Is Smyrna, TN a good place to live?

For buyers who want easy interstate access, jobs nearby and plenty to do outdoors, yes. Here’s what people love and what to plan for.

What people love

  • Easy I-24 access. Two Smyrna exits, plus Nashville International Airport about 15 miles away.
  • Parks and the lake. More than 800 acres of parks, 12 miles of trails, and part of Percy Priest Lake inside town limits.

What to plan for

  • Growth. Smyrna grew about 19% from 2020 to 2025, from about 53,100 people to 63,321 (U.S. Census estimates). That means new shopping and homes, and also busier main roads.
