Rental Property in Antioch, TN

Located less than 15 miles outside of Nashville, Antioch has become a Mecca of affordable housing. This once rural community, which is now home to the Nashville Zoo, is only minutes from downtown. Antioch also boasts deep roots in Tennessee's rich history. It was the site of one of the state's earliest churches, for instance. Founded in 1810, the Antioch First Baptist Church later became the namesake for the town itself. Antioch is conveniently connected to Nashville via Interstate I- 24, and features such amenities as Hickory Hollow Mall, a shopping center with over 150 specialty stores and convenient access to Percy Priest Lake.

The quiet residential streets of Antioch provide the perfect place to raise children. In recent years, this once-sleepy village has undergone a construction spree of affordable housing and starter homes. In fact, you can now easily find a 2,000 square-foot rental home for well under $1,500/month. You can also find more secluded rental properties on wooded lots along Mount View Road and Murfreesboro Pike. These older homes are especially attractive because they combine rustic charm with easy access to modern amenities.

Antioch is also a popular property rental destination for families because it is home to many quality public and private schools, such as Nashville Academy. In fact, the Cane Ridge area of Antioch is set about to open three brand new schools in 2009 that will provide excellent public education opportunities. Though Antioch was once marked out for major industrial construction, recent zoning laws and environmental efforts to preserve nearby Mill Creek have put an end to all major building in the area. Newcomers to Antioch can rent a home confident that the area will long retain its quiet setting and affordable suburban lifestyle.
