Commercial activity thrives in Clarksville
Stretching from downtown Clarksville to MLK Jr. Parkway, Madison Street is a long, narrow neighborhood that takes drivers on a trip through the decades. The community’s western section is full of century-old homes, and as the road heads east, houses and buildings become increasingly modern. Over the years, the area has seen lots of development, resulting in a blend of housing and retail properties. “I love Madison Street. It’s beautiful. Even though it’s a main street, it’s not crazy busy,” says Jodi Griffey, a Realtor with BLK Dog Realty with 25 years of experience. “Some parts are commercial, and some are residential. It’s really convenient to downtown, and there’s a lot going on there.” Despite being one of the busiest avenues in the city and home to many chain stores and restaurants, parts of Madison Street feel peaceful, with tall trees towering on each side of the road. Smaller roads branch off the main strip, offering even quieter locations to call home while still having the convenience of a major retail community.
Madison Street homeowners have a short drive to Downtown Clarksville.
Parlor Doughnuts is a local hangout serving fresh doughnuts and coffee in Clarksville.

Houses range from historic to modern along Madison Street
Madison Street’s long history offers a broad mix of housing styles. “A lot of the homes are older because downtown was built in the late 1800s. Some people have them on the historic register,” Griffey says. “When you get out of downtown, most of those homes were built in the 1940s or '50s, and they have beautiful little streets.” The older styles include bungalows, Craftsman houses, Tudor Revivals and ornate Victorians. These are often on spacious lots covered in lush trees. As the road heads east, buyers can find cottages and ranch-style homes. At the far end of the neighborhood, 21st-century New Traditional houses make up the inventory. Lots tend to get smaller on the community’s east side, but the greenery remains, contributing to the tranquil feel of the area. Fixer-uppers typically cost between $50,000 and $190,000. Renovated and well-kept homes can cost $200,000 to $535,000.
Newer traditional style of homes are located on the Eastern side of Madison Street's boundaries.
Some Tudor style homes are scattered throughout Madison Street's historic district.

There are also several locally owned Chinese and Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood. Fast-food chains include everything from Whataburger to Hardee’s. Groceries are available at Kroger, Publix and Food Lion. Big-box stores like Walmart and Lowe's are scattered around the area.
