Thinking about retirement (Franklin, Brentwood, Green Hill: real estate, insurance, houses)

[specialeffects]

Heard great things about Nashville. Why do you think I should consider moving to Nashville. {Other than low taxes and great country music.}

Here are Five Good Reasons to Move to Middle Tennessee!


5. Great Health Care Providers
4. No Income Tax and Low Real Estate Taxes
3. Many Safe Affordable Housing Options
2. Beautiful Countryside/Outdoor Recreation Options
1. REALLY FRIENDLY PEOPLE

And I am sure there are many more. Thought of some more -- Lots of Live Music options including symphony, blue grass, jazz, country, etc.
Professional sports available, Lower Insurance rates for houses/cars, lots of food choices; and REALLY FRIENDLY PEOPLE

Thank you. Is there an area where I could find modern/contemporary homes?

[GolfMomTN]

I also wanted a more modern/contemporary home myself but I settled for a transitional home in Brentwood. But you can find lots of beautiful mid-modern homes in the Green Hills/Oak Hills areas that have already been updated or can be updated. There are also modern homes to be found in most of the more recent subdivisions. I saw some in Princeton Hills and also a great one down off of I-65 Cool Springs exit. Also there were some in Franklin area just west of the I-65 Moore's Lane exit.

If you want to be in the city, I saw several areas that are offering modern town homes and newly built urban homes in several close-in areas of Nashville. I am sure there are others who can give you more specifics.

Just a note on the taxes (since you are considering retirement, specifically):

Tennessee does not have an income tax on wages, but does have an income tax on investment income (6%). There are exemptions for those over 65 that fall below specific income limits.

Individual Income Tax
