Nashville is a great town. Lived there for a while and we've talked about moving back in a few years. No state income tax but sales tax is around 10% Housing market is real hot right now so cost-of-living might be up there but still should be better than bigger cities.

Rusty63 · 03-13-2018, 07:49 PM

Thanks for reply slowcpe, our sales tax up here is 13% and about 20-40% income tax,depending on bracket,that sounds good down there!,i am hoping he will go for a trip down there to check it out first..

harpo231 · 03-13-2018, 08:29 PM

It's still a city,like any there are bad parts, but many areas surrounding it are beautiful....

**davischevy** · 03-13-2018, 09:59 PM

I think he will like it. The people there are great.

It's a city but there are plenty of places outside Nashville to live.

**special-K** · 03-13-2018, 10:52 PM

He could do well on price of a place in the outlying areas or nearby towns/cities. But I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed this thread isn't more musical.

**davischevy** · 03-13-2018, 11:00 PM

K, you should get a hearing test.

The rest of us can hear it.

The Springfield area is nice ,out in the country but still close to the city . I have thought about moving there after my working days are over , have lots of friends up that way.

harpo231 · 03-14-2018, 12:03 PM

Madison is a nice suburb...

**davischevy** · 03-14-2018, 12:07 PM

slowcpe · 03-14-2018, 12:59 PM

Goodlettsville is known to have a pretty cool truck show.

cypressbog · 03-14-2018, 01:37 PM

Even if he gets as far away as Hendersonville, He will never want to return to the great white north der hey?

**davischevy** · 03-14-2018, 02:17 PM

After paying taxes like that, anyplace is cheaper to live..

I vacationed there many years ago and really liked it..

I lived in Old Hickory for a while.
It's a beautiful place to be,especially in the fall when all the hickory trees turn gold.
It does snow a little,but it's not a problem.
Lots of classic cars and trucks there too!
