Tennessee is a pretty big state. Is there somewhere in particular you are looking at? Are you trying to find a job and you just need to know what areas to look for? What industry are you in?
We used to live in East Ridge, which is a suburb of Chattanooga. It was very pretty there and the schools were really good. I have other friends who live outside of Nashville and love it. The suburbs outside of Memphis can be nice, but you probably don't want to live in Memphis. More info could help you get better answers.
