Nashville in Brief
Music City and the capital of Tennessee, Nashville is a major hub for health care, music, publishing, banking and transportation. It’s a popular city for immigrants due to its relatively low cost of living and large job market, and it’s one of the Top 10 Most Generous Metropolitan Areas, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy.

The Nashville File

1. Education. The Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools are well regarded for their curriculum and standards. Nashville is also home to so many colleges and universities that it’s earned the nickname “Athens of the South.”
2. Real Estate. Ranked among the top 40 hottest real estate markets, Nashville offers homes for every budget, ranging from modest starter homes to stately mansions.
3. Family. Nashville has been ranked by Employment Review as one of the Top 10 Best Places to Live & Work in America. Families have more disposable income since Tennessee has no state income tax.

5. Recreation. Nashville residents have access to an extensive parks system, numerous public golf courses, swimming pools, a sailboat marina and more.  Nashville is home to the Tennessee Titans professional football team.
6. Weather. Nashville has a warm climate that features summers that are sometimes hot and humid but great for outdoor activities.  The winters can be chilly but not for long.  The average year-round temperature is 70 degrees.
