Town, small town or acreage
The choice here is really about how much space you want and how far you're willing to drive for it. An established Dickson neighborhood keeps you close to town. White Bluff and Charlotte offer a smaller-town setting. Acreage outside town gives you the most room, and the most homework on access, utilities and septic. See land and acreage.
Getting around Dickson County
I-40 shapes trips toward Nashville. Getting to Clarksville depends much more on the exact address. The county's economic development office reports an average worker commute of about 33 minutes, but your commute is the one that matters, so drive it at your real hours.
