At a Glance
- Lockeland Springs is a historic East Nashville neighborhood located approximately two miles northeast of downtown Nashville and developed largely as a late-19th and early-20th-century streetcar suburb.
- The neighborhood is known for Victorian, Craftsman, Queen Anne, Classical Revival, bungalow, and English Cottage architecture along mature tree-lined streets.
- Lockeland Springs combines residential character with access to Five Points, Shelby Park, Shelby Golf Course, restaurants, coffee shops, and other East Nashville amenities.
- The neighborhood’s median home sale price was approximately $802,221 for the three months ending June 2026, while individual renovated and new luxury properties can occupy a substantially higher segment of the market.
- 1910 Holly Street is a new $2.6 million TímōSIX residence offering 5 bedrooms, 7 baths, approximately 4,261 square feet, a detached two-car garage and DADU, and high-end construction and finishes.
There are neighborhoods where developers build the houses first and hope a sense of place eventually follows.
Lockeland Springs is the opposite.
The streets, trees, porches, architecture, neighborhood traditions, restaurants, parks, and sense of community have been developing here for more than a century. Today, something new is happening on top of that foundation: Lockeland Springs is increasingly becoming a legitimate luxury residential market within East Nashville.
That is what makes this neighborhood so interesting to me as a real estate professional.
And it is exactly why I am so excited about the new home we are bringing to market at 1910 Holly Street.
This is not simply a luxury house that happens to be located in East Nashville. I think 1910 Holly represents where the Lockeland Springs market is going.
It combines the scale, construction quality, finishes, flexibility, and amenities sophisticated luxury buyers expect today with something that cannot be recreated inside a new subdivision: an authentic Nashville neighborhood that has been evolving since the streetcar era.
Why I Believe Lockeland Springs Is Becoming a Major Nashville Luxury Neighborhood
For years, Nashville luxury real estate was largely associated with neighborhoods west and south of downtown.
Belle Meade. Green Hills. Forest Hills. Oak Hill. Brentwood.
Those are still exceptional markets, and I work extensively in many of them.
But luxury buyers are changing.
Increasingly, buyers want more than a large house in an expensive ZIP code. They want experience, character, restaurants, outdoor recreation, neighborhood identity, and connection to the city.
That change creates an enormous opportunity for neighborhoods like Lockeland Springs.
The Neighborhood Already Has What Money Cannot Easily Build
The first thing I tell people about Lockeland Springs is that you cannot manufacture what already exists here.
The Lockeland Springs Neighborhood Association describes the neighborhood as a turn-of-the-century streetcar suburb approximately two miles northeast of downtown Nashville. Its development accelerated after the Woodland Street Bridge opened in 1886 and electric streetcars began connecting East Nashville with downtown around 1890.
That history is still visible.
The streets feature Victorians, Craftsman homes, porches, old-growth trees, and architecture accumulated over generations rather than installed during one development cycle.
For a luxury buyer, that authenticity increasingly matters.
You can build another beautiful house.
You cannot quickly build another 100-plus-year-old neighborhood around it.
Architectural Character Is Part of Lockeland Springs’ Value
A portion of the Lockeland Springs-East End area was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, recognizing its significance as an intact late-19th and early-20th-century streetcar suburb. Historic architectural styles in the area include Queen Anne, Classical Revival, bungalow, English Cottage, Eastlake, and other period designs.
That architecture gives Lockeland Springs visual depth.
One block can contain an original historic residence, a carefully renovated Craftsman, and a sophisticated new home influenced by the architecture around it.
For me, that is exactly how an established neighborhood should evolve.
The strongest new construction should not erase the neighborhood. It should raise the quality of housing while still feeling like it belongs there.
That philosophy is central to 1910 Holly Street.
Luxury Buyers Want Walkability Without Giving Up the House
This is one of the most important trends I see in Nashville’s higher-end market.
A buyer may love the convenience of the Gulch or a downtown high-rise, but still want:
- A real front door
- A yard
- Private outdoor space
- A two-car garage
- A home office
- Guest accommodations
- Multiple entertaining spaces
- Room for family
- A neighborhood rather than a building
Lockeland Springs provides an increasingly compelling answer.
Five Points and East Nashville Are Part of the Lifestyle
The Lockeland Springs Neighborhood Association specifically notes the neighborhood’s walkability and proximity to Five Points.
That puts residents close to the restaurants, coffee shops, neighborhood businesses, and entertainment that have helped make East Nashville one of Nashville’s most recognizable lifestyle districts.
Instead of choosing between an urban lifestyle and a detached luxury home, the right Lockeland Springs property can provide both.
That distinction matters.
Shelby Park Is an Extraordinary Neighborhood Amenity
Another major advantage is access to Shelby Park and the broader green space surrounding it.
At 1910 Holly, that relationship is especially tangible. The home is just steps from Shelby Golf Course and minutes from Shelby Park, Five Points, restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment.
That gives a future owner something I think luxury buyers increasingly value: the ability to actually use the neighborhood around their home.
You can leave the house to walk, run, play golf, meet someone for coffee, have dinner, or spend time in the park.
Luxury becomes less about isolation and more about access plus privacy.
A Real Community, Not Just a Collection of Expensive Homes
There is another part of Lockeland Springs that I think gets overlooked in traditional real estate descriptions.
People here actually participate in their neighborhood.
The Lockeland Springs Neighborhood Association traces its community involvement back more than a century and today organizes events and initiatives including the Home & Garden Tour, neighborhood tree planting, cleanups, holiday events, trolley tours, and other community programs.
That is difficult to quantify on an appraisal.
But it is easy to understand when you live somewhere.
There is a difference between having neighbors and having a neighborhood.
Lockeland Springs has the latter.
What Is Happening to Lockeland Springs Real Estate?
I would characterize Lockeland Springs today as an established neighborhood moving further into the luxury market, rather than an emerging neighborhood waiting to be discovered.
That distinction is important.
According to Redfin’s calculations, the median sale price across all home types in Lockeland Springs was approximately $802,221 for the three months ending June 2026, with homes selling in a median 32 days.
But medians do not tell the entire story.
Luxury real estate is always a submarket within the broader market.
As larger renovations, architecturally thoughtful new construction, and higher-quality custom homes enter Lockeland Springs, the ceiling of the neighborhood is being tested at an entirely different level.
1910 Holly Street is part of that evolution.
Introducing 1910 Holly Street
This is where the neighborhood story and the property story come together.
1910 Holly Street is currently coming soon at $2,600,000.
The newly constructed residence offers approximately 4,261 square feet, five bedrooms, seven baths, a detached two-car garage, and a true detached accessory dwelling unit above the garage.
It is being built by TímōSIX, a luxury builder whose work I know extremely well.
But the numbers only tell part of the story.
What I think makes this property exceptional is the way it delivers modern luxury while still making sense for Holly Street and Lockeland Springs.

A Home Designed Around How People Actually Live
I spend a tremendous amount of time looking at new construction.
One of the biggest differences between average new construction and great new construction is whether the floor plan was designed around a buyer’s actual life rather than simply maximizing square footage.
1910 Holly was designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
The main residence includes spacious living areas, a dedicated home office, a wet bar, and a carefully planned kitchen and scullery arrangement.
That flexibility matters because luxury homeowners now expect their homes to perform multiple jobs well.
They need to work.
They need to entertain.
They need privacy.
They need space for family and guests.
And increasingly, they need a home that can adapt as their lives change.
The Kitchen Is Built as the Center of the Home
The kitchen at 1910 Holly reflects the level of detail we wanted throughout the property.
It includes:
- Custom Amish-built solid wood cabinetry
- Leathered quartzite countertops
- A premium panelized Thermador appliance package
- A separate scullery for prep and additional storage
These are not simply decorative upgrades.
The scullery, in particular, changes how the house functions when entertaining because prep, storage, and cleanup can happen outside the primary kitchen space.
That is the kind of design feature I increasingly see sophisticated luxury buyers prioritize.
A Primary Suite Designed Like a Retreat
The primary suite continues that same philosophy.
Its spa-inspired bath includes a freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, and a custom closet with integrated LED lighting and its own washer and dryer hookups.
These details matter because luxury is often less about one dramatic feature and more about eliminating friction from everyday life.
A truly well-designed home should be beautiful, but it should also make living in it easier.
The DADU May Be One of the Most Valuable Features of the Property
One of my favorite elements of 1910 Holly is the true detached accessory dwelling unit above the oversized two-car garage.
That separate space creates extraordinary flexibility.
It can function as:
- Guest accommodations
- Multigenerational living
- A private home office
- Creative or studio space
- Separate accommodations for an older child
- Potential income-producing space, subject to applicable regulations and permitting
For many luxury buyers, flexibility is becoming almost as important as square footage.
A detached space gives an owner options without compromising privacy inside the main residence.
And it is particularly well suited to the Lockeland Springs lifestyle, where buyers want urban convenience but still need a home capable of adapting to multiple stages of life.
The Construction Behind the Walls Matters
Luxury should not stop at the surfaces buyers can see during a showing.
1910 Holly includes significant construction upgrades designed around comfort, durability, efficiency, and sound control.
According to the listing specifications, construction includes:
- 2×6 exterior walls
- Full spray foam insulation
- Encapsulated crawlspace
- Rockwool sound insulation
- High-efficiency HVAC with fresh-air supply
- Recirculating tankless water heater
- Whole-home audio prewiring
- EV-ready garage
This is one of the areas where my development and new-construction background influences how I evaluate a home.
Beautiful finishes are important.
But sophisticated buyers should also understand how the house was constructed.
The Finish Level Matches the Architecture
The visible materials are equally intentional.
The home incorporates:
- Solid white oak flooring
- Custom millwork
- Emtek hardware
- Designer lighting
- Designer plumbing fixtures
- Natural gas fireplace
- Pella windows and doors
- Brick and Hardie exterior materials
- Pine tongue-and-groove porch ceilings
The objective was not to create something trendy that looks dated five years from now.
The objective was timeless luxury appropriate for one of Nashville’s most architecturally distinctive neighborhoods.
Why 1910 Holly Fits Lockeland Springs So Well
To me, 1910 Holly represents the next chapter of Lockeland Springs rather than a departure from it.
The neighborhood’s historic houses were often exceptional homes for their era.
They featured strong architecture, craftsmanship, porches, thoughtful proportions, and a relationship to the street.
The best new construction should pursue the same principles using today’s materials, floor plans, technology, and expectations.
That is what we wanted here.
It gives a buyer the convenience and performance of a brand-new luxury home while placing them inside a neighborhood that already has history, mature trees, sidewalks, restaurants, parks, recreation, and community.
That combination is extremely difficult to reproduce.
Why I Think Lockeland Springs Has More Luxury Upside
This is my analysis as a real estate professional, not a prediction that every property will appreciate.
I think the luxury side of Lockeland Springs has room to mature because the neighborhood possesses many of the characteristics high-end buyers repeatedly tell me they want:
- Close proximity to downtown Nashville
- Established architectural character
- Walkability
- Strong neighborhood identity
- Restaurants and coffee nearby
- Parks and recreation
- Mature landscaping
- Detached single-family living
- Increasingly sophisticated new construction
- Limited opportunities to create comparable established neighborhoods
The underlying neighborhood is already there.
The luxury housing stock is catching up.
That is why I think Lockeland Springs should increasingly be part of the conversation when a buyer is comparing Nashville’s best urban luxury neighborhoods.
Who Is 1910 Holly Street For?
One of the reasons I find this property particularly compelling is that it does not have only one obvious buyer.
I can see it working exceptionally well for:
- An executive relocating to Nashville
- A family wanting space while remaining in the urban core
- A buyer moving out of a downtown condominium
- A professional who needs a substantial home office
- A buyer with frequent guests
- Someone needing multigenerational flexibility
- A luxury buyer who values architecture and construction quality
- Someone who wants the East Nashville lifestyle but does not want to compromise on the quality of the home
That breadth matters.
Great luxury real estate usually works because it solves multiple lifestyle needs simultaneously.

My Perspective on Lockeland Springs and 1910 Holly
After years of working throughout Nashville’s luxury market, I have learned that the strongest locations usually possess qualities that cannot easily be replicated.
You can renovate a kitchen.
You can build a larger house.
You can add a pool.
What you cannot manufacture overnight is a century of neighborhood history, mature trees, architectural character, walkability, parks, local businesses, proximity to downtown, and an established sense of community.
That is what makes Lockeland Springs interesting to me.
And that is why I believe 1910 Holly Street is such an important property for this neighborhood.
It does not ask a buyer to choose between East Nashville lifestyle and true luxury construction.
It delivers both.
