Midtown

Buzzing and Diverse Collegetown
Located Southwest of Downtown Nashville, Midtown offers a buzzing Nightlife, shows, and rock gigs. With a variety of bars and parks, there is plenty to do in this district. It is both walkable and lies near downtown making it very convenient as a living option. Midtown is home to Vanderbilt University, creating a huge student hub. It bolsters popular attractions like the Parthenon.


The crowded and diverse clubs, and laid-back bars/cafes offer a pleasant student and professional environment, as well as a vast green space.

Midtown — 8.8/10 Rating (based on 166 neighborhood reviews)
I am on the border of Midtown and Music Row so it feels very safe here, there is not tons of traffic which is nice when walking around and even driving whenever I get out in my car, and there is plenty to do with a bunch of restaurants and bars. There is even an outdoor concert every Monday at one of the bars across the street, so I can open my windows and just listen to live music when doing homework - I love it!

The immediate surrounding neighborhood is up and coming. To the Southwest Centennial park is an amazing walking area that provides a great and safe place for people and pets to get some exercise with beautiful views. To the Northeast there are some rough areas that I would not feel safe walking at night time. However, I have never felt extremely unsafe.

This apartment is kind of between Midtown/Hillsboro, which is a great location to be in! Plenty of restaurants and bars in comfortable walking distance. Closest grocery store is a small Kroger that is about a 15 minute walk, or 7 minutes with a bus ride that is free with Vanderbilt ID. This same bus can also take you south to the Green Hills area (mall, Trader Joe's, more restaurants) and north to Downtown.

West End is very convenient, with restaurants (Walgreen's, Starbucks, Panera, Chipotle) within walking distance. It's not much of a neighborhood per se-- mostly just Bristol West End off of the big road, and can get congested sometimes during traffic hours. There's definitely more student life on the other side of campus in Hillsboro Village, where some of the more hip restaurants are. However, it's safe, quiet, and about the same distance to campus as Hillsboro Village (with the added plus of the bus system).

We are a close drive to some great restaurants and bars near Vanderbilt, but a little far from downtown Nashville. This building is not within walking distance of a lot of restaurants or stores, but it is a very short drive or scooter trip!

Very close to campus, which is great for getting to class early in the morning or after a long shift in the hospital. It is also less than a three minute walk to the Vanderbilt gym. There is a grocery store approximately 5 minutes away.

This neighborhood is on the border of midtown and the up and coming west side. There have been a few car break ins nearby or on the streets below the apartment, but I have never felt unsafe.

Neighborhood is very convenient to get to both VU campus and the hospitals. Most shopping/dining/entertainment is a ~20 minute walk away. Doesn't necessarily have a "neighborhood feel."

Good area for pets, near the dog park. Close to Centennial Park for walks and outdoor time. Close to Vanderbilt, so very quick commute. Reasonably safe area.

If you are around 18th (close to the intersection of West End and Broadway), I would call that Midtown. I love the area! Lots of restaurants and bars in the area (Thai Esane, Division bars, Virgin Hotel roof, Patterson House, Tailgate brewery, hot pot, hattie B's, new Velvet Taco, Chuy's, Tin Roof). Honestly you're set for a good time out or even if you just want a drink or two for an hour before coming home to turn in. I'm paying a little more for a true 1bd-1ba, but there are some fake ones (studio with a wall but no doors) separating the living area and bedroom that go for about $1400-1500.
