Sunset View has laid-back living outside the busy Opryland area

On the banks of the Cumberland River, Sunset View is a Nashville neighborhood with big yards, midcentury homes and a slow speed limit. Prices stay well below East Nashville, and you can catch river views from nearby parks. When you’re in the neighborhood, you might never guess that all the activity of the Opryland area, including the massive Opry Mills outlet mall, is less than a 10-minute drive away. Despite the cluster of live music venues and major attractions right next door, Sunset View stays a peaceful suburban pocket of northeast Nashville.

Midcentury brick ranch-style homes with spacious lots

Sunset View has a vintage suburban feel thanks to its ranch-style homes from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Expect all-brick exteriors, hardwood floors and large yards around half an acre. Most homes have been updated over the years, and some have even been converted into duplexes. Single-family homes range from the mid-$300,000s to the lower $700,000s. The median price is on par with nearby Music Valley and Donelson, but lower than East Nashville neighborhoods like Inglewood.

“Houses tend to be on bigger lots, which is nice,” says Jacob Kupin, a Realtor and the founder of the Kupin Group. “It’s a suburban environment.” There aren’t many sidewalks in the neighborhood, but a slow speed limit and the lack of through traffic means you will see neighbors out for a walk and kids heading to the nearby elementary school.

Opryland is full of entertainment and shopping options

Sunset View sits right on the edge of Opryland, an entertainment district with some of the city's most popular attractions and tourist magnets. Here's what's nearby:

  • Grand Ole Opry, the country's longest-running radio show, with a 4,400-seat hall that hosts live performances
  • Opry Mills, Tennessee's biggest outlet mall across more than a million square feet with 200-plus stores and a Regal cinema with IMAX
  • Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, a sprawling resort with restaurants, the SoundWaves water park and indoor gardens under glass atriums
  • Music Valley Drive, just outside the main Opry complex, this is where you'll find antique stores and The Nashville Palace, a honky-tonk running since 1977
When you want to skip the tourist shuffle, you can head 3 miles south into Donelson for everyday amenities like Kroger and Publix.

Trails and parks along the banks of the Cumberland River

Nearby Two Rivers Park is a 374-acre green space with the Two Rivers Golf Course, a skate park and the seasonal Wave Country water park. The Stones River Greenway connects to pedestrian bridge leading over the Cumberland River to the Shelby Bottoms Greenway and Natural Area. All in all, you get more than 20 miles of paved paths for walking, running and cycling. “The Two Rivers greenway trail is actually something we’re talking about doing more with,” says Kupin, who serves as a city council member. “There’s as much river as someone could want, and people take boats downtown in Nashville for celebrations like July 4.”

Two Rivers Park is home to the Wave Country waterpark.

By taking Briley Parkway, you can drive the 12 miles into Downtown Nashville in just over 20 minutes. The parkway also runs to Nashville International Airport in about 7 miles, so catching a flight is easy. "There's nice proximity to everything," Kupin says. "Briley gets you to the city quickly."
