Inglewood

Inglewood is an established East Nashville neighborhood just across the Cumberland River from downtown. It's known for mid-century ranch homes on big, tree-lined lots, the walkable Riverside Village strip, and easy access to the Shelby Bottoms greenway. It mixes historic character with a creative, laid-back Eastside feel.

As of September 2026, homes in ZIP 37216, which includes Inglewood, sold for a median of about $575,000, with an average sale price near $596,000. Homes that closed averaged about 34 days on market, and supply sat near four months. Prices run from original ranches to renovated and new-construction homes.

Much of Inglewood was built between the 1940s and 1960s, so you'll find solid brick and frame ranches, bungalows, and cottages on deep, shady lots. A steady wave of renovation and new infill means you can buy an original mid-century house to update or a move-in-ready modern build nearby.

Inglewood students are zoned to Metro Nashville Public Schools. Families also have nearby magnet and charter options across East Nashville, plus private schools. Because Metro zoning can change and magnet seats depend on the lottery, it's smart to confirm current assignments with the district before you buy.

The big draw is Shelby Bottoms Greenway and Nature Center, where paved trails follow the Cumberland River and tie into the wider Nashville greenway system. Cornelia Fort Airpark adds open green space on the east side, and Shelby Park's golf, playgrounds, and river views sit just to the south.

Riverside Village, along McGavock Pike, is the walkable heart of the neighborhood, with local coffee shops, restaurants, and small businesses. Gallatin Pike adds everyday grocery stores, hardware, and national retailers. For a bigger night out, downtown Nashville and the rest of East Nashville's dining scene are only a few minutes away.

Inglewood sits right across the river from downtown, so the trip is short. Ellington Parkway and Gallatin Pike put downtown, Nashville International Airport, and the Opryland area within about 10 to 15 minutes outside of rush hour. During morning and evening rush, give yourself a little extra time on Ellington.
