A sundry mix of entrepreneurs, empty nesters, longtime residents and B&Bs create the dynamic neighborhood feel.

East Nashville has also experienced growth in condo and loft developments, with a plethora of options in all styles. The central commercial district in East Nashville is known as Five Points. A mix of eclectic restaurants, bars, local music venues, markets and boutiques bring out the locals, who you’ll see strolling the area any day of the week.
