Woodbine/South Nashville

Overview

As home prices across Nashville continue to soar, many millennial home buyers and strategic investors are setting their eyes on other areas. Woodbine and South Nashville are two examples of affordable, up-and-coming neighborhoods that are expected to rise in value over the next several years. There is already talk that South Nashville might be the “new” East Nashville — the area that currently reigns as one of the most vibrant, hip and desirable neighborhoods in the city.

Things to Do

Due to their prime location along Interstate 65 and Interstate 440, Woodbine and South Nashville are just minutes away from some of the hottest restaurants, shopping centers and cultural attractions the city has to offer.

As a testament to the area’s increasing hipness, there are also several excellent coffee shops, like Red Bicycle Coffee. Need a little fresh air? Drive south down Nolensville Pike to visit the Nashville Zoo or make your way through Glencliff to stroll around the park at Paragon Mills.
