Living in East Nashville

East Nashville sits just across the Cumberland River from downtown Nashville. It is made up of several older neighborhoods, including Lockeland Springs, Edgefield, Inglewood, and Eastwood, with Five Points as a long time gathering spot for local shops and restaurants. Shelby Park and the Shelby Bottoms Greenway run along the river, with trails, open fields, and a golf course. Homes range from historic cottages and bungalows to new construction. I do not steer anyone to a street, a school, or a block. You give me your criteria, and I show you every home that matches.
