THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Located in Davidson County, Sylvan Park, Sylvan Heights, and Charlotte Avenue all border one another and many locals see the lines between the neighborhoods as blurred.
Generally, this area is bordered by Charlotte Avenue, goes south down Richland Creek and cuts back north to reach the Interstate 440 barrier.

Many outdoor loving city-dwellers call the area home due to an amazing golf course and greenway system. This area is also known for being an avid supporter of local businesses, which is evident as some of the oldest restaurants in Nashville can be found in this area.

lets connect

Sylvan Park

Located in Davidson County, Sylvan Park offers a “best of both worlds” Nashville experience: close to the city, but rooted in a calm, residential rhythm. The neighborhood developed early (originally founded in 1887 as New Town) and later became closely associated with Nashville’s streetcar growth—one reason the area still feels cohesive and easy to navigate today.
Sylvan Park Neighborhood Association

Outdoor access is a major differentiator here. The Richland Creek Greenway at McCabe Park provides a popular paved loop and neighborhood connections, while McCabe’s golf facilities add another layer of recreational convenience. With schools, parks, and everyday essentials nearby, Sylvan Park consistently attracts buyers who value walkability, character, and a location that stays connected to the rest of Nashville.
