Eight
A mix of rural and suburban homes are available
Eight has properties with varied lot sizes. East of Route 111, houses are spread out with room for farms or livestock, while west of Route 111, houses are closer together, often in subdivisions that were built in the early 2000s to 2010s. Rural houses are mostly ranch-style, and suburban houses are often Craftsman-inspired bungalows, brick Cape Cods or newly constructed farmhouses. Houses range in price from $300,000 to $650,000, with newer houses at the high end of the range.

Local ramen restaurant joins fast casual chains for dining options
A mural with the tagline, “Let’s rame ’n’ roll, Cookeville,” welcomes guests into Toki Poke & Ramen. This local restaurant serves authentic Japanese dishes like bao buns and gyoza dumplings, along with signature ramen and poke bowls. “Our southern side of town has more the chain restaurants,” says Morris of the area that forms the northern sections of Eight. “We call it Restaurant Row around here.” Fast casual restaurants KFC, Waffle House, Subway and Sbarro are nearby, as is Sam’s Club, the neighborhood grocer.Aside from restaurants and grocers, there are job opportunities at several offices and warehouses in the neighborhood, including a Budweiser distribution facility and several autobody shops on South Jefferson Avenue. Farther south are state and local government facilities including the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Cookeville Wastewater Treatment and the Putnam County Solid Waste Division. Trucking lines also operate bases along Route 111.

Parks and gyms are just outside the neighborhood
While Eight has no parks within its boundaries, City Lake Natural Area is 5 miles east. This public land is known for its 35-acre lake, which is stocked with catfish, bass and bream for fishing. A short walking trail leads to a waterfall in the surrounding forest. North of Eight on Neal Street is a Planet Fitness gym, which offers year-round indoor fitness facilities.

Putnam County Public Schools offer nearby education
Students are zoned in the Putnam County Public School District. Students may attend Prescott South Elementary School, Prescott South Middle School and Cookeville High School. Each school receives a B plus grade from Niche. Putnam County middle schools offer high school courses with End of Course (EOC) assessments to eighth graders. This option awards students state graduation credit upon course completion and frees time for additional courses when they reach high school.Quick drives lead residents downtown
Eight is around 5 miles from downtown Cookeville. Driving between the two takes 10 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic. Cookeville is around 81 miles east of Nashville and 100 miles west of Knoxville. Cookville Regional Medical Center is in the northwestern portion of town, not far from Tennessee Tech University. Nashville's airport is the closest with commercial service.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
