Mixed bag
I lived at Parkview Midtown for 2 years during my time in Nashville. Ultimately, it was a mixed bag in regards to my experience.
Pros:
- Clean
- Quiet
- Good value
- Well maintained building
- Responsive to maintenance requests
- Good location in respect to time to hospital, downtown, and soccer stadium
Cons:
- Landlords are EXTREMELY particular (i.e., they require you to have your carpet professionally cleaned or charge you $200 fee upon moving out despite the carpet having no damage... and was very small)
- Do not expect to get your full deposit back no matter what you do (i.e., I was charged for "water" damage that was there when I moved in; charged for a refrigerator water filter I had already replaced within the last 2 weeks of moving)
- My partial deposit was not returned to me in a timely manner (> 30 days to be placed in mail)
- Parking in non-gated area is risky; my car was broken into, other tenants experienced this as well (issue for overnight guests)
- No covered parking (very problematic when your window gets busted out and there is rain on the forecast)
- Lack of amenities (if you are wanting a gym or pool this place is not for you)
- Landlord asked me to write a favorable review prior to moving out
Overall, not the best place I've ever rented, but not the worst either. You get what you pay for.

Property Manager at Parkview Midtown responded to this review
We appreciate that our former tenant took the time to share his experience, and we greatly appreciate his positive comments. The "Cons" were, of course, disappointing. Regarding carpet cleaning, tenants with pets sign a pet agreement and agree to... have the carpet cleaned and the pet treated upon move-out. The tenant chose not to have it done. We were charged $200 to have the work done, and that amount was deducted from the $250 pet deposit. Regarding the car break-in, almost every area experiences them; we are not immune, but we are not a frequent target. This tenant had a 25-month lease term, and the incident occurred in the 24th month. See tenant's notification email below.
FROM TENANT
Hello,
Wanted to let you know that my car got broken into last night. They busted out the window. I was parked on the street perpendicular to Parkview Midtown to allow my GF to park in my spot for the night. They broke into multiple cars. Do we know why there is no parking in front of the building? I've parked there many times without concern. Thanks
Note: Metro blocked the street to repave that week.
