where to live in nashville

[nightrunner]

Ok, in a few months or so I will having to move to Nashville. I will be going to school at the NEJATC on Fesslers Ln. in south Nashville. I don't really want to get too awful far away, but most likely I will be working at different jobsites all over the greater Nashville area.

Where are the better places to live at in Nashville? I'm not looking to live in a Brentwood subdivision or anything like that, but don't want to have a 98% probability of my apartment getting shot up at 2am either. A 1-2 bedroom apartment is what I will be looking for.

So, where would you live at in Nashville if you has the choice? Or should I try to find a place in Murfreesboro?

Donelson Area.

Right next to I40 and Briley Parkway

Walmart, Target, malls, food, hospitals, funeral homes, everything you need in one area.

Numerous apartments in the general area that look clean

As quiet as most places. In bad weather you can get to Fesslers without touching any interstate.

Hermitage is nice as well...but more of the crime reports seem to come from that area

All A need is WalMart and the occasional fast food place. I can travel out for a gun shop and HomeDepot.

[dunndw]

We've got

Walmat

Target

Home Depot

Lowes

Kohls

The Reloaders Bench (Mt Juliet...10 min)

plenty of places to eat

Here's the area I'm talking about:

yeah, um, I stopped at th few convenience stores and fast food places their and I was like a marshmallow dropped in a bucket of raisins.

Bellevue area is pretty nice. There are some apartments out this way that are affordable. Traffic going to/from downtown usually isn't terrible.

Fesslers/Murfeesboro rd area is THE place in Nashville to get "things".

[nightrunner]

good to know, might come in handy later on

but if thats the case, its probably also a good place to loose your things too.

[DavidCBaker]

I would try an area east of I-65, (fair bit) south of Harding, (fair bit) west of Nolensville, and north of Old Hickory Blvd.

Last time I was there I got chlamydia, the crabs, and gonorrhea. But I could had supersized my combo and gotten HIV for an extra 99cents.

I never specified what "things" meant!

They put you in a job during the day through an apprenticeship program and you go to school at night for 6 years.

I used to live out next to percy priest/stewart's ferry Its not bad and the rent is reasonable.

2nd that, but be more than a fair bit west of Nolensville Rd. more like Edmonson Pike, I'm not far enough.

Here's a crime map of Nashville... The hot spots will be obvious.

http://data.tennessean.com/v2/bin/crimeMap/display/index.php

For reference, I40 and Fesslers lane is about 25-30 mins from Bellevue / Westmeade (SW Nashville), 5-10ish mins from Donelson area.
