Ideal Living’s Top 100 Best Places to Live 

Included In this list are planned communities, where thought is put into all aspects of the community regarding layout, design, and amenities. The featured communities tend to include at least one of the following: a waterfront location, mountain views, lakeside homes, golf courses, tennis courts, pickleball, watersports, hiking opportunities, biking trails, fitness centers, spas, and more.  

 

If you’re interested in reviewing the list and learning more, they’ve broken it down by region; you can find WindRiver among the Tennessee communities.

Why Tennessee? 

Out of the 100 communities, only six are located in Tennessee; to us, this makes them the best six communities! 

 

Tennessee is widely known for its seasonality and temperate climate; if you love being able to enjoy what each season brings, Tennessee is the right place for you! Plus, there’s an amazing setting; from the Smoky Mountains and the Tennessee River to the banks of the Mississippi River with many lakes in between! 

 

In addition, Tennessee is a wonderful place to live if you’re looking for a low cost of living. The state has the fifth-lowest average annual cost of living in America, more than 10% below the national average; thus, making it an excellent choice for retirees and families to call their new home.
