East Nashville has a lot going on, and it's the most affordable part of town There is a alternative non country music scene there. Before the pandemic, Nashville had a ton of new restaurants. There have been a lot of STEM jobs, which have accounted for a lot of the growth, but it's driven up prices of everything as well. Downtown and mid town are expensive. I've lived here since the 80s so I may be biased, but I think it's a great city.
