As a native Nashvillian and long time East Nashvillian ( 13 years ), I love that this article focuses on the East Nashville community pride. We have kept our little urban neighborhood pretty hip and cool over the years and love that  new residents who move to East Nashville automatically share  our sense of community while also bringing their own to the neighborhood. While East Nashville still maintains it’s diversity, artsy vibe it is a very southern neighborhood with gorgeous streets, front porches for porch sitting of course..and charming homes. I am fortunate to  help many buyers relocate to East Nashville from many parts of the country and I get to see their perspective on my neighborhood..which I love. I hope you enjoy the article I posted below from Southern Living Magazine..

East Nashville: Nashville, TN

Shorten Your Morning Commute
Urban areas on the rebound are just for urban pioneers, right? Don’t tell that to people moving into East Nashville. “We have fewer pioneers and more families moving permanently into the area,” says Josh Ellis, who lives in a remodeled 1905 Victorian with his wife, Stefanie, and their newborn son. After 10-plus years of a slow and steady rise, the neighborhood has managed to keep its eclectic, artsy vibe while welcoming a diverse mix of newcomers. “Of all the great things happening here, when I see young moms pushing strollers down the sidewalks, I know this place is back,” says local shop owner Debbie Goodwyn.

Whether your relocating to Nashville or you are a Nashville native, East Nashville is a community that you should definitely check when looking for a Nashville home. One East Nashville neighborhood that should be on your radar is Inglewood. Inglewood is quickly becoming East Nashville’s hippest neighborhood and for good reason. Inglewood is so rich with character. One can literally have the feel of living outside the city and also have the convenience of being only 15 minutes or less to downtown Nashville,Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Music Row, Belmont University or any other Urban locale. The commute south to Cool Springs, Brentwood or Franklin is approximately 25 minutes.

Inglewood homes have definitely appreciated in value over the past 5 years and will continue to do so with the addition of business to the neighborhood such as Riverside Village which host several small restaurants and is located at Riverside and McGavock. In addition to Riverside Village there is one of my favorites, Village Pub.

Home prices in Inglewood and in East Nashville are stable. Inglewood home prices range from under $100,000 in parts of Inglewood where there are still some investment properties up to $300,000 plus for a home in the Brush Hill area of Inglewood. Inglewood is a large area with some great streets and a home can be found to fit just about any price range and any life style, which is one of the many things I love about this area.
