Nashville, the capital of Tennessee, is known as the hometown of country music, and the birthplace of bluegrass. “Music City” was founded in 1779 on the Cumberland River. Today, it lies across a hilly 525.9 square miles, and has a median age of 34.2 (2022). Music production, healthcare, insurance, finance, and publishing are the main drivers of its economy.

Homebuyers in Nashville will find homes in Ranch, Tudor, Shotgun, and American Foursquare styles. The typical home value is $455,157, up 22.2% over the past year (Zillow, 2022). The city hosts various annual events, including the Nashville Boat Show, Nashville Fashion Week, and the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, for residents and visitors alike to enjoy.

Nashville lies at the crossroads of the east-west I-40, the northwest-southeast I-24, and the north-south I-65. Germantown, one of Nashville’s oldest areas, is accessible via I-65. It contains duplexes, townhouses, and small homes. Belmont Blvd, situated next to Belmont University, appeals to families because it features everything from luxurious homes to quaint houses, as well as bike lanes and long sidewalks. Sylvan Park, just south of I-40, is another terrific area for families, where neighbors make the effort to know one another.

Nashville is a vibrant city with a youthful vibe, yet a mishmash of people call the city home. There’s easy access to great food, music, and attractions, such as the Grand Ole Opry House, and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
