We arrived in Middle TN (not Nashville) in late July. It is truly better here. Culture, natural beauty and cost of living. We came from SoCal, and have no regrets. I even like the weather better. 4 seasons is wonderful. One thing to keep in mind if someone is coming from a place like SoCal: leave your old state culture behind. Embrace and assimilate. It is better here for a reason, so embrace it and do NOT try to change it to be more like where you came from.

Very informative video. Getting near retirement and considering a less expensive state to move to.

[jeanlanz]

Very thorough overview. I appreciate the time stamps. Thank you and God bless you.

[DKP-ft]

Very helpful. Looking to move to TN in late 2025! Thank you

[Parismel]

2 more retirees coming next year! Just bought 9 acres in Morgan County and we cannot wait to build our little house with a mountain view and away from the chaos of this society!

[karinagornyy]

what cities do you recommend living for more country side ?

[jennsappalachianden]

Knoxville is too crowded! There’s smaller towns close to there with the same type of conveniences. Morristown, Greeneville, Rogersville, Kingsport.

[jesssands]

I love ❤ TN. I went to Uni of Memphis. I’ve lived in Eastern Tn too. I love ❤❤ TN

[LaxCats]

Born in Knoxville Graduated HS in Memphis and now live in Chattanooga....I love Knoxville the most but if you want a mix of scenic and city life Chattanooga has that Hybrid style the most I feel! As far as weather goes in Chattanooga with the mountains surrounding us, it acts as a barrier against most severe weather.

Hello Brenna, I just came across this video😊. Was wondering about religion, mostly Christian?

[cb]

Thank you for talking honestly about the tornadoes! None of the TN realtors on YouTube bother to address this. 31 tornadoes per year is no small amount. It's one of the biggest downsides!

[pjthomas]

I'm thinking about leaving California for Tennessee ASAP. Tennessee is beeeeautiful!!!

[Misterjax]

How are the school systems out there? At the middle school and high school level

[CassandraHucke]

We would love a mountainous town to raise our family and build a small farm, fruit trees, and garden. We are looking for the best town for preschools, eventually to homeschool. I lived in Fayetteville but looking for something closer to at least 2 bigger cities, great healthcare for our elderly family who will be moving in with us, close to international airports, and plenty of things to do for kids. Any advice would be great. We have been looking at Cookeville, Maryville, or another city we may have missed.

What if you don’t drive, where would you live close to store for seniors

[Kyriecat]

June to August?! Yea right ... summer started at least May here this year. Gawd Lordy i cant wait for summer to end. It's so hot lol

[yi]

Check out the city or town you are considering, the recent hurricanes has devastated several towns and cities near North Carolina
