Montgomery County: Clarksville and Fort Campbell
Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, straddles the Tennessee and Kentucky line beside Clarksville, and VA loans are the most common way to buy here. Many buyers are on orders with a fixed report date, so we request the Certificate of Eligibility at once and start the appraisal early.
New construction is constant, and builders here are used to VA buyers. Prices are moderate. Service members who bought here before sometimes keep the home as a rental when they move; whether your VA entitlement is still tied to an earlier home affects the next purchase, so tell us what you own. Along the Cumberland and Red rivers, some properties are in a mapped flood zone.
