The nearest mountains are an hour or more east of Nashville by I-40. Also, the area you mentioned west of Nashville consists mainly of rolling hills. It is so expensive that people who fly a lot should really locate closer to Knoxville or Nashville. I'm a big fan of the Tri-Cities region but not of the airport. We'd really need about 2 weeks to check the 4-5 main areas that I've been looking at, but I won't be able to get that amount of time off already, plus we wouldn't be able to afford it, unless we sleep in the SUV and cook on a BBQ grill in the KMart parking lot! We'll just narrow it down by that time to 3 areas and check things out.Īnyone here familiar with SW of Nashville, about 30 - 40+ miles out of Nashville? What's the topography like? I definitely don't want to get into the flatlands, as we're hill/mountain folk. Centerville (SE of Nashville) and McEwen ( W of Nashville), but McEwen is too far out - Centerville - maybe, but I think it may still be too far out for me to work at LM in Franklin/Brentwood - but, good for my hubby to work in the Nashville area with higher pay. I also spotted a couple of places about 30 - 40 miles west of Nashville, but I can't tell if that's mountainous or not - I can't seem to find a topographical map. So, as we'd be driving down 81 anyways on our way down, why not look up in that area also! We'll spend a couple days in that area, a couple of days looking north of Cookeville, and if we've time, to run down to Chattanooga and check out the Old Fort/Cleveland area. I'm coming to like that area also, around Tazewell, Kyles Ford and Sneedville, and have seen some property listed online that looks pretty good.

I heard rumors on here that the Tri-Cities airport may get larger, or become a major hub, like Nashville. That's funny that you both answered the same thing at the same time! LOL! Thank you, both of you!
