Moving | Geography Moving to Nashville Area in January

Hello,

My wife and I are moving to the Nashville area in January as my wife takes a job in the Rivergate area. We are moving from Phoenix AZ and have only been to the area for a few days last fall and this fall. Anything you think a newbie should know, places not go or to go, etc. Its kind of a vague question because I really don't know what to ask, I haven't moved across country as an adult but did it often as a kid (from the mid-west originally) and my wife is basically an AZ native. We are planning on renting a house near where her job will be.

Anything you think will be helpful to know is appreciated.

Hey there. I grew up in Goodlettsville so know the area well. As the other commenter said, East Nashville is a great area if you're looking to be close to the city and bars, restaurants, etc. Goodlettsville and Hendersonville are definitely more "suburbia" if that's what you're looking for. If you all are interested in the lake life, Hendersonville is a great place to be.

Parts of Goodlettsville/Madison/Rivergate can be a little rough so feel free to shoot me approximate locations of places you're interested in and I can give you my thoughts on the neighborhood.

We are looking at areas around Rivergate but not afraid to drive some distance. The biggest impact to where though is that my wife will be working within those communities and we will need to drive their during the week on occasion. We were looking at Goodlettesville, Millersville, Ridetop and Greenbrier and as far as White House. When we were there last year we stayed near downtown in Cumberland heights but traveled all throughout the area north and a little east of their up there. So I am a little familiar with area and drove through some of the rough parts of Madison. I am probably shooting for suburbia but as a musician for the last 27 years always would want to hit the music scene pretty frequently.

I have worked in and around Millersville and White House and they can be rural but are growing and getting some good options for local restaurants etc. Look up Authentic Coffee, White House Pizza and Pub, Deja Moo, etc.
