In this video, I discuss the pros and cons of retiring to East TN. I then dive into 3 towns that you may want to consider. I discuss medical options, community, pricing and inventory, and things to do in each town. The towns highlighted in this episode are Townsend, Tellico Village, and Seymour. Since shooting and editing this video I have decided to make this a series so that I can share other good options as well.

Please remember.....If you are planning on moving to Tennessee..... especially East Tennessee...we are friendly, outgoing nice people. But please if you're moving from a woke blue state... leave your wokeness behind because we won't appreciate it and we don't want it for our State.

We arrived in Johnson City last year after spending too much of our lives in Connectishit. Don't worry about us bringing left wing values to Tennessee. We escaped that and are very happy with the local culture just as it is. We were just born in the wrong place.

@@dronedude5150 I'm agnostic. Not that anyone's religious beliefs are any of your business. The people here are the friendliest and most polite that I've ever met. It's routine for strangers to hold a door for you, and are unbelievably helpful. Quite different from the liberal state I left where everyone by comparison has a chip on their shoulder, and negative thinking is the norm.

Allergies are bad. Spiders and mosquitos are really bad. Roads are really narrow, no shoulder. So, have a good car. Sorry but property taxes have doubled. Went from $800 a year to $1600 now. We bought our house for $120,000. Now it's worth $300,000. We haven't even had remodeling done. Our deck is falling apart and our driveway needs new concrete.

Mosquitos and spiders are bad anywhere in the South. Property taxes everywhere have gone up due to property values. In general property taxes are still much lower than most other places. Sounds like TN may not be the place for you.

lol yeah, if you get triggered by the common conservative stuff like Trump stuff and guns and whatnot, Tennessee ain't fer ya. I'm a wee bit east of Tennessee but have a lot of relatives there and have been tempted to do some visits and maybe stays. If the summers are anything like where I am, they suck. If you can imagine a sauna, but like, several hours a day for months on end, that is summer. Some nights get bad too. The problem is, if you go somewhere with mild summers, the winters will get you. The winters here aren't that bad. I presume eastern Tennessee is similar enough. The mountains might get a bit colder and have milder summers. I remember a summer trip to the mountains of NC. It was like 96F where I lived and up high in the mountains it was in the lower 80s. My goodness it felt nice.
