Edgehill has a historic village feel between Music Row and The Gulch

Just south of Downtown Nashville, Edgehill has spent the last century holding onto its small-village roots while the city grew up around it. This pocket between Music Row and The Gulch is a neighborhood in transition, where century-old Craftsman bungalows now share the block with sleek modern builds and narrow infill homes. The renovated Edgehill Village offers a charming mix of shops and restaurants, and downtown is less than 10 minutes away. Add in great parks and easy access to both Belmont and Vanderbilt University, and it's no wonder Edgehill is one of Nashville's fastest-growing areas.

Craftsman bungalows and an increase in modern “tall-skinnies”

You'll find a mix of century-old bungalows, condo communities and brand-new multi-story homes here. The median price, just under $900,000, trends higher than nearby areas like The Gulch, Music Row and Wedgewood-Houston. Condos start in the mid-$300,000s, and older homes needing work begin in the upper $500,000s. For move-in-ready places, expect to pay anywhere from the mid-$800,000s to $1.5 million.

According to Jana Brown, a Vanderbilt graduate and broker with PLACE Team of Keller Williams, the proximity to downtown is attracting a lot of attention to the neighborhood. “The density of Edgehill is increasing by over 4,000 households in the next decade,” she says. Edgehill’s early-1900s homes are increasingly being replaced by modern construction built with two homes on one lot — a style that locals call “tall-skinnies.”

Boutiques and dining at the renovated Edgehill Village

The historic 1920s storefronts at Edgehill Village have been renovated over the years, turning this small hub into a lively pocket of shops and restaurants. You’ll find a mix of local boutiques and upscale stores like Aesop and Warby Parker. Some of the area’s most popular restaurants include:

  • Bella Napoli Pizzeria, wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas in a neighborhood storefront
  • Old Glory, an underground speakeasy in a historic boiler room with craft cocktails and charcuterie
  • Barcelona Wine Bar, a Spanish-style tapas restaurant with an extensive wine list and a lively patio for sharing plates
  • Sadie's, a Mediterranean restaurant with shareable mezze plates in a bright, airy space

Front-row seats to Nashville’s music and comedy scene

Edgehill is close to The Gulch, known for its live music scene, and Music Row, known for its major recording studios. Spotting a well-known artist in the neighborhood isn't unusual, but Brown says, “If you fanboy with a famous person, it's a sort of announcement that you don't live here,” adding that playing it cool is an “unwritten rule” in Nashville. To appreciate the city's arts scene as the locals do, you can head to:

  • The Basement, a local low-key club that has helped launch the careers of singers like Kacey Musgraves and Sturgill Simpson
  • Zanies Comedy Night Club, Nashville's go-to comedy club for over 40 years, with nationally touring headliners and rising stars seven nights a week
  • The Station Inn, a no-frills, cash-only listening room in The Gulch for world-class bluegrass and roots music

Easy access to downtown, plus Belmont and Vanderbilt University

Nashville’s city center is less than 3 miles from Edgehill, a drive that typically takes less than 10 minutes. Many residents use WeGo Public Transit, catching the bus along 12th Avenue to head downtown. This area is also popular for its proximity to Belmont University, directly south, and Vanderbilt University, less than a mile west. In addition to the football games and cultural attractions the universities bring, Vanderbilt University Medical Center is the city’s largest employer.

Rose Park’s youth sports and William Edmondson’s art legacy

Rose Park is a community centerpiece, spanning nearly 25 acres on a former Civil War battleground. You'll find turf fields for soccer and baseball, plus a walking track, basketball courts and a playground. It's a busy spot for youth and adult sports leagues, along with activities run by the neighboring Rose Park Middle School.

William Edmondson Homesite Park and Gardens sits next to the Nashville Public Library's Edgehill Branch and honors William Edmondson, a groundbreaking African American sculptor and former Edgehill resident. The park hosts the annual William Edmondson Arts and Culture Festival, a free celebration of local artists with live demonstrations.

Edgehill's strong public and private school options

Edgehill is part of the Metro Nashville Public Schools district. Waverly-Belmont Elementary School earns a B-plus from Niche, and students can move on to West End Middle School, an International Baccalaureate World School. For private options, University School of Nashville is a kindergarten through 12th-grade school with strong visual and performing arts programs and an 80-acre athletics campus. Niche rates it A-plus.
