Germantown was Nashville’s first residential subdivision and it borders the northern edge of downtown. While the 1950s saw much of Germantown give way to industrial zoning and warehouses, Germantown experienced a rebirth in the 1970s and significant redevelopment starting in the late 1990s. Today, Germantown features residential options ranging from early 1900s victorian homes to new loft-condos and townhomes. The historic neighborhood is adjacent to Nashville’s Farmers Market and is home to several of Nashville’s most popular restaurants including Germantown Cafe, Monell’s, and City House.
