Downtown Nashville

Welcome to Downtown, Nashville

Live to the beat of your own drum in the heart of “Music City” 

 

Downtown Nashville is one of 20 neighborhoods, each with its own unique character, that makes up the city of Nashville. Once primarily the city’s business district, downtown is a vibrant, historic, and diverse mix of residential and commercial neighborhoods. It is the beating heart of “Music City.” This two-mile area is situated between the Cumberland River, the interstates, and Jefferson Street and is connected to the greater Nashville area via a variety of transportation options including trains, buses, and even boats. 


The real estate in Downtown Nashville is booming and varied, ranging from luxury condominiums to single-family homes representing a mix of old and new architecture. The geography is equally unique, offering both hilly streets and riverfront views dotted with 15 beautifully lit bridges. With a population of over 80,000 residents, Downtown forms a neighborhood where people from all walks of life can live, work, and recreate together.

Local Lifestyle

Downtown Nashville offers a way of life attracting those seeking excitement, variety, and the ability to live and work in an urban environment. The array of businesses and organizations here such as small cafes, high-end restaurants, galleries, museums, music venues, banks, and big technology, form a mixed economy that cultivates an incredibly rich, dynamic, and hip culture to live in. 

 

 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Downtown Nashville is known for its fantastic music scene showcasing renowned country music stars one night and the next-big-thing the following night in venues that range from sleek clubs to the honky tonks along lower Broadway. Perhaps the crowning jewel, however, is the food scene. Downtown features endless innovative options from trendy food trucks to high-end restaurants.

 

Church and Union serve playful new American cuisine sourced from local ingredients. The eye-catching Stationery provides an artfully designed menu in an interior that honors the historic architecture of Union Station. 


The shopping experience in Downtown ranges from chic flagship boutiques to quaint local shops. Both can be found along Broadway, the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare, as well as in its small corridors and alleyways. 


Perhaps one of the most important shopping requirements for comfortable living in any city, however, is access to a fresh grocery store. Luckily for Nashville’s downtown neighbors, there is a Whole Foods Market steps away on Broadway.
