Quiet living within reach of Music City
On the residential outskirts of Nashville, Gra-Mar Acres offers those who live there an escape from the bustle of downtown but retains close proximity to the city’s amenities and culture. With the city only about 15 minutes away, residents can stay within reach of the nightlife of Music City, but the neighborhood’s tree-lined streets, large lots and sizable yards make for tranquil living in central Tennessee. “The homes have a charming character,” says Jacob Kupin, a Realtor and the founder of the Kupin Group. “Gra-Mar Acres is near some larger neighborhoods like Inglewood and Cleveland Park and has more historic homes. Five Points is further south, but that’s also a big area.”
Residents of Gra-Mar Acres enjoy the hush of the outer suburbs.

Ranch homes commonly found in Gra-Mar Acres
Ranch homes are far and away the most common architectural style in Gra-Mar Acres, typically ranging between $400,000 and $600,000 and mostly built around the mid-20th century. Some properties have sold in the high $300,000 bracket, while others have been bought for above the $600,000 mark. The spacious lots the homes sit on mean they’re somewhat removed from the roads and make for plenty of yard space on the mostly flat landscape. Other design features, like brick ranches, colorful siding and raised homes, can also be found in the neighborhood along with other architecture like Colonial and Craftsman houses.
The Gra-Mar Acre's neighborhood doesn't deal with the hills that many Tennessee suburbs do.

Parks beyond Gra-Mar Acres
Similar to the schooling, residents need to head beyond Gra-Mar Acres’ boundaries to visit parks and engage in outdoor activities.

Featuring a one-mile paved trail that winds up and down a nearby hill, some play areas with slides, a jungle gym and basketball courts, the photogenic park prides itself on innovation. Shelby Bottoms Nature Center and Greenway is about 15 minutes south, spanning almost a thousand acres along the Cumberland River and featuring summer programs at its center along with miles of paved trails near the water.

Local beer, barbecue and ice cream
For a taste of local flavor, stop in at the Sip Café for their coffee or ice cream, the latter of which is made by hand. Shotgun Willie’s BBQ, located on Gallatin Pike, offers smoked fare during lunch hours from Wednesday through Sunday, while the road it’s on serves many of local residents’ needs. There’s a Kroger for grocery necessities, a Home Depot for fixing whatever’s on the docket and other establishments covering banking and medical care. East Nashville Beer Works, just to the southeast, welcomes patrons seven days a week and even allows dogs in its beer garden, and Mike’s Ice Cream & Coffee Bar has over 30 flavors populating its menu.

Annual events near the neighborhood
“East Nashville is kind of like our Brooklyn,” says Kupin, who also serves as the city councilperson for downtown Nashville. “There’s vegan restaurants, and one of the coolest things is the Tomato Art Fest. There’s also Eastside Bowl, which is super cool.” Residents can hit the lanes at the retro-styled bowling and restaurant facility, which is just across the parkway from Gra-Mar Acres. Shelby Bottoms, to the south, hosts seasonal events like the Shelby Race Series, guided hikes, art exhibitions and seasonal Fridays by the River gatherings. The Tomato Art Fest draws thousands each year and celebrates fruits and vegetables, complete with contests, costumed attendees and more activities.
