New Providence is an evolving neighborhood outside of downtown Clarksville

Located across the Red River from downtown Clarksville, New Providence is a neighborhood that has seen plenty of changes. It was one of the earliest settled parts of Clarksville and is home to the oldest standing structure in Montgomery County, built in 1792. Residential development took off in the 1940s and ‘50s, and now those homes are starting to be reimagined. "It's up-and-coming and definitely improving," says Mary Smith-Cody, a Realtor with Benchmark Realty with 20 years of experience. "There are a lot of starter homes or investment properties, but a lot of new development also.” The variety of homes combined with convenience to downtown and Fort Campbell draw a mix of buyers to 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.
