Louisville
Louisville is the largest city in Kentucky, resting alongside the Ohio River on the Kentucky-Indiana border. The architecture in Louisville is a mix of old and new, with historic neighborhoods comprised of Victorian houses and towering skyscrapers scattered throughout the downtown area, many of which contain upscale apartments and condos available for rent. The amenities in Louisville are just as diverse as the architecture. Renting in Louisville affords you the opportunity to see the famous Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, learn more about a boxing legend at the Muhammad Ali Center, and meet a range of animals at the Louisville Zoo. The city’s award-winning restaurant scene is an exemplary display of Southern cooking. Just outside the city lies the Louisville Mega Cavern, a vast underground space offering a broad range of adventurous attractions. Getting around from Louisville is easy with access to Louisville International Airport, TARC, and a system of interstates that connect the city. Cincinnati and Nashville lie to the north and south respectively, making Louisville a great starting point to begin exploring the surrounding regions.
Nashville
Nashville, also known as Music City, is the capital of Tennessee. Often heralded as a center for country music, Nashville has also become a hub for various other genres such as bluegrass, jazz, classical, pop, soul, rock, gospel, and Americana. Renowned music venues in Nashville include the Ryman Auditorium, the Grand Ole Opry, Bridgestone Arena, and several honky-tonk bars on Broadway. Touting big-city amenities while maintaining a small-town feel, Nashville offers residents and visitors access to a wide range of attractions. If you choose to rent in Nashville, you will have the chance to visit the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere, check out the latest exhibit at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, see the Parthenon at Centennial Park, tour the Country Music Hall of Fame, catch a performance at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, watch the Tennessee Titans score touchdowns at Nissan Stadium, and bask in stunning riverfront views at Cumberland Park. Home to Nashville International Airport and several Interstate highways, Nashville allows residents easy travels and commutes.
Knoxville
The University of Tennessee is undeniably the focal point of Knoxville, and the school’s orange and white motif is everywhere. Largely thanks to the big student population, Knoxville’s nightlife scene is among the best in the region. Traditionally, the bars and restaurants along Cumberland Avenue - or "The Strip" – have been the preferred night spots in town; while The Strip remains popular, redevelopment in downtown and in the Old City has spread out the after-hours revelry. With so many students in the mix, the local rental market is packed with affordable options as well, so it’s easy to find a budget-friendly house, condo, or apartment just about anywhere in town. But the city is much more than your typical college town, offering a charming environment surrounded by gorgeous hills and forests, with a generous helping of Southern personality. If boating is your thing, join famous Tennessee Vol Navy as they cruise the river behind Neyland Stadium on game days. A testament to Knoxville’s rich cultural diversity, the city hosts dozens of festivals and community celebrations throughout the year.
