New Providence
Neighborhood homes range from midcentury to 2020s
Most residences in New Providence are small midcentury cottages or ranch-style houses. The neighborhood also has a handful of manufactured homes. Since 2020, developers have been tearing down older properties and replacing them with new builds that are often narrow two-story structures with vinyl siding. Lot sizes tend to be small, but some have spacious yards. Leafy trees line the streets, adding pops of bright green and plenty of shade during the spring and summer. Despite being across the river from downtown, the area has a suburban to semi-rural feel. Some streets feature large trees and bushes separating the homes, making it hard to see neighbors. Established houses typically cost between $100,000 and $288,000. Newer homes can range from $230,000 to $355,000.Highways and bus routes make commuting a breeze
New Providence is a well-connected neighborhood with lots of ways to get around. Providence Boulevard is the community's main thoroughfare, leading about 2 miles southeast to downtown or 8 miles northwest to Fort Campbell. Four routes of the Clarksville Transit System pass through the area, offering public transportation to downtown and other nearby neighborhoods. Bus stops are conveniently located on Providence Boulevard and several of the area's smaller streets.Clarksville schools are conveniently located near New Providence
Students in New Providence might attend Byrns Darden Elementary School, which is in the neighborhood and gets a B from Niche. Kenwood Middle School and Kenwood High School are each rated B-minus. These schools are about 3 miles away and accessible on Route 4 of the Clarksville Transit System. The high school offers the Engineering and Design Academy, which provides students with hands-on STEM education, preparing them for college or careers in these fields.A short drive to Clarksville's shopping and dining
New Providence has lots of shopping and dining in and around the community. Grocery stores like Price Less IGA and Kroger are on the neighborhood's west side. This shopping area has a mix of locally owned and chain restaurants that offer Mexican, Vietnamese, and fast-food options. The community is also close to lively downtown Clarksville. "There are multiple new restaurants in the downtown Clarksville area. I would recommend Shelby's Trio," Smith-Cody says. As the name suggests, this three-story building houses three separate eateries, offering classic pub food, upscale Italian cuisine and a rooftop bar. U.S. Route 79 leads about 7 miles northeast to popular shopping destinations like Governor's Square Mall, home to Dillard's, Belk and Ross. This part of town also has stores like Target and Walmart.Local parks provide lots of room for recreation
Several parks in the area offer activities. New Providence Recreation Area is a riverfront green space with a small playground, picnic shelter and a boat ramp. The park's location makes it suitable for fishing on the riverbank. Lettie Kendall Park is another community spot with a playground, short walking paths and picnic areas. Locals can visit historic sites in the neighborhood like Fort Defiance Civil War Park and Sevier Station, the oldest building in the county. McGregor Park is about a mile from the neighborhood and has waterfront trails, a playground, and a museum that details the river's history in Clarksville. It also hosts the annual Christmas on the Cumberland, a free walk-through light show each holiday season.Education and awareness to prevent crime
The community has a CAP Index Crime Score of 6 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4, but some property crimes receive a score as high as 9 out of 10. The Clarksville Police Department has a Community Relations Unit that works to develop relationships with citizens and prevent crime through education and awareness programs.
