What I usually advise people when looking at col and cities is you have to pay to live in a modern city. If you want walkable neighborhoods landscaped pedestrian friendly neighborhoods. A good freeway or boulevard system with lrt/street car system you have to pay for it.

I see the tax thing will become a challenge for Nashville over the next 5 to 10 years as the city has to upgrade public infrastructure. Modern cities cost money. Young people don't want to live in the suburbs and it's going to take more than nightclubs and restaurants to keep them happy.

Interesting! That's nice to know. I just looked at Gulch online and it looks really nice. I like that feel, or at least what I can tell from it. Any chance of a skyline view from there?

Also, where did the name "Gulch" come from ahhaha?

The large, old railroad "gulch" that is right there.

As for "skyline view," it's right next to the main "downtown" area, so yes, you can get a skyline view. If you buy in one of the high-rises, you'll have amazing views.

Interesting... Ok it looks like the Gultch is exactly what I wanted to find in Nashville. If I can just find a financial analyst job there I'd be set! I like the apparent newness of it as well. Its not ghetto or dangerous for my wife to go on a jog is it? I mean the area mainly "young professional"? I hate to categorize people but you kinda have to here.

Lots of folks go jogging in the Gulch all the time. And we are very close to the downtown YMCA.

Too many things wrong with this. I think I know what it is.


I don't know how anyone can walk 10 feet in Buckhead and not see a BMW, Mercadese, Rolls Royce or a super/exotic sports car so I don't know how anyone would consider it "ghetto". Unless by "ghetto" you mean you saw way more black people than you are used too.

Yeah thats part of it. But half of those exotic cars have custom rims and are bumper to bumper with chrysler 300m's, again on rims. Phips, Lenox, for their price point, very very um urban.

What's "part of it?"

Aftermarket rims and Chrysler are ghetto?

Contrast to Nashville and surrounding counties where there are ubiquitous hills typically more than a thousand feet altitude.

But being in Houston myself I wish nature had granted us at least some rolling terrain more than we have. The only rolling terrain here is the moderate valley carved by Buffalo Bayou through its coursing over the millennia.
Houston lies in a coastal plain, so if you're looking for rolling terrain, you probably moved to the wrong city. I've never been able to understand why people on these forums complain about a city or state's geography, as if there is anything than can be done about it!

That post was in response to the notion that Dallas and Nashville had similar topography...which they don't.
