Located about four miles southwest of Downtown Nashville, Sylvan Park is a scenic neighborhood brimming with historic character. Sylvan Park’s rental options range from modern apartments in newly constructed buildings to charming houses built in the 1920s and 1930s.
A bevy of lush trees and manicured landscaping contribute a park-like feel to the neighborhood. The expansive McCabe Golf Course is situated in the southwestern corner of the neighborhood, providing residents and visitors alike with 27 holes of great golf as well as a putting area and a driving range. The Richland Creek Greenway surrounds the course, connecting hikers to shopping and dining areas on White Bridge Pike and Harding Pike.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
