So you can’t decide whether to live in Virginia or Tennessee? We’ll I have a great solution for you. Bristol is a small community that straddles both states, so essentially you can have the best of both worlds.

Live in a two state twin city has more than its share of advantages. The best one has to do with taxes and allocation of federal and state money. For instance, any small town in America gets more money proportionally than a big city. In a big city, you can use economies of scale to keep prices down, in smaller city that’s much harder. So in a place like Bristol you have a situation where the government gives people more than there national share of tax revenue.

While this might not seem so great, it is really great when you think that, because the city is split you still have all the amenities of a city twice its size, but the tax allocation is for a much smaller city. This makes for a better quality of life plain and simple.

It’s also a benefit because the cities have some different laws so you can take advantage of both of the states different laws. Taxes for some businesses in Tennessee are lower, other business have an advantage in Virginia…you get to choose.

So seriously think about real estate in Bristol, it is the best of both worlds.
