Fairlane
Single and multi-family options in a fast-moving market
In Fairlane, homes sell weeks faster than the national average, 25 days as opposed to 43. “As far as inventory levels are — we are way down,” says Parker. Prospective buyers will find a mix of townhouse units and single-family homes, new construction and mid-century brick. At the neighborhood’s southernmost border, two and three-bedroom attached units often hover between $200,000 and $300,000 dollars and feature brand-new appliances and small back patios with enough room for grilling out with neighbors. Cars park in reserved spaces out front. Meanwhile, mid-century ranch-styles can start in the low $300,000s and surpass $400,000 — investment properties, some of which were built prior to World War II, can sometimes sell for less than $300,000. New construction, often in Nashville’s trademark “tall and skinny” style, ranges from $450,000 to $600,000.

Global cuisine along Nolensville Pike
Drive along Nolensville Pike to find specialty grocers like JiHan International, known for their Halal meats and fresh bagels, Super Mercado Latina and Patel Brothers. Two Walmart Supercenters sit just a few minutes apart along the pike, meaning it never takes too long to find shelves stocked with brand-name cereals. Nolensville restaurants offer a range of global cuisines, everything from Thai to Greek, but small Mexican joints are by far the most common. Favorites include Laura’s Cocina, which advertises “Karaoke anytime,” and Los Cantaritos, known for its colorful interior and generous portion sizes. Stop by Nashville Used Music in Fairlane Shopping Center for a drum kit, guitar picks and sheet music. And ThriftSmart next door accepts donated clothes, books and household goods. Tanger Outlets is about 5 miles from Fairlane, an outdoor shopping mall that’s attracted thousands of South Nashvillians since its grand opening in 2023. Shoppers can finish out the day at Tailgate Brewery, sipping on fresh-brewed ciders and sours while surrounded by bags from American Eagle and Banana Republic.

Dog parks, ice rinks and free after-school programming
The fenced-in trails at William A. Pitts Park are popular with dog owners, who let their pets make friends off-leash. The park also has a small playground, and youth team practice at W.A. Pitts Baseball Park when the weather heats up in the spring. Bordering Interstate 24 to the east is Antioch Park and the Mill Creek Greenway. The trail system spans approximately 3 miles next to the water, running north towards Ezell Road Park. It costs $15 to rent skates at the Ford Ice Center; the rink is open year-round, but it gets especially busy in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Next door, enroll in a ZUMBA class at Southeast Community Center or join an adult basketball league — there are also free after-school programs for kids aged 6 through 14. Nashville Public Library’s Southeast branch is attached, and teen and children’s programs include Lego Club and “Watercolor Wednesdays.”

Nashville’s “Little Kurdistan”
To the north of Fairlane past Harding Place is an area often referred to as “Little Kurdistan,” where restaurants represent the flavors of Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey. Edessa serves kabobs and Baba Ganoush to diners at casual booths, and Jerusalem Reebar sits next to Salahadeen Center, which has served as a gathering place for members of the Nashville Muslim Community since 1998.

Season passes at the Nashville Zoo and flea markets at Plaza Mariachi
Over 350 species call the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere Home, and some Fairlane families opt for season passes. The zoo also has a popular jungle gym-style playground, summer camp opportunities and a packed events calendar. Stop by for the Hispanic Heritage Festival in late September or “BOOze at the Zoo” around Halloween, a nighttime event complete with a DJ, local beers and spooky decorations. Not too far away, find fresh produce and vintage collectibles at the Plaza Mariachi flea market on Saturdays and Sundays, or buy tickets to watch traveling circus performers, dancers and brassy mariachi bands.Academies of Nashville at neighborhood public schools
Area public schools belong to the Metro Nashville System, and kids can start off at Cole Elementary before moving on to Antioch Middle and Cane Ridge High. All three earned C-minus grades on the educational review site, Niche. Depending on their address, others are districted for Haywood Elementary and McMurray Middle, both of which earned C-minuses, before moving on to John Overton High, which received a B-minus. Both Cane Ridge and John Overton High belong to the Academies of Nashville System, and students can pursue specialized, career-related pathways in everything from coding to diagnostic services.

Rush hour traffic into Music City, USA
It can take anywhere between 20 and 45 minutes to travel into Nashville from Fairlane, and rush hour traffic tends to back up along Interstates 24 and 65. WeGo Bus 52 travels up Nolensville Pike, stopping through popular neighborhoods like Chestnut Hill and Rutledge Hill on the way to downtown attractions like the Country Music Hall of Fame. Most residents rely on their own cars to commute, and the city is looking into expanding public transit options to accommodate growing populations. Nashville’s International Airport is just 10 miles away from Fairlane, offering direct flights across the country and the Atlantic.

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.
