Clarksville, TN

Hey Ladies,

I am visiting from TK and had some questions about Clarksville. We should be moving to TN soon and FI's family and Eastern part of the their company is based in Paris...(Boo) Nothing is wrong with Paris, but I am coming from SoCal about 40 min from LA so, I don't know that I can handle some place that small. I would LOVE to move to Nashville but depending on how often he has to go into the office that may wont work. So I think were aiming towards Clarky. How is Clarksville for entertainment? We like to go out, in our 20's, will be newlyweds, no kids. Any suggestions?

I've been to Rancho Cucamonga! (Sorry if I spelled that wrong!)  My DH was stationed at Fort Irwin and the mall there was the closest good mall, so quite frequently, we'd make the 2 hour drive!

We live on the east side of Nashville right now.  We'd toyed with the idea that for a future assignment, we could stay where we are and DH could drive up to Fort Campbell (the base there). . . but we realized that, for us, the drive was too much.

Good luck figuring out what you are going to do!

HA! Thanks for your honesty Tar. I know it's going to be a huge difference and I am really hoping we can go to Nashville, but I'd rather settle on Clarksville over Paris. Ok, the job thing sucks for me. I am an Admin. But, the old ball and chain is set with the family business and we would be able to live off of his income alone until I found a job, which I would need to since I have a bit of a shopping addiction. But it's online more then anything. We really like to party and go out though so I can see alot of the weekends spent in Nashville. Since we love traveling and going out of town anyways......Damn! I should just push for Nashy.?

Hmmm Smudges, the east side of Nashville might be a good are too. It really just depends on how often he has to go into the office. Even though I know his parents are really going to push us moving to Paris.

So you've been to "the cuc" eh.... It's not the end all be all but it's my home. Born and Raised!

When Barstow is the nearest town, "the cuc" is damn nice!  )  It was a big day out for us to go down to the mall there to shop and eat!  I was a fan!

Umm....yes. When you are coming from Barstow, I bet Rancho is awesome!!!! Lol, so am I going to bored out of my mind in TN. What is a nice neighborhood on the Eastern side of TN? I don't need a fancy froofroo area but I'm not trying to live in the ghetto either. I think we maybe able to afford up to 150k, 180 at the very most. But I would prefer to keep it more towards 100. Which is a lot better the the high 200's low 300's like around here.?

Yah, Barstow is a trip.  ::shaking head::

To be honest, I don't know much about the neighborhoods and towns in Nashville.  I picked the town where I rent because it is close to my family and the house was within our price range!  If we were to buy in Nashville, I would want to be in the Green Hills area or West End. . . but beyond that, I am no help!  Sorry!

Housing here will be more affordable than Rancho, that is for certain!  I'd suggest finding a good realtor and going from there!
