## Character

        

Rapidly gentrifying; mix of long-term blue-collar homeowners and new apartment renters. High construction activity and rising rents are defining characteristics.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

Originally developed as worker housing for nearby industrial operations along the Cumberland River and rail corridors, The Nations remained affordable and relatively undeveloped through the 2000s before Amazon's announcement transformed its trajectory.
