Why is Johnson City such a great place to live? Check out Forbes Magazine's, Relocate-America's national survey and ...Inc. Magazine's 'Best Places to Live' to see what the experts have to say!

Those of us who have lived in East Tennessee didn't need Forbes Magazine to tell us how great Johnson City is. We knew the secret couldn't be kept for long. We live in the most beautiful area of the country-and top that off with the low cost of living, low crime rate, excellent medical facilities and colleges and universities.

Johnson City is surrounded by everything a nature lover could desire: hiking in the Appalachian Mountains & Creeper Trail, whitewater rafting down the Nolichucky, swimming & fishing in streams and lakes such as Watauga, South Holston, Boone & Patric Henry, enjoying the Blue Ridge Parkway and snow skiing in the nearby Western North Carolina Mountains such as Sugar and Beech. For those who enjoy a day on the links, the surrounding area includes nationally-ranked private courses as well as high quality public courses.
