Five reasons to buy a house The state of the economy may have you wondering if buying a home is a good idea. Whether you’re thinking about buying, or already have and just need some affirmation, you may find it comforting to know there are still plenty of good reasons for those who are financially stable to buy a house. Here are a few: • Homeownership can help make good credit even better. If your credit is in poor shape, you’ll want to monitor it before seeking a mortgage. But if you have good credit, live within your means and consistently make good financial decisions, a mortgage can be the kind of “good debt” that helps your overall financial health. Making regular payments on a mortgage shows potential lenders that you’re a less risky candidate for a home loan. Before you begin home shopping, it’s a good idea to check your credit. If you have a good credit history and are on sound financial footing, buying a home could • A mortgage can func- be the best move you can make. ABLESTOCK.COM tion like an automatic savings plan.

DAVIDSON

Nashville: A modern-day boom town Nashville has long been known for its country music scene, but these days the city is getting national attention for more than just its tunes. National publications are taking note of everything Nashville, from food and fashion to music and more. Forbes magazine ranks Nashville third on its list of “Next Big Boom Towns.” The music scene was one factor that led to the city’s inclusion on the list; other criteria included job growth (both past and projected for the future), quality of life, fewer traffic tie-ups compared with other cities its size, affordable housing prices, a “pro-business environment” and a growing infrastructure. Forbes. com calls Nashville one of the “Best Places for Business and Careers,” and the city ranks 27th among “Cities on the Edge” (by Sperling’s Best Places) for its scores in categories such as sports, art, music, culture and cosmopolitan factors (like LEED certifications and population growth). While some may think of Nashville as a meat-and-three kind of town, the venerable New York Times knows that Nashville has so much more up its culinary sleeve. A recent NYT article shined a spotlight on East Nashville cuisine. From the Farmer’s Market to food trucks to gourmet popsicles at Las Paletas, Nashville’s hip food scene is evidence of a diverse culture, which in turn attracts residents from all walks of life and supports an eclectic mix of businesses. Readers of Travel + Leisure have also noticed Nashville’s taste for good food, voting the city #16 among the “Best U.S. Cities for Foodies.” The city also earned a nod recently from GQ magazine, with an eight-page spread touting Music City’s influence in music, small business, food and fashion. Nashville’s vibrant music scene is still a trait that earns notice, but these days it’s not just country music that’s thriving in Nashville; Music City’s burgeoning pop scene recently led The Atlantic to dub Nashville the “Silicon Valley of the music business.” The publication cited Nashville’s transformation from “country music outpost” to a major player in the world of commercial music. And with venues like The Bluebird Cafe, 3rd and Lindsley and The Station Inn, it’s not surprising that last year Rolling Stone magazine declared that Music City has the “Best Music Scene” in the country. But Nashville is so much more than the media darling of the moment; many thriving industries have a long history here. Bridgestone, HCA, BMI, Thomas Nelson Publishing, LP (Louisiana-Pacific) and Dollar General all have corporate offices in Nashville — a testament to the strong business foundations and economic growth here. Great food, good fun, affordable housing and a healthy business climate — these are just some of the reasons to sing the praises of America’s Music City.

The historic Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville is just one of Music City’s many treasures. FILE / THE TENNESSEAN

Five homeowner mistakes to avoid Have you ever accidentally left a candle burning unattended? Or left home without turning on the security system? You probably made a mental note to yourself to not do it again but otherwise didn’t think much about it. While you may have avoided one disaster, next time you might not be so lucky. A simple “uh oh” could lead to thousands of dollars in damage to your home. “We recommend homeowners adopt a mindset of thinking about the consequences of things, of what could go wrong,” says Dr. Tim Reinhold, senior vice president of research and chief engineer for the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. Here are five tips to help you avoid common homeowner mistakes:

Your strategy: Have your mail and newspaper deliveries suspended or have a trusted neighbor retrieve and hold them until your return. “Not only do piles of mail signal that a house is vacant, but thieves can sift through letters to steal your identity,” says Joe Vahey, vice president at Erie Insurance. “You also may want to arrange for someone to maintain your lawn if you’ll be gone for more than a few days, and consider installing central alarms, motion detectors or timed lights that will illuminate the area around your house at night.”

SUMNER COUNTY GALLATIN | HENDERSONVILLE | PORTLAND | WESTMORELAND | WHITE HOUSE

SUMNER

Measured growth, eye toward the future are part of Sumner’s appeal With one of the best high schools in the state, a new mass transit plan in the works, a growing health-care infrastructure and a wealth of recreational opportunities, Sumner County has plenty to brag about. This area just northeast of Nashville offers a quality of life that many new-home buyers find attractive. Residents here enjoy the hometown feel of cities like Gallatin and Hendersonville but appreciate the nearby big-city perks of Nashville. EDUCATION The county’s largest city, Hendersonville, is home to Merrol Hyde Magnet School, named the third best high school in Tennessee in U.S. News & World Report’s most recent ranking of America’s Best High Schools. Gallatin (the county seat) is home to Volunteer State Community College, a public two-year college that offers associate degrees, certificates and continuing education opportunities. With more than 70 academic programs and classes offered on site and online, Vol State is an educational and economic asset to Sumner County and the entire region. HEALTH CARE Sumner County is home to three medical facilities: Hendersonville Medical Center, Sumner Regional Medical Center in Gallatin and Northcrest Medical Center in Springfield. Sumner Regional opened a new dedicated pediatric unit in late 2011, and Hendersonville Medical Center kicked off a $3-million expansion of its critical care unit in September of last year. HMC is also accredited to assess and treat chest pain and joint problems.

Hendersonville’s city-owned Country Hills Golf Course is one of several courses found in Sumner County. FILE / THE TENNESSEAN community built to offer ready access to Metro Nashville’s regional transportation system, which includes plans for a northeast corridor transit line stretching from Gallatin to East Nashville. Initial plans for the community include a bus rapid transit system with a later transition to light rail. Through careful planning and sustained economic growth, Sumner County continues to build on its existing assets, which helps it attract more workers, more residents and more business. It’s easy to see why home buyers and builders find this an appealing place to live, work, play and do business.

RECREATION

AT A GLANCE

The Gallatin area is a sportsman’s paradise; fishing and boating opportunities abound along the county’s miles of shoreline on Old Hickory Lake, as do lakefront homes. The Gallatin Civic Center has a double gym, indoor pool and racquetball courts. Dog owners can let their pets run free at Triple Creek Park in Gallatin. Hendersonville has an extensive system of greenway biking and walking trails with plans to expand its bike trail system. Several golf courses dot the county, including Country Hills Golf Course and Bluegrass Yacht & Country Club (both in Hendersonville), and The Club at Fairvue Plantation and Long Hollow Golf Course (both in Gallatin).

Let there be light

Enhance your backyard with layers of outdoor lighting. PHOTOS COURTESY OF ARA

It’s officially fall, and with the comfortable outdoor temps, you’ll surely want to extend your outdoor time for as long as you can — before winter’s cold hand sets in. But the moderate temperatures of fall also bring shorter days, so you may need to modify your outdoor environment to allow for spending time outside well past sunset. Fortunately, the right light can make evening hours safer and more enjoyable. Whether it’s for a poolside party, a romantic dinner on the patio or a barbecue with the neighbors, the American Lighting Association offers these tips and tricks to make your outwdoor space a more beautiful and pleasant place to spend time.

IMPROVE NAVIGATION Lighting is typically layered into a room or ouwtdoor space in three ways: overhead, task and ambient. Even outdoors — where there are no typical boundaries and borders — those three layers are necessary. Outdoor overhead lighting is important for visibility of steps, paths and walking surfaces. “You don’t have to light a path completely, but it’s good to provide light where there’s a bend, an intersection or as you turn a corner or approach steps,” says Jeff Dross, corporate director of education and industry trends with Kichler Lighting in Cleveland, Ohio.

ENHANCE SECURITY

ADD DECORATIVE ELEMENTS

To improve visibility and security, combine a motion detector with a sconce to illuminate dark corners or areas near entrances, says David Kitts, a designer with Hubbardton Forge in Castleton, Vermont. Be sure to aim lights away from the door. “Wall lanterns on either side of the door will give your home a warm, welcoming appearance while ensuring the safety of those that enter,” says Kim Mager, marketing director for Hinkley Lighting in Avon Lake, Ohio.

Just as arbors, pergolas, patios and other outdoor elements help to enhance the style of an outdoor space, so too can lighting contribute to a well-designed landscape. “Well-done outdoor lighting should not only serve the functional purposes of safety and visibility, but also focus attention to the architectural and natural details of the space,” says Kitts. For example, step lights are essential for safe passage, but can also highlight molding or trim details. For a pergola over a deck, an outdoor-compliant chandelier can be a wonderful accent to dinnertime and a way to spotlight the overhead structure and flowering vines. Patio lights provide ambience as well as illumination for cooking outside.

CREATE OUTDOOR ROOMS “Creating outdoor rooms is more difficult, because you don’t have as many features on which to direct light to define or enhance a space — other than horizontal surfaces like a deck, patio or lawn,” says David Martin with Hubbardton Forge. Outdoor lighting at the borders of a space is a great way to give people barriers, both vertically and horizontally. “Lights in a tree create something akin to a chandelier hung in the middle of the sky, and even accent lights in the general area of the edge of a patio, deck or porch will glaze across the space and provide enough of a comfort level for people to understand where things are,” says Dross.

REDUCE GLARE

ENHANCE INSIDE VIEWS It’s often an afterthought, but enhancing the views from inside the house is a natural fit for outdoor lighting. “You are able to enjoy your home’s landscaping and outdoor areas from the inside, creating a cohesive space from both inside and out, regardless of the season,” says Mager. To do that, layer in a variety of lights — spotlights on trees, lights dotted along pathways, accent lights on unique landscape features.

Strategically placed outdoor lighting fixtures from Philips HADCO add to the beauty and functionality of a backyard gazebo.

Light along paths should be cast downward using fixtures that are dark-sky-compliant, which are hooded and designed to cast light downward. This type of fixture also uses less energy and reduces light pollution. With a variety of lighting options you can create layers of light, allowing you to add or subtract as necessary. If appropriate, exterior-safe dimmers can also provide flexible control over the level of light, as can moveable fixtures that can be added to a patio or porch as needed.

CONSERVE ENERGY

If you get enough light, there are solar options for outdoor lighting, as well as LED, Energy Star and dark sky fixtures. Many options are available today to help you enjoy the benefits of good area lighting in cost-effective ways.

This year’s event will spotlight six homes currently under construction at Kings’ Chapel, a gated community with abundant green space set in the bucolic community of Arrington in Williamson County. Participating builders are currently assembling their design teams to decorate and stage the homes according to the latest design trends. “We are very excited to invite people to the beautiful community of Kings’ Chapel this fall to visit our Parade homes,” says David Crane, Parade of Homes chairman. Hours for the event will be 11 a.m.-8 p.m. daily (with the last ticket sold at 7 p.m. each day.) Tickets are $12 for adults and available at the gate. Children under 12 will be admitted free. Each Tuesday during the event is being designated as Realtor Day, with Realtors gaining free admission when they present their business card. Kings’ Chapel is located on Highway 96, just outside of Franklin. From Nashville, take Interstate 65 South to exit Highway 96 East. Travel about 7 miles to Kings’ Chapel on the left.

Local restaurants include Red Tree Coffee. Because of numerous community events, residents have many opportunities to meet throughout the year.
