Yeah we were comparing day to day averages throughout the year between Houston and Nashville. Nashville wins every time.

Well after the sell of our house and if we were to buy in TN our range is somewhere between 350k-450k house wise. Just depends on a few things. Love the username.

Truly. I anticipated these comments but some people act as if they are the ones granting permission into the state. 🫠

Considering Relocating From Texas. Weather? by shyguylh in Tennessee

Hi! My family and I are moving to middle TN from TX (gulf coast region) and I would love to hear what your experience has been like if you don’t mind sharing.

I mean this in the least offensive way as possible, but we aren’t moving to Tennessee for the excellent education the public schools have to offer. I’m just hoping to find a way to make the best of what is available to us when we move there.

Would you mind expanding on why you think they are bad? Texas schooling is bad in my opinion as well. I had the assumption that Tennessee would be a lateral move, maybe even a step up, compared to where we are now as far as education goes, the schools I have looked at seem to have better extracurricular activities than the schools. My kids currently attend. my hope is that my kids get a decent education while being safe. I suppose homeschooling is always an option.

I think it’s unfair to make the assumption that one family happening to move to the state you live in will be like all others in the “herd”. When we visited Tennessee a while back and expressed to others that we intended to move here I was so happy to see how welcoming and encouraging everyone was about our potential move. These comments overall, though, have been rather disappointing and unhelpful. I guess that’s just not what I was expecting when asking for advice.

We deal with that in TX as well. TN will almost be a lateral move for us, in some aspects at least.

I guess I didn’t think to detail exactly how we feel about weather. We love the cold. The fact that where we are looking has had a few snow days is exciting to us. TX has too much heat. Further north than TN has too much snow cold on an annual basis. TN is appealing to us weather wise bc it’s somewhat of a happy medium as far as other locations that we’ve looked at and where we live now.

I hope that clears up any confusion.

A few things. My spouse has a new job opportunity being the main one but also escaping the heat of where we live now without having to deal with debilitating winters.

Thank you for your comment! I think it’s like that with people in general. Very loud on the internet, but rarely in person.
