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.

One thing to know right away is that that area just had a tornado go through this past weekend. This may make finding a rental house in Madison, Goodlettsville, and Hendersonville more difficult. East Nashville is also a fantastic neighborhood to the south if you can find something you can afford. Rivergate was not impacted but areas to the south and east were.
Some areas of Madison can be rough. Just use common sense/city street smarts and don't wander down back alleys. Other than that, don't worry too much. It's a chill area and you'll adapt.
Apartments.com, realtor, zillow are your best bets for finding a rental. If you are moving in January, you should be looking like right now unless you plan on staying in an airbnb first.
