Hello! My husband and I are looking to relocate from Marco Island Fl here in the next 6 months top. We are 30 and 29 with 2 small children ages 7 months and soon to be 5. We have been looking into Knoxville, & maryville Tn as well as Franklin Nc, Waynesville, and Asheville NC we are so undecided and it seems everytime I think I made a decision I change my mind. So any info you could provide would be much appreciated.. I am a bartender so I need somewhere with restaraunts bars pubs etc I guess a night life. My husband is a cdl class A driver he has worked for pepsi, coke cola, and also delivered for beer distrubutors.. So any of those places would have to jobs in those industries.. Also looking for a country feel would like to live out in the country with mountains. I dont want to live in a big city or sub division right next to other homes.I dont mind driving 30 minutes or so to get to work or grocery shop or schools we do that now. We want privacy with a big yard for the kids to run free.. It would be nice to drive down a long driveway to our hidden home off the road.. As for housing would probaly start off renting need 4bdrm atleast so would like some affordable housing like 1300 monthly max.. Coming from Fl we most definilty want change of seasons.. Fl has 2 seasons hot or hotter sometimes cold. We want some snow not minnesota snow or cold but some snow and cold weather, and not too hot or humid summers... Also need good school systems my son will be starting kindergarden this year so this is also important.. so any info you can provide I really appreciate it help me go in the right direction. thanks nicole

My recommendation would be Hendersonville NC, or between Hendersonville and Asheville NC. Hendersonville is only a 30 min. drive, downtown to downtown, to Asheville along I-26 and there are many establishments you could work for in that vicinity, as well as for your husbands driving job. Because of the proximity to I-40 E and W, and I-26 basically northwest to southeast, CDL jobs should be plentiful. Either way you are going to have mountains. Maryville is also quaint, charming, family oriented and about 40 miles closer to the mountains than Knoxville. You may also want to look into Chattanooga TN, awesome !
