A creative East Nashville community with a buzzing food scene

Four miles northeast of downtown, Eastwood is a buzzing East Nashville neighborhood full of historic housing, trendy restaurants and local boutiques. "It's known as being artistic," says local Realtor Michael Gomez, broker and owner of Hive Nashville LLC. "It's a very creative community, and that's the biggest draw. East Nashville as a whole is the heartbeat of this community." Residents here like the area's walkability and their direct access to restaurants, bars, vintage shops and cafes. The backbone of this community's economy, visitors and residents alike keep the demand steady despite a recent natural disaster. "In 2020, Eastwood was hit really bad by a tornado that went through the heart of East Nashville," Gomez says. "But it wasn't stronger than the will of the people that live there. Everybody just giddied up and got back up. It's thriving again and ready to roll." Realtor Robert Drimmer emphasizes the uniqueness of the East Nashville community, reiterating that “East Nashville is a really beautiful, unique, quirky, cool place to live. You’ll see tons of people out walking either by themselves or with their dogs or kids. It’s honestly one of the hottest pockets in the entire country, and it’s been able to maintain the weirdness that makes East Nashville so awesome.”

Eastwood shopping and dining

Eastwood has plenty of restaurants in and around the neighborhood, as well as a central retail block at Chapel and Greenwood that features a bar, bridal shop, florist and bookstore. Gallatin Avenue has both an ALDI and a Kroger for groceries along with a rich selection of local eateries. "There are so many amazing local shops and restaurants, an insane amount of local stuff," Gomez says. An old-school country diner, The Nashville Biscuit House is known throughout the city for its friendly service, chicken fried steak and plates full of biscuits and gravy. Once Upon A Time In France is a traditional Parisian-style café with entrees like escargot and steak frites. East Side Banh Mi is a trendy Vietnamese spot and Pearl Diver is a vibey bar serving pina coladas and other creative cocktails in a cozy atmosphere with colorful lighting. Gallatin Avenue also has plenty of music venues to explore like The East Room and eccentric shops like Black Shag Vintage and Hail, which sells a curated collection of taxidermy, antiques and other oddities. “Noko is an amazing restaurant right on the cusp of Eastwood, and Café Roze is locally owned by renowned chef Julia Jaksic,” Drimmer says. “There’s a wonderful kids’ toy store called Tabla Rosa Toys where you can find families hanging out after school. It doubles as a soft-serve ice cream and coffee shop, and there’s a skate park outside. It’s a nice community spot.” On the neighborhood's south end, Rosepepper is an award-winning Mexican restaurant that Nashville Scene readers have voted as the city's best margarita for the past 11 years.

From early 20th-century bungalows to modern new builds

Eastwood has a rich variety of architecture, ranging from charming early 20th-century bungalows to modern townhouses and contemporary Craftsman-style new builds. Prices here are comparable to other East Nashville neighborhoods but high for Nashville at large, with an average home value costing over $100,000 more than the average for the metro area. “Eastwood and Lockeland Springs [to the south] are very similar neighborhoods,” Drimmer says. “Eastwood has slightly larger lots than Lockeland Springs, so it’s become equally as desirable if not slightly more because you still have the same walkability to dozens of restaurants but slightly larger yards and beautiful old historic estates.” Here, $400,000 to $800,000 can buy a townhouse or smaller single-family home, while $800,000 to $1.2 million buys a large new build or recently renovated historic home. The market here moves quickly, with homes selling after an average of 28 days.
