Need Crossville TN Info

[havasulady]

Any realtors here from the Crossville area? Fairfield Glade we visited 21 years ago. It was just developing. Looked appealing then and now.
Have questions:
1. 55 inches of rain in Crossville. Looks like normal average is just under 5 inches a rain per month. How many days does it rain out of the month? Does the rain last all day?
2. I can't tolerate humidity, very little humidity felt there?

DM me. We bought a lot from a good Realtor in 2006. I just talked to her last week in preparation for an October trip, and she's still there.

#2. Very much humidity felt here.

I am thinking of purchasing a Homestead home, does anyone know the pros & cons of owning one of these homes?

btw........I'm not black but I have a gay black friend here which makes it doubly worse for him.


Jullian,
I am black and I am from Cookeville. What you just quoted is definately wrong!!!!! I never lived in Bushtown although I do have relatives there. Like everything else in the world things change with time. When I was growing up it was mostly where black people lived but not all and we were not segregated because of our color. Before you go stating your opinion get the facts first! As far as being gay and living in Cookeville, the homophobes are everywhere in America not just Cookeville. And it is the black people that are the ones not so excepting because of the christian belief and morals we were brought up in.

There is a lot of humidity, but I think It's not nearly as bad as FL. It's not as intensely hot and doesn't make you want to die. We have been having a very rainy year this year. I've been here almost 5 years and I feel that it is just too unpredictable to say what the weather is going to be like. BUT, just wait a little while and it will change. Also, on the plateau no matter what the forecasters say it will probably be the opposite.

Crossville is a very nice place. The only thing is that the locals do not like change and they don't appreciate anyone telling them how to do their business. On that note, especially if you are planning to build yourself, you may want to be there during the building process. Make sure you inspect everything before you sign off on anything. My husband works in landscaping and they are always fixing problems that the builders slap together. The building codes are very dicey too, non existent it seems in some places. When we first moved up here we lived in an older home and the whole house was not level. All the door entryways you could look at and see they did not know how to use a level.

As for shopping: you can get what you need here. If you can't find it or want to take a trip go to Cookeville or Knoxville, enjoy the day and when you get back to Crossville and there is no traffic you can appreciate the small town even more.
