For young people who are attracted to East Nashville, but not able to swing a large mortgage, Maxwell Heights is attractive. It has plenty of historic architecture and is super convenient to downtown & commerial development hot spots (5points, UglyMugs/Rosepepper, etc) in East Nashville and Downtown.

Inglewood has a long history, and a flexible name. Loosely, it can refer to all of East Nashville above Douglas street. Strictly, it refers to the neighborhood between Gallitan, Cahal and the Cumberland River.

Inglewood's streets curve and bend with moderate suburban homes, interspersed with corner stores and churches. Inglewood is the classic suburb for The Suburb arrived in the 70's-80's-90's.

Lockeland Springs

Lockeland Springs might be the heart of East Nashville. It's homes are attractive and historic house-after-house, street-after-street. It's residents are East Nashville evangelists who love to talk about how much they love their neighborhood.

Shelby Hills

Shelby Hills an affordable neighborhood convenient to Downtown, Shelby Park and 5-points.

We almost bought our first house here (someone else got to it first), and it seems like a great place to live in East Nashville that's not as expensive. Especially if you enjoy Shelby Park.

East End

East End is wonderful--beautiful homes, but a little too edgy for your mainstream Nashvillian. The area is very walkable and many residents are artists and entrepeneurs--people with flexible schedules that like staying in the neighborhood.

As the neighborhood website says, "one of Nashville's oldest and best preserved historic neighborhoods."

Historic Edgefield

Edgefield: the original East Nashville.

The oldest homes and churches are here, and many spectacular homes have survived over 100 years.

It still takes my breath away to drive down Fatherland or Russell or Boscobel towards the city. Straight ahead is the city skyline with the Titan's stadium in the foreground, and on each side of the street are fancy, tall homes and ornate churches.
