Antioch

Overview

Named for the Anatolian city of Antioch, Turkey, this up-and-coming neighborhood is situated 15 minutes southeast of downtown Nashville, and is home to more than 97,000 people. The area has changed a great deal in the past several years, and as more businesses and investors move in to take advantage of the low property prices, more job opportunities and residents are expected to follow suit.

Things to Do

Visit Ford Ice Center, which offers public skate sessions, skating lessons and teams for figure skating and hockey. Looking for some fresh air? Antioch Park, which is located just across the street from Antioch Middle School, is home to the Mill Creek Greenway and the Antioch Community Center. Another popular recreation area is Cane Ridge Park, which features baseball fields, a walking trail, playground and picnic shelters available for rent. And of course, with downtown Nashville located just 15 minutes to the north, you’re never far away from the region’s hottest restaurants, shopping and cultural attractions.

With the median home price hovering around $283,000, Antioch features a wealth of affordable apartments, townhomes and single family homes that were constructed from the 1970’s to today.
