What's so "hip" about Antioch? (Murfreesboro, Forest Hills: low income, crime rate)

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.

It wasn't Priest Lake before there was a lake. That's why I said perceptions have been altered over time. Same as you say about East Nashville west of I-24.

Well speaking of todays time, or post Priest Lake building days, 1960's- current, the 37217 is considered the Priest Lake/Antioch community to the east of Bell Rd. and Una to the west of Bell Rd. 37214 zip is Donelson starting just north of Couchville Pk. on up to I-40. The water of the lake broke communities up, which were rather rual anyways, but roads like Couchville Pk. dead in at the waters edge, another part of it picks up for about a quarter of a mile at the top of the pennisula in the Priest Lake Community with one really nice house on it, and the rest is parking area for the Anderson Rd. fitness trail, then there is another part of Couchville Pk on the Long Hunter State Park side of the lake in Hermitage that continues well on past I-840 in Wilson County. Couchville Pk. must have split off somewhere where the lake is now or something because the is a Lavergne-Couchville Pk near Four Corners Marina in far southeastern Antioch near the Rutherford County Line. I would like to see a map close up of all the streets and their paths prior to the building of the lake. But it is the building of the lake and growth of the population growth of the southside of the lake that allowed the 37217 zip to add on its own identification as the Priest Lake community.

But long story short, if Antioch were an actual city of its own with the 37013 zip, its metro area would consist of 37217 to the north/northeast consisting of the Priest Lake and Una communities and 37211 to the south/west/and northwest consisting of the Tusculum community and the new Lennox Village community to the southwest. Thats pretty much how we view the southeast corner of Davidson County which has council districts 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33, the council reps have all worked together to create the area we have now. The school board rep areas pretty much cover the same areas, and the Cane Ridge and Antioch school zones cover all the mentioned areas as well, except for Lennox Village which is zoned for Overton, however everything else behind it and down the the city of Nolensville is Cane Ridge zone.

Metro areas aren't based on zips. Antioch would just be another suburb.

You know what I'm talking about... I'm saying as if Antioch were it's own city in a random state, the communities mentioned, (if they were their own city) would be part of Antioch's metro... I know how it works in real life, I'm just saying...

Do you consider Lenox Village part of Antioch? I have never heard anyone say that before this thread nor do I know anyone who considers it part of Antioch.

It's funny, in the past Antioch posters have been quick to claim 37211 was not a part of Antioch (and I agree with that). But in this thread, there seems to be some cherry picking from the surrounding zips to create the Antioch borders.

I don't consider anything on Nolensville Rd. to be Antioch. Just to the east in some areas, yes. But Nolensville Rd. itself is its own unique corridor.

And zip codes themselves aren't always the greatest way to determine borders. A lot of them were drawn up before areas developed.

The problem with that is that Antioch does not function in the way a principal city of a metro functions. More people commute from Antioch than to it.

I am going on actual government address, there are places south of Lennox Village that have 37013 Antioch addresses, and as soon as you turn off Nolensville rd. on Burkett or Preston Rd. you see the welcome to Cane Ridge sign, which is Antioch.

Why do you fail to understand??? I am saying this as if, make believe city, not that I'm saying it is so. I think you understand but just don't want to give Antioch the credit that it's worth. If you want to think I'm talking as if it's real, yes Antioch does have commuters leaving, however there are several commuting to Antioch as well, and those numbers will pick up as well. We have enough schools out here alone for educators to commute to.

A miniscule portion is 37013. Lenox Village itself is 37211, and the commercial development to the south of that (near Concord) is actually 37027. Those areas have never been considered Antioch.

I understand completely what you are trying to say. I'm saying that even playing hypothetically doesn't work there. I'm not dogging Antioch. I say the same thing to friends of mine that think East Nashville is like its own city.
