If you’re considering buying a place there, check the local property taxes first. We didn’t, and found that we had to pay property taxes to both the city and the county. Those who lived outside the city limits had much lower taxes.

Thanks for the advice!

True.

Mountains? Or more plains?

There are low lands around the Mississippi River, but the views from places like Gatlinburg will take your breath away.
Gorgeous state.

👆 I meant the mountain areas, G is in the Smokies

Cool! What was your experience with tornadoes?

Tennesseans complain about tornadoes, but they don’t know what they’re talking about. The weather is mild compared to where I grew up in Oklahoma. Never saw a tornado the whole time I lived there.

That’s good to hear! Anything else more specific you liked/disliked about it?

Oof.

I lived in Memphis where the most crime happens. The crime is mostly in certain bad neighborhoods. If you avoid them, it’s fine.

Smokey Mountains sounds beautiful!

DSH- stay away from Nashville. It has one of the highest crime rates in America.

Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of major cities anyways...thanks for telling me EB! What about the outskirts of Nashville?

Nashville is just like any major city. It has good areas and bad areas. Look how many people go to New Orleans to Bourbon Street. No problem there but 6 blocks away and you are in a world of hurt.

Yes Glock that’s true about Nashville. However, the state as a whole is crime ridden.
