PREMIER EAST NASHVILLE | 37206 ZIP CODE | HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD

What Is Lockeland Springs?

Lockeland Springs is the premier residential neighborhood in East Nashville and one of Nashville’s most historically significant communities. Located in the 37206 zip code between Shelby Park to the south and the Five Points commercial district to the northwest, Lockeland Springs recorded 41 closed sales over the past 12 months at an $875,000 SFR median, making it the highest-priced neighborhood in the entire East Nashville content cluster. The neighborhood takes its name from the natural springs that once supplied water to the area, and the housing stock reflects over a century of Nashville’s residential history, from 1888 Victorians to 2025 new construction.

What sets Lockeland Springs apart from every other East Nashville neighborhood is the depth of its historic housing stock. Ninety-two percent of closed SFR sales were resale properties (pre-2020), with the largest concentrations built in the 1920s (12 homes) and 1930s (6 homes). Fifty-six percent of closed homes feature at least one fireplace. The neighborhood’s primary streets, including Lillian, Boscobel, Holly, Fatherland, and North 17th, are lined with Cottages, Victorians, and Traditional homes on generous 50-by-150 to 100-by-170-foot lots. Lockeland Design Center, The 5 Spot, Shelby Bottoms Greenway, and Lockeland Table anchor the neighborhood’s walkable commercial and recreational ecosystem.

Lockeland Springs vs. East Nashville Neighborhoods

Neighborhood	Zip	SFR Median	$/SqFt	Character
Lockeland Springs	37206	$875,000	$461	Premier EN, 92% resale, Victorians, Cottages, fireplaces
Cleveland Park	37207	$700,000	$337	1920s cottages + NC, EN-adjacent
McFerrin Park	37207	$590,000	$377	Widest range, active NC infill
Inglewood	37216	$610,000	$339	Largest 37216 neighborhood
Eastdale/East Hill	37216	$717,000	$339	NC-heavy infill

Lockeland Springs commands a 27% premium over the next-highest East Nashville neighborhood (Cleveland Park at $700,000) and a $461 per square foot rate that is 22% above the 37206 zip code average ($346) and 36% above 37216 ($339). The premium is driven by three factors that compound: irreplaceable historic housing stock that cannot be replicated, walkability to Shelby Bottoms, Five Points, and Fatherland Street, and the Lockeland Elementary school zone, one of the most desirable in Nashville. Buyers who prioritize historic character, walkability, and neighborhood prestige pay the Lockeland Springs premium. Buyers who want similar East Nashville access at a lower price point should explore Cleveland Park ($700,000, $337/sqft) or McFerrin Park ($590,000, $377/sqft).

Is Lockeland Springs a good fit for buyers who want East Nashville’s best historic housing stock with walkability to Five Points and Shelby Bottoms?

Lockeland Springs is the definitive neighborhood for that buyer. No other East Nashville neighborhood combines the depth of pre-1940 housing stock (71.8% of SFR sales built before 1950), the concentration of fireplaces (56.4%) and basements (38.5%), the walkability to both Five Points and Shelby Bottoms Greenway, and the Lockeland Elementary school zone. The $875,000 median reflects this combination. Buyers who want comparable historic character at a lower price point should also explore Cleveland Park ($700,000) and McFerrin Park ($590,000) in 37207, which are building similar walkable identity through the Dickerson Pike River North corridor.
