Metro Center Case Study

Improved Essays
The area of Metro Center is largely inhabited by commercial businesses with major through traffic coming from a neighboring interstate, downtown Nashville, and two nearby universities. Because of the overwhelming commercial presence in Metro Center, the housing options are limited and traditional single-family homes are nonexistent. Only four apartment duplexes are located in the area, with the maximum number of bedrooms being three, leaving little space to grow a family. Not only are options limited when finding housing, the apartment complexes that are in the area are not nearly large enough to house the people who work in or around Metro Center, making listings far and few between, and the housing that is found, is out of the price range
