If you are planning to rent in Clarksville TN, our experienced and friendly Property Managers have a few tips and recommendations for you.

  1. Conducting a little independent homework before contacting a rental agency can go a long way. Knowing what you’re looking for in advance can be massively beneficial to you and your agent. Experienced agents will know what to ask to help you find your ideal rental situation but it is always helpful if you have done some initial research. You’ll want to be able to answer questions including ideal home size, desired number of bedrooms/baths, size of yard, preferred neighborhood, schools, etc.
  2. We recommend visiting some neighborhoods in advance to save time in the selection process. Determining areas of town that you like and dislike will help guide your agent in the selection process.
  3. It’s imperative to know how much you can afford. A common rule of thumb is that your rent should not be more than one-third of your total monthly take-home pay. You will still need money for groceries, gas, etc., so be sure you know what you can budget for housing.
  4. It’s important to make sure you understand the various associated costs upfront. Individuals new to the rental scene may be surprised to learn that they will typically need to pay the first and last month’s rent, along with a security deposit, which is typically the same amount as the rent. So, if your rent is going to be $1,000, you may need to come up with $3,000 before you can move in. You will also need deposits for utilities, internet, and other assorted services you may want.
  5. Please read your rental agreements! Taking the time to read through all of the rental agreements will help you know what you are committing to in advance and will help you avoid potential future problems.

Please contact us when you are ready to start looking for a home to rent in Clarksville, TN. We will be happy to help you with these and other common questions and again, welcome!

Non-Profit Highlight: Roxy Regional Theatre

Non-Profit Highlight: Roxy Regional Theatre

The Roxy Regional Theatre, renowned for its entertainment and educational opportunities, was once a movie theatre during the 1900s.  What makes the Roxy Regional Theatre into what it is today? 

Early History

Originally called The Lillian during the early 1900s, it was the first movie theatre in Clarksville, TN, and it was the hub for local entertainment. In 1915, the Lillian was rebuilt after a fire and entertained patrons with silent pictures. During the Great Depression, the Lillian went “dark;” and then with the arrival of Fort Campbell, the Lillian was renamed the Roxy.

After another fire destroyed the venue in 1945, the Roxy was completely rebuilt. For nearly 40 years, The Roxy entertained Clarksvillians with first-run movies through the 1980s. Then, after sitting vacant for three years, Tom Thayer and John McDonald revitalized the historic theater, re-opening it on November 3, 1983, as a live stage performance theatre.

What is the Roxy Regional Theatre?

The Roxy Regional Theatre provides entertainment to the Clarksville community through live theatre performances. In 1995, a professional company was created due to the demand for Shakespeare, other classics, school curriculum-based productions, and holiday shows. The Roxy Regional School of the Arts was also established in 1995. The school offers teens extensive training in modern theatre, and provides them with an opportunity to work directly with professionals in the industry.

Non-Profit Highlight: Dream Factory Clarksville

The Dream Factory is a non-profit organization dedicated to granting the wishes of children who live with chronic illnesses and/or disorders. The Dream Factory began with an all-volunteer chapter in Hopkinsville, KY, and since has grown to over 37 chapters across the country.

The Dream Factory’s mission statement encapsulates their passion – “We grant dreams to critically and chronically ill children from the ages of three through eighteen”.

Maintained by dedicated volunteers and hard-working individuals, this organization aims to raise funds in order to grant the dreams of children within their local chapter communities. By maintaining the organization through an all-volunteer basis, 96.1% of all money raised is used to grant wishes. This has allowed the charity to be recognized by Charity Navigator, the largest evaluator of charities, as a 4-star rated charity for eight consecutive years. The Clarksville chapter hosts several events throughout the year to raise money for their organization.  In 2019, they were recognized as one of the charities in The Best of Clarksville campaign.
