It's a very family-friendly city - great library, parks, nature trails. Many first-rate hospitals and universities. In spite of the music reputation, there is an economic diversity which helps the city to weather economic crises. East Nashville (which has already been mentioned) is the happening area. But a couple of the adjoining areas are still affordable (Madison, Donelson, Hermitage).
Good Luck.
