Nashville, TN

Nashville undeniably has the “it factor.” How do we know? Well, people are coming here in waves, and it’s not slowing down. This bustling city’s creative vibe and welcoming spirit draw more than just artists. Major businesses like HCA Healthcare, Nissan and Bridgestone Americas are headquartered here, and Amazon plans to open its Operations Center of Excellence in the region in 2021. For those looking to hit the books, more than 30 higher education institutions are available, and we probably don’t have to tell you, but the options for dining, shopping and entertainment are amazing.
