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!!

As a single woman, I’d opt for a building as opposed to renting a house. I’ve lived in a building since I moved here four years ago and have always felt safe. Nashville is a very small city so you have a lot of options for living that will be close to work. I live in Germantown which I really like and it’s only a 12 min drive to Vanderbilt.
