Elizabethton TN - One of Northeast TN's Hidden Gems

Is Elizabethton Tennessee a good place to live? People from out of state are beginning to move to northeast TN, partly due to the runup in prices in the Nashville and surrounding areas that make them less attractive. Johnson City, Kingsport, and our hometown of Bristol make up the "Tri-cities" and are becoming a better alternative to some people.
Here's one of the smaller towns that surrounds the Tri-cities, Elizabethton, TN.

I used to live in Elizabethton years ago. Like back in 2004. Saturday downtown car shows were great to go to.

[@daleholmgren6078]

Watauga Lake is breathtaking. If you long for the 1950s, Elizabethton has that sweet old vibe.

I was born in Elizabethton tn in 1960 at Carter county memorial hospital now demolished and replaced by other buildings. We moved away in 1969 and I moved back in 1984 to 1991 and moved to reno nevada..it's nice to see my hometown get noticed..I love that place..we crossed the covered bridge all through the 60s to go to Watauga lake and valley forge and Hampton tn but now you can only walk across it..this is a beautiful video of my hometown.

[@tramptramp5401]

I live about 8 miles east of Elizabethton out Stoney Creek. I chose it for so many reasons I can't list them all. I have even had people follow me to this area because I loved it so much and now they do also. The only thing I see as a concern is that some people seem to come here for the financial advantages, but then want to change it to what they had before. It's great the way it is and I would encourage anyone interested in coming here, not to change it, but let it change you. I can't imagine being anywhere else. TN. itself was listed as 3rd in over all liberty and above all else, that's why I am here.

[@brucewillman8185]

I get it. I want to move here from PA. Because of the financial benefits but being very conservative I want to embrace southern living and be part of this community.

[@DontLookBehindYou1]

I moved here three and a half years ago from Dallas Texas. The metroplex was too hectic for my wife and I and we packed everything up that would fit in our SUV, sold everything else, and headed in the direction of Tennessee. We initially landed in Bristol, I finally made our way and found a home in Elizabethton. One of the best decisions of my life. It's gorgeous here and it seems like everybody treats everybody with respect. They are not a fan of blinkers here though, but the alternative is metroplex driving... So I'll stick with the blinker thing. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@TNVAHomeTeam]

Love your comment. I can tell you that I saw the same "blinker issue" in Chattanooga and saw it in Tuscaloosa AL. Maybe it's a southern thing? Glad you're hear!

[@michaelholt8590]

I live in Elizabethton and have been here my whole 43 years. The only problem with this town is the traffic during the day. The town is only 14,000 people but many times that drive through every day going to work in Johnson City or other places.

[@seanhazelwood3311]

Yep, because Carter Co. doesn't want any business that isn't retail, ergo, no jobs.

Retiring in a few years and love to RV. Live near Detroit. We were contemplating taking the travel trailer south in the winter, but now researching reversing that - living in TN or SC and RV the summers in Michigan. This area looks wonderful, but I worry vacating a home for months at a time in an area where we don't know anybody. Also thought about vacant land..

[@JoyceGrindstaff1964]

You're welcome to move here. Just don't try to change what you find here. 😉

[@Archibald_von_Munch]

Amen, it sounds like an awesome city/town!

[@American54]

I’ve lived in Elizabethton Tennessee all my life. It’s a beautiful place to live. They only thing wrong with it in my opinion is the people in city hall who only does what’s good for themselves and nots what’s good for the city like I said that’s my opinion and I’m entitled to mine. The taxes are very high and everyone wonders where the money is spent

[@joewoodchuck3824]

We do most of our shopping there from that side of Johnson City. There weren't any suitable houses there when we were looking, so wound up in JC instead. JC is also nice though.

[@johndouglas7787]

How is the trout fishing in nearby rivers and streams? How do you think a piano teacher and piano tuner would fare in Elizabethton or surrounding communities?

[@TNVAHomeTeam]

Very good trout fishing in our area - discoverbristol.org/trip_ideas/bristol-on-the-fly/ I'm afraid I just don't know about the opportunities for your crafts since I have no direct experience however there are 250,000 people that live in the Johnson City metro area (which includes Elizabethton). My guess is that you would be just fine.

What areas are prone to the airport noise / traffic? Does Elizabethton have the weird aromas I've been reading that exist in the JC area?

[@TNVAHomeTeam]

Elizabethton has a very small local airport, located on the outskirts of town, NE of downtown. I've never seen a plane take off or land when driving by. Just not sure if you'd notice any noise to speak of. Traffic is pretty much non-existent. Also, I've never noticed any strange smells there or in JC. Kingsport has some industrial odors at time due to a paper plant and chemical plant.

Most county commissions here only want retail businesses due to tax rates, thus every time a manuf. business closes nothing replaces it.

Liberal Arts doesn't mean a political party. Liberal Arts refers to basic subjects/general foundational studies. Alot of students major in Liberal arts if they're not sure what their career major will be. It doesn't clash with Christianity.
