Take in the views at the rhinoceros station at the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere.
Exotic animals and big box retail on the outskirts of Nashville
Less than 10 miles — or 20 minutes — south of downtown, tiger cubs and poison dart frogs represent just two of the more than 350 species in the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere. Families push strollers through the bamboo trails, and kids have their choice between anteaters and rhinoceroses on the wild animal carousel. South Nashville, a suburban expanse comprised of several smaller neighborhoods on the outskirts of Tennessee’s capital city, is divided by Interstates 24 and 40. There are also natural boundaries like Mill Creek, where anglers cast their lines for smallmouth bass and kids hunt for crawfish in the shallows. In South Nashville, it’s a blend of country living and big-box retail. According to Reed Sircy, a Realtor with Bradford Real Estate born and raised in Music City, home values tend to increase farther west, and “Interstate 65 is also a pretty major divider.” To the east is Nashville International Airport, and Sircy says the sound of jet engines has become something akin to “white noise” for many residents. Ultimately, living in South Nashville can mean anything from creek access and half-acre lots to condo units beside the highway.
Modern Duplexes are visible in South Nashville.
Mid-century brick blends with new construction
Populations in the Nashville metropolitan area have surged over the past decade, and nearly 100 new people move to Music City and its surrounding neighborhoods every day. It’s a 21st-century boomtown, and brand-new vinyl-sided townhouses contrast with mid-century brick. “There’s a wide range of homes,” confirms Flor Meglar, a managing broker at Mi Casa Realty with over 20 years of experience in the area. “You have homes built from the 1940s and 1950s to new construction.” Older properties, most of which are three-bedroom ranch-styles and compact single-story cottages, start in the mid $300,000s and can sell for upwards of $500,000 depending on recent renovations; some require fresh paint and more extensive internal maintenance. Attached garages are rare, and cars park in driveways or underneath covered porticos. Prospective buyers will also find new construction, and prices for single-family homes built in the 2020s start in the mid-$500,000s and sometimes exceed $900,000. There are also condominium communities in South Nashville, and a two-bedroom unit can hover between $130,000 and $250,000.
Degthai is a local favorite in South Nashville.
Fast casual dining options along Thomspon Lane and Nolensville Pike
When it comes to shopping and dining options in South Nashville, Meglar says, “There’s just a huge variety.” She highlights House of Kabob, which has been serving authentic Persian dishes like Chicken Sultani and Okra Stew off Thompson Lane since the late ‘90s. Nolensville Road is also a go-to for ordering out, according to Meglar, and options include roadside taco trucks like Taqueria El Dolar #2 and Degthai, a Thai restaurant that consistently earns “Best of Nashville” status for its fried rice. Farther south, specialty grocery options include Patel Brothers. The Lost Paddy Irish Pub, known for hosting live bands nightly and trivia on Tuesdays, sits at South Nashville’s northernmost border. One Hundred Oaks Shopping Center, home to big box retailers like Walmart Supercenter, T.J. Maxx and Ulta can be found to the west.
The flamingos love the attention of all the guests at the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere.
Tigers, jungle gyms and annual events at the Nashville Zoo
Central to South Nashville is the city’s zoo, which spans close to 200 acres and houses over 6,000 animals; the tigers are one of the main draws here, but kids also enjoy the onsite zip line, wilderness express train and jungle gym. The zoo — which remains amongst the nation’s largest — also offers summer camps and events like Brew at the zoo, where visitors can sample craft beers, wander between food trucks and check out exhibits as the sun goes down. According to Sircy, “A lot of families will have zoo passes.” A half mile away, stop at Plaza Mariachi for salsa night and weekend flea markets, where vendors sell everything from home goods to fresh vegetables. Admission is $15 at the Travellers Rest Historic House Museum, where visitors can learn about Civil War history, and vintage cars are on display at Lane Motor Museum.
Glencliff High School has around 1,100 students enrolling every year in Nashville.
Four academies at Glencliff High School
South Nashville students can attend public school within the Metro Nashville System. Depending on their address, options include Glengarry Elementary, Wright Middle and Glencliff High, all three of which earned C-minus grades from the educational review site, Niche. Glencliff is one of 12 local high schools belonging to the Academies of Nashville system, and options include the Freshman Academy, the Academy of Agriculture, Automotive, and Technology, the Academy of Health and Hospitality and the Ford Academy of Business and Innovation. Within these programs, students have the opportunity to partner with nearby institutions like Vanderbilt Hospital.
Locals can enjoy playing Disc Golf at Seven Oaks Park in South Nashville.
Picnic shelters and public greenways in local parks
Nashvillians can reserve picnic shelters for family reunions or outdoor birthday celebrations at Seven Oaks Park, located near the Nashville International Airport. There’s also a playground and frisbee golf course, and it’s not uncommon to spot deer grazing in the early morning hours. Spanning nearly 3 miles in Whitsett Park, the Mill Creek Greenway is a paved trail popular amongst local dog walkers and cyclists. There’s also Radnor Lake State Park, which, according to Sircy, “is one of the most photogenic places you can go” about 7 miles — or 20 minutes — from the heart of South Nashville. This nature preserve spans over 1,000 acres and includes rugged hiking trails and birding opportunities. Sircy also points to Geodis Park, found to the north up Nolesville. “A bunch of restaurants and businesses are popping up just because there’s so much traffic on game days,” says Sircy, adding that the city’s Major League Soccer team has brought a lot of new activity to the area.
South Nashville has bus stops that dot the neighborhood for public transit access.
Residents advocate for more public transit in Music City
As the Nashville Metropolitan Area continues to grow, so does the need for a comprehensive public transit system; residents have advocated for a subway or even an in-air gondola service going to and from the city’s international airport. WeGo buses stop along major thoroughfares like Nolensville Pike, and bus 52 provides passage from the zoo into Downtown Music City — still, there’s a push for more routes. South Nashville residents can access medical care at TriStar Southern Hills, found near Harding Place shopping.
