1. The Lifestyle Is Slower And Sweeter

Life just feels different here. People slow down, look you in the eye, and genuinely care about one another. We traded California trends for Sunday drives, front porch chats, and time around the dinner table with our kids. It’s peaceful, intentional, and full of meaning, and we’re better for it.

2. Cost of Living

This one’s huge. Compared to big metro areas like LA or San Francisco, Tennessee’s affordability is a breath of fresh air. Your dollar just stretches further here, from land and homes to groceries and gas. Whether you're building a dream home on acreage or downsizing into something simpler, you're going to get more home for your money here. 

3. No State Income Tax

 

Yep, you heard that right. Tennessee is one of the few states with no state income tax. For families, entrepreneurs, retirees, and business owners, that’s a game changer.

4. Southern Hospitality Is Real 

 

We thought we knew “friendly,” but Tennessee redefined it for us. People here hold doors open, bring you pie when you move in, and genuinely want to know your story. There’s a strong sense of community, especially in places like Franklin, where neighbors become lifelong friends.

5. A Great Place to Raise a Family

 

We’ve raised our kids here and can say firsthand that this is a wonderful place to grow up. Top-rated schools, safe neighborhoods, and strong values make Middle Tennessee one of the best places to raise a family. It’s everything we wanted when we pictured our future.
