Nashville, Tennessee - A Great Place to Live, Work and Play!

Live. Work. Play.  All across the Nashville area, folks are living their dreams, working hard, playing harder and visiting the generous array of historic and entertainment sites that make the region a top tourism destination.  Nashville's star is on the rise, thanks to bustling business activity fueled by a low cost of doing business and a strategic location at the center of eastern markets.

When traveling, Nashvillians are most likely to respond to the question "Where do you live?" by simply saying "Nashville" or "near Nashville".  However, back on home turf, the answers tend to be much more varied, with possible responses including: Hillsboro Village, Green Hills, Belle Meade, Brentwood, Franklin, West Meade, Bellevue, Leipers Fork, Governors Club, Hendersonville, Murfreesboro or even Old Hickory Lake.  This is a region with a strong sense of community pride.  And, from urban lifestyles to suburban enclaves to rural farmland, each neighborhood offers something different and something special.

Yes, Nashville is known around the globe as Music City USA, but the state's capital city is also known for world-class health care, entrepreneurship in health-related arenas and medical research.  Publishing is another industry success in Nashville, which is the headquarters of religious giants like Thomas-Nelson Inc., the United Methodist Publishing House and the Baptist Sunday School Board.

Titans NFL football, Predators NHL hockey, Vanderbilt sports rivalries, history, museums, galleries, children's activities and an active club scene lure visitors and help residents make the most of weekends and after-hours leisure time.  Tennis, swimming, biking, fishing, hiking and boating are popular ways to take advantage of the city's mild climate. 

And, of course, there's the music - a thriving industry and an entertainment bonanza.  The city's long association with country music really took off in 1925, when the WSM Barn Dance (later known as The Grand Ole Opry) hit the airwaves.  Rich in tradition yet also boasting popular contemporary performances, the Opry is still heard around the nation every Friday and Saturday night.

Live, Work, Play.  Nashville is the ideal place to do all three.  For quality of life, big and small business, health care, nightlife and dining options, family fun, and a variety of places to take the out-of-town in-laws, you just can't do much better than Nashville.
