"Looks so nice and quiet"
I’ve seen too much TV.
I’ve lived in Nashville for over a decade, but when I think of recording studios, one of two pictures still comes to mind. The first image is of great big multistory corporate buildings with sound studios on some floors and lavish offices on others. The other features run-down warehouses with sound studios and hole-in-the-wall offices.
Nashville’s Music Row puts the lie to these stereotypes.
The two one-way streets that make up Music Row, 16th and 17th Avenues, do manage to sport two or three large “office-y” type buildings. But most of the Row is a series of gorgeous older brick or wood homes that have been converted to business use, interspersed with old brick or wood homes that are still zoned residential.
And the trees! Forget the spindly saplings that pass for greenery in other neighborhoods; Music Row is truly shaded. The trees, the buildings, and the one-way streets all combine to create an illusion of small-town peace and quiet on parts of the Row. You have to read the signs in front of those businesses carefully—every other one has “studio” in the name—to know that you’re looking at the heart of the Nashville music industry.
The shaded area on the StreetAdvisor map also includes Music Square and parts of Division. The Pie Wagon restaurant, a meat-and-three on Division, is one of the best lunch spots in Nashville.
City bus route #2 serves Music Row. The connector route #25 also goes through the area.

"A Great Choice For New Residents and College Students!"
Located near right downtown, Music Row is where a number of musicians who are trying to make it big in Nashville will live. With numerous condo buildings and businesses along Music Row, the area is nice. Located not to far away from the Vanderbilt University and Baptist Hospital, the area is more affordable than what you might think.
Many individuals who want to work in Nashville will choose the area to work in as well as living in. Not to far away from the I40 interstate, there are a number of large businesses in the area. Many of the local radio stations are housed here as well as other businesses.
The local's will travel this area quite often when traveling around downtown Nashville as a route to take to and from work in the morning and afternoons. The local big car dealer is not to far from Music Row and the bus travels to and from a number of times each day which allows you to park and ride to work each day.

"Music Row--a totally unique place"
I have lived one street off Music Row for more than 15 years, and I can't recommend it enough. Music Row is actually two streets--16th Ave. South and 17th Ave. South. There are some individual homes and apartments sprinkled among the buildings housing the recording giants--Arista, RCA, BNA, Curb, etc.--but Music Row is primarily an area iin which to work.Hillsboo Village, a trendy area with shops and restaurants, is just a few blocks away, and Vanderbilt and Belmont Universities, on either side of the Row, add an intellectual element to this area.
There are a ton of restaurants within walking distance, including Sunset Grill, which has one of the most desirable wine lists around. Other favorite spots are Cabana, Bosco's, Pancake Pantry, Fido's coffee shop, International Market, PM and Cha Chah. (For those who watch the show Top Chef, one of this season's contestants was Arnold Myint from Cha Chah.)
The historic Belcourt Theater, which at one time housed the Grand Ole Opry is also within walking distance and offers foreign, independent, and classic films, as well as live musical performances , theatrical performances, and film festivals.
The Music Row area is close to downtown, Centennial Park, and one of Nashville's dog parks. There are more housing opportunities in the Vanderbilt/Hillsboro Village area, which is literally just steps away.
One of the most fun events is the Country Music Marathan, held in April, which runs both ways down Music Row. Live music is provided at many corners, including two in the area.
