An agricultural hub in the heart of Tennessee
Known as the "Nursery Capital of the World," McMinnville sits at the heart of Tennessee between Nashville and Chattanooga. Home to 14,000 people, this agricultural hub offers natural beauty and a small-town feel. “It’s quaint and welcoming,” says Dorinda Walker, affiliate broker with Paul Holder Realty & Auction. “People are drawn to the terrain and scenery. You have mountains, flatlands, natural waterfalls and lots of beautiful rivers and lakes. There are a lot of tourist attractions that aren’t super heavily commercialized.” A small commercial hub in the center of the city features historic buildings occupied by independent shops and restaurants.
Common industries include manufacturing and agriculture, with plant nurseries leading the way.
Homes on midsized lots can be found all over McMinnville.

Ranch-style homes sprawl on quarter acre lots
The median home price is $263,000, well under the national median. Ranch-style homes and New Traditional homes are most common, often on lots from a quarter-acre to 2 acres. “We have a lot of farms,” says Walker. “And housing is definitely growing, but we’re still growing on a scale that’s a half-acre lot or larger. So not like what you’d see in a typical metropolitan area.”
Downtown, the Historical Preservation Committee dictates guidelines for renovation. “The local people are on board with that because we are revitalizing, but the historic committee preserves the original historic value in a lot of the buildings,” says Walker. She describes the importance of maintaining downtown, not only for the historical value, but also because many buildings and structures function as geographic waypoints. “We’re small-town — people use the landmarks for directions. When people give directions downtown, they’ll say it's either 'before the fountain' or 'after the fountain.' ”

Most restaurants are independently and locally owned, with few chains and fast food places to be found.
