Marston Music Row Apartments

Located just south of downtown, the famous Music Row is where musicians who are trying to make it big in Nashville might choose to live. Music Row is known for its beautiful old brick buildings that now host a variety of condominiums and businesses.

What streets are Music Row on exactly? The row is actually composed of two streets: 16th Avenue South and 17th Avenue South.

A particularly appealing aspect of living near Music Row is its close proximity to Downtown, Centennial Park, and Hillsboro Village (a trendy area with shops and restaurants.) Vanderbilt University, Belmont University, and the historic Belcourt Theater— which at one time housed the Grand Ole Opry— are all within walking distance.

While Nashville continues to grow, so does Music Row and the surrounding area. There is a huge push to preserve the history and character of this area. This explosive growth has transformed neighborhoods near Music Row, like the Gulch and Midtown, the latter of which has seen a 176 percent jump in property values since 2010, according to the Tennessean. As the row is really just businesses with a few homes sprinkled in between, there are more housing opportunities in the Vanderbilt/Hillsboro Village area.
