Charlotte Park
A mix of mid-20th century and contemporary character
When Ford opened its plant — which now belongs to Japanese auto glass maker Carlex — the employees filled cottages built at the time. Houses with Craftsman, bungalow and Cape Cod traits are common, especially in the Croleywood area. Some exhibit distinct stone exteriors and come with narrow driveways leading to car ports or detached garages. Traditional ranch-style houses with spacious lots are also common in other parts of Charlotte Park, with some tucked in cul-de-sacs shaded by mature trees. The 20th century housing still holds a slight majority in the neighborhood, but more new Traditional and contemporary style houses have been added. The new builds include “tall and skinnies,” narrow homes built in pairs on lots previously occupied by a single house. Several of the new houses also show unique touches like half-timbered framing and half-hipped and skillion roofs. Price points for the older cottages can run from under $400,000 to $600,000, depending on size. For the modern contemporaries and Traditionals, price points can go from about $545,000 to $800,000. With size again and age playing a role, there are also townhouses that run between $250,000 and $650,000.

Dining on the water at Blue Moon and curling at Tee Line bar
Sitting on a dock in the Rock Harbor Marina, the Blue Moon Waterfront Grille is a staple where dinner is enjoyed with pleasant views of the Cumberland River. Nights at the restaurant can start with a glass of wine and later involve a plate of the signature fried catfish basket. Benji’s Bagel & Coffee House is an authentic New York style bagel shop and deli. Just across the street is the unique Tee Line Nashville, a bar with a little more than pizza and beers on tap. Patrons can get on one of three sheets of ice to try out curling. The bar also provides lanes for avid bowlers, and an outdoor patio to gather around a fire pit or play a few rounds of cornhole. “It’s a pretty cool spot,” Bird says. “I would call it a sports bar that also has that unique element to it.” On Saturday mornings, those on the hunt for fresh produce, grass-fed beef or farm fresh eggs can take a short drive down Charlotte Avenue to the Richland Park Farmer’s Market. Publix and ALDI offer some grocery shopping options.

Boating on the Cumberland River
A membership with the Nautical Boat Club - West Nashville provides access to a fleet at the Rock Harbor Marina and scenic trips along the Cumberland River. Rock Harbor is also the city’s sole 24-hour marina. Future plans for a transformation of the marina, with additions to include a mix of more dining and housing on the water. Charlotte Park, the green space on Deal Avenue, provides a local spot for sports and outdoor activities. Children enjoy the playground, while the park provides space for softball games. Events featuring ponies have also taken place at the park. The neighborhood is close to The Nations’ West Park to the east, which has attractions like a wet weather storage tank painted in a nature theme.

Academies of Nashville at James Lawson and Pearl-Cohn high schools
Younger children here can attend Charlotte Park and Cockrill elementary schools, which both received C grades from ratings site Niche. Charlotte Park Elementary celebrates the diverse community it serves with its annual Multicultural Night. The evening festivity features a variety of international cuisines and cultural shows. Teens can then attend Moses McKissack and H.G. Hill middle schools, which respectively received grades of C-minus and C-plus from Niche. To finish their secondary education, they can attend Pearl-Cohn High School and the new James Lawson High School. Pearl-Cohn received a C-minus from Niche, while James Lawson has yet to be rated. A replacement for the old Hillwood High School, James Lawson’s students enjoy a 300,000-square-foot facility complete with state-of-the-art classrooms. Both schools are part of the touted Academies of Nashville, a district-wide college and career prep model that allows its participants to take specialized courses in a wide variety of fields.

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.
