    Lol!!! I live on $740 a month on SS. I'm retired and live alone here in eastern Tennessee. I receive no help from anyone however I survive. I would have liked to have owned my own home with a garden and a few chickens ,but ,sadly, i rent a house instead. Luckily my rent is cheap $600 a month with no gov funding. It's clean and decorated with things I love. I drive a 93 Chevy truck my only vehicle. I'm not complaining. Life is what u make of it. I paint paintings, love my cat, hike, yard sale, go camping and have food on the table. It may not be steak nor meat every nite but I eat. I receive a few food stamps but since I have SS income its not as much. My town has a population of 3500. Im thankful for what I have tho. As long as I'm capable of taking care of myself I hope to live out my life here God willing lol .

How does the summer heat and humidity of Eastern or NE Tennessee compare to Middle Tennessee? Thanks!

      My utilities alone would swallow up that remaining $140, and my car insurance is more than that, jacked over the past 3 years from about $75 to $202, and it is a 2007 sedan with just shy of 200K miles (was a commute car). But $600 to rent a house is amazing, and in my area, a 1 bedroom apartment is about $1,100 on up and renting a 3 bedroom house, about $3,200.
      Thank God I bought my house years and years ago, and my payment, with just about 4 years left, is less than anyone pays for rent. They gentrified my 'hood, and no way could I buy into it at the rates they go for now. A neighbor bought a house on the block a couple of years ago and paid $100,000 over the asking price because of a bidding war. Crazy.
      And too many fleeing Californians are moving in, I'd like to go away. Their attitudes and behavior is abominable. They wreck their state, then go running to conservative states to go wreck them as well. I'd prefer they lie in the bed they made, personally.. I'd be a good addition to TN, I would not bring what they do not want there, for sure.

    Good summary. One pro that was omitted was that Tennessee is a free state. This was very obvious during the Covid hysteria that hit much of the country. Tennessee did not overreact like many states did. Tennessee is a very conservative state. If you are a Conservative, you will probably like it here. If you consider yourself progressive, or liberal, or left, not so much.

    I've lived in Tennessee for 45 years and have traveled most of the U.S. Coming home is always something that brings a comfort the minute I cross the state line. Sweet tea, southern accents, and southern cooking are my favorites. We enjoy a mild climate most of the year and seldom see much snow. Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga, and Knoxville seem to be melting pots, so you're likely to experience people groups from all around the world. However, taking a country drive to places off the beaten path will help you discover places that time hasn't touched in 50 years.

    I moved to southern middle TN 9 months ago because this is where I want to live out my remaining time on earth. I was the very first generation born outside of TN 57 years ago as my mom's family is from eastern TN, dads family from west TN. I now live in a very wooded hilltop area which is beautiful every which way you look. Although I live an hour south of Nashville, I have to work in and around Nashville which is a long commute in extremely heavy traffic every morning and afternoon. The reward of course is when I arrive home in Lewis County which is beautiful every where you look. As for cost of living and especially insurance, it is outrageously high but I've made up my mind that my life is much better down here versus the rat race I lived up in Indiana. I should've moved here decades ago but I was so busy with work that there was no time to think about upending my life and moving south. Well I finally did it and thrilled with my new life and job. I hit the ground running when I moved here but sadly I'm only making 1/3rd the income I was used to and that is the price I had to pay and have to live with. I don't have the resources I was used to but now I have a life which I never had before due to work and approaching my 60's, it was an acceptable trade-off. I'm in a good place now and I'm happy.

      There are times though when traffic in Gatlinburg can be an absolute nightmare. It is often faster to walk through the main drag than to drive. If you come during a busy time, study maps and figure out the alternate routes around town. Also, during busy times waits to get into a restaurant in town can take a long, long time. Research in advance and get on a wait list before even heading to go eat.

I'm coming from the perspective of someone who has lived in 15 different states and has moved around quite a bit, so I've got a pretty good idea of what I like and what I don't like. It's enormous--so it may depend on where you live. I live in Corpus Christi which is extremely different from the rest of Texas. My main desire to leave Texas is the lack of natural beauty (from my own subjective preference) and how far away I am from literally everything. I personally find Texas to be very, very ugly but I like mountains, trees, rivers, lakes, greenery. Texans will argue there are lots of beautiful parts of the state (including Big Bend, The Hill Country and even Corpus Christi where I live ... I just hate the beach lol), but having grown up in Colorado and Hawaii I'm just spoiled when it comes to my perception of beauty I guess. lol. I also miss seasons ... the climate here is super hot and I'm miserable most of the year. The culture is not something I particularly care for, either. Again, not *BAD* ... just not my vibe. Things (and often people) here are big, loud, prideful and in-your-face. I find the driving here to be horrific and I find it very hard to find peace. And I also am seeking a lower cost of living. But there are lots of benefits to living in Texas, too. I guess it just depends on what your priorities are. I'd love to answer any questions you might have about my experiences with Texas to help you make a decision.

    My question is how good is the soil in Eastern Tennessee? I am currently developing a 20 acre forest into a small homestead/farm. We have clay soil. It can be improved over time. However I have considered just packing up and moving to a less populated area. We live in Upstate SC and I foresee never ending massive population growth in the near and continuous future here. Two hundred acres of never devolved land next to us just sold and it has been cut flat to the red clay. There will now be a couple thousand people next door to us. Heartbreaking. I wanted to develop this land in hopes my grandchildren could continue on farming it and have a great place to live near a city but isolated. Well that dream was crushed. Its happening all around this area. That land next to us has always been forest. I guess it seemed we were safe. Nothing lasts forever. 😢

    I enjoy knowing the pros and cons and you are right, there is no perfect place but I believe the pros outweighs the cons from my research. Honestly the only thing that scares me is allergies. I will definitely have to deal with that if we live there. We are very familiar to paying high sales tax which I prefer with no state income tax and heavy traffic out here in Washington state. It is a very high cost of living out here in every way which is why we are considering moving to NE Tennessee. Weather is not perfect anywhere but living in a place that gets rain more than half the year in WA really is depressing! I think dealing with allergies might be worth seeing the sun more often.

      We have family in, I believe, Bellevue, and definitely Seattle WA and expect them back in Tennessee. My cousin and his wife are professors at a Seattle University and that has become a place that’s probably not the best one to raise a family.
      FYI, The western part of Tennessee is one of the worst places for allergies in America, perhaps even the world. However, when we go to East, Tennessee in the mountains, my allergies improve almost 100%. Hope to see y’all there!

      @@thejackrabbithole-5311 We live in Bellevue and are looking to purchase a retirement home outside of Nashville. Overall from what I have read it seems like a great quality of life financially and offers many outdoor activities which we love. Knoxville looks beautiful but without any major airports with non stop flights wouldn’t work for us given we will be flying back to Seattle often to see our kids. I have heard eastern Tennessee Knoxville area is worse in terms of allergies. Even if we end up in middle Tennessee I will need to get shots for my allergies. No plans considering western Tennessee for numerous reasons. We are visiting Nashville in June so we can get a better sense of the suburbs outside of Nashville.

    Not a bad job describing Tennessee, I am a Vet running away from California. Let me cover a few points. Regular gas is about 3 bucks vs California 5-7 per gallon. Pro Constitutional Carry state, so be polite. I haven’t experienced 1 incident of road rage yet. Mostly Christian Conservative background. All that Hollywood Pedophilia crap not tolerated here. These country boys might not call the cops if you mess with their kids. Hard core drugs not tolerated either, weed legal for medical use only. Haven’t seen any gang activities or graffiti anywhere in Johnson City. Vets get 175k for 100% disability waiver on property taxes. Not too much homelessness. Plenty of blue collar jobs at restaurants and fast food places. Haven’t seen any pollution yet, not sure if that Ohio train mess going to mess up fishing or not. Tennessee mostly white, black, Hispanic, and very few Asians. Tennessee political atmosphere, middle and eastern Conservative Country folk. Memphis might be a bit more liberal. Liberals in Nashville would be considered moderate Republicans by California or NY standards. Things people in Tennessee might take offense to, you messing with their money, business, family, kids, culture, bad manners. Things they won’t agree with usually, CRT, Transgender Education, Santanism, Occultism. This is mostly a Pro Constitutional-Pro American State. How Conservative is Tennessee? Republican Governor Lee won 70% of the vote, De Santis won with 65%. Not sure what schools and curriculum are like, haven’t taught here yet, so I don’t know what kids are like. JC has a big Vet center, so big, easy to get lost in. No traffic in JC, longest stop I have made in JC is at a traffic light lol. Speed limits slow, got speed traps, drive slow in school zones. Lots of churches sprinkled all over the place in JC. My area has lots of cops, these country cops got helicopters too. Forget about running from them, only so many ways in and out, you not outrunning a helicopter or the radio. Just take the ticket and go to traffic school lol.
    Lots of National Parks and Forest area, country farms etc etc. Don’t hear too many issues with cryptids being violent or too troublesome in city areas. A few hours drive to neighboring states, Kentucky, Missouri, S. Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia, Alabama etc etc.
    The Cons, they tend to do things slow, country speed. Usually quiet and peaceful, some people don’t actually lock their doors here at night. However, they will shoot you. People running from Ca, NY, Tx have raised property values, good for people living here but bad for people buying. Food selection is decent but need more international restaurants. Lots of BBQ and Southern Comfort food. Things lacking are karaoke, Korean BBQs, Korean Saunas in Johnson City area. They don’t have a bunch of natural Hot Springs, lots of beauty spas though.

    home pricing is being severely inflated by the "flippers" they buy trash housing through on a coat of cheap paint over the mold and then sell the place 100% up to 500% of what they paid.

    My house in NV is paid for, so I'm trying to figure out how I balance selling my house here and buying there without having to get a loan and just pay cash.

      Houses are ridiculously priced in middle Tennessee, I'm from eastern north Carolina and can get a lot more house for half the price back home. The locals here in middle Tennessee tell me I can thank all the Californians that moved out here for driving the home prices through the stratosphere. 😔

      @Brock Parker so if you're a home owner there how is that a bad thing?

      @@billy909420 cocky are we? It's not a bad thing if you want to sell. Rising home assessment increase property taxes and insurance rates. Property tax increases because the assessed value is higher
      Insurance rates increase as the price per sqft to rebuild increases and you need to increase the amount of your dwelling insurance. Think before you get cocky with someone who has obviously chosen to ignore you.

    If been here for 42 years. A TN native. TN, Nashville specifically was amazing 20 years ago. Those days are long gone. We are truning into California. Good luck finding a home anywhere in Williamson, Davidson, Rutherford, Wilson for under 500k that isnt in the hood. Sure you can goto Memphis on the cheap but i wouldn't recommend it. Murfreesboro is ridiculous just like Nashville. Extremely overcrowded and inflated prices. Avoid middle TN is what im saying. Unless you enjoy paying out the butt and extreme traffic and congestion. Im moving myself. Goodbye middle TN!
    Edit: Covid ruined TN along with the New Yorkers and Californians. Exactly why prices are so high.

    Two pros I would add. Tennessee is a common sense red state, (with the exception of Memphis). I've live in Tennessee since 1991 and Governor Bill Lee is the best Governor I've seen. Number 2 is the food. The variety is vast based on what part of the state you're in but all is good. People in Tennessee love to eat. 🙂

      If you love snow, it'll depend on where you were to pick in TN. In our area (northeast corner) we get about 12 inches in a year. It might affect travel 1 or 2 days a year unless you live in the mountains. I'm just over an hour drive to 3 ski resorts in the NC mountains so I used to ski several time a year. You won't find much to do with snow once you get in middle or western TN.

    I tried for months to get a house under contract in Tennessee or Kentucky with no luck.
    How much is insurance in either of these dates for homeowners and auto?
