DAVIDSON COUNTY

Nashville has long been known for its country music scene, but these days the city draws attention for more than its tunes. National publications are taking note of everything Nashville, from food and fashion to music and more. Last year, Forbes magazine ranked Nashville on its list of “Boom Towns for College Graduates,” and Forbes.com calls Music City one of the “Best Places for Business and Careers.” And Time declared the city as “Red Hot” for a burgeoning music business, a diverse and thriving music scene, and our charming ability to live among the stars and leave them alone. Some may think of Nashville as a meat-and-three kind of town, but Nashville’s hip food scene is getting noticed. Travel + Leisure lauded the city for offerings as diverse as hot chicken (Prince’s), Mexican popsicles (Las Paletas) and farm-to-table meals (Margo Cafe & Bar). And with standout restaurants like Adele’s, The Catbird Seat and Husk, the city is drawing attention from publications like USA Today and Southern Living. Nashville’s vibrant music scene is another trait that earns nods. Travel + Leisure recently cited the city as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. And with venues like The Bluebird Cafe, 3rd and Lindsley, The Station Inn and Ryman Auditorium, it’s no surprise that Orbitz declared Nashville’s music scene as #4 in the country (right behind NYC, LA and Chicago). Nashville has even been noticed for one of its delightful Southern charms: its accent. While accents are sometimes the source of jokes and ridicule, Travel + Leisure readers seem to think otherwise. On a list of “America’s Most Charming Accents,” readers ranked Nashville #4. Seems folks love the Nashville drawl, y’all, noting that residents

here have “added some city” to their Southern accent. Music City is also a thriving hub for industry; many companies have a long history here. Bridgestone, HCA, BMI, Thomas Nelson Publishing, Louisiana-Pacific and Dollar General all have corporate offices here — a testament to strong business foundations and economic growth. 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. — Diane Hughes, Tennessean Custom Publications

Tips for first-time home buyers

ne in four first-time home buyers say they are completely unfamiliar with the mortgage financing process, according to a report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Even among those who understand the process, the report found that many first-time home buyers still had significant knowledge gaps in important areas such as mortgage rates, closing costs, down-payment requirements and income required to qualify for a loan. “Not having all the information available could lead to consumers paying a higher interest rate or failing to secure an affordable mortgage for the home they want,” says Eric Hamilton, president of Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance. “While most first-time home buyers understand the importance of their credit report score in securing a mortgage, it’s important they arm themselves with comprehensive knowledge.” Vanderbilt Mortgage offers these tips for firsttime buyers:

ADJUST YOUR BUDGET A mortgage payment can increase your monthly housing expenses, so prepare by calculating what that amount will be and begin saving that same amount every month so you can get used to the budget change in advance. Use a free online payment calculator to help you predict your payment and understand your current debt-to-income ratio.

PLAN FOR A DOWN PAYMENT Nearly all home loans require a down payment. Some home loans require as much as 20 percent of the purchase cost as a down payment, although some Federal Housing Administration loans may require less. Decide how much you’ll need and create a savings plan to help you reach that goal.

CONSIDER LOCATION AND TYPE OF HOME Location, size and style all affect home cost. A larger home in a high-income area will generally cost more, and property taxes will be higher on a bigger, newer, well-located home. Knowing the estimated cost of the type of home you want to purchase can help you better manage your budget.

STAY ON TOP OF YOUR CREDIT Lenders use your credit score and report history to determine mortgage eligibility and the interest rate they will offer you. Review your credit report in advance. You can download a free report annually from www.annualcreditreport. com. If you’re planning to apply for a mortgage, review your report more frequently. If your report has errors, work with the bureaus to correct them before you apply for a mortgage.

ANDREYPOPOV/GETTY IMAGES/THINKSTOCK

look for when reviewing your credit report. Use online tools such as email reminders and automatic payment options to help ensure you never miss a payment or make a late payment.

WORK ON YOUR DEBT If you have delinquent balances, bring them up to date as soon as possible. If you carry a lot of revolving credit card debt, work to reduce it by paying more than the monthly minimum payment. While it helps to have a report that shows no late payments, the most important thing is to not have any delinquent balances before you apply for a mortgage.

PLAN FOR ESCROW In addition to the amount you will need each month toward repaying your mortgage, you’ll need escrow — an amount added to each monthly mortgage payment that is applied toward homeowners insurance premiums and/or taxes. Estimating taxes and total insurance costs can help you better understand how much your escrow will be each month, and you’ll be able to budget more accurately as you prepare for homeownership. This amount may adjust every 12 months if your insurance premium or taxes change for the next year. — Brandpoint Content

DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE Do you prefer walking and biking to sitting in traffic? Love the hustle and bustle of the city? Maybe you abhor long commutes and enjoy taking a spontaneous stroll to a nearby restaurant for dinner and music. If this sounds like you, we suggest you forget life in the ’burbs and go urban. A growing resurgence in downtown Nashville has brought a wealth of living options to the city’s urban landscape, along with a vibrant community of restaurants, shops and clubs. For urban dwellers, The Gulch in downtown Nashville is the place to be. Properties like Velocity, Terrazzo, Encore and the Viridian offer the ultimate digs for downtown living. And with the tremendous growth this former railroad yard has seen, you can always find something to do here. Shop at Two Old Hippies, Apricot Lane or Urban Outfitters. Work out at Barry’s Bootcamp or chill out at Sanctuary for Yoga. Meet friends for drinks at Bar Louie or The Pub Nashville. Walk over to the Whiskey Kitchen or Sambuca for dinner. If you feel like getting your art on, stroll on down to the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. Of course there’s always music. (It is Music City, after all.) Travel + Leisure recently cited Nashville as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. And Time noted last year that music and entertainment contribute about $10 billion and 56,000 jobs to the city’s economy every year. If you’re looking to set up shop, office space in The Gulch is plentiful right now — but that’s sure to change as more residents are drawn to the downtown lifestyle. Speaking of the office: Did you know that Forbes.com ranks Nashville 10th in the country among its list of “Best Places for Business and Careers”? And sixth among “Best Cities for Jobs”? But the growth, action and entertainment extend way beyond The Gulch proper. There are numerous dining and entertainment options down on Lower Broadway and out on West End. Not to mention the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, The Parthenon, Centennial Park, Hillsboro Village … the list goes on.

Attracted by affordable housing, good schools and job opportunities, residents here enjoy a variety of cultural, educational and recreational opportunities. Rutherford County continues to grow and receive national recognition for the quality of life it offers. Forbes magazine recently ranked the Nashville/Davidson County-Murfreesboro-Franklin area sixth on its list of “Best Cities for Jobs,” and last year Murfreesboro ranked 11th on Wallet Hub’s list of Fastest Growing Cities. Murfreesboro, the county’s largest city, is the geographic center of the state. Higher education is easily accessible at Middle Tennessee State University, the Tennessee Technology Center at Murfreesboro and Draughons Junior College.

Home buyers can find a little small-town luxury at Murfreesboro’s Wynthrope Hall, while townhomes and spacious single-family homes are available at Evergreen Farms.

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).

WILLIAMSON COUNTY Whether you’re strolling downtown Franklin, dining in Cool Springs, shopping at The Factory or looking for antiques in Leiper’s Fork, you’ll find that Williamson County supports diverse lifestyles and offers a wealth of housing options. From Franklin’s Westhaven community, which features a walkable design with retail establishments located in the neighborhood, to the rural setting of Winterset Woods in Nolensville, you’ll find plenty of new homes to choose from. And whether you choose a larger city like Franklin (the county seat) or Brentwood, or one of the smaller communities like Arrington or Fairview, you’ll find housing and amenities in a variety of styles and price ranges. It’s hard to decide whether Franklin is a big city with a smalltown feel or a small town with big-city advantages. CoolSprings Galleria and its surrounding business district serve a variety of consumer needs — from dining to furniture, housewares to clothing and more. The Crossings in nearby Spring Hill features tenants like Target, Bed, Bath and Beyond, and Kirkland’s. If you prefer the rural life, head to the pastoral paradise of Thompson’s Station, located just minutes from downtown Franklin and not that far from downtown Nashville. In nearby Nolensville, you can stop in at the new Nolensville Farmers Market for fresh produce, flowers, homemade foods and more. Williamson County is home to businesses large and small, from home-owned enterprises like Bathos and McCreary’s Irish Pub to national headquarters for companies like Nissan, Tractor Supply and Mars Petcare. Small wonder, then, that Bloomberg ranked the Nashville area (including Franklin and Murfreesboro) as number eight on its list of Top Ten American Boomtowns (based on population growth and growth in gross domestic product).

WILSON COUNTY

If you’re looking to settle in an area where you can enjoy smalltown values with big-city benefits nearby, Wilson County is a wise choice. Whether you choose the county seat of Lebanon with its quaint city square, Mt. Juliet with its easy access to Nashville or Watertown and its rural charm, Wilson County offers a place where business is booming, education is valued and the county fair is the event of the year. Business is booming here, which is a testament to the friendly business climate. No doubt that business-friendly attitude played a part in the growth of the Providence community in Mt. Juliet, which is adding Providence Central, a mixed-use community of housing, retail and office space. Wilson County has also been making strides in expanding and upgrading the county’s schools. The county commission approved a $63-million school building plan that paid for a new high school in Watertown (which opened last year) and brought expansions at West Wilson Middle School and West and Rutland elementary schools. In recent years the county has added Winfree Bryant Middle School in Lebanon (2011), the new Lebanon High School (2012) and a new high school in Mt. Juliet (2008). Other signs of growth include the new Highway 109 bridge joining Wilson and Sumner counties. Completed last year, the $29.5 million four-lane structure, replaced an old two-lane bridge built in the 1950s. Leaders in both counties expect the bridge to alleviate traffic congestion and provide an economic boost for their communities. Rail transportation is set to expand in Lebanon with a new stop on the Music City Star line. The recent award of a $1.6-million grant will help fund the proposed rail station at Hamilton Springs, making it Middle Tennessee’s first mixed-use development designed around a train station. Work on the station is due to start this spring and should be complete by year’s end.

But it’s not all growth and business in Wilson County. People here also know how to have fun. Take their pride in producing a top-notch county fair. According to Carnival Warehouse, based on attendance and other attributes, the Wilson County Fair ranks among the top 50 fairs in North America. Heck, even Ashley Judd — who has shown her prized pigs at the fair — gushed about the event during a segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. From pride in a county fair to savvy business and civic leaders who promote a healthy business climate, there are many reasons to love and live in Wilson County. — Diane Hughes, Tennessean Custom Publications

ROBERTSON CO. The pace of life may move a bit slower in Robertson County — and residents here do tend to like it that way — but that hasn’t slowed the wheels of economic growth in this rural outpost located just north of Nashville. But don’t let that growth concern you. County leaders here are working on a carefully thought-out plan for development. The plan’s goal: preserve the county’s agricultural economy and quality of life while attracting businesses and jobs to designated growth areas, mostly within the county’s existing city centers. The county’s proposed 2040 Comprehensive Growth Plan calls for school improvements, road improvements and more diverse housing options. Other goals include retaining and creating jobs, adding more higher-paying jobs and attracting a diverse population and workforce. With companies like Electrolux Home Products (the county’s largest employer) and Unarco Materials Handling (the second-largest employer in the county), Robertson County seems well on its way. Johnson Electric and Martinrea Fabco also call this area home. In addition to the growing economic picture in Robertson County, there’s also the way of life that residents are determined to maintain. From local treasures like Burdett’s Tea Shop & Trading Company to the Shade Tree Farm (where you pick your own apples), don’t expect the pace of life here to change anytime soon. To learn more about Robertson County, pick up a copy of the Robertson County Fact Book, published by the Robertson County Times, or view the Fact Book online at rctimes.com.

If you’re looking for peaceful country living just a stone’s throw from the city, look at Cheatham County. With wooded hillsides, open farmland, and scenic rivers and lakes, the area offers an attractive setting. The communities of Kingston Springs, Pegram, Pleasant View and Ashland City offer a neighborly feel despite the county’s rapid expansion. Whether in a suburban or rural setting, residents here have the best of both worlds: a serene environment with easy access to city life and jobs. Sidewalks and lighting have given downtown Kingston Springs a sleek new look, and because of numerous community events, residents have many opportunities to meet throughout the year. Pegram is a great place to raise a family and is quaintly referred to as “The Pretty Little Town of Pegram.” The town has its own special treasures. Popular places include Finch’s Country Store and Mud Puddle Pottery Studio (which offers pottery workshops and classes). The county seat of Ashland City sits on the bank of the Cumberland River. The city’s award-winning parks and recreation program earned the Governor’s Environmental Stewardship Award for its conservation efforts involved with the Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail. Under the guidance of Renaissance Ashland City, planners are working to carefully preserve the city’s heritage while embracing the benefits of progress. To learn more, pick up the Cheatham County Fact Book, published by The Ashland City Times, available at the newspaper’s offices located at 202-A N.
