Hi,
We are looking at a possible farm on Rock Island TN. Does anyone know the area? Is it a safe area? Good for little kids and families? What is the nicest closest town we would be using (not sure much is available in the small town)? Any electrician jobs close by? Any help would be great! Thank you!

The closest towns to Rock Island are McMinnville and Sparta. McMinnville has had chronic unemployment issues for several years and has lost 2.2% of its jobs in the last year and 8 percent in the last two years, or about 1,400 jobs (1,390 to be exact). Sparta is a very small town but it's growing, mainly the areas north of town near Cookeville. If you live in Rock Island, there's a good chance you'll have to commute to Cookeville or Murfreesboro for jobs. Schools around there, particularly in Warren County, aren't very highly regarded, either.

Beautiful area but as JMT stated jobs are scarce. You will be setting yourself up for some long commutes on two lane roads which can be dangerous and frustrating.

I would try to line up employment before you make a move.

Thank you all for your help! We want to be around Cookeville but finding it hard to find a place we can afford. My fiancée is an electrician so hoping he can find work around. It is only 35 min from Rock Island to Cookeville right? Thanks again!
