Last but not least, and probably not surprising at all, Radnor Lake is definitely on my September favorites list this year. It is the BEST place for hiking and walking during the fall. The trees around the lake are so vibrant and colorful, there’s wildlife everywhere, and the other hikers/walkers always have a smile on their face.

My absolute favorite walking trail and maybe favorite overall spot in Nashville is Radnor Lake State Park. If you can get past the frustration of finding a parking spot, you will be so pleasantly surprised. Passing Oak Hill and Green Hills mansions as you drive in, you’ll never believe there is a protected state park that includes a beautiful lake and the highest elevations in Nashville. You’ll see turkeys, deer, and maybe even an eagle as you walk both the paved and unpaved trails throughout the park. People come to Radnor to hike, photograph, propose, all the things…

I finally tried the new Iberian Pig restaurant in the Gulch, and WOW. The menu is tapas-style and so much fun for a group or even a date night. The happy hour was great, $5 sangria or house red/white, and the bacon-wrapped dates were even more great. Absolutely recommend.

A few businesses on the horizon that I’m excited for are Buccee’s, Trader Joe’s, Cava, and In’N’Out, which are all set to be built in 2024.

Saturday night, there is a Tomato Fest after-party at Tall Tales Nashville, which is a new bar on top of the Waymore Hotel I’ve been wanting to try. They will have multiple DJs and drink specials, and the event is sponsored by Lalo Spirits.

With every season of life, there are new Nashville favorites. July has been HOT and BUSY. That being said, I’ve been gravitating towards slower vibes and air-conditioned spaces. Here are a few of my favorite things I’ve been doing this month (July 2024).

Maybe you’re moving to Nashville and want to build a community outside of the city or you’re starting a family and want the suburban lifestyle without the yard work. Lenox Village might be a good consideration if you fall into one of these categories (or you’re an investor wanting to rent to one of these categories).

The properties surrounding Leiper’s Fork are some of the most beautiful, luxurious homes in Middle Tennessee and possibly the entire Southeast region. The best way to describe it is “luxurious slow living”. Enjoy coffee on the porch, horses in the field, and maybe a few neighbors that sing your favorite country songs.
