Why the Riverfront is a good place to live
The Riverfront offers high-end urban vibes and quick access to recreation and a vibrant dining and entertainment scene. Several of Downtown Nashville’s sleek high-rises and the iconic “Batman” tower overlook this neighborhood along the Cumberland River. Residents here may easily walk to the Riverfront Park, as well as restaurants, cocktail bars and live music and sporting venues. The neighborhood is directly across the river from the East Bank, where there are plans to bring in an ambitious mixed-use project and new homes for both software giant Oracle and the Tennessee Titans.
There are historic buildings that have been converted into condos.
Buyers will find many condos
The Riverfront has many luxury condos and apartments in modern multi-story buildings overlooking streets and sidewalks bustling with walkers. Notable properties include the Four Seasons Hotel, which also has residences and a rooftop area that offers views of the city. Other amenities in this area include community terraces, outdoor pools, small gyms and parking garages.
Jon Sexton, president and CEO of Nashville HOME, a leading team with Benchmark Realty, says the area draws buyers from “all over the board.” “You’ll get people who use it as a second home, and they have a place downtown because they want to go down and spend the weekends there,” he says. “You don’t see a lot of families downtown, so it’s definitely going to be singles or couples, that’s for sure.”
Riverfront is more expensive than many Nashville neighborhoods
When it comes to costs, the Riverfront is on the city’s higher end, even when compared with nearby neighborhoods. The Riverfront’s median sale price of about $1.3 million is more than double that of the city and neighbors like Downtown Nashville and The Gulch. Depending on a mix of size and location, condos may sell from the low $600,000s to $1.7 million for one over 1,000 square feet. Larger and even more upscale units may run between $3.5 million and $5.1 million.
Riverfront Park and trails offer plenty of recreation
Riverfront Park is the neighborhood’s main outdoor destination and runs along the bank of the Cumberland River. The park offers a place to relax and see the water and is a stopping point along the Cumberland River Greenway. The trail goes to a few nearby neighborhoods and other destinations like downtown’s passenger rail stop. Trail users may also get on a path that leads to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. Other amenities include the Nashville Street Workout Park for people who like to do outdoor calisthenics and the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
The Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park has 19 acres of green space and pathways.
The Cumberland River Greenway is a trail that runs through the Riverfront neighborhood.

There are many options for cocktails and comfort foods
“With all the attractions that Downtown Nashville has, just to be a few steps from it all, makes it [the Riverfront] extremely attractive,” Sextons says. The neighborhood is close to the many bars in Printer’s Alley and Broadway’s Honky Tonk Highway, as well as several more upscale restaurants and watering holes around First and Second avenues:
Zuzu Nashville serves Asian fusion in a place with cultural decor.
The Hampton Social is known for its seafood and classic comfort foods.
The Rutledge is a modern grill in the Four Seasons building.
Doc Holliday’s Saloon is a Western-themed bar with dollar bills on its walls and ceiling.
Acme Feed and Seed has bar fare, occasional live music and rooftop views.
“There are a lot of rooftop bars in downtown Nashville,” Sexton says. “When I moved here, that didn’t exist. Now, you basically can’t have a bar without it.”
The neighborhood offers access to Nashville’s entertainment scene
The Riverfront’s entertainment venues include the Ascend Amphitheater, which has drawn a large variety of big-name recording artists since it opened in 2015. Rascal Flatts, Lenny Kravitz, Goo Goo Dolls and Phish are just a few of the performers who have played there over the years. The amphitheater’s lawn can hold crowds of several thousand people, while downtown’s cityscape serves as a backdrop to the venue’s large and modern stage.
Sports fans here are only a few blocks from Nashville Predators games at Bridgestone Arena and First Horizon Park, home of the Nashville Sounds minor league team. Just across the river is Nissan Stadium, home of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. Scheduled to be finished in 2027, the new Nissan Stadium is expected to boost the area’s vibrancy. “The stadium will bring us a Super Bowl — that’s the main reason for this investment here,” Sexton says. “When a Super Bowl comes to a town, that speaks volumes of how far Nashville has come and where it’s going.”
Commuters are close to the WeGo system and interstates
Riverfront is a convenient neighborhood for people who need to drive to commute or who try to limit their car use:
WeGo buses serve the area.
The WeGo Star rail system has a station off First Avenue South.
Commuters who drive have quick access to Interstates 24 and 40.
I-24 goes to Interstate 65, which offers a route to the Tennessee-Kentucky border.
The Nashville International Airport is less than 10 miles away.
