#1 of the 37204 Series: The 37204 zip code in Nashville, Tennessee encompasses the areas known as 12South, Belmont, Waverly, Breeze Hill, Melrose, Berry Hill, Green Hills, Lipscomb, Rains Waycross, Fairgrounds, Southmeade, Sunnyside and Marengo Park.
Opening note to those reading this, if you’re a Green Hills resident in 37215, this area is one of the most confusing areas and with many neighborhoods misnamed. Many Marengo Park and Lipscomb residents refer to their area as Green Hills, however the 37215 residents on the other side of Granny White Pike always seem to debate the point. Another often misnamed area is Southmeade. Many refer to the area as Oak Hill, it’s southern bordering neighborhood. 12South is honestly one of the most confusing places because of the multiple neighborhood associations in that area, including Sunnyside.
For this report’s purposes, we’ll be sticking to the names and borders that I lay out after years of showing and selling homes and talking to neighbors. You can click on the neighborhood graphic to see the bigger version of the map.

As a whole the average, 37204 saw 148 single family home closings in 2009. Remember, this is a condo-generous area, and this post is only about single family homes.
The average sales price for the entire zip code was $311,402 which is well above the Nashville area median home sale price. The majority of this area lies within Area 2 of the MLS, however one neighborhood and half of another lie in Area 1 on the other side of Interstate 65, the dividing boundary.
While Rains Waycross has several homes in the neighborhood, zero of them sold in 2009. In fact, none of them were placed on the market. Point, if you want to live in this affordable neighborhood in the midst of everything, you have to jump pretty quickly due to the limited stock on the market. This area is also known as the Fairgrounds area. With the fairgrounds pending state of the unknown, this is likely why everyone is sitting tight. It could turn out to be the oil find of 2011-2015.
Berry Hill, with exception of condos, only had two closings in its neighborhood. Why? Most of the area has gone completely commercial. The cutesy-pootsy homes along Bransford, Iris, Columbine, Dogwood, et.al are now trendy, neighborhood shops like hair salons, dog treat gourmet bakeries and my personal favorite, The Cat Shoppe. The single family homes that did close were located in the northernmost part of Berry Hill.
