Belmont and 12 South Condos for Sale (2026): 4 Buildings

Belmont and 12 South Nashville condo corridor running south from Belmont University along 12th Avenue South toward Melrose inside zips 37203 and 37204
The Belmont and 12 South corridor, running south from Belmont University along 12th Avenue South toward Melrose, with Sevier Park near the center and the Melrose commercial node anchoring the south end.

Belmont and 12 South condos sit in the corridor running south from Belmont University down 12th Avenue South to the Melrose commercial node, covering zips 37203 and 37204. Four condominium buildings trade under tracked subdivisions in MLS. They are The Forsythe at 825 Gale Lane (brand new 2026), Eighth South Mixed-Use at 2407 8th Avenue South (2017), Chelsea at 1900 12th Avenue South (2016), and Park at Melrose at 2310 Elliott Avenue (2007-2008). Generally, pricing runs the high $200,000s through the mid $600,000s for 1BR and 2BR product. In short, the entry point is a sub-$300K 1BR at Chelsea or Eighth South, and the top of the band is a $643,750 new-build 2BR at The Forsythe.

In short, this corridor is the spine between Belmont University and the Melrose commercial node. On the north end, Belmont University and the residential blocks around Wedgewood anchor daily life. Down the middle, 12th Avenue South runs the chef-driven restaurant cluster and Sevier Park. To the south, Melrose and the 8th Avenue South retail strip take over. Honestly, most of my buyers in this corridor are choosing between a newer build (Forsythe, Eighth South, Chelsea) and a more established Melrose address (Park at Melrose), and most are weighing this against the high-rise stack a few blocks north at the Music Row District condos.

What Is the Belmont and 12 South Corridor?

The neighborhood between Belmont University and Melrose

Belmont and 12 South is a mile-long stretch of independent restaurants, boutiques, and coffee shops. Bungalow-lined side streets run off of it on both sides. The corridor runs south from Wedgewood Avenue. Belmont University anchors the north end, and the 1890 campus is where the neighborhood gets its name. From there, the spine follows 12th Avenue South. It runs through the retail strip, past Sevier Park, and into the Melrose commercial node around 8th Avenue South. Most of the housing inside the corridor predates 1950 and runs bungalow and craftsman cottage. Since 2010, infill construction has added townhomes and the four condominium buildings tracked on this page.

What you’ll do here on a typical weekend

The 12th Avenue South retail strip is the daily-life anchor. Five blocks between Linden Avenue and Kirkwood Avenue carry the densest foot traffic in the corridor. Frothy Monkey for coffee. Five Daughters Bakery for hundred-layer donuts. Burger Up, Edley’s BBQ, Bartaco, and Mafiaoza’s for dinner. Imogene + Willie for denim. Draper James for the Reese Witherspoon flagship. A few blocks south, Sevier Park covers the corridor’s green space. The park has an off-leash dog area, a playground, and the annual Sevier Park Fest each May. Past the park, the Melrose commercial node picks up around 8th Avenue South. Sinema, M.L. Rose Craft Beer, and The Sutler at the old Melrose Theater all sit in that cluster. North of Wedgewood sit Edgehill Village and The Twelve Thirty Club. A five-minute drive puts you in The Gulch or on Music Row.

How the four condo buildings fit

The tracked condominium footprint is small relative to the surrounding single-family stock. Chelsea at 1900 12th Avenue South puts buyers directly on the retail strip in ZIP 37203. The Forsythe at 825 Gale Lane is the 2026 new construction on the Belmont edge. Eighth South Mixed-Use at 2407 8th Avenue South sits at the Melrose intersection. Park at Melrose at 2310 Elliott Avenue is the largest of the four buildings, also in Melrose. Three of the four sit in ZIP 37204; Chelsea sits in 37203. For broader urban-core options, the Music Row District condos page covers the high-rise stack immediately north. Alternatively, the West End Nashville condos page sits a few blocks west.

Honestly, the Belmont and 12 South corridor breaks down to three real buyer choices. First, if you want sub-$350K 1BR product on or near the 12 South retail strip, Chelsea at 1900 12th Avenue South and Eighth South at 2407 8th Avenue South have the entry-level inventory right now. Second, if you want a larger 2BR with established closed comps and the Melrose address, Park at Melrose at 2310 Elliott Avenue is the deepest trade in the set. Third, if you want brand-new 2026 construction on the Belmont edge, The Forsythe at 825 Gale Lane is the only new-build option in the corridor. In other words, the corridor covers the full pricing band from the high $200,000s through the mid $600,000s, with each building covering a distinct slice.

Long-Term Rental, Short-Term Rental, and Investment Considerations

Belmont and 12 South tracked condo buildings are owner-occupied or long-term rental properties only. All four buildings (The Forsythe, Eighth South Mixed-Use, Chelsea, Park at Melrose) have HOA bylaws requiring minimum lease terms of six months or longer. None permits Airbnb, Vrbo, or any nightly rental program. Of course, this matches the brokerage rule across every Nashville high-rise and mid-rise condo in May 2026.

If you’re looking at long-term rental yield, the corridor checks several boxes. Specifically, Belmont University faculty and graduate students, the 12 South retail strip workforce, and Music Row professionals drive steady demand. As a result, furnished and unfurnished long-term rentals lease across all four buildings, with 12-month terms standard. Meanwhile, Park at Melrose at $329,000 to $449,900 offers the deepest current inventory and the most reliable historical rent comps. Chelsea, however, commands a small premium per door for the 12 South retail-strip address.

If you’re specifically chasing short-term rental, Belmont and 12 South condos are not the right product. Instead, the Type 2 / NOOSTR permits in 37203 and 37204 zips are attached to detached single-family historic bungalows on the side streets off 12th Avenue South, not condo units. For Nashville STR-eligible inventory, look at the Nashville Airbnbs for sale page.

Schools and Zoning

Belmont and 12 South sits within Metro Nashville Public Schools. However, specific elementary, middle, and high school zones vary by exact address. As a result, buyers with school-age children should use the official MNPS school zone lookup at schools.mnps.org to confirm the assigned zone for any address. In practice, most Belmont and 12 South condo buyers are urban professionals, Belmont University faculty, or downsizing empty-nesters. The compact 1BR and 2BR product mix tends to skew that way.

Melrose covers the south end around the 8th Avenue South commercial corridor. Locals and the MLS use the names interchangeably, but the tracked condo footprint clusters at three points: 12 South proper (Chelsea), Melrose (Park at Melrose and Eighth South), and the Belmont edge near Gale Lane (The Forsythe).

Does any Belmont and 12 South condo allow short-term rentals?

No. All four Belmont and 12 South condo buildings have HOA bylaws requiring six-month minimum leases. None permits Airbnb, Vrbo, or any nightly rental program. However, the Type 2 / NOOSTR permits in 37203 and 37204 zips are attached to detached single-family historic bungalows on the side streets, not condo units.

In addition, Sevier Park hosts the annual Sevier Park Fest in the middle of the corridor.

What schools are zoned for Belmont and 12 South condo buyers with children?

The corridor falls within Metro Nashville Public Schools. Specific elementary, middle, and high school zones depend on the exact address. Use the MNPS school zone lookup for any active listing to confirm. In practice, most Belmont and 12 South condo buyers are urban professionals, Belmont University faculty, or downsizing empty-nesters. The compact 1BR and 2BR product mix tends to skew that way.

How does Belmont and 12 South compare to Music Row District for condo pricing?

Belmont and 12 South is comparable on entry-level 1BR PSF but lacks the high-rise amenity stack of Music Row. Specifically, active 1BR Belmont and 12 South inventory runs $346 to $574 PSF versus $375 to $550 PSF typical for Music Row 1BR product. The real trade is product type versus location density. On one side, Music Row gives you mid-rise and high-rise stacks with concierge, pool, and fitness amenities at 1212 Laurel, 1101 Eighteenth, and 807 Eighteenth. On the other side, Belmont and 12 South gives you smaller mid-rise and townhome-style condos with the 12th Avenue South retail strip as your daily-life anchor. In practice, buyers comparing the two usually pick Belmont and 12 South for the neighborhood character and the retail walkability, and Music Row for the amenity package.
