Walden Open For Business in East Nashville
I got a chance to see some of the condos in the new Walden Development the other day and I was quite impressed. They advertise it as a 'true mixed-use' development and that's what makes it so cool. They are building a live/work community and already have the requisite coffeeshop, Ugly Mugs Coffee and Tea, and the Fresh Blends Smoothie and Juice Bar with more to come.
Walden is located on Eastland Avenue at Chapel Ave between the Lockeland Springs and Eastwood Neighborhoods. There is a main entrance for business patrons, but condo residents will like the more private second entrance which allows you to park a few steps from your front door on the back of the building. Even though they are on the second floor, there isn't an long flight of steps to get to your unit.
Having seen many of the condo projects around town, this one will really appeal to someone wanting to live in a pedestrian friendly neighborhood, close to restaurants like the Rosepepper or Eastland Cafe and still be only a few minutes from downtown, universities or music row.
The units themselves are high-quality with polished concrete floors, high-end quartz countertops and designer everything. It's not like some of the other condos around town that might have a great location, but the cabinets are low-grade. These are consistent from the impressive glass-tiled backsplashes to the marble topped vanities.
The prices start at $184,900 for a 712 sq. ft. 1 bedroom to the incredible corner residence above the coffeeshop with 1518 sq. ft. and 2 bedrooms for $339,900.
East Nashville has made some major progress over the past 5-10 years, but with projects like this and Martin Corner underway, it appears that things are just beginning for this growing neighborhood. March Egerton, the developer for Walden, has many more plans for the site, beginning with the adjacent building that may soon be overhauled to become home to more commercial space.
If you are looking for your place in Nashville give me a call.
