Mt. Juliet, Lebanon and Watertown
The three towns feel different. Mt. Juliet has a suburban feel. Lebanon offers a wider mix of established homes and new construction. Watertown feels more small-town. The right one depends on how you want to live day to day and how far you're willing to drive.
With new construction going up, bring your own agent to the model home. The builder's rep works for the builder. See new construction.
Getting around Wilson County
Most people drive on I-40. The WeGo Star commuter train also runs from Lebanon toward Nashville, which can change the math on a daily commute if it fits your schedule.
