When you think of Nashville, the Downtown district is probably what comes to mind. Grand, historic buildings constructed after the Civil War; music venues and honky-tonk bars with flashing neon lights; and tourist attractions like the Country Music Hall of Fame, Bridgestone Arena, and the Ryman Auditorium make up much of the landscape. But there is so much more to it. There is the beautiful Cumberland River that passes right through, the greenspaces like Metro Riverfront Park and Bicentennial Capitol State Park, and the highly sought-after condos and lofts.
Local Attractions
There are also so many unique and eclectic places to see, eat, and shop that it would take years for you to visit each one of them. The Johnny Cash 
Museum is a must for fans of the Man in Black, and anyone who loves any genre of music will take a step back in time when they visit one of the local record shops. TheNashville Farmers’ Market is a huge event that started in the 1800s and is open 362 days a year. After a day of shopping and sightseeing, don’t forget to stop by Arnold’s for Nashville’s take on Southern soul food dishes like fried green tomatoes and turnip greens.
When it comes to work, several people commute to Downtown from the surrounding suburbs each day. However, if you live in Downtown and commute to another neighborhood to work, Interstates 65, 24 and 40 all surround the community making it easy to get practically anywhere in the Nashville metropolitan area. Several of the city’s top employers, such as Vanderbilt University and Medical Center are located just minutes from Downtown.
