Let’s delve into the three most popular neighborhoods of East Nashville that you absolutely need to know about if you're considering making this area your new home.
1. Lockeland Springs
With an average home price of $933,000, Lockeland Springs takes the lead. This neighborhood is famed for its playful and slightly eccentric vibe, with a mix of homes built in the 1920s and 1930s, as well as new builds sprinkled in. But don't be mistaken, it's not overwhelmingly odd - it's just got its quirks.
Lockeland Springs houses 5 Points, a unique convergence of five streets that literally buzz with life, especially during nights and weekends. The area swells with patrons flocking to its bars and restaurants. Plus, in August, we host the Tomato Art Festival, an unusual yet premier event in East Nashville attracting 50,000 people to 5 Points.
For the outdoorsy types, Shelby Park and East Park are a stone's throw away, hosting numerous local festivals throughout the year, including the Hot Chicken Festival on the 4th of July.
Craving a gastronomic adventure? Lockeland Springs boasts an array of restaurants to satiate your palate - from Lockeland Table to Margot, 5 Points Pizza, Hunters Station, Edley's, Bar Taco, and Bills. Top off your dining experience with the fun, hip, and quirky bars like Red Door, Rosemary, and Urban Cowboy.
2. Cleveland and McFerrin Park
Next on our list is the booming Cleveland and McFerrin Park, with an average home price of $609,000. Its growth can be attributed to its location - just outside Downtown and within cycling distance of the upcoming Oracle campus in River North. The neighborhood features well-maintained sidewalks, parks, and walkable restaurants.
As a resident of this neighborhood, I can vouch for its world-class restaurants and the overall homely vibe it offers.
3. Inglewood
Inglewood, a vast portion of East Nashville's northern edge, rounds off our list. The neighborhood extends all the way to the Cumberland River and boasts an average sales price of $565,000. Inglewood is known for its spacious lots, abundant tree coverage, and, perhaps most enticingly, the most desirable school in East Nashville.
While Lockeland Springs might draw in more tourists, Inglewood offers a quieter, more local experience. A standout property here is a 1935 stone Tudor cottage, fully renovated and oozing with charm.
