Welcome to Living in Tennessee, your local guide to life in the Volunteer State.
This blog was created for anyone thinking about moving to Tennessee, already living here, or simply curious about what day-to-day life looks like across this diverse, beautiful, and rapidly growing state.
Whether you’re searching for the best towns to raise a family, trying to compare cost of living by region, or wondering what it’s really like to deal with Tennessee’s weather you’re in the right place.
Why I Started This Blog
I started Living in Tennessee because I realized there was a gap in trustworthy, down-to-earth information about what it’s like to actually live here. So much online content is either outdated, too generic, or written by people who’ve never stepped foot in the state.
This site is different. It’s built by a real person not a media company or AI content farm with a passion for local insight, practical advice, and honest takes on what makes Tennessee both unique and livable.
Whether you’re coming from a big city, another southern state, or halfway across the country, my goal is to help you feel more confident and informed.
Our Mission
The mission behind Living in Tennessee is simple: To create the most helpful, honest, and locally focused resource on life in the Volunteer State.
I believe that where you live matters, and I want to help readers make better-informed decisions about living in Tennessee whether they’re relocating, retiring, or just looking to understand their home better.
This blog is driven by a passion for clarity, local insight, and practical advice — without hype or fluff.
What You’ll Find Here
At Living in Tennessee, you’ll find content focused entirely on helping you understand life in the state, not from a tourist perspective, but from a local, resident-focused point of view.
Some of the topics I cover:
- Moving to Tennessee: What to know before you relocate
- Cost of living comparisons (by region and city)
- Pros and cons of living in different parts of the state
- Safety, schools, healthcare, and taxes
- Local guides, lifestyle tips, and regional spotlights
All content is written with care, based on research and a desire to provide helpful, accurate, and unbiased information.
