A historic neighborhood in buzzing East Nashville
In the late 1800s, electric streetcar lines connected east Nashville to downtown, transforming a neighborhood that was once settled by the elites, into a more accessible suburb. Through this development, the area known as Lockeland Springs began to grow, and a new class of teachers, railroad workers and merchants moved in. By 1978, residents founded the Lockeland Springs Neighborhood Association, a group that is still active today and hosts events like porch parties, holiday celebrations and general meetings throughout the year. As East Nashville’s commercial development has increased – specifically in the neighboring community of Five Points, an artsy dining and nightlife district – so too has the demand for homes. “Lockeland Springs has been one of the most desirable pockets of East Nashville for quite some time because that’s where the neighborhood really started to transition after the 1998 tornado,” explains Realtor Robert Drimmer. “It’s right beside Five Points, a commercial hub that everyone in the neighborhood walks to.” Nashville native and Realtor Griffin Jamerson echoes this sentiment, “It’s the best part of East Nashville. Lockeland Springs still feels like old Nashville. Its historic, well-kept homes make it both traditional and unique. It’s the type of neighborhood that people who visit Music City expect to see.”

Some of Nashville’s best-preserved historic homes
Lockeland Springs has some of the city’s best-preserved historic houses – and with that, some of its highest prices. The average home value here is more than $300,000 over the average for the Nashville metro area, and homes sell after an average of 18 days, less than half the national average of 44. “A lot of the homes here were built between the late 1800s and the 1920s,” Jamerson says. “There are very active neighborhood associations and historic societies in Lockeland that work to preserve the older homes. Many people are interested in buying older homes for their unique accents such as intricate moldings and pocket doors.” Most homes here are historic – buyers will find early 20th-century farmhouses, Craftsman and Tudors – and new builds typically mimic the architecture of the neighborhood’s original homes. In Lockeland Springs, $500,000 to $1 million can buy a sizeable, well-restored single-family home, and a million to $2 million buys new builds and historic homes that are particularly large or architecturally unique.

East Nashville dining and nightlife
Five Points’ dining and nightlife scene feeds into Lockeland Springs, which also has its own collection of bars, restaurants and bakeries. Five Daughters Bakery sits at the neighborhood’s northeast corner and is known for its croissant-like 100-layer donuts, and its paleo and gluten-free pastry options. Beside the bakery, Two Ten Jack is a modern Japanese restaurant serving ramen and sushi, and Graze serves plant-based breakfast, lunch and dinner entrees. Bill’s Sandwich Palace, central to the neighborhood, serves an eclectic mix of hearty sandwiches and the Frothy Monkey on the south end serves coffee, brunch and dinner. The neighborhood’s best-known restaurant is Lockeland Table, which serves upscale Southern food in a rustic setting. “Lockeland Table is the quintessential farm-to-table restaurant,” Drimmer says. “It’s owned by a local family in a beautifully repurposed building.” He also recommends Urban Cowboy, a neighborhood bed and breakfast with a restaurant and bar. “It’s set in a beautiful old Victorian home with indoor and outdoor bars and fireplaces where people will sit and have cocktails in the wintertime,” he says. “It’s very vibey and cool.” For groceries, residents shop at the ALDI or Kroger in the neighborhood’s northwest corner. Nightlife options include Chopper, a colorful tiki bar on Gallatin; Dion’s Bar & Grill, a cozy diner and dive bar; and Lipstick Lounge, a bar with karaoke and trivia.
