Avoid Johnson City, Tennessee Unless You Can Handle....

Tiffany Watts

In this video, I talk about why you should avoid (moving to or living in) the Johnson City, Tennessee area...unless you can handle these things.

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!

If you're interested in real estate in Northeast Tennessee, feel free to give me a call or text: [phone]

Thanks for the info, definitely more positive than negatives to living in the tri-cities area. That's why I chose to move here from northeast Pa. Hoping to find a home in the Greenville area soon!

I grew up in Gray, I've been around J.C. all my life. It's still nice, but getting over crowded imo. I live in Stoney Creek TN for 12 years, and it's very nice sometimes the occasional addict to deal with but pros def out weigh the cons.

If folks can't handle all the things you listed they pretty much need to move out of the United States because that stuff is everywhere

I thoroughly enjoyed living near Johnson City. It's a hidden gem in TN! It was beautiful and family-friendly, and love a weekend drive through the country! 😊 🐑

Thanks for the video! Currently researching the area to help me decide whether I should apply for a position at the University.

This isn’t very convincing. I’m still moving there.

Lol! You're the first person I've heard use the term "suicide birds" other than us. must be an east of the Rockies experience. We never saw them on the West Coast but when we moved to Kansas they are everywhere! We're considering a move to your area next so we're watching lots of videos about it. Thanks for the great content you put out!

We have roadkill everywhere here in Northwest Ohio. No biggie.

The Draco Family Crest next to your head tells all you want to know about Tennessee and is plenty of reason to not move there. Halloween has unpredictable weather? You have to mow your lawns in the summer? The amount of missing children may be an actual problem.

Born and raised here and it's pretty laid back. I was surprised that roadkill was even mentioned, cause unless there's literally none other places, I've never heard it was more than normal here. Animals aren't crazy just lots of hills and winding back roads that do have deer. The wasp and bees is probably cause you have flowers in your garden. If these reasons are troubling to you don't move here. Not intolerant but we definitely aren't politically correct

Rains on the 4th of July - every time!

[markwhite]

We get way more rain in Louisiana than y’all do up there so our grass needs to be mowed every other day lol. Good Lord willing I will be moving up there in about two years.

[AgendaInMind]

Our last day here is today and we loved this area!! We will retire in 8-10 years. I have so many pics of cows on mountains! I’m excited about the access to quality beef. I’ll need a well and water softener though. City water kills my skin! Love this area and these are my kind of people!

[joewoodchuck]

I don't see any more road kill, bees, and old barns than I have anywhere else. As new residents we love JC.

[HankSmashes]

I've been living in the city for 10 years of my life so far.
Today we got our first tornado watch in 7 years.
Doesn't mean we're moving out.

[MarissaBGC]

Great talking with you today Tiffany! Thank you or your informative videos!

[devon]

Sounds a lot like SWVa, we spent 20 years there and my SO loved it

[yeseniapastor]

Ok you convinced me, I'm not moving 😂

[robertputt]

Except for the wasps, this was a promotional video for the Johnson City area as far as I'm concerned... I want to drive up there just to spend a couple of hours in Walmart calling the service desk so I can hear, "Call line one"... 😆 Thanks Tiffany... 😁 Blessings from Memphis... The real South West...
