Nashville’s Livability is an Economic Development Asset
According to a recent blog on BusinessClimate.com, “People are drawn to places where they can visualize themselves living and working and doing it better than anywhere else.” Livability is a factor with the power to either make or break a region, its companies and their employees. So what makes Nashville such a great region for a relocating talent and businesses? Three key reasons are Nashville’s talent attraction, anchor points and quality of life.
As Music City, Nashville naturally attracts the creative class that includes musicians and performers. Because the Nashville area’s economy is among the most diverse of that in any U.S. region, the region also continues to attract high-quality workers in all business sectors. Nashville supports many innovative and aggressive local programs to recruit workers to Middle Tennessee. Chamber-led workforce initiatives include programming targeted to young professionals, support of public education and higher education, the InternNashville program, an interactive CD-ROM, partnerships to support HR professionals and targeted industry worker attraction and retention.
According to BusinessClimate.com’s blog, “The more hospitals, colleges and universities in a city, the better the workforce and the higher the level of innovation and business development due to research and technology initiatives.” Nashville’s health care industry has a huge national and international impact. It impacts the economy each year by bringing in $30 billion and creating 210,000 jobs. Aside from health care, Nashville has numerous higher-education institutions. Nashville boasts 18 colleges and universities, and 100,000 college students. Sixty percent of the annual graduates remain in Nashville, and these educated workers help form the backbone of our workforce.
Quality of life is a primary reason so many relocate to Nashville. (As we write this, it is 54 degrees and sunny in January.) The region features all four seasons, and the average temperature ranges from 49 in the winter, to 89 in the summer time. To take advantage of beautiful days, people can flock to Nashville’s 92 public parks, 69 miles of greenways, six state and national parks, two recreational lakes, 56 public and private golf courses and many other recreational places. More nationally recognized is Nashville’s art scene. The thirst for good music is easily quenched with Nashville’s 124 performance venues, 79 live music houses, 49 performing arts halls, and more than 120,000 seats in a wide array of entertainment space. Nashville has its own opera, ballet, symphony, children’s theater, art galleries and almost anything someone could want in the arts. As for sports, Nashville is home to two major-league teams: the NFL’s Tennessee Titans and the NHL’s Nashville Predators.
Talent development and quality of place/livability are key strategic drivers of the Chamber’s Partnership 2020 economic development strategy. The amenities of our great city attract people – which, in turn, attracts strong companies and creates an ideal environment for businesses to grow and prosper.

Making Music in a Home Recording Studio
You know when you hear a great tune and you can’t get it out of your head? Nashville is like that – once you hear its song, you’ll never want to leave!

The promise of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau says it best, “The Promise of Nashville, where the music is inspired, created, recorded and performed, is to provide the ultimate musical entertainment experience, celebrated throughout our diverse cultural and entertainment offerings, and presented in an authentic, unique, friendly and unpretentious atmosphere.”
The truth of the matter is music can be made almost anywhere, especially if you have a professional recording studio at your fingertips. Below are homes in Nashville and throughout the Sotheby’s International Realty network that feature built-in professional recording studios.

Middle Tennessee’s Blueprint for Prosperity: An Economic Development Scorecard
At a recent Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce meeting, the region’s economic development “scorecard” for the July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011 fiscal year was announced.
So how did Nashville stack up in the past year?
In this graph, you’ll see that the Nashville-area economy continued to gain momentum in the past 12 months. In year-over-year gains, 2010-2011 gives clear indication that we’re bouncing back to growth levels in job and labor force performance not seen in several years. People are returning to the workforce as job opportunities are increasing. And employment gains from the start of 2011 have exhibited the best sustained result in five years.
More good news – Middle Tennessee is attracting jobs and job growth through expansions and relocations. From July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, the Nashville region has logged a total of 103 announced relocations and expansions, adding 7,321 new jobs, nearly $1.7 billion in capital investment, and 5.8 million square feet of space to be occupied by these growing firms.

Where to live in Nashville: East Nashville
A wall mural in the 5 Points in East Nashville
East Nashville is an up-and-coming area east of downtown Nashville across the Cumberland River. The area is mostly residential and mixed-use areas with businesses lining the main boulevards. The main thoroughfare is Gallatin Avenue and Ellington Parkway with smaller arteries interconnecting the neighborhoods.
East Nashville is an area of creative and artistic flair. It has a trendy progressive atmosphere and after ten plus years of a slow and steady rise, the neighborhood has managed to keep its eclectic, artsy vibe while welcoming a diverse mix of newcomers.
Like it attracted many in the late 19th century, it continues to attract young urban professionals and liberal minds because of the easy-going environment and quaint neighborhood qualities. There are many coffee shops and art galleries interwoven within the neighborhoods making it a bikers’ or walkers’ paradise.
The Pied Piper Creamery is a notable stop for many in East Nashville.
Unique and notable restaurants include Margot Cafe, Marche Artisan Foods, Batter’d and Fried, Pied Piper Creamery and Pied Piper Eatery, and Sweet 16th Bakery. The Tomato Art Fest is a popular summer festival in East Nashville specifically at the Five Points, where Woodland, Clearview and 11th streets intersect. There are many other festivals and fairs throughout the year also.
East Nashville has many smaller neighborhoods, each with their own character and housing styles. Historic houses fill these smaller neighborhoods, along with some residential redevelopment in the outer neighborhoods since it has been spreading from the Edgefield area and more young people are calling it home.

Gloria maintains a positive attitude and is always willing to go the extra mile for her clients. I would highly recommend her as a realtor. - Carolyn Ridley
