New Edition Community Apartments for Rent

The New Edition Community of Nashville is a neighborhood with a hometown feel. The neighborhood has ranch houses built from the 1950 to 1989. Contemporary, split-level homes built after the 1990s are also part of the established neighborhood.

The neighborhood was built for families, and is only a 15-minute drive to the attractions of Nashville. The schools near the neighborhood are part of the Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. The New Edition Community is also an ideal place for outdoor enthusiasts since the neighborhood is close to parks and state parks in and around Nashville. Lower housing prices, access to schools and parks and a short commute by personal automobile to Nashville are some of the reasons why the New Edition Community draws singles and families.
