The Truth About Living in Nashville (costs, tourism, traffic, where to live, etc)

[@GageWayne]

We moved to Berry Hill last October. I have visited Nashville since 2019 for work multiple times and I am so happy to finally be living here full time!

[@BronwynAlexandriaa]

I don’t enjoy living here, but so many people do. I hope more people move here who will love it! Also, one thing I think that should be mentioned in the weather department - is that it rains every single week. Always. There is always at least 1-2 days of rain a week, I think that should be mentioned. As well as the weekends, most weekends are rainy..

[@julieberry1683]

That’s definitely not true! It doesn’t rain here every weekend. There are seasons of rain just like anywhere else, but I would say you exaggerated quite a bit.

[@ThatNashvilleGirl]

It never rains here lol!!!

Nashville is pretty walkable. If you live downtown, it is easy to walk to Capitol Hill, Germantown, SOBRO, Gulch, downtown ext. If you dont want to walk, there are ton of electric scooters.

[@Nashbash4397]

There is a train, the music city star. Its a commuter rail and runs from downtown. Stops at donelson, hermitage, mt juliet, martha and lebanon. Only runs mon-fri and about 6am til 6pm.

[@hannahashton]

wow I've never heard of this but great to know for people who commute from those areas!

[@dimpols93]

I was about to mentioned this too!!

Just subscribed! I currently live in Mount Juliet- great up in Columbia, went to Lipscomb, but worked in Nashville, hung out in Nashville most of my life. My husband worked at Gibson for 30 years. About to retire myself and have my own channel too. We are big foodies! And still go in to Nashville for that! :-) Nice to find your vlog!

The tornado situation shouldn't be down played, it's gotten so much worse over the last few years. I feel like my perspective of living in Nashville is very different because I don't live in Nashville proper. I live about 30 minutes outside in Spring Hill. It is absolutely a big city and I don't get why people say it has a small town feel. I never see the same people regularly lol. I rarely have a reason to go downtown because all the restaurants are gimmicky and over priced. It's over crowded and everyone is drunk. Nashville is fun for a weekend, but living here is boring. Plus the scenery gets old. If you drive 8 hours in any direction you're looking at the same trees....lol. It sucks that if you want to get anywhere, it's at least a 30 minute drive. Nothing is convenient and traffic is horrendous.

[@TaliaLea]

You’re gunna convince everyone to move there omg sounds so cute! I’ve only been once for a work trip during the summer but I loved the vibes

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Hannah happy Sunday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@peacewithhearts]

I agree with most of what you stated. As someone who moved here a few years ago from the Midwest and travels frequently, I will offer an additional perspective. Cost of living is lower than most US cities. Housing market is booming, but you can still get a beautiful house for much less than other parts of the country. No state income taxes and low real estate taxes, but sales tax is high. Roads are not well taken care of, bad pot holes in the winter, debris in the middle of the highway lanes, road kill that sits on the side of the road until it decays. Traffic is really bad as you mentioned and drivers are one of the worst I’ve seen in the country, worst than NY and LA drivers imo. The natives are not very nice to tourists or transplants, so you have to learn to ignore them. Super dog friendly, lots of events catered towards dogs, many patios and stores allow pets. Several events and groups out there to make friends. Lastly, SO MUCH TO DO!! Unfortunately it’s land locked, but we do have some lakes and amazing scenery. We’re only 1-2 hours away from beautiful mountains. It is a great city to be in as a young professional.

[@xxslicendicexx]

Went recently from Minnesota and I can't believe how great it was down there. Much more pleasant than the Twin Cities

[@rachelbolick]

Hey Friend, Happy Tuesday. I enjoy learning more about what the lifestyle is like for other people in their states. I love living in North Carolina, it’s such a beautiful place to live. 😊❤

[@judeh0822]

I live in Nashville for 5 yrs now and my area is Germantown and I love it very much!!

[@Janasmatos]

Hi Hannah!! I m from Brazil and i hope soon to live in tennesse, cause my future job will be in Nashville, i'm so happy. Your video is help me, thanks and nice to see you

[@damngianna]

i am considering moving out there and this was so helpful thank you!

[@ThatNashvilleGirl]

I live in Midtown and although there are indeed a line of bars here I wouldn’t classify it as loud or a party scene. We are right next to the beautiful Vanderbilt campus and I’ve never been unable to sleep or felt like I was in a party scene (I’m in my mid-30s, work in corporate America, and go to bed at 9pm even on weekends lol)

[@Vs-hl7zq]

Nashville humidity is awful like the traffic. Nothing but loud drunk people downtown.

[@rachellenale]

Awe, I didn’t know you were close to Germantown. That’s where my in-laws live. There are soo many good places to eat there.

[@goodlucklaurie]

I live in Germantown and this video was on point 🙌🏻

[@ThatNashvilleGirl]

I work a normal job and I don’t feel like it’s disheartening at all! Nashville is no different from any other city. You have folks who have all sorts of different work schedules everywhere. I don’t think that should deter anyone who works a corporate job from moving here.

[@advantagenashville]

Thx for the intel 😁

[@SarahSchneider2]

I would love to visit Nashville but good to be aware of the city bus system having safety concerns. If I were to visit the city I would probably rent a car(since I would be flying in) or Uber/lift depending on if I was traveling myself or with others.

[@hannahashton]

yes renting a car would be super helpful unless you are staying in a central area where you can walk/easily get Ubers :)

[@anastasiafontes8740]

I am considering moving next year all by myself. Any recommendations on good rental places?

[@ryanmccaskie7903]

Is sylvan park a neighborhood that’s safe and popular? I was looking towards East Nashville but the vibe doesn’t seem like it’s something I would like. I would like a nice walkable neighborhood that isn’t too insanely expensive

[@lifeaskayb]

Make sure you don't leave anything valuable in your car it's 500 break ins this year

[@phaedrus7971]

There have been several bus station shootings here that have gotten a lot of attention lately. Safety has become worse.

[@carmenmoore9273]

How are job opportunities in Nashville? What careers thrive?

[@eddiemartinez7555]

Lovely Hannah 😊🎉🎉😂❤

[@Charliesgirl88]

20min to 1hr?! Girl that's exactly like LA 😅

[@mike-uw6wt]

Nashville is overrated and boring.

[@joelm4847]
