Very high tourist traffic. Cannot really answer as to the work availability. Do some research. That being said, it is a beautiful area. The national park, Nashville is relatively close. The great outdoors. Great place to retire. In my opinion. Good luck.
Seems that people are e moving to there. If your looking for quiet and peaceful might be for you
Do your research...dont go in blind...just my opinion
I will be coming from a town about the same size and here we also have to travel for the grocery store and others, I've been use to remembering if I have milk at home or I better get some before I head home. Lol
It is a beautiful area. Many wonderful things nearby, except Nashville, sorry. That being said, There is very little if anything to do in Townsend. To have any money or lifestyle, you must bring it with you. All the other wonderful nearby things would soon wear and then boredom is all that remains. For me and my slower pace and my extremely relaxed lifestyle, it is tolerable. Get happy with eating at home because dining options are very limited and except for two or three the rest are not that great. Come for a week long visit and then will will have more to consider before you leap.
Awesome place to live. Will more than likely travel 30 min or so to any major grocery store or town. Alot of others are moving here too. It's just a good place.
