Moving can be a little discomforting and, sometimes, you may not know what to expect. However, moving to Tennessee could be an excellent decision for you if you like the low cost of living, the fantastic scenery, and several other benefits. Here are some pros and cons to moving to Tennessee.

Moving to Tennessee: Pros and Cons

Pro: Low Cost of Living

Who doesn't want to live in a place with a low cost of living? Tennessee is the second inexpensive state to live in. When you add this to the fact that Tennessee has cheap houses, low unemployment rates, and no income taxes, you get a haven full of scenic landscapes, great coffee, and beautiful music. However, before moving, you'll have to decide which part of Tennessee you'll be moving to and plan your finances accordingly.

Pro: Scenic Landscapes

Tennessee is rife with waterfalls, rolling mountains, and many waterholes for you to cool off during the hot summers. Tennessee offers endless opportunities for biking experiences, hiking, and even fishing. Exploring Tennessee's beautiful nature and scenic environment during your free days will be one sure way to re-energize and recharge your body and mind for the workdays ahead.

Pro: Incredible Cities, Great Food, Fantastic Music, and the Best Beer

Whatever city you chose to move to, one thing is for sure; you'll not be disappointed. Tennessee has the best coffee with vast numbers of coffee shops in almost any city you go to. It also has the best food with Nashville being home to the savory, crispy hot chicken, Memphis with its mouthwatering barbecue, and Chattanooga with its endless fusion.

Tennessee is also home to some of the greatest artists like Justine Timberlake, and some of the best start-up bands like Paramour. If you love music, then Tennessee is the place to go, and you may be thinking its only country, but there is definitely more!

Pro: Low Property Taxes

Tennessee has some of the lowest property taxes, which go for as low as $1000 each year. However, this depends on which part of Tennessee you'll be moving to since you may have to pay property taxes of up to $2000 in other places such as the Memphis area.

Con: Tornadoes and Hurricanes

Tennessee is not in the heart of Tornado alley; however, it does get hit by the occasional tornado, especially in the late spring. You'll also experience a few thunderstorms with severe lightning and an occasional hurricane threat.

Con: Driving and Traffic

If you move to Tennessee, you'll want to own a vehicle even though there are public transportation options. The reason is that public transportation is not very reliable; therefore, buying a car will go a long way to help you make your daily commuting trips.

Moving to Tennessee has its pros and cons. However, it's quite simple: if you love the music, the food, and Tennessee's lovely scenic nature and you're thinking of moving there, then you'll feel right at home. Get in touch with us, Coast Movers, to help turn your dream into a reality.

 Verified Great Experience.  Needed a couple of movers to help move in my Daughter for a job relocation.  On short notice Coast Movers came through.   Jonathan, the owner, was super helpful.  Along with a good price they helped out when we had a vehicle breakdown and had to change the move date/time on less than 24 hours notice.   The two movers that came out were polite and worked very fast.   Great experience and I highly recommend Coast Movers.

 Verified I only needed a baby grand piano to be moved from a friends house in GH to ours in GH, so I contacted Coast Movers. The owner, Jonathan, was great in helping me understand what was involved, and later got me in touch with Jason, who took care of the scheduling. They did a great job in getting the job done around their other bigger jobs, and went out of their way to make it happen seamlessly. The three man crew knew how to handle the instrument, including disassembly, protecting, and re-assembly. All done in a little less than three hours from start to finish. The pricing was fair and honest, and I was more than happy to tip the crew for a job well-done. Oftentimes, some movers will trap customers once they have your items on the truck, only to tell you then that the price is going to be more than quoted. I've had that happen to me in the past, but in this case, the price was exactly what I was told it would be! Now I understand why Coast Movers has been in business for 15-years. It was a bonus to find a local company to support, too. Thank you, Coast Movers and the excellent crew who helped us with this project yesterday!

 Verified The 3 man team that moved my son was amazing. For 7 hours they did not stop moving except for a short lunch break. Coast Movers moved from a 3 story place with lots of tight corners to a 2 story with more tight corners and didn't damage a single wall or piece of furniture. They brought supplies to protect our walls and doorways and furniture and treated every box/piece of furniture like it was their own.

 Verified I've used Coast Movers more than once in the past. I've also referred friends and family.
I've experienced and heard nothing but great things!
I'd definitely recommend them if you're in search of moving service in or near the Gig Harbor, Seattle, or Kitsap area! Good communication and easy to deal with! The price quotes
And expected move times were right on the money. And prices were lower than expected. Always Less than competitor's prices.
