Middle Tennessee...
Middle Tennessee, unofficially the area from the Tennessee River in the West to
the Cumberland Plateau in the East, is one of the nation's fastest growing
regions. While the landscape is often rolling countryside, the northern
and eastern boundaries tend to be more hilly. Lakes provide boating and
fishing recreation in many counties. And, the Smoky Mountains in the
eastern part of the state and the Mississippi River and Memphis in the west are
only a day trip away. Residents enjoy four distinct seasons. Fall
is colorful with often brilliant foliage, winters are relatively mild, spring
is cool and green, and summers are warm, but retain the greens of spring late
into the season.
The Economic
Climate... Middle
Tennessee, with Nashville as its anchor, has long been noted as the state's
center of government and the world's center for Country Music. However,
Middle Tennessee offers much more. There is a growing and diverse
business climate that now includes a burgeoning auto production industry with
Nissan's assembly plant in Rutherford County and the GM Saturn assembly plant
in Maury County. Major national health service providers, printers, and
insurance companies comprise only a small part of the varied business
scene. Excellent public and private education, no state income tax, an
overall low property tax rate, favorable work laws, along with Tennessee state
government's aggressive pursuit of businesses to relocate to the area, have led
many national companies to call the Middle Tennessee home. Additionally,
the regional draw of the Tennessee Titans NFL football team, the Nashville Kats
Arena football team, and the Nashville Predators NHL hockey team makes
recruiting employees from all parts of the nation easy.
Communities...
Middle Tennessee boasts some of the friendliest and most active
communities in the nation including...
Bedford County--Offering simple living, good
schools, rolling hills and majestic horse farms, all in the middle of the
state, convenient to shopping and medical services, yet affordable and
relaxed. The quality of life is enhanced by access to the many large
industries in Bedford County that continues to maintain a strong economic and
job market. Home to the Walking Horse International Celebration, ten days
of prancing and parading of the most impressive animals in the walking horse
world. A little something in almost any area of interest can be found in
Bedford County.
Clarksville/Montgomery County--Situated in the rolling hills of
Middle Tennessee, Clarksville is one of the fastest growing cities in the
Southeast. From superior schools and health care to an abundance of parks
and recreational activities, Clarksville/Montgomery County offers many
opportunities for residents and visitors alike. In addition to its
recent ranking as America's 11th Best Golf City by Golf Digest,
Clarksville has also been named Best Place to Retire (Where to
Retire), 38th Family-Friendly City (Reader's Digest), and 57th
Best Place to Live (Money Magazine). Home of Austin Peay State
University and the famed 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), along with its
proximity to the Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area and Nashville,
Clarksville is the Gateway to the New South...a great place to
live, work and enjoy!
Davidson County (Metro Nashville)--Owning a home in Greater Nashville
provides some exceptional benefits. The current selection of available homes
gives you excellent choices in all price ranges, and in whatever part of town
best suits your business, family and personal needs. The Greater Nashville area
is known for its outstanding quality of life in education, arts, music and

the Nashville Kats Arena football, and Nashville Predators NHL hockey. The

Greater Nashville and Middle Tennessee.
Rutherford County--If you want to be in the middle of everything, yet
find open land, quality services, and convenience, come to "the Heart of
Tennessee" -- Rutherford County. Although the fastest growing county in
Tennessee, we still retain a small town flavor. Home to Middle Tennessee
State University, Nissan Motor Manufacturing, Uncle Dave Macon Days festival,
and the nation's third best market for restaurants. Civil War history and
modern schools span the market of the geographic center of Tennessee.
Sumner County--With its hometown feel, you can be
assured as you walk down any street you will pass at least a few people you
know and who know you. This statement best describes the people of Sumner
County--where residents have a genuine concern for their friends and neighbors
in one of Tennessees fastest growing communities. Sumner County is
experiencing tremendous growth due to the quality of life, a Tennessee
Department of Education rated A+ school system, excellent health care
facilities, local parks, abundant recreational opportunities and its close
proximity to the Greater Nashville area. Our community offers an uncrowded and
unhurried haven for people who enjoy history, romantic scenery, water
recreation, an agricultural environment, notable celebrations and friendly
folks. Wilson County--Another one of Middle
Tennessee's fast growing areas, yet we still retain great values in
housing. Local schools provide students with the instructional tools to
score very high on standardized testing. Wilson County is convenient to
Nashville's International airport and a crossing network of Interstates.
While Wilson County may be described as a bedroom community east of Nashville,
we still maintain a rural atmosphere with down-home values. However,
opportunities abound for new business growth. |
