Lockeland Springs Homes for Sale | East Nashville 37206

A $861,000 Median on the Oldest Grid in East Nashville

Lockeland Springs is the grid of older streets just north and east of Five Points, from Holly Street and Fatherland Street up through Forest Avenue and Lillian Street, about 2.0 miles east of the downtown courthouse in ZIP 37206. 86 homes sold inside its map outline in the last twelve months at a $861,000 median, up from $805,000 the year before. Only the blocks right around Five Points, which overlap it, run as high.

Most of Lockeland Springs sits in the Lockeland Springs-East End neighborhood conservation overlay. The Metro Historic Zoning Commission reviews new construction, additions and demolition there, which is a big part of why the older houses still set the tone.

The Houses: Victorians, Cottages and a Few New HPRs

An HPR, short for horizontal property regime, is one of two homes built on a lot where one house used to stand. Each home is sold with its own share of the lot, and the two can stand apart (a detached HPR) or share a wall (an attached HPR).
