Victorian and craftsman homes on deep lots, a bar and restaurant scene at Five Points, and the Shelby Bottoms greenway on the river. The most character per dollar in the city, and buyers know it.

Best for: Creative types, first move-up buyers, anyone who wants to know their neighbors

Ranches and Tudor cottages on a third of an acre, a short drive from East Nashville. Gallatin Pike has filled up with good restaurants, and prices still leave room for a renovation budget.

  • Value

Best for: First-time buyers, gardeners, people with dogs (or plans for one)

Cottages and new builds a block or two from the 12th Avenue shops, coffee and Sevier Park. The priciest of my six neighborhoods, and the one people fall for on a Saturday morning.

Best for: Move-up buyers and anyone who wants to walk everywhere
