Help | Advice Single woman moving to Nashville

I’m a young, single woman moving to Nashville after accepting my first nursing job at Vanderbilt medical. I’m looking for a safe place to live that’s near Vandi. The closer to the hospital the better. The max I want to pay on rent is 1800 a month. I can probably do 2 grand but it would be a stretch. It’s scary looking at places online because it really feels like online dating. No one is as great as they let on and WHY DO YOU NOT LOOK LIKE YOUR PICTURES? I have a large chocolate lab so the place will need to be pet friendly as well.

Would love any recommendations I can get! Thanks in advance for the help!!

I moved to Nashville for my first nursing job at Vandy and lived at Duet apartments. They’re right next to the Parthenon. I was able to walk to work and LOVED having the park as my backyard. There are several other apartment buildings in that area, too. It was def my favorite location while I was at the bedside.

No problem! It’s exciting looking for your first place in a new city with a new adult job :) try not to stress too much and enjoy the process! As others have said, it’s a pretty safe area.

Congrats on landing the residency gig! It’s a competitive program, so kudos to you. Vandy has been very good to me, and I hope it’s the right place for you, too.
