What it feels like to live in Inglewood
Inglewood is East Nashville’s quieter, more residential neighbor. It has the same mid-century brick cottages and bungalows, many of the same tree-lined streets, and a slower vibe that appeals to buyers who love the East Nashville character but want more yard, less bar noise, and a better price per square foot. Riverside Village anchors the walkable part of the neighborhood.
Location and commute
Inglewood is minutes from Briley Parkway and I-65, with downtown Nashville about 10 minutes away. BNA airport is roughly 15 minutes. For commuters, the combination of proximity and lower entry prices is one of the strongest value plays inside Davidson County.
Housing stock and price range
Inglewood’s housing stock is dominated by brick cottages, ranches, and bungalows from the 1940s-1960s, many sitting on generous lots. Entry-level homes run in the mid-to-high $400s, with renovated properties and infill new construction in the $600s and above. Compared to Five Points or Lockeland Springs, Inglewood still offers meaningful savings.
Schools
Inglewood is served by Metro Nashville Public Schools with MNPS choice access. Confirm current zones directly with the district before committing.
Parks and outdoor life
Shelby Park, Shelby Bottoms Greenway, and the Cumberland River are all within minutes. Riverside Village anchors a small but growing walkable commercial strip with coffee, restaurants, and independent shops.
