Lots in Nashville and Davidson County are usually either of the commercial land variety, perhaps a back lot in a less desirable part of a community, or rural land that may or may not have a commercial building on it, too. Some lots are zoned for commercial use only, while other large lots may already have both a commercial building and a residence on them, with additional space for recreational use. Vacant land that is not part of a developer's holdings may be for sale at a premium price in a highly desirable residential area.

With Nashville expanding at a rapid pace, residents and visitors alike drive more than they walk, preferring cars instead of buses. For those who may not know, that's a case of "Shades of Los Angeles!" Renting a car at the airport is definitely recommended for visitors on a real estate foray in Nashville.

Additional parking lots are in great demand and many back lots in Nashville are seeing old structures torn down to be replaced by asphalt and white-striped parking spaces. It has been said by one wag that Nashville has more parking lots than buildings. If a lot is priced correctly, an agent or broker will be able to find a buyer for it, regardless of its zoning.

Lots in Nashville Come In All Sizes

No one size fits all in Davidson County. Lots in Nashville vary in size, from .25 acres of open grassed lot behind a commercial building, to 1.70 acres with a 1,500 square foot home on the property. The latter may not need to be torn down if it is suitable for conversion to a small office. Again zoning laws apply. On the other hand, rural lots may extend to 60 acres, or 600 acres or more in Middle Tennessee.
