JC has been great for us since we moved here from out of state 2 years ago. Better than we expected.

Is it democrat or republican? not a real political guy but I just have noticed a trend of transplants trying move to a great place and then vote the same way that ruined the places they are moving from

I've lived in Canada most of my life, and I've visited or travelled through at least 25 States. I can say without reservation that some of the happiest times of my childhood were camping in the southern States with my parents, including Tennessee. I may have been born and raised in Canada, but a place in my heart longs to settle in the south. I can't explain it, nor put it any clearer than that. God bless y'all.😊🙏🏽

A kind of haven which is hardly ever heard of news-wise. The countryside is gorgeous.

I’ve thought about moving there myself since I’m working remote now and rent is $1,200+ a month in Charlotte now. Also, North Carolina’s Covid restrictions are ridiculous.

Relocating in December from NJ to Church Hill. We are so happy to be moving to our new home..

As a native of JC, if you’re nuts please stay where you’re at!

Awesome video! Henry Johnson is my 5th great grandfather and I believe he would be very happy with the way things have progressed. There is something for everyone here. I would advise to stay away from downtown JC after dark, crime that way is rising and getting a little out of hand. If you are a transplant, welcome to a slice a heaven. Be ready to live life a little slower and always holler if you need anything!

Great video. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else! Shad and Stephanie are awesome real estate agents as well.

It seems like a great place to relocate to, I am sick of two seasons, SUMMER and summer.

Thank you for this video introduction. I live in Oregon and the climate seems almost identical year around without all the gloom and rain. Moderate and not too hot or cold. You are nestled up against some pretty good sized mountains too, and I love to hike. And then when I got into google maps and tooled around, it almost seemed like Switzerland in how tidy and well kept up were all the homes as you get into the less populated areas. My first impression then is that this is home to a lot of high quality people.

Thanks for all of the information. Tennessee people are really nice to you. We are from Florida where almost everyone keeps to themselves! We hope that TN will eventually be our home!

Thank you for this video, I live in Yucaipa, Calif.. and have family that lives in Johnson, City, TN. Even tho I haven't been to Johnson City, Iv'e heard a lot of wonderful things about it. From my family's members, and after watching this video, can even see more delightful things. I too myself am possibly moving to Johnson City in the very near future. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos So I can learn more about Johnson City.

Very nice and informative presentation. Thank you.

MOVE TO JOHNSON CITY 25 YEARS AGO . NOW LIVE IN BRISTOL . GREAT PLACE TO LIVE !

Great video. Thank you!

Great video. I like the city a lot!!

What a magical vibe I got while watching your video! We just sold everything we had & bought our camper in February & have been staying around different places & this is definitely one I will check out now! We love being out close to Farmland too. Would love to hear about more & more rural areas! Hidden gems of Tennessee are so magical to me! Thank you for your outstanding video.

here's a reason WE did ! MOTORCYCLING all those drop dead gorgeous mountain roads in east TN / western NC !!!

Great video!!!! Thanks 🙏. My kind of people ❤️🇺🇸

Great video! Visiting in March. Would love to link up.

I love that it's not the North East and the people are laid back and easy , friendly but the rents have gone up - It's beautiful here and an outdoor paradise - Johnson city has all the amenities - I have lived in a lot of places and I cannot find a reason to leave - I do a lot of outdoor activities here with friends

And please for the love of God learn how to drive in the snow if your coming here and yield does not mean stop

I am tired of Indiana winters (although they beat MN winters) and wouldn't mind eliminating winter altogether but can handle some winter as long as it is relatively mild. I am looking at rural Sullivan and east Hawkins counties as likely spots for a retirement homestead.

It’s also home to East Tennessee State University providing cultural and educational opportunities along with access to college sports.

Most of my Maternal Grandmother’s family moved from Johnson City to Central CA in the late 1800’s.

I moved to Tri City area without ever being in TN . The cost of living is half of were I moved from. Its a little cold for me in winter, but then I moved from an area that has 90 degree days in December.

I moved here from Seattle last year, it's a great place.

thanks so much! I will be in Johnson City this Aug with the possibility of moving there for residency next year and this was great information!

Yes it gets cold and snows in Johnson City. I'm from Florida and the first time I ever saw snow was when I was in college at ETSU.

Awesome beautiful and thank you

thanks

You guys make it really appealing to live there 💕

Watching frome Riverside CA. Heading to Tennesee in September

Cool

Best video on TN by far.

Great video. I love how you show your beautiful town in the background of your video. What is the average cost per square foot to build a custom home in your area?

Our favorite celebrities!! ❤

Awesome area to live!

Here's the irony... I realize you're business is selling properties, so you have to market and solicit for customers. Yet, the very reasons you give for moving there will disappear as you attract more and more people from areas (CA, NJ, NY, CT MA, WA, OR, ect ect) that are very different both culturally and especially politically! Trust me, we live in what use to be a very rural NE state. As it grew and was overrun by buyers from these same states, what made it special was lost. House prices went crazy, traffic grew, crime grew, local govts, school boards, local reps positions were taken over by people who have a very different point of view. The simple local folks that use to look out and care about each other were driven out further and further. Today me have very few if any locals left in many towns, "Everyone" is from away and the whole place has changed, and not for the better! Locals that grew up here, can't even afford to live here anymore! Yeah, they say we will adapt and just want to fit it and live the same way.. it never happens!! People are a products of their early environments and hardly ever change... Okay, you'll have some, but the majority will not! 15 to 20 years from now, you will have changed the whole place from what and the way Life Should Be!! Good Luck! Kennebunkport, Maine

Johnson City, Bristol and Kingsport are exactly 21 miles from each other between all 3 cities in each direction.

Tennessee is changing Johnson city tn is changing too I feel sorry for the poor people who live there 😢

That's so weird... I've lived in Washington state, Arizona, and Texas too! The only one you mentioned that I haven't lived in is Florida, but it's on my list! 😁

OMG I love that area. Prime number 1 target to raise my kids and live retired.

Greetings from the People’s Republic of California. Love all these great videos about Johnson City and the NE Tennessee. Fair Question: Has the scourge of “progressive,” woke, liberal politics penetrated the Johnson City area yet? As a conservative, that’s also important to me along with all the other factors you mentioned.

After the first of the year i want to move to tenn. I love your area. I want to start a homestead but probably need to rent something so i can look around . how are rentals there?

What about the dewpoint average in the summer? Is it very hot & humid there and the surrounding areas, like Bristol, etc.? Hot & humid like FL or tolerable? (can't breathe in FL it's so humid) 🙂

I played football and went to college at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City in the mid 70's. I'm sure it has changed drastically since then but it was a great place for me.

I am interested in moving to Tennessee and have been looking in the NE part of the state. I am concerned with crime and Johnson City's rankings are quite high, few highter than the national average. It would be nice if you would address this in your videos. If I'm not mistaken, I think you may have done a video about Maryville as well. Looked these up on Niche. Johnson City ranks a C and Maryville a C+.

I watched a video that said this part of Tennessee gets 40” of rain a year. That’s enough to keep me from moving there.

Absolutely one of the very best videos I have watched. You both explained and showed why Johnson City May be a great place for my husband and I to relocate to. Probably heading that way in the next day or two. By the way, how is the downtown? Are there plenty of restaurants, bars and live music? May look you up when we are there. Thank you.

No mention of days of precipitation and amt of rainfall per year? I really want to understand that.

Chad seems cool.

Thank you so much im looking for. 1 bedroom apartment or townhouse pet friendly and avin a hard time getting some one to get back to me about application s can u help?

Well Best places has property crime substantially higher than the national average. 35 national to 55 in J city...Still would consider moving there seems nice.

I live here...please don't come you will hate it

Summers are not as cool as stated. Nights don’t go down into the 50’s ever in this summer. Often they’re in the 70’s. I like to walk, and many nights I have to wait until 9 or even 10 o’clock for a temp I can walk in. Winters are the equivalent of a mild NY wInter, but they are cold! However, mild days may be scattered in here and there.

Very informative. Thank you. I’m looking at this area. Shopping for areas to raise a family in a Christian conservative-minded environment. How are the schools?

In 2016 I moved to JC after retirement to hike the many trailheads of the Appalachian Trail in the area. I spent 16 months hiking almost everyday and I got good at it. I loved the area, and the state government is the best in the country- kudos to them. But, I felt I needed to move up to hike the 14,000 ft. peaks in Colorado. That was a huge mistake! It is not the same Colorado it was when I was there 30 years ago. The politics are sickening there. How I long for Johnson City. Don't let these newcomers coming in change you! Be vigilant. Wyoming held onto their heritage. You can too!

Too many people are moving over here and especially jonesborough lol

how much is rent for a one bedroom?

Is there a lot of flooding there?

Great video. Thank you. There are two burning questions I have if someone could address I would appreciate it. 1. Congestion? My husband loves the Nashville area but it is way too congested for me. If there is a large influx of transplants from other parts of the country then are you seeing the small town vibe diminishing? Traffic growing? How is the infrastructure keeping up? 2nd, and I hope I don't offend anyone, but i want to leave California for many reasons and a huge motivator is political. I'm not going to get into a political debate, but can anyone share where Johnson City sits politically? Thanks!

Wait..there's barely any Californians moving there? Based. How soon can I move?

Good thing people are moving here because everybody I know their wants out Tri-Cities has become so drug-ridden it's a shame to say I'm from there

i thought this was about johnson city

How can we get in touch with you?

Cheaper than Asheville NC!!

Cold cold cold Deep snow Everything fried!! No vegan Go back to NY,DC Or deleware!

What about horseriding?

How does it compare to Washington State?

Everything is still out of my price range. I'll never be able to realize the dream of owning a home and with the startling rise in rent everywhere, I'm looking at being working homeless within the next 3 to 5 years. It's a very scary and depressing time to be living in. I'm 60 years old and not much to look forward to.

How’s the ethic diversity?

Where in Michigan did you grow up at... Be happy you left. Our car insurance is most expensive in the USA with the worse roads ever. Everything is wrong here.

I see the crime rate is listed extremely high , can you speak on that

Wondering if it's ok to be gay in this area. My partner and I are semi-retired in our 50s and considering a relocation. We are conservative, which is unusual in our community, and wondering if we'd be accepted in a place like Johnson City or NE Tennessee.

I like the name Johnson city but I'm looking for a place where no people are at I lived in Phoenix all my life I'm sick of city

I have an interracial family. How well would we be accepted?

Yuppies. Yuppies everywhere.

The most important question is: What are the demographics?

low paying jobs in johnson city and there's zero tech job ie electronics

10% sales tax

You have shared all the pretty stuff about Johnson city but let’s not forget about the opinionated racist people that are here as well..this place would be even better if people of color were made to feel as welcome as you say. Let’s tell the whole truth so no one is surprised if they decide to move here.

I have lived in Springfield Tn. for 15 yrs. now as we moved hereb from Las Vegas Nv. I am now 60 yrs young and never had more then 2 speeding tickets that I didn't win in court. But this town is the MOST CORRUPT TOWN EVER. Sure don't want to die here.

Hello. Do you find a lot of transplants from Chicago or anywhere else in Illinois?
