The 5 Neighborhoods With the Most Condos for Sale in Nashville
Anyone can see the massive transformation Nashville has undergone in the decade since the 2008 housing crisis and the devastating flood of 2010. The most obvious indicator of this change is the city’s seemingly ceaseless construction, causing many to joke that Tennessee’s new state bird is the “crane.”
That constant construction has resulted in a lot of condos for sale in Nashville. The Tennessean recently reported that construction permits for multi-family housing options like apartments, duplexes, townhomes, and condominiums rose nearly 72% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the previous year.
Regardless of what that astounding figure indicates—be it the rise of short-term Airbnb-style rentals among tourists or a trend toward renting among millennials in general—one thing can be sure: Any evaluation of Nashville’s real estate situation that doesn’t include the rise of condominiums is incomplete.
It’s not all statistics and analysis though. There are many reasons Nashville residents would choose to live in condominium buildings. As the urban landscape of Nashville expands, space is at a premium, and the convenience and community that comes with living in one of the city’s many prominent condos holds serious appeal.
From in-house services like gym access, rooftop entertaining spaces, and convenient waste disposal, life can be much simpler for professionals when everything is under one roof.
Downtown Nashville
Perhaps the most obvious choice for Nashville residents looking for an immersive urban living experience, Downtown Nashville has more than enough to offer in the way of entertainment, food, and drink. And finally, the urban core has a supermarket with the arrival of a Publix earlier this month, adding more practicality for Downtown locals.
Residents love living close to cultural touchstones like the Frist Art Museum and the historic Ryman Auditorium, and buildings like Viridian and Art Avenue Lofts provide sophisticated city living within walking distance.

The Gulch
The Gulch is without a doubt Nashville’s greatest success story. Once a dilapidated rail yard, this chic urban oasis has undergone a truly remarkable transformation in the last decade.
The most prominent condominium building in the area is The Icon, which blazed the trail ahead of the neighborhood’s newer builds and the subsequent retail and dining boom in the area. With murals on nearly every corner and enough shopping to last a lifetime, the neighborhood also offers residents access to Nashville’s beloved natural grocer Turnip Truck within walking distance.

Germantown
One of Nashville’s historic neighborhoods, Germantown is well-known for its condominium offerings. From renovated 100-year-old structures to brand-new builds, this urban neighborhood sits in the shadow of the state capitol in the heart of the city.
Buildings such as Werthan Lofts offer significant square footage and floor-to-ceiling windows with idyllic city views. Residents love that the area is one of Nashville’s most walkable neighborhoods offering Nashville’s best restaurants and coffee shops within the span of a few blocks.

West End
Out of earshot of Downtown’s raging honky-tonks and roving bands of bachelorette parties, West End is a neighborhood beloved by academics and professionals looking for a less chaotic urban experience than what one might find in the heart of the city. Residents love the greenspace at Centennial Park and the charm of the area’s tree-lined side streets and small businesses.
While West End is less walkable than some of its counterparts, the neighborhood is located on a major thoroughfare, putting most necessities within a five-minute car ride. Among the area’s classic buildings, West End Park Condominium has been a staple of the neighborhood skyline for decades.

Bellevue
While the west side’s most popular area, Bellevue, is not technically a neighborhood in itself, no comprehensive list of condominiums in the city would be complete without it. In fact, a majority of the neighborhoods contained within this municipality are actually planned communities or condominium buildings.
Among these offerings are Wessex Towers and Ashley Green, which offers housing options for residents 55 and over. One of Nashville’s fastest growing neighborhoods, Bellevue is a great option for homebuyers looking to downsize and invest outside the city limits.
