Nashville

Hi!  I am thinking about moving to the Nashville area if my DH decides he doesn't want to be with me anymore, ugh.  What are some nice areas there?

I'd probably want to live close to downtown/near vandy if I was single. I'm an old married fart with kids and still wished I lived downtown.

The Vanderbilt/West End area is probably where you would want to be - lots of restaurants and bars and fun retail. Some of my single grad student friends live out in Bellevue because rents are cheaper, but every time my husband and I have gone out to eat in Bellevue, we feel like we're in major suburbia. East Nashville is a very hip and up-and-coming neighborhood, but I don't think I would feel safe living there alone as a female unless I had a big scary dog. I've heard too many stories about people getting burglarized and mugged in front of their houses.

I lived downtown on 2nd Ave my first year in Nashville. Loved it and it was a great way to meet a lot of new people. We moved to West End/Vandy area in Hillsborough Village our second year. That was really fun too, but I liked downtown more:)

My best friend lives in Bellevue, because rent is quite a bit cheaper. It's pretty close to downtown too, as far as Nashville drives go. She is looking to move into a condo though when her lease is up in July, just because she's on-again-off-again single and wants to be closer to the action of downtown. The Vandy area is really nice too, seems safer but of course rent is higher.
