Default Moving to TN

Moving to TN in a couple of months.

Headed to Maryville, TN this weekend to look at a few properties. If you know a good place I should check out, let me know.

Due to the move, I have several item in the Florida Crew Classified section.

Moving from Jacksonville, FL. I expect to end up near Greenback, TN.

I'm just outside Chattanooga, so I'm not to familiar with housing in that area. Hopefully someone from around the south side of Knoxville can help you out. My wife has family out towards Sevierville; it seems like a nice area from the times I've been out there. I guess it depends on what you're looking for - apartments, subdivision, countryside, etc. I've also learned local newspapers are good resources to learn where not to live, lol.

Welcome to Tennessee I moved here 3 years ago and love it. I hope you like orange.

I like orange as long as it's next to green (Miami Hurricanes).

Expect to close on a house in about 3 weeks. Already signed contract on the place and are working out the little details now.

2200 sq ft house, 5 acres land - under $150K

Your moving to one of the best motorcycle riding areas in the country. I have a place in Kodak just north of Mareville as the locals pronounce it. I bought my Street Bob from Smokey Mt. HD in Maryville. A great bunch of people. They are riders.

I suggest picking up a Dual Sport, it will open up a whole new world of riding in the area.

Kool!

I picked up a Supermoto last year so I know exactly where you are coming from on the dual sport and you are spot on!

Thanks for the offers and welcomes gang!

Need to figure out how to get my tractor up there. Think I am going to have to rent a trailer.

It's a 1939 Ford 9N so nothing crazy but it's heavy.


Thinking about starting a Ride Like A Pro type motorcycle school up there. Thoughts?

Again, you are moving to the right area. I had thought about doing a personalized guide service when I retire up there. Good luck with your endeavor.

Moving there next summer myself, really looking forward to it. So many great places to live in eastern Tenn its hard to decide. Spent last summer in Gatlinburg for vacation and spent half the time riding up and down from Johnson City to Tellico Plains. Almost settled on Greenville, looked at a house last month while passing through. I think my heart is set on Johnson City area. Good luck to you and enjoy your new home!
