Neighborhood

The Nations

Best For: The Silo Mural

The Nations, located around five miles west of downtown, is one of Nashville’s fastest growing neighborhoods. The Nations contains a mix of old residential communities and new and trendy mixed-use developments. Many great local restaurants and places have opened here in recent years from breweries like Fat Bottom to restaurants like Frothy Monkey and Nicky’s Coal Fired among others.

Our favorite Nashville mural is located in the Nations. It’s a stunning 200 foot tall graphic by Australian artist Guido Van Helton on the side of an abandoned concrete silo on the Nations west side. The mural depicts a 93 year old long-time resident of the Nations, Lee Estes, and a young boy looking out over the neighborhood.
