The Area
Downtown Nashville is the city's central business and entertainment core, where residential product is almost entirely high-rise condominium and loft rather than single-family — eighteen distinct condominium buildings sit within the core. Residences are within walking distance of Broadway, the Cumberland River waterfront, Bridgestone Arena and the Nashville Yards and SoBro corridors.
Downtown is a tower market, and it prices by building rather than by street. Twelve homes closed above $2M in 37203, at a $2,716,000 median. The Four Seasons Private Residences carries the highest price per square foot of any Nashville condominium at a $1,495 median, with a $12,000,000 record closing and a penthouse currently asking $33,500,000. 505 Nashville has closed as high as $9,625,000.
