Based on your list, I'd say Nolensville. Keep in mind traffic is going to SUCK anywhere on I-65, in any direction, during rush hour. Fairview is nice, too.

Franklin has not beed ruled out, nor has Spring Hill. I had an impression (possibly an incorrect one) that Franklin was mostly suburban, a bit more crowded? I'm looking for that area that is on the outer fringe of country; where rural meets only small pockets of convenience, maybe half an hour to a mall etc.
Good points on the traffic. Last time I was in TN, I was only in eastern TN. I was talking with some great folks there, and a man was telling me how his son had moved from Knoxville to Nashville area, and came back because he simply could not tolerate the time he was wasting in traffic. I need to take another, and much more detailed scouting mission of the region soon. Thanks for the input, I appreciate all of it. Please keep it coming. |

If you're wanting to stay in the country, but close to rich folks, south of Franklin & Cool Springs sounds about right. There are affluent people around the Maryville & W. Knox area, but they're all tight wads.

I drive from the center of town (metro center) to the northern fringe of Nolensville area daily.
Morning commute (leave around 6:20 daily) is 20 min Afternoon commute varies from 30 min to 50 min - average time over the past month is 38 min. |

This isn't the first time I have heard about it, but your input confirms that the traffic issue is apparently something I have to consider seriously. I need to get back to the area and scope things out in more detail.
So, in the "cons" column are traffic and tornadoes.

It's not that lots of the people around there are rich, (I deal with real rich people in Atlanta), but I see lots of condescending attitudes. *shrugs* maybe it's just me, but if I were to live in the area, I'd live in Maryville or Karns before I'd move to Farragut.

I'm not going to get in the middle of that discussion, but will watch it from a safe distance. But I should mention that particular feature is something I am specifically trying to avoid (for political reasons). Just to weigh your perspective, have you ever been to Provincetown, San Francisco, or Key West?

It has nothing to do with homos. At least in Maryville, they are few and far between. The joke is that people from Farragut are stuck up, so the F"arra"gut in the middle of the word blends together and sounds like one "a." Pinch your nose, say "Farragut" with a yuppie accent, and you'll see what I mean. It's all in good humor...mostly...
And for the record, I've never been to either of those 3 cities, nor do I have any desire to. |

pointman12, Tell me what you like about Maryville. And what do you dislike, if at all. Thanks There really isn't anything I dislike, other than the fact that it is a city and I have to go outside city limits to shoot. Great schools (best in the state), several closeby lakes, several great churches, mountains are 30 minutes away, a ton of wildlife if you hunt, it isn't huge to the point of having heavy traffic but it's small enough to get to know a lot of people in the town, it's very conservative, and it's close to Knoxville in case you have the urge to go to a "real" city. |

I'll plus one for maryville. There's a few ranges in blount county, along with a new one opening by april. If they don't tickle your fancy, ORSA is about 1h away and is an awesome place to shoot. Extremely conservative area, small enough to get to know people, big enough to have plenty to do. Lots and lots of public hunting land and lakes within 1h drive. Great schools, and you'd have to murder someone to get county cops to do anything. City cops aren't as relaxed, but I've never been pulled over for something I wasn't doing.
First post too, btw. |

Three years ago I was in your same dilemma - relocating from Florida and trying to decide between Nashville and Knoxville. I'm a Florida native who really didn't want to leave Florida but my wife wanted to move back closer to her family. I had a couple of good job offers around the Nashville area but we ended up buying a house with a couple of acres in Maryville.
We could not have made a better choice. Maryville is a beautiful place to live, and everyone here has been great. It has everything we need here, and it's a quick trip to Knoxville for everything else. I'm located just a few minutes away from the start of the Dragon so we spend most weekends hanging around in the mountains. Now I wish I would have made this move 20 years ago. I also travel a lot for work so having a regional airport close by is another reason we choose Maryille. McGhee Tyson is a good airport with a reasonable number of flights and it is super easy to get in and out of. Let me know if you have any questions about moving or living here. These pictures were all taken within a 10-15 minute drive from my house.    |

Those of us in Knoxville have no idea how traffic can get until you visit Nashville or Atlanta. Seriously. I live in Knoxville and travel between Atlanta and Nashville often. Atlanta drivers are relatively safe, just drive a lot faster than most. People living in or driving through Knoxville are complete dumbasses, changing multiple lanes without regard to others, driving recklessly, not letting others merge, etc. I don't know if this has to do with the people or the way the interstates come together. Nashville drivers can be close to the same as Knoxville, but they have the advantage of more lanes, except in a couple areas. Mind, I never drive through either city during rush hour if I can help it. Atlanta's rush hour is by far the worst and 9pm there will look like 5pm here. |
