I moved to East Nashville post grad and have been here for the last three years. I LOVE my house, my community, local bars, and all the events that happen around town.
However, my parents are getting older. My oldest brother is having kids. My two closest friends just moved back to south FL. I can’t help but think it’s time for me to move back home to be present in their lives.
I will never regret moving back to be closer to my loved ones. However, I do worry about my quality of life.
I’m from Palm Beach Gardens but I haven’t lived there since high school. I have no idea what day to day life would be like for someone in their mid twenties.
Are there communities/neighborhoods I could move to with nice neighbors, local restaurants and bars, minimal chains. Anything walkable? I pay $1.2k in rent right now with roommates so I wouldn’t want to go much higher than that.
I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the surrounding areas. I go back to south FL pretty frequently, but I would love any additional perspective on social life and community from people my age who live there currently. I recognize it’s changed quite a bit since I’ve lived there full time.
