Caption: CODE FOR NASHVILLE: 1. PERSONAS My name is Sarah, and I'm new to Nashville. I am temporarily renting an apartment while I look for a home.
I want to be more familiar with the area. I'm looking for a source where I can find a neighborhood to live in. I have a family of four with three little children under seven years old. It would be great if my future home could be in an area with great schools, parks nearby, and family- friendly.
Caption: CODE FOR NASHVILLE: 2. PERSONAS My name is Mike, and I have lived and worked in Nashville for the past four years. I'm looking to buy, but Nashville has changed a lot. I know my way around Nashville, but as I drive around, I notice a lot of new places. I’m looking for a source where I can keep up with the growing city. I want to discover up-and-coming neighborhoods, great restaurants, and unique places to hang out.
