Relo question - what constitutes "East Nashville"? (to rent, condo)

[miahowl]

Hiya! There is a strong chance that we may be relocating to Nashville soon (and are very excited about it!). We are coming from Ft Lauderdale in a very central location. We are both close to 40, no kids, a little quirky, and very liberal. We also would like to be somewhere close (talking 5 min. or less by car) to dining & entertainment, even if it is a "pocket" area (I've heard about Five Points but not sure where this is....?). It seems our best fit is East Nashville but we are unsure of exactly where this begins and ends. We are looking to rent, not buy.

Thanks for your help, locals!

Hi, I live in East Nashville so I hope I can help you with this. Once you cross the river (Cumberland) going East past the Titans Stadium, you are in east Nashville. Head down Shelby, Woodland, or Main and you are officially in East Nashville. 5 points that you speak of is in the heart of the historic districts (there are three) on the corner of 10th and Woodland st. There are a number of restaurants and bars there, a bike shop, great wine store, coffee shop, etc. In and around there are the Historic districts (Edgefield, Lockeland Springs, Historic East End) with a mix of 100+ year old homes, new historic replica and a number of condo projects. East Nashville is bordered on the south side by the Cumberland River. The north side is subject to opinion but I would say it is the area south of Ellington Parkway. This creates a pie shaped wedge that extends basically through a neighborhood called Inglewood until you hit Briley Parkway (when you reach Madison). There are some other little pocket neighborhoods in there as well but that pretty much covers it.
