| Its long-standing reputation as the country music capital of the world has earned Nashville the title of ìMusic City USA,î but this growing, energetic city is more than a one-dimensional community. People here seem to have an abundance of creative energy and talent that transcends many levels of artistic and cultural pursuits. Many of those individuals who may be at a country music concert or show one night may very well be seen the next evening at an outdoor jazz festival, attending the opening of a new art exhibit at the Frist Center or a performance of a Broadway play at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
Newcomers usually cite a number of reasons why they are attracted to the Nashville areaÖits diverse industry, quality health care facilities, highly respected colleges and universities, a low cost of living, wide variety of housing choices and prices and its growing economic strength.
More and more new and upscale residential neighborhoods are being developed throughout the metropolitan area, including such bedroom communities as Franklin, Brentwood, Gallatin and Murfreesboro.

Today, as its economy grows and attracts more and more industry and jobs, Nashvilleís reputation continues to grow as one of the nationís best places to live.
