Although, I personally cannot see myself wanting to live in the suburbs – I can understand the appeal. I think in these cases it is the lifestyle that is being sold, not so much the location. I think that there are very similar neighborhoods across the country, but it really is just a matter of regional preference. I don’t think that is necessarily a bad thing.
Very remarkable!…there are a very few residential sites in the US that can boast of this wonderful blend of lush country living and modern urban amenities. No doubt Nashville made it to the Bloomberg’s list of 50 Best Cities of America!
