"An area of contrasts"
I worked down on 12th Avenue South for three years. During that time, my office mate and I drove all around this area in quest of the perfect lunch. (We often found it.)
Please know that this is an area of contrasts. As you move from west to east, the leafy greenery and middle-class homes up and down Villa (behind Music Row) gradually give way to sparser shade and a lower-income area. Once you hit 8th Avenue South, you’re suddenly looking at a bare brick-and-concrete business section.
You want to know about those lunches, you say? Well. On 12th Avenue, just south of South Street, is a little mom-and-pop convenience store that serves a carryout meat-and-two each day. They have the steam tables set up behind a sneeze guard by the register, and they always offer a choice of entrees and sides. It’s real Soul Food, and it shouldn’t be missed.
Many of our other lunch spots were just outside the Edgehill area. But it says something that we were able to get to so many places and back again within our lunch hour.
Public transportation here is good. MTA’s #17, the 12th Avenue route, runs through here. The #25 connector route cuts along Edgehill, and the #8, interestingly enough, runs up and down 8th Avenue.

"Historic and Modern!"
Edgehill is a great area in which to live. The area is close to Vanderbilt University, Belmont University and the Baptist Hospital and Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital as well as the Medical Center.
If you are looking for things to do with the children on weekends, there are numerous parks that you can attend and other fine places of interest. One place of interest that a number of parents check out is the Adventure Science Museum. The admission can be pricey for a big family but the price is well worth it. At different times through out the year, the science museum offers a larger number of exhibits to view and take part in. The children will enjoy a day at the museum and will have you wanting to return again and again.
Greer Stadium is not to far away as well where you will want to catch a game of the Nashville Sounds. During the CMA music festival, the Greer Stadium is home to the celebrity softball game which features a number of country music stars such as Carrie Underwood and Josh Turner. The cost to enter Greer Stadium is not as pricey as other sporting complexes in the area.
The Edgehill area not only offers you housing with a number of homes for rent or sale but also contains newer condominiums as well as town houses. Depending on where you want to live on Edgehill will determine how noisy it will be as well as to how much space your children will have, if you do not have children and want to live in the area, there is plenty for you to do as well. There are a number of smaller boutiques nearby as well as restaurants to choose from. If you like pizza, chicken and coffee, there are a number of fine restaurants and café’s to choose from. All within walking distance from your home.

"Great area"
Not only do I live adjacent to Edgehill, but I used to work on Edgehill, so I can give a very personal view of the area.
It is a vibrant area, since it is situated close to Vanderbilt and Belmont Universities, and also next to Music Row. There is a lot of hubbub and creativity in the air.
It is also close to Greer Stadium, home of the Sounds Baseball team, Fort Negley, and the Adventure Science Museum.
It may be well known for the Snowball Throwing Polar Bears on 12th Ave., but it is also becoming known for Edgehill Villa, previous site of Whiteway Cleaners. Tenants include Whats-in-Store, Tweed Baby Outfitters, Steadfast and True Yoga, N2Skin, Just Kidding Productions, Edgehill Cafe, and Bella Napoli Pizzeria,
There are also lots of apartments, and new trendy condos in the area.
Drop by and have some fun.
