Have you ever wanted to “test drive” luxurious Nashville properties? As a participant of the Greater Nashville Apartment Association Apartment Tour, you will get to do just that! This year the theme is Right Off the Rails where we will be touring communities in The Gulch. On this tour you will get to observe and experience Gulch high-rise and mid-rise communities’ amenities and model apartment homes while taking in the history of downtown Nashville.

Due to the number of cranes in the air and construction on every corner, it is not a secret that Nashville and the surrounding communities have been booming for the past several years. With that comes amazing new communities as well as older communities that feel the need to renovate in order to keep up with new trends. The Gulch started its growth just over a decade ago, with most of the dynamic changes being made within the past five years. New construction on nearly every block of The Gulch is an indication that this neighborhood is not slowing down anytime soon. Walkability was almost non-existent in downtown Nashville; however, the placement of grocery stores like Whole Foods and Publix, coffee shops, retail stores and hotels has changed all that. This particularly appeals to out-of-towners who are relocating from metropolitan areas like Chicago and New York that provide a high level of walkability or convenient public transportation. These new residents are looking for a short commute to work and entertainment venues, via scooters, bikes, or on foot so they can avoid the hassle of owning a car.

Whether you are familiar with The Gulch or have never visited, the GNAA Apartment Tour will take you through four distinctive communities that will shed some light on how people live, work, and play downtown. We will start our day at the GNAA office at 8 a.m. to board the bus. Our first stop will be a 9 a.m. breakfast at The Grand Hyatt, which was voted the #1 new hotel in America by USA TODAY! After breakfast, the bus will then take you to Capitol View and Eleven North before enjoying lunch at one of downtown Nashville’s hot spots, The Mockingbird. After this amazing lunch, we will be touring 1200 Broadway and Infinity Lofts in The Gulch.

The GNAA Apartment tour has always been a sellout success in the past, and we are excited for this year’s tour path through a historic part of Nashville. This event would not be possible without our generous sponsors. For sponsorship opportunities, contact the GNAA today. We look forward to you joining us Right Off the Rails on Friday, August 20.
