PRICES, NEIGHBORHOODS & MARKET DATA | 37206 & 37216

Where East Nashville Is and Why It Matters

East Nashville sits directly across the Cumberland River from downtown, connected by the Woodland Street Bridge, the Shelby Avenue Bridge, and the Korean Veterans Boulevard crossing. Five minutes from Broadway. Ten minutes from the Gulch. But a completely different price tier and lifestyle from either. What started as Nashville’s first suburb in the 1870s, when Edgefield was platted as its own incorporated town, evolved through a century of boom, decline, and reinvention into one of the most sought-after addresses in Middle Tennessee.

The area covers two primary zip codes. Zip code 37206 includes the historic core: Five Points, Lockeland Springs, Historic Edgefield, Shelby Hills, Eastwood, and Rosebank. Zip code 37216 extends north and east into Inglewood, Greenwood, Cleveland Park, and the neighborhoods along Ellington Parkway. The two zip codes share an identity but not a price point, and understanding which one fits your budget and lifestyle is the first decision every East Nashville buyer makes.

The Oracle River North campus, a 70-acre headquarters development along the East Bank of the Cumberland, is expected to bring more than 8,000 high-paying jobs to the area and position Nashville as a hub for artificial intelligence. That campus sits at the western edge of East Nashville, and its impact on home values in the adjacent neighborhoods has already begun. The Gallatin Pike corridor, East Nashville’s main commercial spine, is entering a Complete Streets redesign phase that will reshape access and walkability for every neighborhood along its path.

East Nashville Neighborhoods

East Nashville is not one neighborhood. It is a collection of smaller pockets, each with its own architecture, price range, tree canopy, and personality. Below is a guide to the primary neighborhoods. Where a dedicated neighborhood page exists, the link takes you to a deeper dive with street-level data and current listings.

Five Points and Lockeland Springs (37206)

The center of East Nashville. Five Points is the commercial intersection where 11th Street, Woodland, and Clearview converge, surrounded by restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and independent retail. Lockeland Springs wraps around Five Points with tree-lined streets, restored Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, and some of the most architecturally intact residential blocks in Nashville. Lockeland Design Center Elementary, the neighborhood magnet school, is a significant draw for families. Homes here range from $600,000 to $1.5 million, with the most desirable streets near the Five Points core pushing past $1.5 million for large-lot renovations and new construction.

Historic Edgefield (37206)

Nashville’s oldest suburb, platted in the 1870s. Edgefield features Italianate Victorians, Queen Annes, and early 20th century cottages on some of the most beautiful streetscapes in the city. It borders downtown directly, with walking access to the Shelby Avenue pedestrian bridge and the East Bank development. Prices range from $500,000 to $1.2 million depending on condition and lot size. Edgefield’s proximity to Oracle’s River North campus makes it the East Nashville neighborhood most directly affected by the incoming development.

Shelby Hills and Shelby Avenue (37206)

Shelby Hills sits between Edgefield and Shelby Bottoms, offering a mix of renovated cottages, new infill construction, and some remaining original stock at lower price points than Lockeland Springs. Shelby Avenue is the primary east-west corridor, lined with a mix of residential and commercial uses. Shelby Village is a pocket neighborhood within this area. Homes range from $450,000 to $900,000. KIPP Kirkpatrick Elementary is located here.

Rosebank (37206)

Rosebank is growing quickly with new construction and renovations filling in what was one of the last relatively affordable pockets within 37206. Prices range from $400,000 to $700,000, making it one of the strongest value plays for buyers who want a 37206 address without paying Five Points prices. Rosebank Elementary serves the area. The neighborhood is ideal for first-time buyers and investors alike.

McFerrin Park (37206/37207 Border)

McFerrin Park sits at the northern edge of 37206, bordering 37207. It offers a higher concentration of new construction than most East Nashville neighborhoods, with builders filling in lots that sat vacant for years. Prices range from $450,000 to $900,000. McFerrin Park is a strong option for buyers who want newer construction at a slightly lower price point than Five Points, with easy access to Gallatin Pike and the restaurants and shops along that corridor.

Inglewood (37216)

Inglewood anchors the northeast corner of East Nashville, bordered by Briley Parkway to the north, the Cumberland River to the east, and Gallatin Pike to the west. It is the largest neighborhood by geographic area in the East Nashville universe and offers the widest variety of housing: mid-century brick ranches on large lots, renovated bungalows, new construction infill, and pockets of unrenovated homes that attract investors. Prices range from $400,000 to $800,000. Inglewood’s larger lot sizes and relative affordability have made it the fastest-growing segment of the East Nashville market, with its share of total closings rising from 31% in January 2025 to 47% by March 2026.

Greenwood and Cleveland Park (37216)

Greenwood and Cleveland Park represent the most affordable entry points in East Nashville. Greenwood features a mix of original ranch homes and early-stage renovation activity, with some homes still available under $400,000. Cleveland Park is an up-and-coming neighborhood with new development alongside historic Craftsman homes, offering prices from $350,000 to $700,000. Both neighborhoods benefit from Ellington Parkway access and proximity to the Gallatin Pike commercial corridor. For buyers priced out of 37206, these neighborhoods deliver East Nashville’s culture and community at a more accessible price.

Eastwood (37206)

Eastwood sits between Lockeland Springs and Inglewood, straddling the 37206/37216 boundary. It offers a transitional price point between the two zip codes, with a mix of older homes, renovations, and new infill. Prices typically range from $500,000 to $800,000. Eastwood benefits from walkability to Five Points businesses while offering slightly more space and less traffic than the core 37206 streets.

What It Is Like to Live in East Nashville

Food and Drink

East Nashville’s restaurant and bar scene is the reason many buyers first visit the neighborhood. Five Points anchors the dining core with Lockeland Table, Five Points Pizza, and a rotating cast of independent restaurants. Riverside Village, a quieter pocket along Eastland Avenue, is home to Mitchell Delicatessen, Lou (seasonal fare and natural wine in a repurposed house), and Sho Pizza Bar. The Gallatin Pike corridor adds depth with international restaurants, taco shops, and Vietnamese and Kurdish cuisine that reflect the area’s diversity. For nightlife, the range runs from craft cocktails at Bastion to pinball at No Quarter to wine at Van Gogh’s Ear.

Parks and Outdoor Space

Shelby Bottoms Greenway is the defining outdoor amenity. More than 950 acres of natural area along the Cumberland River with miles of paved and unpaved trails for running, biking, and walking. Shelby Park adds baseball and softball fields, playgrounds, two golf courses, and a dog park. East Park provides another neighborhood green space. The greenway connects to the larger Nashville greenway system, allowing trail access from East Nashville all the way to downtown and beyond.

Schools

East Nashville is served by Metro Nashville Public Schools. Lockeland Design Center Elementary is the most sought-after neighborhood school, operating as a magnet with a design-focused curriculum. Other elementary options include Ida B. Wells, Hattie Cotton, Rosebank, and Inglewood Elementary. KIPP Kirkpatrick Elementary (charter) serves Shelby Hills. Middle school options include Gra-Mar Middle School. Stratford STEM Magnet High School is the zoned high school for most of East Nashville. Several private and charter options are also accessible within the area. School zoning can vary by address, so call Patrick at 615-682-1718 to confirm zoning for a specific property.

Commute and Access

East Nashville’s proximity to downtown is its most practical advantage. From Five Points and Lockeland Springs, you are 8 to 12 minutes from the central business district. From the eastern edges near Shelby Hills and Inglewood, 12 to 18 minutes. Approximately 73% of East Nashville residents commute in under 30 minutes. Major access routes include I-24, I-65 (via connecting roads), Briley Parkway, Ellington Parkway, and Gallatin Pike. The Nashville International Airport is roughly 15 minutes from most East Nashville addresses via I-40 or Briley Parkway.

What Is Coming

Oracle’s River North campus on the East Bank of the Cumberland is the largest single development in Nashville’s history. The 70-acre project will include over 2 million square feet of office space, a Nobu hotel, retail, and new public parks along the river. The campus sits directly adjacent to East Nashville’s western neighborhoods, and the 8,000+ jobs it creates will add demand pressure to an already supply-constrained market. The Gallatin Pike Complete Streets redesign will improve pedestrian safety, bike infrastructure, and transit access along the corridor that connects nearly every East Nashville neighborhood. Both projects are catalysts for long-term value appreciation.

How to Navigate the East Nashville Market

East Nashville rewards buyers who know where to look. The difference between overpaying and finding value often comes down to which streets within a neighborhood you target, whether a home’s renovation was done with permits, and how the comparable sales data breaks down by product type. Patrick Higgins publishes the only monthly market report for East Nashville with verified MLS data, zip code analysis, and macro context. That data informs every buyer consultation his team conducts.

If you are a first-time buyer in the $400,000 to $600,000 range, start in 37216. Inglewood and Rosebank offer the best combination of price, quality, and appreciation potential.
