Nashville
Mention "Music City USA" and people think "Nashville." Known for its reputation as the center of the country music industry, today's Nashville has made a name for itself in a variety of fields including Education, Health Care, Finance, Transportation and the Arts. Most importantly, people are recognizing that Nashville and the surrounding counties are a good place to live. Once referred to as "America's biggest small town," Nashville harmonizes the best aspects of city sophistication and country charm. This blend produces a quality of life typified by the metro area community of Franklin, which was voted one of the best American Small Towns to live in.
The Nashville metro area consists of Davidson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson Counties and covers a mid-Tennessee region that varies in topography from southern flatlands through rolling hills to bluffs in the northern areas that rise to an elevation of 1,100 feet. Throughout it all, life is characterized by southern-flavored hospitality and progressive urban amenities.
