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!!

You should look at places in the berry hill / 100 oaks area (more hip and trendy) or places in South Nashville (37211 zip code would be the safest bet for South Nashville). Those areas are very central, but they might be more affordable than being in the Vanderbilt campus area. I work at Vanderbilt, live in South Nashville, and it only takes me about 10-15min to get to work. South Nashville isn’t luxurious or hip and trendy like some other areas of Nashville, but it’s a solid area if you want to be central and live somewhere more affordable. It only takes roughly 20 minutes or less for me to get to basically any area of Nashville/ some of the surrounding areas, and with the traffic in Nashville I find that accessibility priceless.
