Wife and I live in Pennsylvania. We have been, over the past several years, checking out different potential retirement locations; Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and lately Tennessee. Our daughter and her family live just north of Atlanta. As we have traveled between Pennsylvania and Atlanta, we have made many stops between, including Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and some of the countryside around there. We love the Smokies. We are accustomed to the small-town environment, however we want to be in close proximity to a city that offers plenty of things to do in our retirement, and access to a good health care system in our senior years. We have been taking a strong look at the Eastern TN area from Knoxville and eastward. On our list to explore is the Chattanooga area. Our daughter wants us to move to North Georgia, but the fact that Tennessee does not tax my retirement is an appealing feature.

I live in southeast middle Tennessee. Born and raised. I have visited all 95 counties over the last 3 years and this state is like 3 states. Each division (east, middle and west) are like different places. There are alot of hidden gems throughout the state and some very interesting and friendly people in every county. If you are going to move here, I would recommend taking the time and visiting as much of the state as you can so you can find where suits you best. There are pros and cons of living anywhere in the state so be sure to do your research and maybe go spend a week in the town you like to see what it is really like before moving in.

Thank you for your presentation on TN. With a background as a professional 'Hollywood' producer, director and especially film and video editor, please take my comments as constructive. I had to stop the video to re-hear where you live. Not sure what is causing your sound problem but I can offer 25+years in editing to suggest a couple of options. One, a cheap laptop mic. If so, consider a good Sony mic. Two, your room is creating an echo. Place (sound or household) blankets around you that are not seen on camera. They will deaden that room sound 'bounce'. Third, consider an EQ mixer to lower you voice slightly. You will come off much easier to understand. I am glad to hear what you had to say as we are considering TN as a place we want to create a film production center and hire young people wanting to learn on the job professional film productions. Thank you for the time you spent making this well thought out and informative introduction to beautiful Tennessee!!!

I have visited Las Vegas, Los Angeles , San Diego, San Francisco, Mexico, Denver, Salt lake city, Portland, Seattle etc. The first 3 are easy short drives but the rest are to far to travel on a weekend by car. I want to be able to drive 2-6 hours and be in a different state\city. When I traveled to the East coast by car I was surprised how short distances were from major cities. I am in the process of selling everything and then will plan 2 trips to Tennessee in summer and winter. Because here we have mild winter and scorching summers. I have to experience the humidity and cold weather. I watch all you videos and also get n Zillow and see what is available and price ranges. This might take me a year to get completely ready to make this move but I'm excited and kinda have anxiety. Thanks for the videos they are inspiring for me to make my move.

When and where exactly did you buy a house with that much average for $150k??

Very good video. I'm from Massachusetts where the Cost of Living is 38% higher then the national average. Homes average around 500k now a days. I've travelled into Boston for work for the past 20 years. Unless it's a holiday your going to be on the road for 1.5 hours each way even on a good day. Forget Summer holiday weekends it could be 3 hours just to get home. I'm getting closer to retirement age and I have a cousin who lives in Eastern Tenn. I hope to go visit. It sounds like the word is out about Tenn with the population growth. I have been doing my research and it was definitely one of the top 3 choices. However I am not a big fan of traffic go figure and when I retire I definitely don't want to sit in traffic.

Any love or ideas for the west part of the state? I am thinking about retiring in a couple years. I want to move to TN long enough to establish residency, while also seeing the country. After that, I'll probably become an expat and do some slow traveling. When in TN, I'd like to rent, and be near the Amtrak line thru the western part of the state. Ideally, also close to a decent airport. I was looking at Memphis, but the crime rate concerns me. Right now, I am considering Martin or Union City. Wouldn't be too far from the Amtrak station in Fulton. Also on the list is Dyersburg/Newbern area. Any thoughts about any of these locations?

I'm born and raised in Knoxville and in the 7 months since you posted your video home prices in Knoxville have risen to levels I have never seen before. The price for a 3 bedroom 2 bath home in a safe neighborhood is around $450,000, and apartments are ranging from $2000-6200 per month for a 3 bedroom. The traffic is absolutely horrendous with no current plans from TDOT to address the issue. We seem to be losing our workforce due to these prices as retirees move in to take their place in our community. While we welcome new residents it is causing a shift in our industries to more service type industries which are more historically minimum wage, and cannot sustain living in Knoxville. There has been a majority of our low income residents moving to the Crossville area because they can no loner afford rents in the Knoxville Metro area. We have been looking to relocate to the Nashville area to take advantage of the higher wages which average 35% higher than Knoxville. While home prices in some regions around Nashville are comparable to Knoxville.

Basically, it's usually as simple as don't leave your car doors unlocked and no one is going to steal the change out of your car for drug money. Coming from suburban Atlanta, it has been such a nice transition. There is not much violent crime, you don't hear ambulances all the time, and people tend to look out for their neighbors. Overall, this is a quaint city of retirees with over half the population age 65+.

I still can’t decide! I’ve been researching TN for months now. Trying to decide where to move and I can’t decide between Knoxville or Chattanooga or Nashville suburbs. I’m definitely not a city girl but I can’t even decide what city to live NEAR! Haha! I’m plagued by the paradox of choice 🫣

How would you rate Tellico Village ?

Spring city area ?? Looking there at some properties?? Any input from locals?

I live in Post falls Idaho which is north panhandle area. Cost of living up here is considerably higher, I saw a house for rent yesterday three bedrooms and 3500 rent monthly. It's not an updated home, it was probably 10 to 15 years old. Not on the water but near a lake. No other features like schools or anything like that would boost the economy of this house in my opinion

I want to move to Decatur

Hi Brenna, I’m visiting Murfreesboro in a couple days to take a look around to see if it’s somewhere I could live. I’m a health care worker, single, and looking to meet new people. School zone is not important as my son is an adult. What areas would you recommend to look into besides Murfreesboro?

Hi there! I would recommend you check out a few places over here: Spring Hill, Mount Juliet, Hendersonville, Franklin, and Bellevue. What are you looking for in a community?

Same here. I am wanting to move from FL to TN. I need housing to buy under 200k. Want a neighbirhood not in the boonies but away from excess traffic. I would like a big lot with good size yard. Not too far from shopping and such.

How is the internet in the rural areas of East Tennessee? Thinking East Tennessee is where we want to retire.

I’m looking at moving to Jefferson City. What do you think of that town?

I live in New Market which is just right before Jefferson City it's actually in the same county which is Jefferson County and its a little town not a bad place to live pretty safe and fairly cheap there is Carson Newman University there and a few restaurants and Walmart, Lowes, food City , everything is pretty much walking distance.

i would move to east side.

north east I go bless

Seems like Tennessee is a nice place that might be getting crowded. It's getting crowded enough here in Northern Kentucky,I hope we don't get as crowded as Tennessee. Seems like what a short time ago would have been a good wage (after my Promotion at work) now don't go as far. I think Tennessee and Kentucky have a fair amount in common so I hope your State don't get ruined.

Live in Knoxville but grew up in West Tennessee. Still prefer West Tennessee, flat but beautiful. One other thing East Tennessee is in the Eastern time Zone, Middle Tennessee is in the Central time Zone.

Cost of living is alot lower and traffic is less good checks in the column thanks for the posts

been in Nashville for 34 years....the severe weather is SO over-hyped on some videos. Just like it is for Florida. I'm 63 and have been through two major weather disasters....once in PA in 1972 when the remnants of Hurricane Agnes flooded over 3 days and also again here in Nashville in 2010 when rains flooded everything. Every few years here you may have to actually watch for a tornado but the vast majority of the time the local stations are just hyping "possible rotations" far up in the clouds that turn out to be nothing. Your biggest health risk here is gonna be the drivers on the interstates....and the high carb Southern cooking :-)

I’m planning a move to Franklin, TN. I’m terrified of tornadoes, and bees. I’ve been told wasps and carpenter bees are everywhere and problematic. Is that true? Moving because my family all relocated to TN but I’ve only been once in late Fall. I’m from Las Vegas, NV

Welcome to the area! Franklin is such a wonderful place to live! I hope you enjoy it. We do have a lot of bugs here including wasps and carpenter bees during the summer time. However there are ways of dealing with carpenters bees and the damage they do. I live by the saying "they don't want to have anything to do with you as much as you'd don't want anything to do with".

As a beekeeper myself i can tell you carpenter bees are solitary and do not swarm. like any insect they may fly by you, but i live in the woods and have had them around me for years and never once had an issue with them. honeybees for which i manage on my property are too busy doing their jobs to be concerned with people. typically you only get stung by one of those if you are out barefoot in the yard full of clover and step on one. when bees swarm, they are relocating, not swarming to sting people. this is the time honeybees are the most docile. now wasps on the other hand, can and will sting people if they get to close to their nests, but again unless you bother them they will let you be. bees are very important for the environment and are often misunderstood. you will be fine moving to Franklin!

@@jethrobodine4638 ohhhh thank you! Honeybees I’m actually not afraid of those as much. Love them and their hard work I know they aren’t interested in me they are busy with flowers. The wasps and hornets though I’m afraid of big time and people I’ve spoken with might just be trying to scare me (thinking it’s funny) since I have a real phobia (was attacked as a small child by hornets - I did not provoke them or was playing near a hive). I just don’t know what people mean when they say we have a lot. What is a lot? Like more than I’m used to in Las Vegas or Southern California or is it similar? Carpenter bees we have lots of those in Las Vegas too. Hate them because they dart at me and get in my hair. One time one landed and sat on my shoulder. I completely freaked out. Hahahahah! They seem to like me for some reason and I try to ignore them and stay out of their way. Since you are a beekeeper I’m curious do you see Africanized bees in middle Tennessee? I definitely would not mind leaving those guys behind in NV/CA. They are aggressive little creatures. BESIDES the wasps and bees I am excited for TN and the friendly people.

@@LikeTotallyKelly no Africanized honey bees in my area that I have seen! I understand the carpenter bees darting about but never had a sting or heard of one from others. Usually not aggressive in that way. I would not think wasps numbers would be any different in Franklin. When I see a wasp nest being built around my house structure I spray them from a distance. Then knock down the nest. If that’s not your thing…. Phone a friend! Lol

I moved back to my home state of Ohio from Kingsport, TN. in 2021. I was so sick of the horrible chemical smell of Eastman Chemical Company. That company has ruined the whole area with their noxious stench. If it weren't for that, Kingsport would have been a pretty nice place to live.
