The historic 12 South Neighborhood has quickly become one of the most popular areas in Nashville. Known for its charming coffeehouses, restaurants, and boutiques, tourists and locals frequent this area. Not only do its attractions and amenities make this neighborhood a hotspot, its’ real estate is one of a kind.
LIVE
Located south of downtown and near Belmont, blocks of primarily single-family homes are historic Victorian, Craftsman-style and even some smaller bungalows. While 12 South is one of of Nashville’s older neighborhoods, it definitely doesn’t fall short on the new and contemporary side of things. If a condo or apartment is more your style, check out the new developments – 12th and Paris or 12 South Flats.
EAT & DRINK
When it comes to dining, the opportunities are endless. If you enjoy Mexican food, Taqueria del Sol and bartaco are a must. Want a delicious slice of pizza? Mafiaoza’s Pizzeria & Neighborhood Pub is the way to go. Down the street, Burger Up offers up tasty burgers made from local beef and ingredients. Craving some BBQ? Right across the street, Edley’s Bar-B-Que serves smoked pork, chicken, turkey, brisket, ribs, wings, and much more. After lunch or dinner, cool off your taste buds with a visit to Las Paletas, an authentic Mexican popsicle shop or Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream. Need a caffeine fix? Portland Brew and Frothy Monkey are just a hop, skip and a jump away.
SHOP
Start your unique shopping adventure at MODA, an elegant boutique that features modern, original apparel and accessories. Close by is Imogene + Willie which is housed in an old gas station, and has become a local hangout for celebrities from Gwyneth Paltrow to ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons. On the same block, Reese Witherspoon’s lifestyle brand store, Draper James, offers a bright shop full of clothing and housewares. Stroll down the street to White’s Mercantile, a general store opened by Hank Williams’s granddaughter, Holly Williams.
