People & Lifestyle

Midtown was once considered a business district, but the entrance of several high-end high-rises has brought new life to the area. While the neighborhood still gives off a relaxed college-town vibe, young professionals have been flocking to Midtown. The lively bar scene and location near Downtown businesses make it a great option for young homeowners looking to buy a home near the hustle and bustle of the city but away from the tourist-filled spots in Downtown Nashville.
