Talbot's Corner is a growing suburb along Dickerson Pike

Just 3 miles from Downtown Nashville, Talbot's Corner has quietly grown from an 18th-century apple orchard into one of the city's up-and-coming suburbs. You'll find a bit of everything here, from midcentury bungalows and ranch-style homes to sleek new construction, with prices that stay lower than the neighborhoods closer to East Nashville. Dickerson Pike is redeveloping into a major corridor, with new apartments, townhomes and mixed-use projects moving in. Plus, you're less than 5 miles from the buzz of East Nashville and downtown.

Midcentury and modern homes have a range of price points

Much of Talbot's Corner went up between the 1940s and 1980s, but the area has seen a big wave of new construction. "It's an up-and-coming area, and the city has huge development plans along Dickerson Pike," says Ann Small, a Realtor at Compass who has experience in the area. In the $200,000s to $400,000s, you'll find plenty of older bungalows and ranch-style homes. From the $500,000s to just over $1 million, new construction is more common. Newer properties often come in that tall-skinny style you'll see all over Nashville, where two narrow homes share one lot.

"There are homes packed in close together, but also larger lot sizes, too, especially closer to East Nashville," Small says, adding, "Homebuyers feel like they're near the urban core, while the homes are more affordable than other areas." With a median home price of around $460,000, Talbot's Corner is cheaper than communities closer to the city center, like Greenwood or Lockeland Springs.

Neighborhood parks and views of the Cumberland River

Down by the Cumberland River, Lock One Park is home to stone ruins from the original river lock system from the early 1900s. Old piers and stone steps lead to the water's edge, making a peaceful spot with river and city views. "You'll see a lot of people walking down by the water," Small says. "The Cumberland Heights area has amazing riverside and city lookouts." The Lock One Marina even offers a boat ride to and from the Titans football games.

Talbot's Corner is close to some of Nashville’s top events
