Let’s take a look at what makes Tennessee such a great state to live!

Tennessee, also known as The Volunteer State, has a population of 6.829 million people as of 2019’s estimates. While there are a variety of reasons that you should consider moving to The Volunteer State, one of the biggest is found in the fact that the state is home to a breathtaking landscape. Although the state of Tennessee is nowhere near the ocean, it is a land of cascading waterfalls, sunlit mountains, rolling hills, and plenty of waterholes. One of the most popular locations to sit and take in Tennessee’s beauty include Sunset Rock located atop Chattanooga’s Lookout Mountain where you can see a total of three states from one vantage point: Tennessee, Alabama, and North Carolina.

Another great reason to consider moving to Tennessee is found in the fact that it holds one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation. Tennessee boasted a record-setting 25,837 jobs in 2015 which prompted Brookings Institute to rank Tennessee number one for advanced industry job growth. Tennessee is also home to nine of the largest companies in the world including Eastman Chemical, FedEx, and Dollar General. Business-friendly incentives and low business taxes have proven helpful in luring global companies to The Volunteer State.

If you’re looking for a state to further your education, Tennessee is one of the best places to do so. Home to more than 75 colleges and universities, including the University of Tennessee, University of Memphis, and Vanderbilt University where residents can receive top-rated, high quality education close to home.

Finally, another great reason to consider moving to Tennessee can be found in the fact that Tennessee is home to a strong network of hospitals and health care facilities which gives the state an edge when attracting relocating families. The city of Nashville alone boasts more than 400 health care businesses as well as St. Thomas Health, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Now that we’ve talked about Tennessee as a whole, it’s time to narrow our focus to some of the most popular towns to visit and live in Tennessee: Nashville, the state’s capital, and Memphis. Let’s start with Nashville.

Nashville has a population of 692,587 people as of 2018’s estimates. While there are many reasons that Nashville is so popular, one of the biggest is found in the fact that the city is synonymous with country music, with several important record labels based here and entertainment venues dedicated to the music, including the famous Grand Ole Opry, home of the longest-running live radio show in the world. This fact even spawned the city’s own music genre “The Nashville Sound”, which feature backing choruses and sophisticated string attachments.

While Nashville’s reputation as the home of country music tends to dominate the public perception of it, this city is, in fact, home to a large number of genres. Gospel music also has a long tradition in the city and the Johnny Cash Museum located in the city houses the largest collection of memorabilia in the world surrounding “The Man in Black”. The Nashville Symphony Orchestra performs at Schermerhorn Symphony Center while Nashville is home to a number of other great music venues including Robert’s Western World, Gray’s on Main, and Analog at Hutton Hotel.

Another reason that Nashville is so popular is found in its festivals. The annual Nashville Film Festival is one of the country’s largest and also the longest-running one in the South. Nashville’s Oktoberfest- taking place in the Germantown neighborhood, has been established for a few decades now and raises money for local non-profit organizations each year. The Tennessee State Fair is also one of the largest events in the city and takes place each year in the middle of September.

Some of the best neighborhoods to live in Nashville include Downtown, East Nashville, Sobro, Gulch, Sylvan Park, Germantown, and West End.

Next, let’s talk about Memphis. Memphis has a population of 1,150,000 people as of 2020’s estimates and many more people choose to move here each year. One of the top reasons that so many people choose to move to Memphis each year is found in its low cost of living. In Memphis, almost everything from groceries to utilities through education and recreation, is considerably cheaper in Memphis and well below the national average. Memphis’s housing, in particular, is a total of 35 percent lower than the national average. Tennessee is also home to no state income tax which means you get to keep more of what you earn in Memphis.

Another great reason to consider moving to Memphis is the city’s great job opportunities. Memphis is truly home to some of the best companies that you could possibly work for. Fortune 500 company FedEx is the city’s top job provider, employing a total of over 30,000 people living in Memphis. In fact, the company was recently featured in Forbes Magazine’s recent list of best companies to work for, along with St. Jude and Medtronic.

Finally, another reason that Memphis is such a popular place to live is found in the fact that it’s full of things to do and see. A few popular activities include a visit to the National Civil Rights Museum, Graceland, the Rock n’ Roll Museum, The University of Memphis’ Museum of Art, and The Memphis Zoo, which is considered one of the best zoos in the nation and is free to attend on Tuesdays.

Some of the best neighborhoods to live in Memphis include Central Gardens, Cooper-Young, Hernando, Harbor Town on Mud Island, and Germantown.
