Moving to Johnson City, Tennessee - What to know.

Tiffany Watts
In this video, I talk about what people can expect when relocating / moving to Johnson City (and surrounding Northeast TN area).
I'm a full time realtor in the Johnson City area. Being a military family, we've lived in several places but I was born and raised in Kentucky. Now, we have decided to settle down in Northeast Tennessee....And we LOVE it here!
Tennessee has so much to offer! I hope my videos show that!

I am moving to America in a couple of months. I've been assigned to Johnson City for work. This is the most informational video I have been able to find about the place. Thanks a ton!

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

You're very welcome! Hope you love it here!

[@springcrocus7flower635]

Welcome to America!!

[@AA-hj8er]

Are you still there? do you like it?

[@lydiachrissy9610]

I live hour or so from Johnson City, TN that is a small town. We have back roads and hills. Very beautiful also and nice weather. I mostly go to Morristown to go clothes shopping, that is 45 mins away and a great drive. I buy bulk food items in Knoxville at SAMS club, more traffic. but Tennesse is a beautiful and mostly calm in my area.

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

Yeah, I love living in this area!

[@mikiehashbarger8182]

I live right outside of Johnson City Tennessee all my life

[@ramahonlineschool]

Can you make a video on rural land with some treed acreage and possibly water around Johnson City? Thank you!

[@Brandi75jahkita]

there are no videos out there that talk about health food stores, organic local produce, organic vegan, gluten free healthy restaurants, does this exist here?

[@karameske4286]

I’m wondering this as well

[@mkshffr4936]

Thinking a little to the northwest in Sullivan County but very close.

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

I cover that county as well! :)

[@michaelmerck7576]

Just don't go 80 miles an hour between Johnson City on an early Saturday morning and be 1 of the 2 cars on the road and one of them is a county mounty and find do that in a Mazda rx7 with a Georgia license plate

[@GDixon-ch3yl]

Haha

[@wholovesyababy5574]

I'm from NYC. Privacy would be wonderful, but I'm worried about crime and being isolated in a house where no one would know if I was broken into. I've been reading that crime is higher in TN than in NY (shocking!). Can you address that?

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

Hmmm, I would be surprised if that statistic was true. But I can't really speak for other large TN cities like Nashville or Memphis since we are pretty far away from those towns. We definitely do have crime here, like all towns. But I feel like I live in a pretty safe community. 😀

[@ownitaddict]

maybe in memphis and chattanooga

[@gdeleo7635]

Tiffany I wondering how the schools are in Johnson city. Are there any private Catholic or Christian middle and high schools

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

I personally haven't heard of anything negative about our local school systems here. My children attend Greene County Schools though. But I'm sure there are some things that people do not like about them. Yes, we do have Christian schools that include middle school grades. :)

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

Have you tried Jost or the correctional facility in Jonesborough. I saw they were hiring.

[@maryclebeau]

Do you have a historical walking downtown?😊

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

Yes, much of the area is also being revitalized. 😃

[@fredhorton4017]

[@larrelwhite7892]

[@op_delux2372]

Hello looks a really nice place

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

Thanks! I love it here. :)

[@michaelmerck7576]

Just don't go Kingsport without a gas mask

[@James-100]

Hey Tiffany, Big Game James checking in from SoCal. It looks like this video is over a year old, how are things out there now? Has the Great Migration from over-populated, over-priced, crime riddled areas affected Johnson City? Hopefully not, because your videos sure make it look nice.

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

Hey! We have seen a lot of growth in population in the area but it appears thr majority of people moving to Tennessee has landed more towards Nashville. Housing prices have gone up a lot over the last few years but slowed way down last summer. It's been a more natural / good steady price increase since then. Country life is still good in the Johnson City area!

[@James-100]

@@tiffanywattsrealestateagent Hi Tiffany, thank you so much for your speedy, informative response! You are actually the ONLY Tennessee Real Estate agent so far that has responded to my inquiries. I didn't know if it was my old, somewhat janky profile photo, so I just changed that. Anyhow, I appreciate that you took the time to reply.

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

@@James-100 You're very welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions. 😃

[@AgendaInMind]

Is there an Amish community in JC or do they travel from the middle of the state to sell their products? Thanks!

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

I believe their community is in Chuckey...Which is a small town Southwest of Johnson City. Not far...only about 25 miles away.

[@mikeadams2677]

I've lived in Johnson City all my life. Yes, like Tiffany said, there are some Amish, but there are also some Mennonites that live around the area she mentioned. As a matter of fact, there is an Amish store out on TN-107 near the Telford area.

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

@@mikeadams2677 Yeah! There is a Mennonite man that laid gravel for my Dads driveway and poured a concrete patio as well. He does a good job.

[@mikeadams2677]

@@tiffanywattsrealestateagent If I'm not mistaken, I think the people that run Troyer's are Mennonites.

[@mikiehashbarger8182]

We have 2 places here one in Jonesborough Tennessee and one at Bulls Gap Tennessee just down the road

[@vincentcardenas776]

My wife & I are in the process of relocating from northeast to northeast Tennessee. We are looking for a home in the Greeneville area.

How far is it from downtown Knoxville?

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

Its about 100 miles. So about 1hr and 45m.

[@luzocasio3111]

@@tiffanywattsrealestateagent thank you. I'm going planning on going sometime in November to check things out. Not looking to buy right away unless a real good deal comes up. I would like to meet with you when I go. Meanwhile how's the job market and rents looking for a studio or one bedroom. Moving from FL just me and my Chihuahua.

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

@@luzocasio3111 You're welcome! Awesome, yeah...Just let me know once you find out when in November you'll be in town and we can meet at my office in Johnson City. There are a lot of places around here hiring but I will warn you, it is hard to find rentals. I will help in any way I can though. :)

Hi Tiffany, thank you for your informative videos. I live on Long Island and am retiring next summer. I will be ready to make my move and am trying to get a feel for the area. While this isn't my primary concern, my online research on the alcohol laws in the area has been a bit confusing. I have read that Johnson City is dry but you can still purchase certain types of alcohol. I believe you can order a beer at a restaurant but not a liquor such as whisky or vodka? A quick synopsis of the alcohol rules would be most helpful. Thanks.

[@tiffanywattsrealestateagent]

You're welcome! Although I'm not familiar with Washington County alcohol laws...I do know that it isn't a dry county. I tried to google alcohol laws but I'm not finding any good resources. Wish I could help more.

[@sarahsmile9212]

I wouldn’t consider a Ma and Pa place a “hole in the wall“

[@larrelwhite7892]

don't move to Johnson city TN i lived here since 2016 and i finally can afford to move out. i asked locals what happened to this part of Tennessee they said its because of the people moving from California new York Chicago new jersey and all the blue state Democratic people bringing there bullshit with them to Johnson city trust me you will see there medical centers and hospitals are the worst i was told also by locals they agree people ain't friendly only very few to none good luck on Johnson city not for me 💯 👍

[@jamesheath5825]
