Nashville, TN
Nashville has a population of 545,549 and has long been noted as the state's center of government and the world's center for Country Music. Excellent public and private education, no state income tax, an overall low property tax rate, a favorable work force, along with Tennessee state government's aggressive pursuit of businesses to relocate to the area, have led many national companies to call the Middle Tennessee home. This diverse business climate now includes HCA, Nissan, Dell, BellSouth, and Saturn. Additionally, the regional draw of the Tennessee Titans NFL football team and the Nashville Predators NHL hockey team facilitates the recruitment of employees throughout the United States.
Downtown Nashville offers some of the best dining and entertainment options in the city. The area is great for people who are fed up with spending their lives parked on an interstate. If you are new to the area and want to live in a place where there is always a lot of action than Downtown Nashville is the place for you. This area is great for those who are sick of the small town life. There is plenty of opportunities for work, growth and just going out to have fun.
With an eclectic mix of students, professionals and musicians, midtown downtown Nashville is filled with many of Nashville's most popular nightclubs, restaurants and shops. It's a small drive away from Vanderbilt and Belle Meade and is readily accessible to interstates. Joggers run down West End Avenue from dawn until midnight and the street is bustling with commuters coming to dine, take in a hockey game or concert or go to Centennial Park.
With a large African-American population, Edgehill is one of Downtown Nashville's most diverse neighborhoods. It's near Music Row, West End and Belmont. Victorian homes along tree-lined streets attract a lot of music business types and the proximity to Belmont and Vanderbilt University makes Edgehill home to many students.
In the last several years, city planners and developers have been coaxing people to move downtown. From relatively inexpensive apartments to luxury high-rise apartments, downtown also offers an interesting mix of people. If you live downtown, you can walk to a concert at Riverfront Park, a honky-tonk on Lower Broad and maybe even to work. Plus, the area offers some of the best police protection in the city.
