Embracing a trendy and active lifestyle
Located in popular and quickly-growing East Nashville, the Porter Heights neighborhood has no shortage of eccentric and happening shops and bistros. With bike lanes, sidewalks and miles of paved trails next door at Shelby Park, this location attracts a modern and active community. “There are a lot of record shops and open-air eateries here, as this is a trendy area right outside of Music City,” says Chelsea O’Toole, a 10-year local and Registered Nurse at the nearby hospital.
Brunch cocktails and record stores
When it comes to dining and shopping, Porter Heights offers more obscure, quirky scenes rather than well-known spots. “There aren’t many chain restaurants or stores around here, but anything you need is just a couple miles away,” O’Toole says. “Cafe Roze draws a big crowd, as it serves breakfast food and coffee in the morning and sandwiches and cocktails in the afternoon.” She also points out, “Vinyl Tap across the street sells craft brews and different vinyl records.” Nearby is Tabla Rasa Toys, a toy store with a soft-serve ice cream station inside. And in the same complex, Cecil’s Skate Shop sells all things skateboarding, with a skate park for testing new gear outside. For more retail and grocery options, locals head to Gallatin Pike for Kroger, Aldi or Publix.

1900s bungalows next to modern revivals
In the residential areas of Porter Heights, a home maintaining its 1900s structure may neighbor a new construction. “It’s becoming a more family-oriented area, and there are a lot of new homes being built,” O’Toole says. Older ranch homes and two-story bungalows with dormer windows and 1,000 to 1,500 square feet of space, some with driveways or a basement, can be found for $400,000 to $600,000. Larger, 2,000- to 3,000-square-foot contemporary Craftsman homes, Colonial Revivals and Farmhouse Revivals with balconies and garages are in the $650,000 to $950,000 price range.

Nearby, golfers enjoy the 9-hole fairway at Vinny Links Golf Course or the 18-hole fairway at Shelby Golf Course. “Locals love rollerblading or walking their dogs along Music City Bikeway, which connects to the Cumberland Pedestrian Bridge overlooking the river,” O’Toole says. “And Percy Priest Lake is only 15 miles away.” This lake area offers trails and swimming access, as well as boat and kayak access.
The South Inglewood Park has many amenities like a playground and baseball fields.

The Airpark's Pickin Party
Nashville is home to country music, and that extends to Porter Heights. “Cornelia Fort Airpark hosts Pickin’ Party all summer long, with a stage for different musical performances,” O’Toole says.

Visitors can also enjoy different drink and food vendors, as well as family-friendly activities.
