Hendersonville
If you’ve been putting off a move to the ’burbs because of the “cool” factor, let's stop right there. Johnny Cash once lived in Hendersonville, meaning, it’s cool enough for you.
Nestled 20 miles northeast of downtown Nashville on the north banks of Old Hickory Lake, Hendersonville is a fast-growing suburb with lots of opportunity for outdoor recreation balanced with plenty of indoor resources, from shopping to restaurants to Sumner County schools. The Streets of Indian Lake is the area's mall, with movie theaters and a bookstore.
According to Zillow, the median price of homes listed is just over $359,000.
