What's so "hip" about Antioch? (Murfreesboro, Nolensville: credit, schools)

No, it's not Antioch according to people I know that live there.

It's already been explained by those of us who live here and have lived here for a long time. Thanks for the info.

They have been homeowners for years. I respect their opinions.

Only the southeastern portion of 37217 is Antioch. Most of Bell Rd north of Smith Springs, as well as the entire airport area is part of Donelson, though the addition of the lake and I-40 have altered a lot of people's views of that. The Glengarry and Glencliff areas are definitely not part of Antioch.

Also, before the lake, the east side of Stones River was not considered to be Hermitage.

Dam this is confusing. I always just thought the 37013 zip was Antioch. What an enigma when an area doesn't have defined borders. Neighborhoods are supposed to be borders by major streets. Antioch seems like a giant blob lol.

The area all the way up to the 37214 zip code is considered the Priest Lake area just north of Halmiton Creek recreation there is a sign that says Welcome to the Priest Lake Community. It is the start of 37217 as well as council district 29 which serves parts of Antioch, not Donelson. The area north of Smith Springs and west of Bell up to the south side of the Airport and Murfreesboro Rd up to Donelson Pk is the UNA area. It is on maps as UNA and there is a sign that says Welcome to the Historic UNA community, there is also a state historic sign on Old Murfreesboro Rd. that gives the history of the Una community. It is also part of council district 29. Both of those areas are part of the Antioch School cluster. They attend Antioch area community meetings, etc. Neither is Donelson.

You are correct, only 37013 is Antioch, however 37217 is a Nashville zip but due to proximity to Antioch and comonalities, they are often times refered to together as the Priest Lake/Antioch area... Same thing on the far west side of 37013, parts of 37211 are associated with Antioch due to same reasons as the east side. You may hear that side refered to as the Tusculum area that follows Tusculum rd to Nolensville rd.

I live off Tusculum. I naturally associate my whole neighborhood as Antioch but the truth is a fair bit of it is Nashville. Funny thing is, I live in West Antioch. The farther East you travel the nicer it gets. However, people assume that since its "Nashville" it doesn't get the same bad reputation as the Hickory Hollow Area, which is farther East and newer/nicer than West Antioch.

BayAreaDave, 37217 covers all of Nashboro, and parts of Anderson Road and area's intertwined throughout the lake. The post office which is in Antioch off Murfreesboro Road is the Glenview Post Office. What happened with 37217 per the post master was when the routes were being developed they were done for mail processing and transportation networks so 37013 is intertwined into different zip codes in the Donelson and J. Percy Priest area. In speaking with the postmaster this cannot be changed due to Union agreements. What is supposed to make logical sense to many of us, will not make sense when you start to peel back all of the information with regard to postal zip 37013.
So technically parts of Donelson is in Antioch and parts of J. Percy Priest Lake is in Antioch and parts of 37217 is in Antioch and you are correct, Antioch encompasses areas into Tusculum and District 30 which stretches in parts of Nolensville Road, Tusculum, Haywood Lane areas. One side of the street can be Donelson, J. Percy Priest, 37217 and the other side of the street 37013 and it zig zags throughout many of the area's mentioned.

Just as you say one area has a bad reputation versus another is up for debate. When I speak to people who are around your area it is referred to negatively due to all of the various businesses that line nolensville road. People in Southeast Nashville and other areas have a reference to your area that is not so positive just like you have certain thoughts of another side of SE Nashville which includes Hickory Hollow/Antioch/Cane Ridge.

What I would suggest is that you continue to promote your area as a positive beautiful area and allow others to do so for their area. Everyone interprets these area's differently.

SE Nashville like I said earlier has beautiful amenities, so much so that we have people who come from the Radnor Lake area to do paddleboarding and they have shared J. Percy Priest Lake which is in Nashville and Antioch and Donelson is much more scenic and is more preferable by many to frequent.
