About East Nashville

One of the city's biggest neighborhoods, East Nashville definitely has something for everyone. Here, you'll find amazing riverfront views, an almost 1000-acre park, shopping malls, movie theaters, a golf course, and a surprisingly small-town vibe on the outskirts. Diehard shoppers will love Opry Mills, one of the biggest, busiest malls in central Tennessee, which is right across the river in Donelson. Commuting to work elsewhere in town is straightforward; I-24 runs into Nashville and there's an easy connection to I-65 and Briley Parkway as well. If you want to get out of town, just hop onto Highway 31 East.
