Crossville has a population of around 7,000 and it is the county seat of Cumberland County, which puts it right in the center of one of the most scenic regions imaginable, rich in historic lore and billed as "one of the best-kept secrets in Tennessee." A state in the heartland where American values still ring true and people have a sense of community that trumps any selfish desires people may harbor. In fact, Crossville Tennessee has been acknowledged for this great community spirit more than once.

The city was chosen by Rand McNally as the No. 4 location in the nation for retirement, which triggered a large amount of real estate inquiries. Among the reasons for this honor are the area's mild climate, (the summers here are hot and not too muggy, and the winters are warm and mild compared to up North) abundant natural beauty, an affordable and leisurely lifestyle, a progressive educational system, sound economic development, a wide range of recreational pursuits, ample natural resources, diversified and well supported industries, plenty of shopping and entertainment, and (perhaps most important of all), friendly people who will welcome you with a smile and make you feel immediately at home.
