My story is simple. I’m 65 years of age and made bad financial decisions when I was younger and always thought I would work long enough to fix them. Two days after turning 62 that dream was shattered when after 45 years of continuous employment my company said they were heading in a different direction and terminated my employment. Fast forward nearly four years and I work three PT jobs plus DoorDash and my wife works FT plus two PT jobs. Last June I overcame being hospitalized five days with kidney failure. We’ve been married 40 years. Have three adult children we all put thru college. Each has a masters degree and married. We have a grandson Damien who is 2 and 2 additional grandsons on the way in December. We’ve been in our tri-con home 8 years and despite our financial issues have never once been late with the rent. Last month my wife took a substantial amount from her own retirement to help get us just a little breathing room in life. With soon to be three grandsons all in Northern California every penny matters. We have cut back everywhere and my hope and dream is to be able to travel every three months to see these boys. At my age everyday is a blessing and I desperately want Damien, Otto, and Lucas to know who we are.

We found ourselves in a tight spot in January of 2023 after we terminated our lease and then found out our previous housing arrangements fell through and we were now faced with being homeless. I was 8 months pregnant with our second daughter and we were in a panic trying to figure out where we would live. There were not a lot of houses available at the time, at least not in our preferred area and within our price range. I found Tricon and began our search and found several amazing looking homes and all within our budget. With my husband and I working full time and juggling daycare pickup/drop off, we thought going to see houses would be a giant hassle. But we found setting up a time to see the house was incredibly easy and allowed us to do it on our time. We compared a few houses, and looked at other rental companies but Tricon stuck out the most. We toured 2-3 houses through Tricon and then made the decision to submit our application. We submitted our application on a Friday afternoon and got the approval by Tuesday morning. It was an incredibly easy and quick process. All in all, we were able to start moving into our new house within 2 weeks of seeing the house, applying, and being accepted with our move in date. We have lived here for 3 years now and we have had various maintenance requests that have always been handled quickly and efficiently. We even had a tree from the neighbors behind our house fall and take out the fence just last year. What would be a nightmare for any homeowner, was a very stress free process with Tricon. They set up the removal and repair and had everything taken care of in less than a week. Everyone has always been friendly and professional and there is never any judgement when answering a maintenance request. Even when you can’t figure out how to turn your shower on when you first move in! The maintenance worker came out and was more than happy to show us how to operate anything we had questions on in our home. We have welcomed our third daughter in the time that we have lived here and this place has really become less of a stopping point and has become our home. We have never hesitated to renew our lease and we are so happy that we will be here for at least another year. There are a lot of horror stories about rental companies, but I can honestly say Tricon is one of the best. I would recommend Tricon to anyone who is looking for a well maintained home for a decent price and great customer service!

I moved in to our townhome with my fiancé from our tiny apartment. It was a big transition for us, especially as we’re planning a wedding (which is next week)! Things like this tend to be stressful because he works night shift. However, I never felt alone during the entire process. Everyone at Tricon was so helpful and understanding of our needs. John answered all of our questions and was very flexible with us getting everything turned in. It turned a usually stressful time into just pure excitement to start the next chapter of our lives! On top of that, this community is safe and calm, maintenance is here quickly, office staff are prompt, neighbors are friendly, so what more could you want? When I first spoke with John on the phone about leasing a unit, he said that I would not find a better property, for an affordable price, in a safe area anywhere else in Nashville, and he was 100% correct. The only thing I would change is that we had moved here sooner!

I have to say that Tricon has been nothing but an absolute pleasure to work with for renting a house! I was not sure what to expect when I first began my house hunt a few years ago. I was apprehensive at first because I had never worked with a property management company for rentals as I had only dealt with an apartment complex or individuals. I was not sure how complicated the process would be or how it would go if there were a problem. They certainly took away all my fears and doubts. I had been searching for a home for several months and happened to land on some rentals by Tricon. There was one house that I fell in love with and applied for right away. The wait to hear back from someone was merely a day or so. Unfortunately, someone beat me to the punch and applied for the same house right before submitting my application. I was disappointed but continued my search. encouraged me to search their site for other available houses and mentioned they would let me know if the one I was interested in became available again. Several days passed and I received an email that the house was available as the previous applicant did not commit to a lease. I was approved right away! The doubts started to creep back in, and I could not believe how easy it was to apply, get approved, and start the process for signing the lease. Tricon was great at keeping me updated on each step accomplished and what to expect next. Their instructions were clear and concise and made it one of the smoothest experiences I ever had in any rental agreement I entered. Once a move-in date was agreed upon, I simply packed up, showed up at the house, and moved in. That simple! This is my third year being in this house and I must say that I am as pleased today as I was the day I started working with Tricon. I have had a couple of maintenance requests, and their service has been top-notch by the technician being professional, timely, and truly listened to my concerns. They made sure that the issue was handled right away and made sure I was satisfied with the outcome and work completed. I would highly recommend Tricon to anyone that is interested in renting a home. With the purchase prices of houses today, I will continue to strive for home ownership, but in the meantime, I will enjoy the ease and comfort of Tricon to take care of my rental needs. You will not be disappointed!

Moving to a new area while serving in the U.S. Army can be stressful, especially when timelines change and you’re unable to move immediately. From the beginning, the team at TriCon made the process much easier for me and my family. Even though I wasn’t able to move into my home right away, the staff stayed in communication, answered every question I had, and walked me through each step of the process. They were patient, understanding, and helped ease a lot of the uncertainty that comes with a military relocation. What stood out most was how willing they were to work with my situation. Military moves don’t always go according to plan, but the TriCon team treated me with respect and made me feel supported throughout the entire process. Their professionalism and customer service gave me confidence that I had chosen the right place to call home. Since moving in, I’ve enjoyed being part of the community and appreciate having a home where I can focus on my family and my mission. As a Soldier, having dependable housing and a team you can trust makes a huge difference, and TriCon has provided exactly that. I’m grateful for the positive experience and the support they showed during a challenging transition.

Home Is More Than Four Walls Since moving into our Tricon home in 2018, this house has become so much more than a place to live—it has become home in every sense of the word. Nestled on a quiet dead-end street and tucked into a peaceful cul-de-sac, our home offers a sense of serenity that is increasingly hard to find. Perched on a ridge overlooking a beautiful tree line, we’re surrounded by nature’s beauty year-round. Some of our favorite moments are the simplest ones: sitting outside in the evening, watching breathtaking sunsets paint the sky while the sounds of nature replace the noise of everyday life. What makes this home truly special, however, is the community around it. Over the years, we’ve developed meaningful friendships with our neighbors. What began as friendly waves across driveways has grown into genuine relationships that feel more like family than neighbors. There is comfort in knowing that we look out for one another, celebrate life’s joys together, and support each other through challenges. The quality and thoughtful design of the home itself have also contributed to our experience. The craftsmanship, spacious layout, and attention to detail create an elevated living environment that has allowed us to build memories, host loved ones, and create a space that reflects who we are. After eight years, this home remains one of the greatest blessings in our lives. It has provided stability, community, comfort, and countless memories. While a house is made of walls and windows, a home is built through connection, belonging, and the life lived within it—and that’s exactly what we’ve found here. We’re incredibly grateful to call this Tricon residence home.

My family and I have been living in our Tricon home for the past seven months, and it has truly been a positive experience. From the moment we moved in, we felt welcomed into a neighborhood where people are friendly, respectful, and genuinely care about one another. As a mom raising two boys, having a safe and comfortable place to call home means everything to me. One of the things I appreciate most about living here is the peace of mind I feel knowing my children are growing up in a community where neighbors look out for each other and everyone is welcoming. Another reason our experience has been so positive is the Tricon team. Anytime I've needed assistance, whether it was a question, a concern, or help with something around the home, the staff has always been responsive, professional, and kind. Knowing that help is only a phone call away makes a huge difference. Over the past seven months, this house has become more than just a place where we live. It's where we've shared family dinners, laughed together, celebrated milestones, and created memories that we'll carry with us for years to come. Having a home that feels stable, safe, and welcoming has had a meaningful impact on our lives, and for that, I am truly grateful. Thank you for giving residents the opportunity to share their stories. We are proud to call this community home.

After a Stage 4 esophageal cancer diagnosis that came out of nowhere, I lost my husband, my soulmate, the love of my life just 10 months later 3 days after his 59th birthday. My world was turned upside down and I was forced to sell our home to settle probate, and was facing an incredibly overwhelming season of transition. With no time to buy, I needed a place to rent quickly, but what I found with Tricon was so much more than just a temporary roof—it has become a true sanctuary. The property itself has brought immense peace to my soul, filled with the daily comfort of watching humming birds, squirrels, deer, turtles, owls, and listening to countless birds singing sweet melodies. Beyond the beautiful wildlife and peaceful creek, the neighbors have been incredibly kind and welcoming during a stressful time and trying to heal from grief. We recently celebrated my grandson’s 2nd birthday here, filling the house with joy and laughter. While my life looks different now and I will never be the same person, this isn't just a rental house; this home has shown me that even in times of transition, we can still find a beautiful place to gather, celebrate life, and create meaningful new memories. I am so grateful to call my Tricon rental home.

My family has truly enjoyed living in our Tricon home. One of the things we appreciate most is the location. Being in a safe, friendly neighborhood near an excellent elementary school has made a huge difference for our family and provided a wonderful environment for our daughter. We also love having a fenced backyard and garage. The backyard gives us space to relax, spend time together, and enjoy being outdoors, while the garage provides valuable storage and convenience. What has stood out most during our time as residents is the responsiveness of the Tricon team. Whenever we’ve needed repairs or maintenance—whether it was our garage door, fence, flooring, air conditioning, or other household issues—the requests have been handled quickly and professionally. Knowing that help is just a maintenance request away gives us peace of mind and makes renting much less stressful. Our house has truly felt like home, and we’re grateful for the positive experience we’ve had as Tricon residents. It’s the combination of a great neighborhood, a comfortable home, and reliable service that has made our experience such a positive one.

This August marks six years in my home, and with my current lease, I am approaching a total of seven years as a resident. In a world where people move frequently, I think that says a lot about how much this community has meant to my family. What started as a rental house has truly become our home. As a parent, providing stability for my children has always been one of my highest priorities. One of the things I appreciate most about Tricon is the flexibility of the renewal process and the availability of longer-term lease options. Over the years, I have renewed my lease five times, and each renewal has been simple and straightforward. Having the opportunity to stay in a home and neighborhood we love has allowed my children to grow up with consistency, security, and a true sense of belonging. The location has been a tremendous blessing for our family. Being within walking distance of my children’s schools and close to everything we need has made daily life easier and given us more time together. Instead of worrying about long commutes, we’ve been able to focus on making memories. Some of my favorite memories have been made right here at home. Every year, we’ve celebrated my son’s birthday in our backyard, filling it with family, friends, laughter, and excitement. Looking back at those birthday parties over the years reminds me how much life has happened in this home. We’ve watched our children grow, celebrated milestones, and created traditions that we look forward to year after year. This home has also become the gathering place for our family. Since moving here, I have hosted every major holiday celebration, from Easter egg hunts in the backyard to Thanksgiving dinners around the table. Family and friends know our home as the place where everyone comes together. The space has allowed us to build traditions, strengthen relationships, and create countless memories that my children will carry with them long after they are grown. What makes this community truly special, though, is the people. My children have built wonderful friendships throughout the neighborhood and have grown up surrounded by familiar faces. They can walk outside and find friends to play with, something that has been invaluable as they’ve grown up. We have also been fortunate to have wonderful neighbors, especially our next-door neighbor, whose kindness and friendship have helped make this neighborhood feel like family. I have consistently had positive experiences with the Tricon team as well. The maintenance staff has always been friendly, professional, and personable, and whenever I’ve needed assistance, concerns have been addressed promptly. On the occasions I’ve contacted corporate, my questions have been answered quickly and any issues have been resolved efficiently. After nearly six years, five lease renewals, and a path toward seven years in the same home, what stands out most is the sense of community, stability, and support that this home has provided my family. My children have walked to school, made lasting friendships, celebrated birthdays in the backyard, hunted Easter eggs with family, gathered around the Thanksgiving table, and enjoyed the comfort of growing up in a neighborhood they know and love. Home isn’t just where you live—it’s where your life happens. For our family, Tricon has been the place where we’ve built that life together, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

A Great Neighborhood and Convenient Place to Live When I moved into my rental home in 2024, I did something I never imagined—I signed a lease without seeing the house in person. It may sound crazy, but life moves fast. I reviewed photos, asked questions, and hoped for the best. The first time I saw the home was the day I picked up the keys. I’ll admit I was nervous. What if it wasn’t what I expected? What if the neighborhood wasn’t the right fit? Those concerns faded as soon as I drove into the subdivision. Tree-lined streets, families outside, kids riding bikes, and neighbors chatting in driveways gave the area an immediate sense of warmth. Several people waved as I passed, and it felt like the kind of neighborhood where people genuinely know one another. That first impression has proven accurate. One of my favorite parts of living here is walking my dogs, especially in the morning or around sunset when neighbors are out and about. I’ve come to recognize familiar faces tending gardens, pushing strollers, or walking their own dogs. Brief conversations about local restaurants, neighborhood news, or everyday life have created a strong sense of community. The location is another major advantage. Schools are nearby, and grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, pharmacies, and other essentials are just a short drive away. Having so many conveniences close by makes daily life easy, whether I’m running errands, picking up takeout, or meeting friends for lunch. The property management team has also been responsive and professional. Maintenance requests are handled promptly, communication is clear, and it’s reassuring to know residents are well supported. This location is in Murfreesboro. It offers quick access to major roads, making commuting and getting around town simple and convenient. Residents enjoy being close to parks, schools, shopping centers, and a wide variety of dining options, all while living in a peaceful residential setting. The area offers plenty of dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences within minutes of home. The combination of neighborhood charm and easy access to amenities makes it especially appealing. For anyone considering renting here, I can honestly say the neighborhood exceeded my expectations. It’s rare to find a place that offers both convenience and a genuine sense of community, but this area delivers on both. If you’re looking for a welcoming environment, friendly neighbors, and easy access to everything you need, this is a location worth serious consideration. Looking back, signing a lease sight unseen felt like a gamble. Instead, it led me to a neighborhood that quickly turned strangers into familiar faces and uncertainty into confidence. What began as a leap of faith became something far more meaningful: a place that truly feels like home.
