ColdtoWarm
I'm a Minnesotian, where it's very cold for long months, burrr....ha ha ha. Looking to relocate to Tenn. area(where it's warmer) this Fall- anybody know any good, safe neighborhoods near Memp. Knoxville, Chatanooga? How about good computer jobs, decent housing in safe, low-crime nieghborhoods, parks, good high schools to suggest; is there a lot of community in this state? Are there a lot of activities for kids to do down there? How about diversity? If not, What areas in tenn. have the most 'community' involvement & diversity? Any insight will be helpful

In a word, from what I have seen and heard....Maryville.
Top schools, minimal crime, good sense of community with a lot of pride, decent employment, affordable housing.
I'm not sure what you mean by "diversity" but if it is what I think it is....um, not really. Not to be rude, just familiar with the demographics.

Diversity? Not too popular here. Whether it be diversity of thought or skin tone. Community involvment -- hope you like church. Sorry. I moved here about 3 years ago and looking to move on, as this has been my impression.

Do you know anything about SW Tennessee, near Waynesboro? I am looking to move to the area and I'd like to buy a house on at least 50 acres. It looks like there is some affordable land. I'd appreciate any information on the area.

Possibilities2006: It's not bad, if it is your cup of tea, it just is not for me. I think it is a good place for those that want that slower pace and are of a retirement age. I live N. of Knoxville.
