Cumberland Gardens

In May this neighborhood (as mapped by StreetAdvisor) saw some flooding on 28th Avenue North (on the western border of the area).

Cumberland Gardens is primarily residential, with some small businesses and churches scattered through the area. Most of the residences are small one-story houses. There are a few town homes in the area, and Crestview Nursing Home is up on 25th Avenue at Clarksville Pike.

Most of the houses here are rather boxy, and often any trees in the yard haven’t yet grown high enough to offer any real shade. Some of the houses need paint jobs or other repairs; others are immaculately kept up.

MTA bus route 42 runs through this area, and route 22 goes along the northern edge.
