Whites Creek Rental Properties

Located ten miles north of downtown Nashville along I-24, Whites Creek sits on the northwest corner of Davidson County. Also called the "The Bordeaux" by older residents, Whites Creek is a semi-rural bedroom community where development has taken place at a controlled pace. Here one finds a mixture of undeveloped farmland, wooded acreage, and older subdivisions. The nearby Whites Creek watershed, from which the community takes its name, represents some of Middle Tennessee's most pristine and scenic wilderness backcountry. Jesse James and his band of outlaws hid out here in the early 1880s, until the local sheriff finally ran them out of town. Since then, the crime rate in this scenic community has remained among Tennessee's lowest.

Housing in Whites Creek is among the most affordable in all of middle Tennessee, a remarkable fact given that this growing community is only a 15-minute drive from downtown Nashville. Starter houses are available here for as low as $600/mo, and the median rental price for a typical three-bedroom home is roughly $1,200/mo. Larger estate-styled homes are not as common in Whites Creek as they are elsewhere, though a few do come on the market from time to time. They usually rent around $1,750/mo, which is considerably less than in other parts of Davidson County.

Whites Creek is a community steeped in tradition, as evidenced by the existence of the Whites Creek Historic District, a scenic drive offering motorists sweeping views of Tennessee's rural agrarian past. Though the town is administratively subordinate to the greater Nashville metropolitan government, it nonetheless operates on a semi-autonomous basis. Whites Creek has its own elementary school, for instance, though students also have access to numerous optional programs in neighboring communities as well. With its relative proximity to Nashville and its quiet small town charm, Whites Creek offers residents a quick commute to the big city, as well the opportunity to get away from it all at the end of the day.
