Thinking of moving to Polk County, TN... (income, property)

[crb3291]

My husband and I are considering moving our family to Polk County in the near future. We have been through there several times and really like what we've seen. Is there anyone who lives there that can give me some information on the schools and anything negative about the area that we might like to know? We live in a small town in north GA now and like it but we are starting to have some problems with gangs in our schools and our neighborhood used to be a nice area but is also starting to have a lot of crime. We want a safe place for our children and hope Polk County can give us what we are looking for. Any information would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

1st Polk County is mostly rural and the bulk of it is the Cherokee National Forest. I don't currently live there but own property and hope to build in the future. I do spend considerable time in the area and have found the locals very friendly, can't speak about the schools but there doesn't seem to be any gang activity that I've seen. 2nd Tennessee has no state income tax unlike Georgia.

Thanks for the info. I think we are going up tomorrow to look at some more of the area.
