Nashville Named by Kiplinger.com as a Cool City with Cheap Rents ...
Friday November 11, 2005
What Kiplinger.com says about Nashville:
"With an aggressive strategy for recruiting companies, Nashville added 10,600 new jobs in 2004 alone. But its coolness quotient comes from the $2-billion-plus music business, which includes recording and video production.
"The people in that industry are very high-income, young and hip," says Janet Miller, of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. Students rent in the Belmont/Hillsboro area, near Vanderbilt University, and young professionals can buy fixer-uppers starting at about $125,000 in Historic Edgefield or Lockeland Springs.
The nightlife is full-time in Music City. Head downtown for the honky-tonk, or hit Five Points for the clubs and bars.
Where to rent: Hillsboro/Belmont, West End, Sylvan Park, Green Hills, downtown
What you'll pay: $600-$900 a month for a one-bedroom, $1,000-$1,300 for a two-bedroom, loft or small house
What you just missed: a two-bedroom, two-bath condo with a gas fireplace in Hillsboro, $1,250 Where to be at 11 p.m.: Bound'ry, Exit/In, Mercy Lounge Not-in-NYC bonus: $11,335
