Ashland City is gaining distinction as a "bedroom community" for Nashville and the greater Davidson County Area. Many business owners and other upper middle class families have begun to spill into Ashland City and neighboring cities Pleasant View and Kingston Springs. Much of this is due to the accessibility to the larger Metro area and the more secluded and simple atmosphere these cities provide.

The Cheatham County area is fairly rural and undeveloped in comparison to other Nashville Metro areas making it a popular place to raise a family. Much of the town's activities revolve around youth and high school sporting events such as soccer, football and other outdoor activities. Strict building and development codes are leading to a higher quality of living within the Ashland City area.
