Located just across the Cumberland River from downtown Nashville lies one of the most progressive areas in the state known to locals as “East”. East Nashville in particular has seen a major increase of interest from buyers due to extreme revitalization and renovation taking place in recent years. Young families and artists in particular have taken a huge interest in East, giving the area an eclectic and upbeat vibe. Popular districts and neighborhoods in East Nashville include: 5-Points, Historic Edgefield, Eastwood Neighbors, East End, and Lockeland Springs.
Many of the homes in the area have Dutch and European architectural influences. Nestled in each East Nashville neighborhood you will find Bungalows, Victorians, Tudors, Ranches, and Craftsman.

East Nashville is not only known for its quirky nature. It is a community of hardworking people who have so much tenacity and a strong tendency to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. East Nashville has survived a massive fire (1916) and vicious tornadoes have tried to take this incredible area down more than once. Instead, the area has come back stronger time and time again. Urban renewal and modern style have made their mark amid this historic backdrop. For this, Nashville as a whole is grateful.
