Clarksville neighborhood with views of Kentucky

When some Avalon homeowners look out from their backyards, they don’t just see rolling pastures with patches of trees and grazing cattle. They see Kentucky. Avalon is tucked in a far northern pocket of Clarksville that sits on the edge of the Tennessee and Kentucky line. “It’s a little more hidden back and super quiet,” says Marcia Campbell, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker, who sold a few homes in Avalon in 2023. “It’s quiet because it’s off the main thoroughfares of 101st and Tiny Town.” The houses here are typically smaller than the ones found in other subdivisions across Clarksville. “If you’re young, unmarried or just married, it’s kind of a starter home community,” Campbell says. Being on the state line makes it one of the city neighborhoods closest to Fort Campbell, which provides Clarksville with many of its residents. Avalon also lies north of several dining and entertainment spots. “I love it. Movie theater, grocery store, everything is right there. It’s a very convenient location,” says Steve Nash, a broker with Keller Williams Realty, who’s made just under 10 sales in Avalon. “You want music lessons, you want to get an IV, you want fast food, Mexican restaurants or the Hibachi stuff, everything is right there.”

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.

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.

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.
