Why Glencliff is a good place to live

Glencliff is an area known for its diversity and for offering a little more room and peace than some of the more urbanized and recently developed parts of Nashville. This neighborhood Dolly Parton once called home is off Nolensville Road, where many restaurants serve foods from areas like the Mediterranean region, Latin America and various parts of Asia. Additionally, the community offers convenience through neighborhood schools and several nearby shopping centers with chain grocery stores and retailers.

Glencliff offers some room and mid-20th-century homes

Although Glencliff has some newer housing, buyers will find many Minimal Traditionals, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes from the World War II and mid-20th century eras. The neighborhood has a few garden-style apartment complexes, and about two-thirds of residents rent.

Many lots are less than a third of an acre, but a few properties in the central and southern parts of the neighborhood do run from about a half-acre to 1 acre. “It gives you that kind of feel of an established neighborhood, versus the 5-year-old neighborhood 10 miles down the highway, where the houses are on top of each other,” says Bobby Hite, a broker with Bobby Hite Co. Realtors.

What do the homes cost

The neighborhood has a median sale price of about $450,000, which is nearly $80,000 lower than Nashville’s. However, Glencliff’s median is in line with several other neighborhoods in this part of the city. Size is a cost factor, and homes under 2,000 square feet typically sell from the upper $200,000s to the upper $400,000s. Larger homes can range from the mid $300,000s to the low $800,000s. There are also some recently built townhouses from the mid $400,000s to the upper $500,000s.

The area is a destination for international cuisine

Scott Troxel, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, says Mexican, Thai, Uzbek and Kurdish are just a few of the cuisines found in this part of Nashville. “It’s just a very vibrant international restaurant community up and down Nolensville Pike,” he says. “You name it, it’s there.”

Degthai is an institution known for its street food, including fried egg, curry and noodle dishes. Haley Kaminsky, a Realtor with SimpliHOM, praises Degthai and calls the overall scene around Nolensville Road “a cultural destination.” “That’s won tons of awards,” she says about Degthai. “People, when they visit, like to leave downtown to go toward Glencliff to try Degthai.”

The Siam Cafe offers another option for Thai food, while Birrieria Cielito Lindo Nashville is just one of numerous Latin and Central American restaurants in the area. For traditional Uzbek fare, there’s OSH Restaurant & Grill, where the menu includes kebabs, dumplings and various rice pilaf dishes.

Several grocery and retail stores are nearby

For groceries and necessities, you can make a short trip down Nolensville Road to the Windlands Center. The stores there include Aldi and Music City Thrift, which often draws people looking for furniture, home decor and secondhand clothes that are still trendy. There’s a Walmart a little farther south, while Kroger in the Willowbrook Commons offers another option for groceries.

Nashville’s zoo and a few parks keep the community busy

Glencliff is close to one of the city’s top attractions, the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere. Located on nearly 190 acres, the zoo is among the 10 largest in the country by landmass. The Sumatran tiger and giraffe exhibits are popular, while distinct attractions include a zip line that lets its riders see the animals from above.

The neighborhood is near a few outdoor recreational spots. Coleman Park has open spaces, walking paths and a community center. The facility includes a basketball gym that visitors also use for pickleball, an indoor pool and an area with weights and fitness machines. If you’re looking for a place to play some pickup basketball or softball, you can head to Paragon Mills Park.

Glencliff has neighborhood schools

Although families may apply to schools outside of the neighborhood and zone, Glencliff is home to a few city schools. Students may start at Glencliff Elementary before going to Wright Middle and Glencliff High schools. Some of the area’s diversity is seen at Glencliff High, where many students originally come from different parts of the world and speak over two dozen languages. Like several other Nashville schools, Glencliff High is part of the Academies of Nashville, a series of career-focused programs. For example, one academy there aims to help first-year students start thinking about their future, while another offers courses on skills like auto repair.

The neighborhood is convenient for commuters

“It’s similar to Wedgewood [Wedgewood-Houston] with the accessibility to get anywhere,” Kaminsky says. “You’re right along the interstate, so it’s easy to hop on and get downtown and really anywhere.” Commuters have several options for getting around the city:

  • WeGo bus stops are along Nolensville Road and Thompson Lane.
  • Interstate 24 is part of the quickest route to the Nashville International Airport.
  • Nolensville Road goes toward Downtown Nashville, about 5 miles away.
