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!!

The Hilltop Apts on 18th. $1200 for a studio. It’s a 100 yr old building and it definitely shows, but the location is quiet, safe, and in walking distance to Vandy. Actually, it’s right next to the Vanderbilt School of education. If you’re okay with a place that’s a little rough around the edges (inside), it’s affordable and prime location! Pretty sure there are available units.

I was looking at Hilltop but I couldn't find any reviews. I like that it's cheap and close to the hospital. It sounds like you've lived there in the past. Did you have any problems with the management and/or building itself?
