

[@sarahlockridge7879]

@@officerzack1108 we just moved from Indiana. If your dem, do MI, if Republican, do Indiana. My husband took a job here in Middle TN so we moved. I do love it tho. Ppl are nicer. Culture is amazing. Winter sssuuiccckkksss up north. I mean sucks! It's very depressing for 9 months pretty much. So be prepared. Summer and a lil fall is what ya get there. Spring is winter and maybe a lil spring.

[@sarahlockridge7879]

@@officerzack1108 as far as financially better quality, Indiana yes. Don't do MI for the money part. Also, if you are outdoorsy....again, don't move there. You can't get outside for at least 6 months unless you are ok with frigid temps. I bundle up to walk and it's still miserable.

[@tcheryacine1924]

What about coming from another country? I'm really considering moving there with my family

[@samanthabarberlette-edward8546]

What if you don’t drive, where would you live close to store for seniors

[@josephmontoya104]

So I went down to Knoxville at the end of March for 3 days and enjoyed it. I am scoping it out for a possible move in the near future. I live in Phoenix, Az and been here for 28 years. I want a change in life and scenery so I am choosing Kinston/Harriman area for my relocation. I enjoyed your video thanks for helping with information on moving to Tennessee. What cities do you sell restate in? I am planning another trip on 4th of July weekend to see how the summers feel with the humidity. Because Phoenix don't get a lot of humidity just heat.

[@WelcometoTN]

Hi there! I serve the greater Nashville area, but I also have referral agents who can help with relocation all across the state.

[@suzonahmed9553]

Hey, I wanna move to Murfreesboro january 2025 for my MSc study so please help me rent a room, job, or other if anyone has an opportunity.

[@MHall-qd4dn]

There’s only one thing to know before moving to Tennessee. DON’T

[@alegnaboulenthal]

100% agree. I'm from the south but grew up everywhere as an Air Force brat. Came back to TN three years ago and now we're leaving. Rudest, nastiest people. Wages and salaries are some of the lowest I've ever been paid. Massive drug and homeless problems because of the low wages and lack of available housing. Infrastructure is stuck in the 90's, you lose power every time the wind blows (which the linemen and their families benefit from, they're some of the few with above-poverty wages). Paid $4 for a gallon of milk where it's $2.59 in my hometown. Medical care is not great, Vanderbilt is NOT the fabulous healthcare you've been told it is (and it's hours away if you don't live close). Real estate and rents are ridiculously expensive. If you aim to live in the country and are self-sufficient, go for it. But if you appreciate the daily things that make life easy, need quick access to medical care, or you don't like hearing daily from the natives that they don't want you here and wish you would leave, find another place to live. Sadly, I AM a native, but my accent says they shouldn't bother to get to know me. Supposed to be the Bible belt - but are the least welcoming and genuine people I've met. Southern hospitality is a huge myth. Don't fall for it. Come vacation here... but don't stay.

[@Hooker_Solos]

Y'all ain't livin in the right places in Tennessee, down here in Tennessee where I live everybody is super nice, makes since if you in Memphis and complainin bout it

[@MHall-qd4dn]

@@Hooker_Solos lol right

[@zeeman857]

​@@alegnaboulenthal I moved here on Easter. Found a great job in 5 days, and the people have been super nice

[@jamesjones5580]

Facts. These people need to stop Californiaing my Tennessee.

[@dotjohnson231]

TN getting crowded, more expensive, increased crime. Don't come here. Too many people here already

[@genistacarroll1773]

IT IS TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE NOW!!!!

[@MxAxDxE]

Don’t,stay out we full 😜

[@kaylenn52090]

Please stop moving here. Its gonna stop being affordable. The tax thing she made it sound confusing but sales tax is 9.75% and I think food is like 6.5%. The smoky mountains the tourists have gotten out of control. I haven't gone there because of the tourists. I love them but too many people. Don't visit Graceland. You won't have your car or belongings because its in a terrible part of town. Everybody know someone that works at Fedex in Memphis. They also just built Ford Blue Oval right outside of Memphis so they are hoping to bring in more people. They also are buildings a Buccees 30 minutes outside of Memphis also. No to Memphis please. We have too many people

[@RogerWilsonTodd]

If you’re intelligent or value intelligence, expect to be in the frustrated minority in Tennessee.

[@Joshinitup]

Hi !! My wife and I are thinking of moving to Knoxville. I heard that Knoxville can be racist. Is that true ?? Would you know ?? lol. Thanks for the info.

[@OCurbangardener]

How can a city be racist? 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@Clownlife432]

Truly classless.

[@utcnc7mm]

Racist? If you go anywhere looking for something you can find it. With that kind of attitude stay where your at.
