A range of subdivisions can accommodate different budgets and lifestyles, with most home prices falling from the low $100,000s to the low $600,000s. Crystal Lake Commons, the first gated community in Wilson County, and Clearwater, located on Buckhorn Reservoir, are two examples of subdivisions here. The highly rated Wilson County Schools district serves families in Sims, and there are many things to do in town. Two community centers serve Sims, and Sims Community Park is a local go-to, often hosting events and seasonal celebrations. Shopping and dining, however, require a drive.
