Welcome to East Tennessee — Here's What People Love About It
Greene and Washington County sit in the heart of upper East Tennessee — close enough to the mountains to feel it, but flat enough along the valley to make everyday life easy. People move here for a lot of reasons:
Housing, groceries, and taxes are all more affordable than most major Tennessee cities
Cherokee National Forest, Nolichucky River, Appalachian Trail, and mountains all within reach
Jonesborough is Tennessee's oldest town — history, community events, and a real main street
Ballad Health system and ETSU anchor strong medical and education options in the region
It's a region that rewards people who put down roots. And if you're moving here this spring or summer, you're arriving at the best time of year.
Why Storage Makes Moving to East Tennessee Easier
Moving to a new area is exciting but it rarely goes perfectly on day one. Closing dates shift, lease start dates don't line up, or you arrive before your new place is ready. A storage unit gives you a reliable middle ground — somewhere to put everything while you get settled without living out of boxes for weeks.
We're located right on Highway 107 in Chuckey — which puts us right in the middle of Greene and Washington County, easy to reach whether you're coming from Jonesborough, Limestone, Greeneville, or anywhere in between. You can unload your truck here, take a breath, and move things into your new home at your own pace.
Moving tip: If your move-in date and move-out date don't line up perfectly, rent a storage unit for one month. It's almost always cheaper and less stressful than rushing both moves on the same day or paying for extra time at your old place.
What to Store During a Move vs. What to Take Straight In
Not everything needs to go into your new home on day one. Here's a simple way to split it up:
✅ Take straight in
- Bedroom furniture and bedding
- Kitchen essentials
- Toiletries and daily necessities
- Clothes for the first few weeks
- Kids' and pets' essentials
📦 Put in storage first
- Extra furniture you're not sure fits
- Seasonal items and holiday decor
- Tools and garage overflow
- Extra appliances
- Boxes you won't need right away
This approach lets you get your new home feeling livable fast — without tripping over boxes for months while you figure out where everything goes.
A Few Things Worth Knowing About Living Here
If you're new to the area, here are a few practical things that'll help you get settled faster:
- Older homes are common — especially in rural Greene County. Many have smaller closets and garages than newer builds, which is why storage is popular around here.
- Weather changes fast — East Tennessee gets all four seasons. You'll want somewhere to rotate seasonal gear in and out without it taking over your living space.
- Outdoor culture is real — if you're into hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, or paddling, you'll accumulate gear quickly. Plan for storage from the start.
- Yard sales are big — spring and summer weekends around Greene and Washington County are packed with them. Great for finding furniture as you settle in.
- Highway 107 connects everything — it's one of the main arteries through the area, running right through Chuckey where we're located. Easy access from almost anywhere in the region.
