Nashville bedroom community with access to ‘anything and everything’
The busy intersection of Mt. Juliet Road and Division Street captures the character of this suburb just east of Nashville. A stone monument sign with a short clock tower lets drivers know they’re passing through the heart of Mt. Juliet. The fixture stands in front of a new luxury apartment complex that puts its tenants within a short walk of one of the few commuter rail stations in the Nashville metro. Eddie Rockensock, a Mt. Juliet native and broker with Benchmark Realty, reflects on the city’s changing landscape over the years. “It was really small back then. I used to ride my bike to the ballfield,” he says before adding that some quiet roads have since become multi-lane thoroughfares.
One of Tennessee’s fastest-growing cities, Mt. Juliet includes communities of new homes, a signature mall and quick access to recreation. Mt. Juliet has also been called the “City Between the Lakes” due to its location between the outdoor havens of Percy Priest Lake and Old Hickory Lake. “It’s a good little spot to be in because you have good access to anything and everything,” says Josh Massie, the marketing director for the Stormberg Group.
Mt. Juliet is known for its four R's: Retail, Roads, Rivers and Rail.

New homes with desirable amenities
Mt. Juliet has many 20th-century ranch-style homes on spacious lots that can go just over 1 acre. The city also has subdivisions of contemporary Traditional homes built between the 1990s and today, in communities like Willoughby Station and the neighborhood near the Providence Marketplace. The latter neighborhood is among a few in town that provide access to amenities like walking trails and private community pools.
Most Mt. Juliet homes have footprints between 1,500 and 3,000 square feet, usually selling from $400,000 to $750,000. Townhouses, most of which are no older than a couple of decades, mainly cost between $300,000 and $400,000. Although it has a slightly higher median list price than Nashville, Mt. Juliet does have a more affordable market than several suburbs, particularly the ones in affluent Williamson County. Mt. Juliet’s median list price of approximately $596,000 falls about $1 million below Brentwood’s.

The Providence Marketplace corridor
The Providence Marketplace is the city’s most prominent shopping site. In addition to being one of the region’s largest malls, the Providence area sparked much of the city’s growth with its numerous shops, restaurants and department stores. Chains like Publix and Target surround the mall, and eateries include Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint, launched in the Nashville suburb of Nolensville and now with locations in four states.
Other town staples include Calabria Brick Oven Pizza. Regulars can pair a fresh tomato and mozzarella salad with one of many wines before moving on to an artisan pizza. On the city’s business scene, Rockensock says: “Before Providence was there, it was all farmland where they used to ride dirt bikes. One thing I believe our commissioners are doing well is bringing in a lot of businesses here. There’s a lot of money moving in.”

A myriad of activities at Percy Priest and Old Hickory lakes
Mt. Juliet has half a dozen parks, a multisport complex and a recreation center with amenities like a basketball court. The recreation center — formally the Mount Juliet Community Center — sits within Charlie Daniels Park, a popular meetup spot with a playground and a splash pad often bustling with activity during the summer. The park is home to the N.C. Hibbett Train & History Museum, which attracts train buffs and showcases numerous miniature railcar models. The South Mount Juliet Bark Park draws many dog owners.
The city also sits within minutes of Percy Priest Lake and Old Hickory Lake — part of the region’s Cumberland River. Both lakes provide boating, kayaking and fishing opportunities, while Percy Priest Lake also has several sites on the lakeshore for other activities. These sites include the 2,600-acre Long Hunter State Park, which offers spots for hiking, primitive camping and wildlife spotting.
In Mt. Juliet, there's easy access to multiple marinas at the lake.

A community gathering destination at Charlie Daniels Park
The city frequently gathers at Charlie Daniels Park for summer movie nights, concerts and holiday fairs. The park hosts the Mt. Juliet Farmer’s Market, which runs on Saturdays between May and October. The park and its community center also host the annual Home for the Holidays, a November bazaar-style event featuring vendors and opportunities to take photos with Santa. In 2022, the city — officially incorporated in 1972 — celebrated its 50th anniversary at Charlie Daniels Park. The gala drew about 10,000 people, and the massive turnout encouraged the city to repeat the celebration in 2023. Speaking on the park, Massie says, “It’s also where you go and vote. It’s super accessible, right in the middle of town, and it’s in a perfect distance between everything.”
