This page publishes Nashville apartment building data for the 232 buildings tracked in the NashvilleApartmentBuildings.com directory — floors, unit count and year built across twelve Nashville neighborhood groups, current as of October 2026. Every figure below is calculated directly from the same building-level records shown on each building’s own listing page, so the Nashville apartment building data here always matches what appears on the individual listings. The directory does not yet record building amenities, so this page publishes no amenity figures; confirm pets, parking, laundry, air conditioning and fitness facilities with each building’s leasing office.

Apartment Buildings by Neighborhood
Each of the twelve neighborhood groups below is summarised on its own, so a single figure can be read without reference to the tables above. Counts are of buildings published in this directory.

How This Nashville Apartment Building Data Is Compiled
Every number on this page comes from the structured fields attached to individual building listings in the NashvilleApartmentBuildings.com directory — not from third-party feeds, survey estimates, or modeled projections. When a building’s floor count, unit count, or year built is corrected on its listing, the totals here change with it.
The directory is a reference list of 232 apartment buildings in Nashville, Tennessee, ranging from 6 to 850 apartments each. Every building on it carries a Nashville mailing address. It is not a census of Nashville rental housing. Neighborhood groupings follow the directory’s own neighborhood pages and are approximate; a building’s street address is the precise reference. A blank field on a listing means the value is unknown, not that it is absent. Floor count and year built are currently recorded for all 232 buildings. The directory does not yet record amenities, so no amenity shares are calculated.
To work with the underlying records directly, browse the full A–Z building index or the building map. For citywide housing context beyond this directory, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey publishes housing unit and occupancy estimates for U.S. cities and counties.
Data current as of October 7, 2026, based on the 232 buildings currently published in the NashvilleApartmentBuildings.com directory. Figures are recalculated as buildings are added, updated, or removed. For a specific building’s own facts, see its listing page.
