In the 18th century, Thomas Talbot bought land to grow an apple orchard to supply brandy to his tavern and other local inns, making Talbot’s Corner a hot spot for travelers passing through. Today, a memorial sign recognizes this Nashville suburb’s humble beginnings that has grown slowly but surely into a booming residential district just 3 miles from Music City. “It’s an up-and-coming area, and the city has huge development plans along Dickerson Pike. Homebuyers feel like they’re near the urban core, while the homes are more affordable than other areas,” says Ann Small, a Realtor at Compass Tennessee. “There are homes packed in close together but also larger lot sizes, too, especially closer to East Nashville.”
