Living in Clarksville

The whole of Clarksville has the same feel – quiet, suburban and family-friendly. There’s not much distinction by neighborhood, and most of the population here ranges in age from mid 20s to mid 50s. There are quite a few families here and many of the parents commute to work at least 18 minutes or so. Restaurants are a little sparse; it’s mostly the big chains like Red Lobster, O’Charley’s, etc. but the Kansai Japanese Steakhouse is one of the best places to eat in town. The nightlife leaves a little to be desired as well – there aren’t really any bars outside of the ones you find at the chain restaurants. But there are a number of great shopping centers off Veterans Parkway and Lewis and Clark Parkway. Either way, if you’re coming here to settle down, you’re probably not out for the nightlife and fine dining options anyway! The upside is that your kids will love the big yards and quiet, safe communities.
