I recently accepted a job in Nashville, roughly the Midtown area. My girlfriend will be moving too, we’re a mid-20s couple with no kids. No idea where in the city she will be working yet unfortunately.

Priorities for us are safety and a reasonable commute, and we would like easier access to nature without being awfully far from the city, which seems to push us towards Brentwood or Bellevue based on what I’ve read on this sub. Are there any deciding factors between the two that would make us lean a certain way or any other areas we should look into?

Also if anyone has had any good experiences with particular apartment complexes in those areas, recommendations would be great, looking to stay under 2k.
