I recently got a new job in Nashville and will be moving down there, but I don’t know anyone in the city and don’t know much about the different neighborhoods.

My company went through a merger and my role is being relocated to Nashville. I’m 24, single, super social, and love being active. I’m not really into the heavy party scene I’ll go out occasionally and enjoy meeting people, but my lifestyle does not revolve around nightlife. I’m more into health, fitness, being outdoors, and finding a good community.

I’m hoping to live somewhere that makes it easier to meet people, has some walkability, and feels like a nice/safe area. I know Nashville isn’t known for being super walkable, so I’m trying to figure out which neighborhoods would be a good fit for someone in my stage of life.

I’ll also be commuting to Franklin for work, so I’d love somewhere that won’t make the commute miserable. Though I’m only one day a week in person so I’m fine with a far drive for a better social life location.

Any neighborhood recommendations? Are there areas you’d suggest looking into or avoiding? Thanks everyone!

Any advice is SUPER appreciated!!! I got 3 tickets from my company for tower Terrance seating, legends row club and silver badge & pre race pass (pit and garage access), and one lot N parking pass.

My bf and I will be coming down from new buffalo Michigan which is 3 hours not counting traffic and my dad will be coming down from Chicago 3h 30m with out traffic drive. We are going up and coming back the same day.

I am really worried about this entire parking situation as we have one parking pass and two cars (since my dad will be meeting us their separately) I also am reading online that it can take hours getting in and out which would significantly change our trip. We can only leave so early (maybe 5:30/6:00am to get there) so we are bound to hit traffic. (Indiana is also EST time and we are in central time so we will lose an hour getting there)

I think either my dad will park in someone’s yard to avoid traffic and walk in since he will be getting there later and hopefully that will avoid a lot of in and out traffic for him since he has a much longer drive? But for parking in the N lot is it even worth it to park there or should I ditch the ticketed parking and park much further out and just walk in? I’m trying to avoid as much traffic as possible since we have SUCH long drives.

Also any tips to maximize the club and pit experience? It says we have to pick up credentials at the administration building on 16th street??

What would be the best game plan or logistics for the day based off what we have? It’s a dream of my dad’s to go but he might not end up going because of how difficult these logistics are. I am feeling a bit discouraged because their is not an option for us to get a hotel because we have plans the next morning we have to be at but this traffic I’m reading about online is making it seem like we will be in the car longer than we will even be able to be at the race.

I would be absolutely devastated to leave early before the ending to beat traffic but we might have to end up doing that because with such a long drive we can’t afford the two hours sitting in traffic.

Any tips or advice GREATLY APPRECIATED as a super excited first timer!!!!!!
