What it feels like to live in Lockeland Springs
Lockeland Springs is the sub-neighborhood within East Nashville that commands the highest premiums — and for good reason. The streets are tree-lined and walkable, the Victorian and Craftsman architecture is beautifully preserved, and the commercial strip along Woodland Street (Lockeland Table, Margot Cafe) creates genuine neighborhood dining. Lockeland Design Center Elementary is one of the most sought-after public elementary schools in Nashville.
