- Clarksville, Tennessee might not be on your radar yet, but it should be, and it's Money's No. 1 Best Place to Live in 2019. To all the millennials moving in, the city of about 160,000 people is a place they can afford to plant down roots. The average age of a Clarksville resident is only 29, almost a decade younger than the state of Tennessee as a whole. And guess what? They're actually buying houses.

How about a video featuring the rest of Clarksville not just 2 square miles of the down town area?
They left New Prov out
^^^this
On god
They forgot to mention how the river smells like raw sewage as well...
i guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
I lived here for 15 years too overcrowded traffic sucks it over grew itself along time ago oh and the crime is high
Scotty Kilmer is moving to clarksville... you lucky people got the coolest mechanic ever haha
I need a mechanic
@@steveboyd3551 go to the scotty Kilmer channel and see what's up brooo
That is a very cool place to live!
How do u know? I thought he moved to East Tennessee but maybe I missed it in one of his videos.
@@Ang.0910 he said so in his videos. Maybe you misremembered the exact state!
Promotional add, Clarksville has a high sales tax, allot of petty crime problems, the jail is over capacity, and the schools are rough, it’s out grown its ability manage its problems.
Can you recommend the best places in east Tennessee?
Thank you for the truth.
most of the highschools are pretty good
Isn't the sales tax in Clarksville the same as the rest of the state of tennessee? Which is over 9%.
I googled their crime rate, see below
The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Clarksville is 1 in 28. Based on FBI crime data, Clarksville is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to Tennessee, Clarksville has a crime rate that is higher than 83% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.
I don't know why my comments keep getting deleted. I guess they don't like people being honest when they say CLARKSVILLE SUCKS.
I thinking of moving. Why does it suck?
Thanks for the video. I've been looking into this area
@Tracy Jones thanks
Is this close to Nashville?
Can somebody tell me why is t so dark in Clarksville TN? The street lights are either dim are off all together. I am in the city limits but I feel like I am in the country. And don’t forget to talk about the tornados.
Looking for areas to retire to. According to AreaVibe, Clarksville, TN is rated F in crime. No thanks.
Uuuuu ! 😵😵😵😵
I'm from Manchester, Tennessee home of Bonnaroo, and I gotta say Clarksville is an amazing place to be it's so beautiful in some areas!!
I was stationed there for three years.
I WAS SAFER BACK IN NEW YORK.
While I’ve been in New York, two speeding tickets, nothing more.
While in Clarksville, my car was broken into twice, ID stolen once, had a gun pulled on me & my house was robbed three times.
By the way, if the locals don’t kill you, the boredom will.
Thanks for telling me this! I got a job offer in TN
I'm now declining it
You mean safer in New York State...huge difference Francis. And if you mean Drum..sigh...you're comparing a metro area to a lack thereof.
Brother I’ve been living here my whole life and I’ve never been robbed, never had a gun pointed at me, but there is a lotta drug use, and if you were bored that’s on you there’s a lot of stuff to do and see, and it’s got a great downtown, I understand if you don’t love it but some of these things are just your opinion or you being unlucky.
We get this your displays but save her back in New York what part of New York? Certainly not New York City! Sorry you had a string of bad luck but I'm sure that's not overall consensus.
I love Clarksville... I love fishing down there by my dads house... it's off of Peaches Mill Road. I was in Clarksville back in the late 80's when Governor's Mall was just being finished. and there was a bridge on 41a
I don’t like it and there is nothing to do in Clarksville it’s not for me and I’m moving back to my home state and city.
thats right theres nothing to do but go to the pools in the summer
Aye tell em to come back!!
Clarksville is the new Detroit. Industry moving in... Carpetbaggers moving in... Crime moving in... High taxes moving in...
Literally a shooting every day. Seems like nobody is talking about some of the highest violent crime rates because it is being swept under the rug.
Cost of living is out of control now. 5 years ago you could buy a house for under 100,000... now shithole ramblers in shithole neighborhoods are in excess of 150,000.
Clarksville is the new Detroit. You are officially warned.
Property value of a city going up is a good thing, it means people want to move in and stay in Clarksville.
When's the last train to Clarksville?
I’ve lived here my whole life. Yeah..no..
Ahh cmon Britt ! 😵😬😁😁
Bwaha- elaborate!
@@jayteesgear Whole lot of crime, lots of gang violence.
If you want to go work at a factory or warehouse 45 minutes away clarksville is you. Jobs are not totally easy to get there unless you you plan on working in a restaurant or fast food for the rest of your life. If you even try looking for a job all people will recommend is the “military” I’ve met the slimiest people in my life living here for almost 5 years. I have never been so happy moving AWAY.
Forgot the kloud27 local skateshop right down strawberry alley.
I'm only here to read the comments
1:11 Fun fact, now in 2022, My dad made the decals/stickers for the copper petal
What is the average one to two bedroom house cost?
I lived in Clarksville when I was married it was ok. Just wish I could have gotten see more of Nashville. I'm now back in my home town.
Nice to meet you on here. Carrie 🤗
@@mokegraham8056 nice meeting you
@@carriewhite2378 You're welcome Carrie 🤗.
Your profile photo really got me attracted to you. Hope you dont mind if we be friends...?
@@mokegraham8056 ok but I'm not adding anymore people
I’ve been living in Clarksville since I could remember
Was that a subliminal message, when it said “Damn Yankees” on the marquis, towards the end of the video? Through the whole video I’m thinking... wow! This looks like a beautiful place to retire. These people seem to be my kind of people! And then I see the marquee, and it says “Damn Yankees”. And I think to myself, they’ll never like me when they hear my yankee accent. I’m the “Damn Yankee”!
This is satire.
It's okay. Somewhere in Eastern Tennessee would have been my choice.
I just moved to Clarksville in July and I have hard time adjusting. It’s a nice city but it’s not for me. I have decided to move back to my original state and city.
Where are you originally from
Amelia Cordero I’m from Chicago, IL
Ok
Chicago
I'll never move back to Clarksville.
Moved there in ‘89 for my dads job and stayed a year! My mom said get me the h- outta here! Lol!!! We are in MN now and have been for 25 years. I’m 37. Shoutout to Ms. Patsy Trotter my first grade teacher! I see she’s passed! Mayors wife, too. She was my favorite teacher. 😥😩
Don't forget the over population, yes it's grown but the infrastructure is still the same. business, resteruants, houses still no sidewalks and no neighborhoods don't count. Technical you should be able to walk from one end of the city to the other if you so desire. The traffic is a nightmare you can't get anywhere in this city when school a out or works done. 10min drive can turn into 30to 45 depending the time of day and if there is an accident which is every day pretty much the hole city is gridlocked. Not enough roads to bypass the school zone traffic nightmare or the constant accidents. And lastly how many stinking car dealerships, matriss firms, and check in to cash places does this city need cause honestly those three things describes Clarksville better than anything. I do have more to say just not enough space.
Please feel free to continue I'm the comments section.
A lot of us look to find affordable housing, but find that although housing might be cheaper, there's a big compromise I'm safety and qualities of life.
@@JackMeyHoffer562 Don’t move to Clarksville, you will regret it… I know I do. Crime, traffic, too many homes but nothing to do here and businesses are mainly outdated. Also noise is a huge issue. Stay away from Tiny Town Rd if you do come out here due to noise and accidents EVERY DAY.
💗Love it ! I will consider it for the near future. I cherish in my thoughts a community of nice people in harmony with nature; IDEAL but possible !
💜 Tenesee ! 👍💯✔️👏👏👏👏👏
I suggest you read some of the comments on here before you make a move to Clarksville. It's nothing what this video shows. This video does not show you the real Clarksville.
I love it 🥰I bought a house 🏡 a little over a year ago and it is amazing... my neighborhood is nice and quiet. I hope it stays that way. Since all the recognition, I’m sure everyone will be moving here now... UGH, shhhh be quiet 🤐 😂💕
What neighborhood??????🤨
Not sure I would worry about a mass ingress.
Miss; what is with all these - comments ?! 😵✔️🙏
I love the way they leave out the high crime rate, I've lived in Dallas, Atlanta, and Las Vegas but yet I'm still amazed at how much crime exists here. Child Support System is highly flawed, not to mention the odd amount of inmate deaths. The Cumberland is a cesspool of bacteria due to the fact that waste water is drained into it, signs are literally posted on Riverside guardrails. The only true shopping area is Wilma Rudolph and that road is always congested, there is a one story mall, a Target and 3 Walmart, each one is over crowded on the weekends. Madison St and the Sango area is the perfect place for anyone looking to hit a pedestrian who decides to just cross out in the middle of nowhere, and don't get me started on New Providence and 101. Anyone who thinks this place is the best place to live has to be able to afford to live up near Dunbar Cave, cause they have on some rose colored glasses
Plus they closed the enema clinic on the bypass. Now where are we supposed to get our bowels cleaned?
oh damn
@@donwayne1357 Just go to the River Walk.....the smell will fit right in.
You're tripping if you think the crime is worse than ATL or Vegas.. i moved here from LA and the fact that there's almost no graffiti, you can go inside the gas station music blasting and car running and not worry about getting car jacked means you're safe. There are few sketchy spots but nothing compared to East LA or even Downtown LA...
Y'all making it sound like Clarksville bangs hard..
Love Clarksville. I went to Montgomery Central middle school and high school but live back in Texas now but love both states.
This video does not show you clarksville at all! This is just a few blocks worth and it is very one sided. Dont base your move on this drivel!
Hello Jane 👋. Your comments and profile photo really got me attracted to you. Nice to meet you on here 🤗
I'm all for some change, just don't California my Tennessee
I’m weak she said it’s so safe out here lmao 😂🤦♂️
It depends on which side of town ur in tbh
@@a1abamaman Yes other than the Sango area....you are in unsafe territory. Which, in turn, leaves the entire rest of the city.
@@delta212cpdClarksville is super safe compared to cities surrounding LA. It's not that bad bro trust me. Other than Kraft St and Providence up to the Rural King I feel 100x safer than my old neighborhood. No graffiti, no real active gang banging.. there aren't even any other sets to beef with like bloods/crips and the tons of Hispanic gangs that beef over territory.
Clarksville is leave it beaver where I come from, maybe some of y'all never been outside TN but seriously it ain't bad at all when you've lived elsewhere
I am thinking of moving to Tennessee and was torn between Clarksville (which was recommended to me) and Chattanooga. Any thoughts on Chattanooga?
Better!!
It is truly all about perspective. I was contemplating Chattanooga as well as Clarksville. Chattanooga is definitely more busy because it's at a crossroads and one of the larger cities in Tennessee. And the truth is is that has areas that are depressed and higher crime as opposed to other areas that they're hardly is any crime. Ask yourself what you want in the city. The truth is in both towns you can get whatever you need and some of what you want. What do you want? The larger cities are always going to cost you more. I watch real estate regularly and yes the prices have increased in Clarksville but nothing like Eastern Tennessee. The house is in the past 2 years have literally tripled and quadrupled. While in Clarksville I see they've doubled and yet they're still reasonable. Chattanooga real estate has increased as well. I think both places are very natural but I think Chattanooga has more to do in nature. You are literally a hop away from Atlanta, Knoxville and Nashville. It's not a city that we're going to move to that doesn't have crime so you have to decide what city you want to live your life in and what neighborhood. Good luck.
I remember when this article came out, I was very proud of my town that day!!!
Only 'that' day, eh. Yeah, I get that.
Once, I took the last train to Clarksville
I moved to Clarksville in 86' and have lived here 25 of the past 34 years since. I love it here... Low cost of living but good paying jobs... A great place to have a family
It is definitely a wonderful town
I just moved and im more used to Davidson and Williamson county
Sango is the safe side, downtown is not as big as they’re making it seem, tons of car washes, but no sidewalks in neighborhoods and the crime is ridiculous
There was a double murder in Sango a few weeks ago.
Now that California people saw this it won’t be anymore.
They are ruining my Idaho too.
Clarksville is my home town and my mother live there until she pass away, but I would not live in Clarksville because weather wise its a hard city to live in and the weather there really sucks because it gets so cold with snow and ice and with a lot of rain during the winter.
Corey Irwin, UHHH have you lived anywhere else???? Most of the country gets way more snow!
What about tornadoes
@@jesus1sl0rd56 , tornado activity is minimal. I grew up in Oklahoma and compared to there, its nothing. The weather is one of the things I love about the area.
Yeah we get those too and everything gos out for days.
carol and james miller live there oh boy do they not appreciate home or maybe jimmy sister may visit
My home town...miss it so much, my husband is military and I have lived in Texas, Hawaii, Washington state, and now georgia...but no place like home ❤
No freaking way. Between the "mason" vehicle tags, and the army goons ... No WAY would I move there. My grandkids have been there a while ... and I'm waiting for them to blow the heck away. The town was hit hard about 20 years ago. Gotta be stupid to stay ... In my opinion.
Not my favorite place to live! The traffic is horrible, its cheaper than Nashville but its getting costly to live here. The crime rate is bad too. So unless you are military dont bother moving here. Im looking forward to getting out of here and moving back to Utah!
Abysmal location. We hate it here. My poor kids are so bored. Tell me why every business along the water is a loan shark or bail bondsmen?! Why there isnt 1 nice restaurant or something is beyond me. Even the “popular” food joints are garbage. Cost of living is average but thats because the place is surrounded by meth labs and crappy infrastructure. The homes all look like Gru’s house from the minion movies and everything is grey. Speaking of homes, we never leave ours anymore
Where's New Providence?
That review was nothing more than a waste of my time and your film. Poorly executed
How are there 150,000 people in Clarksville?
My perspective from living 20 mins outside Los Angeles near East LA hearing people talk about Clarksville and crime is a joke. I've been here 3 years now and let me tell you when you can roll up to a store on your bike and not lock it up or pull up to a gas station go inside leaving your vehicle running with music blasting and not get car jacked you're not in a bad area.. graffiti is almost non existent vs going to any public bathroom in California where the walls, toilet seats and mirrors are all tagged up .
I guess to locals it could be bad but the crime here is almost non existent with respect to certain areas which are somewhat isolated like Kraft ast etc.. imagine Kraft St or Providence BL from Riverside up to Rural King but it's the whole city you live in plus all surrounding cities but you actually have active gangs beefing. As far as I can tell theres mainly just Blood sets here, now imagine LA and the tons of Hispanic gangs all rocking south side but beefing between sets and gangs.. on top that the drug problems youd probably find in downtown Nashville and homelessness are in every city. Pan handlers everywhere, tweakers and dope fiends..
Again it's all perspective so if you only lived in Clarksville it could appear bad but nothing like where I was in Cali..
They lied
And now they are going to celebrate two new holidays that will waisted even more tax money. Thank God I live in Stewart county!!
Clarksville will forever be home
Uplifting video! Clarksville sounds wonderful. Loved hearing from the friendly residents!
Money magazine ruined Clarksville! Housing prices have skyrocketed. Schools are overcrowding! Traffic is horrible. And the people who have moved here have bad attitudes.
I want to move here praying to make it happen within 5 months looks so peaceful and everything I'm looking for 😊
I just moved here 2 months ago and the city is completely boring! I laughed so hard when the elder lady said ”The nightlife is great here” I am from Fort Worth Texas and I wish I can go back. The best part of living in this boring town is that we will be moving out of here in the summer!
Rico Yale Bye
Our Mayor has already put forward legislation to raise our taxes.
This so funny to me, lived here almost my whole life and its nothing like this. Hell we got famous basketball players who lived and went to school here and they dont even claim Clarksville...
There are more manufacturing jobs than there are people who want to work
Been here since 09, want to leave so bad. Neighbours were murdered in 2014, and again in 2016, 2017, and 2019... Place is overall boring unless you're an old, retired person. And don't get me started on the poorer areas which are often overlooked and ignored, so crime there skyrockets. Hell, even a person pull a gun on my boss while at work a few weeks ago. Fun times. Yea, this place is dogshit compared to other places I've been to and lived :/
What are u smoking ?
re: Music = What's With The Drumbeat Music In Background? To Create ... Drama ?!? (yeahhh, ANNOYING !!)
Clarksville used to be a great place to live. I have lived in the area a total of just over 10 (non consecutive) years. The problem is people moving from Nashville. People moving from Nashville are bringing their problems with them. Crime is way up! Housing prices are way up! School performance is decreasing and traffic is only getting worse. This is a military community and we have standards. These standards are not being met. There have been a lot of youth breaking into cars. There have been more robberies and an increase in hit an runs. It is important to know that Clarksville is a gun totting town and I see it coming. These teenagers are going to break into some Soldier's house or car and end up dead! Mark my words it's gonna happen. If you are struggling in Nashville don't come to Clarksville. We don't want or need needy people. We don't feel sorry for people who don't/can't support themselves. However if your are educated, skilled, or a veteran it is pretty easy to make a living in town. Nashville commuters are driving up prices in Clarksville and it is hurting this town. CLARKSVILLE IS NOT A SUBURB OF NASHVILLE! Don't treat it like one. If you want to be a part of Clarksville, live and work in Clarksville, GREAT! We don't want to be Nashville, so leave your problems there!
As a native I can attest. The area around Apsu especially is dangerous. There's surprsingly a lot of shootings here every year. Memphis is only 2 hours away and that is also a dangerous place. Clarksville certainly does not have good government resources for the poor. This is why I left. No such thing as upward mobility. If you need resources just go to Nashville (that's expensive for the state).
@@montezia93 how are you getting to Memphis in 2 hours by helicopter?
@@Scott-by9ks ok i checked it's 3 hrs. A little over. But I'm assuming some people speed their way there
You're right Scott, that scenario just happened recently.
People be prepared to encounter this type of military mind set everywhere in this city... Always think their tough when they try to start fights in bars and get annihilated by the REAL "clarksvillians"
No legalized marijuana? No way jack!!
dont go back to Clarksville and waste another year
Do not believe what you read about Clarksville Tennessee It is not a friendly city I have lived here for just over a year And a new opportunity And no one talks to you if you wave they pretend they don't And no one talks to you if you wave they pretend they don't see you And there is no community So I suggest do not believe what you read about Clarksville Tennessee from the county because that's what I did So I suggest do not believe what you read about Clarksville Tennessee from the county because that's what I did And all I could say is wow It's nothing like they claim it to be
I lived there for 5 years and it’s a suck ass place to live
Lol the crime rate keeps climbing
Don't buy Clarks vull syrup !!!
Shhhhhhhhhh..........
It's so great it's being ruined
Who paid for this award. Clarksville is terrible.
i’ve lived here my whole life,and i can say clarksville sucks.
Worst place to live. Crime is super high, crowded, near nothing to do, noisy af. The place is horrible!
Looks very hipster
I am literally in this video lol
I lived in Clarksville, it’s shit.
Give it 10 years and it will be ranked the worst place to live.
What a stinking sewer.
Would you move to Clarksville?
It looks amazing. Would definitely move there since housing is so affordable. What am I doing still living in New York??
I've lived here for 22 years and it's growing too fast. Traffic is crazy, housing isn't as cheap and affordable as everyone makes it out. The down town area shown in the video is a joke, no night life that they are referring to at all. Not sure how this city made it to #1. Houses popping up all over, cheaply built stick home neighborhoods. The crime is increasing as well. I'd look elsewhere.
I would leave it.
MONEY born and raised there, left never went back.
@Brett R why is it cause you're not use to small town living I live here too but orginally from Nashville
This is a whole LIE
The two or three downtown streets do look okay but overall Clarksville is a shithole.I used to deliver there and the majority of Clarksville does not look that nice.
Crime in Clarksville, Tennessee
Crime is ranked on a scale of 1 (low crime) to 100 (high crime)
Clarksville violent crime is 35.2. (The US average is 22.7)
Clarksville property crime is 41.2. (The US average is 35.4)
I hate Clarksville, and The U.S. Army.
I don’t like it and there is nothing to do in Clarksville it’s not for me and I’m moving back to my home state and city.
If you want to go work at a factory or warehouse 45 minutes away clarksville is you. Jobs are not totally easy to get there unless you you plan on working in a restaurant or fast food for the rest of your life. If you even try looking for a job all people will recommend is the “military” I’ve met the slimiest people in my life living here for almost 5 years. I have never been so happy moving AWAY
