Libraries, dining halls and college greens 10 minutes from Downtown
Brick lecture halls, campus greens and multi-story libraries anchor Tomorrow's Hope, sometimes called the "TSU Area" after Tennessee State University, the historically black institution at its center. Founded in 1912, the college is now home to over 7,600 undergraduates. Students come together to cheer on the Tigers at the Gentry Center and head to the TSU box office to pick up tickets for dance recitals and musicals. Nearby restaurants advertise authentic Caribbean flavors, and directly south of campus, Hadley Park hosts an African Street Festival in September. It's equal parts college campus and growing suburb; 1920s-era Bungalows contrast with loft apartments and vinyl-sided homes. "[Tomorrow's Hope is] kind of an in-between area, and it's definitely transitioning," says Griffin Jamerson, a Nashville native and Realtor with PARKS. "10 or 15 years ago, there wasn't a demand for areas like TSU to develop, and then Nashville's popularity exploded. So now areas like this are catching up." As some Nashvilleans joke, the new state bird is a construction crane.
New developments and mid-century homes to the west of campus
Most of the housing in Tomorrow's Hope lies to the west of TSU's campus. When it comes to single-family homes, prospective buyers will find a mix of ranch-styles, cottages and bungalows hovering between $250,000 for investment properties dating between the 1950s and '80s to upwards of $700,000 for fully-renovated homes. "I've been selling a lot of short-term rentals over there because of the zoning," Jamerson says, adding, "There is new construction happening, and developers are looking at lots to see how it can change." Multi-story single-families and townhouses in nearby growing communities like The Nations fall between $600,000 and $800,000, and one-bedroom units in luxury lofts can sell for upwards of $350,000.
Homeowners keep their properties sharp and clean in Tomorrow's Hope.

Cultural festivals, game days at 'The Hole' and experimental theater
September marks the African Street Festival in Hadley-Lillard Park, a multi-day free event where visitors can look forward to live gospel, dance exhibitions and vendors from around the city selling everything from beaded jewelry to colorful textiles. In April, the smell of barbeque fills the park during the Nashville Black Market Food Festival; although still in its infancy, the food fest has already become a beloved tradition in Music City. In Tomorrow's Hope, game days mean tailgating at TSU's Hale Stadium (known affectionately as "The Hole") or counting down the shot clock at the Gentry Center. There's also the tiny Barbershop Theater on Indiana Avenue, where resident companies put on small-scale musicals and experimental plays.
Students attending TSU in Tomorrow's Hope can visit Hale Stadium for football games.

Local drafts, hot dog stands and retail along Charlotte Pike
Just outside the neighborhood's boundaries there's Fat Bottom Brewing CO., where house-made pours include the Nitro Stout, known for its creamy, coffee-like flavor. Finish off a glass alongside a plate of loaded chicken nachos and a smash burger, or drive along Centennial Boulevard to reach Daddy's Dogs' bright yellow flagship location in The Nations. Here, hot dogs come with add-ons like mac and cheese, street corn and even cream cheese… a polarizing topping amongst locals. To the east is a Hadley Park staple called Swett's. "It's been there forever. Since the '50s," says Becca Cunningham, who works as an Area Sales Manager with Red Seal Realty. "It's historic – the type of place where Politicians go for lunch and shake hands." She also recommends Kingdom Café & Grill on Jefferson Street, where menu items include fried fish and sweet tea. Recent years have also seen quite a few changes along Charlotte Pike, a major thoroughfare to the south. Upscale vendors sit inside L&L Market, a renovated hosiery mill. Big-box grocery options include Kroger, K&S World Market and Aldi.

Audio and visual production at Pearl Cohn High and Division I athletics at TSU
Non-college-aged students living in Tomorrow's Hope can attend public schools like Cockrill Elementary, which earned a C on the educational review site, Niche, before moving on to Mckissack Middle and Pearl Cohn Magnet High, both of which received C-minus grades. At Pearl Cohn, entertainment-specific pathways include audio and visual production, and interested students can seek dual enrollment opportunities at NOSSI College of Art. Tennessee State University is made up of nine separate colleges, including a school of engineering and liberal arts. According to Jeff Brown, owner of Black Lion Realty, Division I football and basketball teams remain a primary draw.
Pearl-Cohn Magnet High School enrolls over 600 students every year in Nashville.
Otis L. Floyd was the president of TSU from 1986 to 1990.

City greenways and family reunions in local parks
Bisecting Boyd Park is the Boyd Park Greenway, a paved trail system popular amongst bicyclists, joggers and dog walkers. Inside the Hadley Park Community Center find a swimming pool, fitness equipment and a wall honoring writer and abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who — as legend has it — gave a speech on park grounds in 1873. Outdoor amenities in Hadley-Lillard Park include walking trails, baseball fields and picnic pavilions popular for family reunions. "On Saturdays, you'll drive around and see a family all wearing the same t-shirt," says Brown. There's always Centennial Park, famous for its to-scale replica of the Athenian Parthenon, about 3 miles southwest along the Charlotte Pike.
Locals living around The Tomorrow's Hope area can exercise on Boyd Park's running path.
Frederick Douglas famously spoke at Hadley Park.

Nashville International Airport and WeGo public transit downtown
"It's quick to get into North Nashville and downtown, so that's a big appeal for people over there," says Jamerson, pointing to the neighborhood's relative accessibility. The city's international airport is a 15-minute drive along Interstate 440, and attractions like the Musicians Hall of Fame and the Nashville Farmers' Market are about 4 miles away via Dr. Wallace South Davis Boulevard and Jefferson Street. Most residents rely on their own vehicles, but WeGo Public Transit — specifically the 19 Herman route — also provides passage downtown, stopping by Nashville General Hospital and Fisk University along the way.
