Welcome to the Neighborhood!
Salemtown is a Nashville neighborhood
just north of Germantown.
Salemtown is a lively residential neighborhood of over 500 homes located 1.5 miles north of Broadway in downtown Nashville. On a Saturday morning, you may find our residents running with their dogs, strolling with their children to grab a coffee, or walking to area restaurants to grab a bite to eat. We are a front-porch neighborhood that wants to restore the idea of community.
Sloping uphill from Germantown, Salemtown is bounded by Rosa Parks Boulevard, Hume Street, and 3rd Avenue North. Its many advantages include highly walkable proximity to Downtown Nashville, as well as quick access to Metro Center, the freeway crossings, the Farmers Market, the greenway, and many restaurants and amenities.
The name "Salem" means "peaceful and complete" in both Hebrew and Arabic, and so is often associated with churches. The cornerstone of Salemtown's Salem A.M.E. Church was laid in 1867, and the Methodist Church helped settle the area when settlement house workers moved here to support workers for nearby Werthan Mills. Salemtown is proud of its history, particularly the role of the Fehr School in Nashville's civil rights movement. The nearby Morgan Park Community Center is one of several other official historic sites in the area.
Founded in 2005, SNNA has enjoyed great success in addressing safety issues and starting streetscape improvements. This new year we will take things to the next level, as newcomers join with long-time residents to further demonstrate our pride of place. Most of us will tell you that the best of Salemtown is its people, and the synergy that comes from good will and good times together. Come join us!
