Quality of Life

A city of some 25,000 citizens, Gallatin enjoys an unsurpassed quality of life, evidenced by the unprecedented residential growth the City has seen over the past decade with no signs of slowing down.

Perhaps the greatest selling point Gallatin has going for it is its high, yet affordable quality of life. Within a half hour drive of downtown Nashville and all of the amenities Music City has to offer, our citizens also have plenty of entertainment options without leaving the city limits.

On a day-to-day basis, citizens also enjoy a community and culture that places a high value on education, at both the primary and secondary levels, and rest easy with exceptional fire protection and a nationally recognized police department.

Shopping options continue to grow around town along with the addition of restaurants at all price points and the revitalization continues downtown on the square, highlighted by a new library. Gallatin’s historic downtown theatre, The Palace, is now complimented by Neighborhood Cinema Group’s 10-screen cinema. Our parks and recreation department, renowned public and private golf courses, and beautiful Old Hickory Lake provide countless outdoor recreational opportunities.

Other community assets that separate Gallatin from most cities of comparable size include Volunteer State Community College, Sumner Regional Medical Center, and local musical and community theatre events that add to the rich arts and culture of our city.
