Mount Juliet

Farther East of Hermitage and south of Lebanon Pike you will find the area known as Mt. Juliet. Here you get what other areas promise in a small town with its own government and quiet way of life nearby a major city and in fact not far from Nashville's international airport. Located in Western Wilson county, Mt. Juliet is synonymous with good quality housing, good schools and good community, all made better by the location between Old Hickory Lake and Percy Priest Lake and the cornucopia of outdoor activities available on each. Homes here - nice homes - start around $249K and can go much higher, but right now for $289K you can buy 5 bedrooms in 3350 sq feet of a house built in 2005. Not bad at all, and especially not given that it is difficult to find anything wrong with this area. The only drawback would be if you work in downtown or West Nashville and have to fight I40 going in and out with everyone else. But if you work out on Lebanon Pike or down I24 you may very well experience little traffic or even the benefits of a reverse commute. There truly are not that many places as well balanced as Mt. Juliet, with down to earth residents, good public schools and two private choices to boot.
