How safe is the Nashville area? (Murfreesboro, Franklin: low income, renting, homes)

Antioch is better than most of North Nashville and parts of East Nashville... but at least East Nashville is improving. Antioch is headed the other direction.

Unfortuantly I would agree. It's a shame too because Antioch could be a really neat area too.

I don't see "great numbers" of people coming to any kind of consensus here. Those who post here from Inglewood, Madison, and East Nashville have repeatedly made the point that they feel safe in their particular neighborhoods.

Some of those who who live elsewhere do not.

My point stands: There's not enough data to make comparisons about neighborhoods inside and outside the county.

Look, i'm not trying to change your opinion cause that isn't going to happen. I'm just trying to open your eyes to some exciting things taking place in the inner city of Nashville. It's not all Channel 4 and 5 make it out to be. To be honest, it's the opposite in most cases.

I am not saying EN as a whole because I am not ignorant. I have lived there before. I have had family shot to death there just because they tuck their shirts in and don't talk like they are in a rap video. I have seen prostitutes and drug dealers in action in the area. I saw it last time I went on Dickerson Pike. That was about 3 months ago. I know there are good parts to EN. I mainly talk about the bad parts suck as Cleveland Park. Plus all of the apartments are bad. But, I am not saying anything as a whole because there are always good areas.

That's the 5th & Main Condominums. Smack dab in the middle of Main Street. Many of the streets off Main are really, REALLY nice! With large homes and large yards and a TON of history behind them. But most suburbanites are afraid to get off the interstate and actually experience the city I suppose. Or maybe afraid to admit that things, good things, are finally starting to happen IN THE CITY instead of out in the 'burbs.

A beautiful picture! Thank you for this!

My condolences for your loss. I can see where you are coming from, but I can also see where it can influence your feelings about the area in general. I agree, there are still places in East Nashville where you are not safe in, but the city has really tried to make East Nashville a point of intrest for redevelopment. Unfortunatly, moving "trash" out of East Nashville has cause Antioch and LaVergne to bear the brunt of the mass exodus of "trash". Now those areas are places I wouldn't live in. Way too much drugs and guns for me.

Northe Nashville, well it depends on where you are. Germatown and other places are really freakin' cool! While some others are just, well.......weird.

Nothing wrong with Antioch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! Go to Cayce Homes if you want to feel unsafe!!!!

Besides, Antioch is what it is. You can not remodel old brick houses. That is one reason EN is improving. The houses are stucco, therefore, you can make them look more attractive.

You're welcome. And the housing next to them is well maintained. It's not like JC Napier next to them.
