 On the edge of downtown, only minutes from the controlled chaos of the city, sits Germantown, Nashville’s oldest neighborhood. Rich with historical heritage and culture, its quaint, tree-lined streets and diverse architecture have provided the setting for a dramatic rebirth of a thriving residential community in recent years. Germantown’s residents are active in preserving the neighborhood’s historic culture, and come together to help shape its future. Known for its annual Oktoberfest celebration of German culture, Germantown is also home to the Nashville Jazz Workshop, neighborhood soup-a-thons and walking tours, the Actor’s Bridge Theatre, and the Cumberland River Compact. The neighborhood also boasts a growing collection of community treasures, including neighborhood restaurants like the Mad Platter, Monell’s, and the Germantown Café. Nearby Morgan Park will soon be connected to the river and downtown by the extension of the French Lick Greenway, providing tranquil recreation space in the hustle and bustle of downtown. Germantown is more than just a place to have a home—it’s a place to truly live.
