South Nashville neighborhood with appealing traditional feel
Some say Crieve Hall is a community straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. “It’s got that Americana feel. It’s the kind of place that long-term Nashvillians settle,” says Susan Thetford, a Realtor with eXp Realty, who’s made sales in this part of south Nashville. This neighborhood appeals to both long-time residents and newcomers alike with its enduring mid-century traits. Crieve Hall is one of the few Nashville neighborhoods without “tall and skinny" houses cramping their streets. “A lot of the houses here were built in the late 1950s to late 1960s, so you’ll see yards that are a half-acre to an acre with many, many trees. That’s the biggest value of Crieve Hall. You don’t feel like you’re in a subdivision with houses on top of each other,” says Bobby Hite, a broker with the Bobby Hite Co., who’s made 25 sales in the neighborhood. The mature tree canopy here adds to this community's charm, and it’s not uncommon to see more than 20 trees on a single lot. “It’s an old 1950s neighborhood of mostly ranch houses, without a lot of new builds going in there yet. But it’s found a second life with young home buyers starting families,” says Steve Miller, a Realtor with Benchmark Realty, who’s made 16 sales in Crieve Hall as part of a team he leads with his son. “It’s only about 15 minutes from downtown, 10 minutes from Brentwood and Williamson County. It’s very centrally located, which is one of its draws.”

Traditional ranch-style houses with renovations
Crieve Hall's lush tree canopy is especially notable along Stillwood Drive, which cuts through a site once home to a luxurious English Tudor estate that gave the neighborhood its name. Here residents will find large groupings of maples and towering pines providing the community with ample shade. Designed without sidewalks, residents still enjoy casual strolls throughout the neighborhood. Traditional ranch-style houses and some bi- and split-levels make up much of the housing stock in Crieve Hall. While price points here had dipped into the lower $300- and $400,000s, around 2020, a combination of demand and renovations has driven these figures back up. Miller’s son, who lived in Crieve Hall for about a decade, bought his home for about $200,000 during the first half of the 2010s, and — following some renovations and expansions — ended up selling it for well over $800,000. Price points now can go from just under $400,000 for a split-level style townhouse to $850,000 for a roughly 2,400-square-foot ranch-style home.

Exotic exhibits at Croft Middle School and top band at John Overton High
Younger children in this community can attend Crieve Hall and Granbery elementary schools, which respectively received grades of B-plus and B from ratings site Niche. Crieve Hall Elementary School’s extracurricular activities include piano and an inventors club. The school also encourages learning outside of the classroom by inviting its students to events at prominent institutions like the Ellington Agricultural Center. “I call it a ‘private-public’ school. It’s got great teachers, leadership and community involvement,” Hite says. From there, students attend the Croft Design Center Middle School before finishing out their primary education at John Overton High School. These schools respectively received grades of C and B-minus from Niche. Croft is unique in that it neighbors the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere and allows some of the school’s students and teachers to tend to several exotic animal exhibits. One of John Overton High’s most renowned extracurricular groups is its highly-regarded marching band, which has won and been a finalist for the Tennessee Governor’s Cup several times throughout its history.
Crieve Hall Elementary is home to several local little league teams.

Staying close through weekly BYOB meetups and Fall in the Hall celebration
Crieve Hall maintains its strong-knit community through several annual events, like Drinks in the Driveway, a weekly BYOB gathering that occurs during the summer months. Residents are invited to visit one another's driveways to mingle over drinks. From May to mid-autumn, those looking for farm fresh produce head to the parking lot of the Crievewood Methodist Church for the seasonal “Farmin’ in the Hall" market. The church also hosts the annual "Fall in the Hall" celebration each October: a free festival, children can enjoy attractions like bounce houses and music.

Learning local history at Travellers Rest Historic House and Museum
The Travellers Rest Historic House and Museum sits on the far northwestern corner of Crieve Hall, putting residents within arm’s reach of the oldest historic house the Nashville public can access. The site features a preserved Colonial-style building originally completed near the turn of the 19th century. Here, visitors can learn about the former plantation house itself and the history preceding its construction. Whitfield Park on the eastern end of the neighborhood offers a community green space with a playground for children and a field for youth softball players. Park-goers can also access a tree-lined path that runs parallel to Sevenmile Creek and continues just past Marchant Drive to the south. Stepping outside of the neighborhood, there’s the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere to the north and Radnor Lake State park to the west in the neighboring community of Oak Hill. The roughly 1,300-acre state park offers nearly 8-miles of trail for exploring the forest, where hikers might easily spot wildlife like owls, turtles and deer.

Slices and ice cream at Yogi’s Pizzeria
A few neighborhood staples exist right along Trousdale Drive, just east of the Travellers Rest site. Groups can share a hot pie under the festive decor of multi-colored hanging lights at Yogi’s Pizzeria. Yogi’s offers free deliveries to select streets in Crieve Hall, and the establishment is also popular for its ice cream. “You’d be surprised how many families come in at 7:30 to get ice cream and not eat pizza. You don’t have to get into a lot of traffic to get there,” Hite says. The Crieve Hall Bagel Co. neighbors Yogi’s, and offers a relaxing cafe atmosphere where patrons bring their laptops along to get some work done. Crieve Hall lies a short drive north of Brentwood, where the area of Old Hickory Boulevard and Franklin Road is dense with chain brand stores. Crieve Hall residents looking for grocery shopping can choose from the nearby Kroger, Publix or Fresh Market. Dining options in this part of Brentwood include the Nashville metro’s only Corky’s Ribs & BBQ, a Memphis-based chain well known across the state for products like its bottled barbecue sauce.
