Cameron Trimble has Close Proximity to Downtown Nashville
Construction sites and grand openings 2 miles south of Music City
A century ago, back when prescriptions were all handwritten and castor oil was a medicine cabinet staple in most Chestnut Hill homes, the brick building at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Chesnut Street was a pharmacy. Although the exterior — and the name “Layman Drug Company” — has remained the same, the interior has been converted into a sleek recording studio. Just a block away is St. Patrick Catholic Church, which has been holding Sunday mass since 1890, and Nashville’s ever-changing skyline stands 2 miles in the distance. “I’ve been here since ‘96. I remember when there were only a couple of buildings,” says Compass real estate agent Ron Hodges; every day, approximately 100 new residents put down roots in the Nashville Metropolitan Area. Driving through Chesnut Hill, once better known by names like Cameron Trimble and "The Bottom,” means spotting construction sites, moving trucks and signs that advertise “grand openings.” Luxury lofts and upscale restaurants sit just a few blocks away from family-owned auto body shops and tiny express marts — the landscape is constantly changing. According to local Realtor Denise Battles, living in Chesnut Hill means access to downtown amenities “without downtown prices,” a quality which continues to draw in Music City transplants.
Nashville ‘Tall and Skinnies’ beside historic homes
In Chesnut Hill, Nashville’s so-called “Tall and Skinny” homes stand next to single-story bungalows, ranches and cottages, many of which were built between the 1920s and ‘50s. Battles speaks to the diversity of the neighborhood’s architecture, noting, “It’s such a mix. The re-development and progress have transformed it. It's not brand new, but it's not even at its full potential." Older, single-family homes, many of which fall under 1,500 square feet, start in the low $300,000s and sometimes surpass $350,000 – in some cases, fully renovated historic properties can fetch upwards of $600,000. Newer builds often stand at three stories tall and can fall anywhere between $500,000 and $1 million. Rooftop decks offer views of downtown Nashville, and two-car garages in back alleyways provide plenty of room for parking. Elsewhere in the neighborhood, new townhouses and luxury lofts hover around $700,000.

A tiny stone bakery, breweries and upscale restaurants in brand-new buildings
Across from Hart Street Church of Christ and Morning Star Baptist Church, locals start their days with breakfast sandwiches at a Butter, Eggs, & Bakin, small stone bakery that looks like something out of a children’s storybook. There’s not much seating inside, and customers sit out front to eat thick slices of pie with plastic forks. Nearby, try the wood-fired pizza at Il Forno or order a box to go from Pink Door Cookies, where flavors include Blueberry Pancake and PB&J. Nashville is well on its way to becoming a destination for foodies nationwide; restaurants like Present Tense, an upscale sake bar, have set up shop in brand-new multi-purpose buildings. There are also several breweries in and around the neighborhood, including Fait La Force, known for its Belgian-style beer menu, and Jackalope Brewing (aka “The Ranch”), where Nashvillians and their dogs can sit on the patio when the weather heats up. Pick up groceries at Whole Foods on Broadway, or for a last-minute gallon of milk and a refill on gas, head to one of the convenience stores along Lafayette Street.
Butter, Eggs, & Bakin is a historic walkup restaurant in Cameron Trimble.
Fait La Force Brewing offers craft beers of all types with a deck overlooking the city.

Practice fields, paved trails and playgrounds in local parks
After school, youth soccer teams and frisbee leagues practice in the Dudley Park field, which has served as a gathering place in the Chestnut Hill area for over a century. There’s also a small playground and paved walking trail, and after matches, families can head to Gabby’s Burgers & Fries to celebrate. A mile away, find Napier Park and the Napier Community Center, which houses an indoor pool. Kids head to the small playground at Shute Minipark after school, and Fair Park is about 2 miles south of the neighborhood. It has a dog agility course and walking trails. The Nashville Fair sets up nearby every September — Music City locals look forward to lighted carnival rides, bumper cars, fried food and live music. It’s surrounded by the Fairgrounds Speedway, which hosts races and open practices on weekends throughout the spring, summer and fall.
Riverfront Park is in Very Close Proximity to Ascend Amphitheater

Live music, the Nashville Flea Market and an interactive science museum
Hodges recommends checking out the Listening Room Cafe in nearby Rutledge Hill, where some bands like to flesh out their sets before going on tour. Nearby, find 3rd & Lindsley Bar & Grill, where live shows are free on Fridays at lunchtime. Every first Saturday, galleries in the Wedgewood-Houston area open their doors for the WeHo Art Crawl, and the Nashville Flea Market takes place on the last weekend of every month; vendors under white tents sell everything from typewriters to vintage guitars. Near the Nashville Fairgrounds is Geodis Park, a 30,000-seat soccer stadium and event venue that first opened in 2022 — on game days, traffic can get heavy down Nolensville Pike. Rainy weekends mean trips to the science museum in Fort Negley Park, and interactive exhibits offer lessons in outer space, the human body and robotics.
Ascend Amphitheater is One of the Premiere Performance Venues in Nashville.

Volunteer opportunities at local nonprofits and free haircuts at the library
Thousands of pounds of recycled materials — everything from old Christmas lights to mason jars — are dropped off at Turnip Green Creative Reuse each year. Locals can also enroll in studio or private arts and crafts classes, and the nonprofit has become a popular destination for school field trips. “In order to be accessible to all, we have created a ‘pay what you can’ pricing model for all of our shoppable donated materials,” says Calloway Bailey, Creative Reuse Center Manager. Some community members also volunteer at the Safe Haven Family Shelter, which helps those in need find permanent housing solutions in Nashville. There are free haircuts on Thursday afternoons at the Pruitt Branch of the city’s public library, and game night is every Friday.
The CAP Score in Chesnut Hill is 10 out of 10. Residents know to be on the lookout for package theft, scheduling delivery times in advance or shipping to their offices rather than front porches. The area also ranks well above the national average when it comes to violent crimes, especially surrounding its more industrial areas, and neighbors post regularly on the Nextoor App. Both online and thanks to organizations like Safe Haven and Turnip Green, there’s a strong sense of community in Chestnut Hill. “[Our] programming hopes to create those opportunities for all community members to be inspired in a safe and welcoming space,” notes Bailey.
There is a large selections of books and recycled art supplies at The Turnip Green.
Napier Recreation Center was named after African American James Napier of Nashville.

Academies offer pathways in hospitality, technology and business at Glencliff High School
Students living to the west of Lafayette Street can enroll in John B. Whitsitt Elementary School, which earned a C-minus from the educational review site, Niche, before starting fifth grade at LEAD Cameron, a college preparatory school that also has a C-minus grade. Last stop is the C-minus-rated Glencliff High School, where the Academy of Health and Hospitality partners with Nashville State Community College to offer dual credit. There’s also the Academy of Architecture, Automotive and Technology as well as an Academy of Business and Innovation. About 2 miles outside the neighborhood, private school options include the prestigious University School of Nashville, which earned an A-plus grade. And Trevecca Nazarene University, a private Christian college with close to 2,000 students, borders the neighborhood to the east.
Cameron College Prep enrolls over 600 students every year in Nashville.
Glencliff High School has around 1,100 students enrolling every year in Nashville.
John B Whitsitt Elementary School has around 400 students enrolling every year.

Commutes via WeGo public bus, bike or car
Railroad tracks intersect the southern portion of the neighborhood, and traffic tends to back up along 2nd Avenue when trains pass through. Although WeGo bus 55 stops in Chestnut Hill on the way into downtown Nashville, most residents rely on their own cars or bikes to travel between neighborhoods. "People bike over to Wedgewood-Houston or downtown all the time. It really is accessible to the liveliest areas," notes Battles. The Nashville International Airport is less than 6 miles — about 12 minutes — from Chestnut Hill along Interstate 40, offering direct flights to nearly 100 unique destinations. And residents can seek medical care at large-scale facilities like Ascension St. Thomas Midtown and TriStar Centennial Medical Center.
