Single 32 year old professional. Currently living in New York Metro Area. Enjoy living here, but starting to get little lonely. Place is really expensive. Have no family here. Want to move closer to my family in Tennessee. Planning to relocate back to south as soon as I finish my masters in software engineering.

Could you all offer some suggestions on nice urban cities within 5 hours drive of Nashville, Tennessee.
Preferably a place with lots of people, city landscape, and great downtown area.

Thanks!

Why not Nashville itself?

I'd say Atlanta would be your best bet that is not Nashville... Wild Card though... If you still want the "big city" life... Chicago might work, under 7 to Nashville, it's a straight shot down i-65...pretty much no traffic. Cincy, St. Louis could be interesting also.

Cincinnati would be the best option in my opinion, and just 4 hours away.

Within five hours of Nashville, you have Atlanta, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, Birmingham, and Memphis.

Atlanta, St. Louis, and Cincinnati are the best in terms of urban neighborhoods, though they're still not exactly great in that regard. Of the choices, I'd probably pick Atlanta. Coming from NYC, the other cities might bore you. Atlanta has a lot going on.
