Nashville Abode is a guide for people buying a home in Nashville and Davidson County. It walks through eight neighborhoods, from East Nashville and Germantown close to downtown to Green Hills, Donelson, Antioch and Madison further out, and through the things every buyer runs into: the property tax bill, historic overlays, flood risk and short-term rental rules.
Every guide is built from official sources: the Assessor of Property, the Metro Trustee, Metro Codes, Metro Water Services, the Metropolitan Historical Commission, Metro Planning’s community plans, Metro Parks, Tennessee State Parks and the National Weather Service. We do not sell homes, recommend agents or name businesses.
Rates and rules change. Before you buy, check the numbers with the Metro office named in each guide, and talk to a licensed agent, home inspector or attorney about the specific house.
