Attracted by lower property costs and taxes, Amazon has also announced it would set major operations in downtown Nashville, and New York money manager AllianceBernstein said it would be moving its headquarters to the city, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. In just 23 years, the metro Nashville region has gone from 1.3 million residents to 2.1million, per the US Census Bureau, increasing the value of property and the cost of living . Still, while Nashville real estate has become more expensive, it is still relatively low when compared to other major US cities. The median home sale price at the end of February was $414,012, compared with the nationwide median of $327,667. However, just five years ago the median Nashville house cost $290,983. Remacia Smith, who grew up in Nashville, told the Wall Street Journal she recently was forced to move to the suburbs with her five children. 'It almost doesn't look like Nashville anymore,' she said. 'Whew Lord, I wish people would stop moving here.' Meanwhile lifelong resident John Michael Morgan, on his part, told the outlet he is concerned about Nashville keeping its essence. 'Nashville's always been a big town that felt like a small town,' said Morgan. 'Now we're a big town that feels like a big town.'
