Germantown’s proximity to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park makes it very desirable. Germantown is one of the oldest areas in Nashville with a wide range of architectural designs. Germantown is also known for its wide range of “sidewalk greenery” with more than 100 different tree species lining the streets and front yards. Notable aspects of Germantown include brick sidewalks, ample street parking, and many of the best restaurants in Nashville. Living options include individual houses, townhouses, duplexes, and low-rise apartments. Bolstered by an active and enthusiastic Historic Germantown neighborhood association, this historic area offers the comforts and atmosphere of a walkable small row without sacrificing the convenience of living within close proximity to the hustle and bustle of Nashville’s denser downtown districts.
