Avalon
Neighborhood in Clarksville, Tennessee
Montgomery County 37040
Cozy ranch-style and Traditional houses
Houses with ranch-style and Traditional features line the streets of Avalon. Sycamores and maples overlook many houses and shade neatly-trimmed front yards. Small groups of children and teens often hangout on the narrow and winding walking paths alongside the neighborhood’s roads. Many houses here date back to the 1990s and early 2000s and measure under 2,000 square feet, factors that make this neighborhood more affordable than several others across the city. “In affordability, that area of town is going to be slightly better priced than exit 11 or Sango,” Nash says in reference to the fast-growing and more upscale neighborhoods on the southern end of Clarksville. Houses here can go from just under $200,000 to $315,000. The most recent average sale price in Avalon is $273,050, which is less than the citywide $333,215.
Fun at Billy Dunlop Park and Sky Zone Trampoline Park
Located a few miles west of the neighborhood, Billy Dunlop Park is a popular recreational spot for many on this side of Nashville. The park’s playground and swing set offers a fun place for children. The Red River bends around the park, and its banks buzz with excitement during the summers as teens use a rope to swing and jump into the water. Visitors can also go on strolls through the park and use a tall pedestrian bridge to cross the Red River and enjoy overlooking views of the surrounding woodland. Trenton Road also goes directly to the Sky Zone Trampoline Park about 4 miles south of Avalon.
State Purple Star winner in Northeast Elementary School
Children in Avalon attend Northeast Elementary School, which receives a B grade from ratings site Niche. Northeast Elementary was recently awarded the Tennessee Purple Star School Award. The honor recognizes schools that have made exceptional efforts to serve military families. More than a quarter of the student body in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School system have ties to the military. Students in Avalon can then attend Northeast Middle School and Northeast High School, which receive B-minus and C-plus grades respectively from Niche. Northeast High offers a specialized Computer Information Technology Academy, which aims to prepare its enrollees for careers in careers like engineering and programming.
Horse racing at Oak Grove casino and Clarksville Speedway’s county fair
Due to its location right along the state line, Avalon is as close to institutions in Kentucky as it is to downtown Clarksville. The neighborhood sits 11 miles east of the Oak Grove Racing, Gaming & Hotel in Oak Grove. Between the spring and summer, patrons can watch and bet on horse racing. The venue’s Moonshine Amphitheater also hosts live music throughout the year, with performers including country and R&B artists. Avalon also sits about 5 miles north of the Clarksville Speedway & Fairgrounds. The venue hosts the annual Montgomery County Fair in late July and early August, which features carnival rides and racing events.
I-24 and Tiny Town Road commutes to Fort Campbell
Avalon sits just north of Interstate 24, which connects Clarksville to Nashville. The interstate also provides one of the ways to reach Fort Campbell, which is about 14 miles from Avalon. Many also travel on Tiny Town Road south of the I-24 to reach the military base. For flights out of the state, residents go to the Nashville International Airport about 56 miles south of the neighborhood. Tennova Healthcare - Clarksville, about 6 miles south of Avalon, provides a major medical facility for the neighborhood.
Diverse cuisines and Clarksville institutions
Avalon sits right off Trenton Road, which goes directly toward a shopping center a short distance south of Avalon. Several restaurants serving diverse cuisine exist here. They include Kisoro Sushi & Steak and neighbor Sam’s Greek Cafe. In addition to its sushi and sashimi rolls, udon Kisoro is popular for its udon bowls. Sam’s offers a variety of Mediterranean options, including gyros and plates of dolma wraps. El Bracero, a small chain with most of its locations in Kentucky, serves fare ranging from authentic soft-shell tacos to a burger with pineapples as one of the toppings. The nearby Smokin Chikin is a Clarksville institution known for its gourmet rotisserie chicken, while O’Connor’s Pub provides a night time hangout. The Regal Clarksville provides another nearby place for those looking to catch the latest blockbuster movies, while grocery shopping can be done at Sam’s Club a few miles south of Avalon.
