What’s Around?

Choosing the home that’s right for you is no easy feat. Though every person searching the market might have a vision of what their dream home looks like in their heads, few spaces come to the consumer that sync up perfectly with their expectations. Some might think of it as settling on the options available, but in reality, there are homes that possess better features than what might have been concocted when one’s flipping through magazine ads or scrolling through the internet to find the ideal abode.

A person wanting to finalize a home choice has to do a lot of preparation work in finding which home option might be the best fit. Things like the look of the home, the individual layout of each room, and the price are all items that frequently make the list of things we hear buyers discussing.

One friendly reminder we constantly offer buyers is to look at the area as a whole. Instead of thinking of the microcosm of the home space, think about how the surrounding properties will affect your time at the home space. Asking questions like “What will traffic look like from the work-to-home commute?” or “How will neighboring educational institutions better my experience in the area?”.


Proximity to Downtown Nashville

The real benefit of living in Nashville proper is being able to get in a vehicle and get to a downtown destination with minutes. Those on a schedule cannot afford to lose time clogged in the thoroughfares of Middle Tennessee traffic, which local outlets like Fox 17 share to be “one of the worst-congested cities in the U.S.”

Picking a place to live means picking a home that’s accessible. For 730 Blvd West, our residents have the comfort of living within 15 minutes of downtown Nashville, depending on traffic. This puts them in an ideal spot to get to many destinations, including the abundance of entertainment and dining options the Nashville area has.

As you look for places to live, plan your commute with resources like Waze and Google, and look at the ride home at different times of day. Factor in how you’re going to plan your day as a whole, and ponder any stops you might have to make on the way. You’ll want to plan accordingly, or else, you may face delays so bad that you may consider quitting your job.


What Are Your Needs From The Area?

People buying a home need to know what the neighborhood can do for them. What characteristics does the community have that make it a better place than those with other home options?

Schools are a major consideration for many Americans, according to The Washington Post. The quality of a school can literally determine the vitality of an area, as incoming and future parents are thinking about the long-term educational opportunities found within a neighborhood. 730 Blvd West is located near both public option Gower Elementary School (which Zillow users rated an average of 4 out of 5 stars) and private school National International Academy (to which Zillow users gave a comparable rating).

For users, another item to note would be the availability of entertainment options in the surrounding area. 730 Blvd West is just a few minutes away from the Belle Meade Plantation, the Cheekwood Estates and Gardens, and Percy Warner Park. Within a reasonable drive, attractions like the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere, Radnor Lake State Park, and The Parthenon can make for a quick getaway to other areas. Chaffin’s Barn Theatre or more informal options like go-karting and golf are in the immediate vicinity. The Mall at Green Hills, located in the illustrious Green Hills area, is estimated to be 20 minutes away, and options to visit other areas would take an optimal amount of time. The legendary Loveless Cafe and local favorite TailGate Brewery are also on-hand for quick dining options, and the closeness to downtown guarantees a selection of great places to get food.

Prime Location to Grow With Nashville

Of course, one has to look at the housing development itself when looking for a new home. The areas of Westchase Condos,  Oakhaven, and Cedar Crest are experiencing tremendous growth, as is Nashville itself per the Metro Planning Organization. Separately, in their projection of “What Will Nashville Look Like in 2025?”, LawnStarter offered that “Projections show the population of Nashville and the entire 14-county metro area is set to soar 38 percent from 2010 to 2025. Ten years from now, the population of the region is expected to exceed 2.4 million. Today, the metro population is around 1.8 million.” This means that as more people relocate to the area, the demand for homes will increase. So too, will the competition to get a quality home in a neighborhood that suits the needs of incoming residents.

730 Blvd West offers an adjacency to the offerings of both downtown Nashville and the surrounding areas, with a convenience to get to areas like Franklin, Bellevue, Berry Hill, Brentwood, and other major destinations. Being a member of the 730 Blvd West community means being a part of the action, and a neighbor to these areas whose growth and opportunity are changing a landscape. Those wanting to be part of these communities should find time to chat with a member of our team, and should really think about making 730 Blvd West their new address.
