Nashville may be having a moment right now, but that doesn't mean it's fallen behind as one of the most historic and beautifully designed culture hot spots in the country. We have quite a few little pockets to live in that are sure to strike your fancy, whether you're a shopping enthusiast or a highly paid college student (do those exist..?). History has a high price tag, but a reeeeal pretty face. Here are the most historic Nashville neighborhoods.
7. 12 South
Historic Nashville? Yes, in a way. It's become known for being a friendly family neighborhood with a lot of upper class charm and a darling park, to boot.
6. Edgefield
A little bit edgy, Edgefield is located at the bleeding edge of East Nashville, tucked back behind Fatherland. You'll find lots of older homes and gorgeous architecture in these historic Nashville neighborhoods.
5. East End
East End is best known for the hoppin' neighborhood hot spot, 5 Points. You'll still be finding quite a few brick houses that bleed historic Nashville charm.
4. Sylvan Park
Located on the west side of town, Sylvan Park is made up of old Nashville bungalows and manicured lawns that are coming up on half a century old. We can see how this was positively an oasis back in the day.
3. Belmont-Hillsboro
You can see the history plain on the face of this historic Nashville neighborhood. From the brick storefronts to the wear and tear to local sweet spots, it's a darling place with a high rental price and real close to all the college kids, bringing the whole place up to speed.
2. Lockeland Springs
Located two miles northeast of downtown, this is a nicer area of East Nashville that is home to historic Nashville homes that have been updated and restored, as well as the uppity Lockeland Table that is as gorgeous as it is delicious.
1. Germantown
The Nashville historic district of Germantown used to be a blue collar neighborhood that fell victim to the ravages of time and crime. In recent years the real estate has skyrocketed and the neighborhood is now an uber trendy spot for the self-employed and artistic.
