My husband and I are back home from our trip to Cookeville. Cookeville is certainly an A+ town. We were very impressed. The town is much nicer than what we anticipated. We found the people very friendly and Cookeville appears to be updated and clean. Some of the neighborhoods are absolutely beautiful. The shopping looks as if it is adequate and no need to travel to a metro area. We attended church at St. Michael's Episcopal and found the people very friendly and they provided us information regarding the Cookeville area. Cookeville is now our top choice for a location to retire.

Great news! There's some VERY avid Cookeville fans here who can provide a wealth of info--much of which is already here on the forum.

Try a search first, and if you don't find an answer, ask!

That's such good news! I'm probably one of those people bbkaren was referring to. Even though I live in Knoxville, I think Cookeville is one of the nicest towns around, and I hope to live there myself someday.

Be sure to let us know what info you need, and we'll do our best to help! And if you need the name of a realtor, I have a good friend in Cookeville who's one of the best--I've already referred several people from this forum to her, and she was able to find them their new homes in the Cookeville area.

We're happy that you enjoyed Cookeville. My wife and I visited last August and we loved Cookeville as well.

Today it is snowing softly and we're buttoned up in our house on the hill in Cookeville. Yesterday was the day to go out and gather groceries, so we even have provisions.

Days like today and pretty much the entire autumn season are some of the greatest confirmations of our decision to move to Cookeville (and to TN in general).

Good luck and have fun with the process!

It's snowing like Alaska as I'm sitting looking out the window here in lovely Telford in Northeast TN.

We moved here in October 2005. We first rented our house, but were under contract to buy it with a clause that our house sell first--we did have a contract on our house at that time but it fell through. We decided to move to TN anyway in the hope and expectation that our FL house would soon sell. Fortunately, it did. So we rented from October to December 2005, and then bought the house at the end of December.

I don't love every single thing about Cookeville, or even TN in general, but even those things that I don't love, I probably wouldn't change (except that I think we need and deserve a Target, by golly). All in all, though, it's been a great move and a very good decision on our part.

Seriously, I don't understand why Cookeville, which does over $1 billion in retail sales every year, doesn't have a Target. It's got two Wal-Mart SuperCenters, for crying out loud. sigh
