Brentwood or Green Hills are best bets, especially if the new place is downtown. Where he wants to totally avoid renting is anywhere just outside of downtown (except Green Hills [37204, 37205, and 37215 are good]), Antioch, the northern burbs (except Hendersonville, which is lovely but remote), and other nice places that are too far out of the city for a trial run (Franklin, Murfreesboro, Gallatin, Lebanon, Dickson, etc.).

I recommend Brentwood though (37027).
