What began as conversations between neighbors Christina Bogdanova, Heidi Hall and Kenneth White, along with encouragement from our city council member, Hon. Nancy VanReece, would become the South Madison Neighborhood Association in 2018. Founded as a volunteer organization to serve this community and to share information about events, history, advocacy, utilities, safety and more, we represent 4 subdivisions and 600+ homes between West Old Hickory Boulevard, South Graycroft Avenue, Due West Avenue and the CSX railroad.
We are not a home owners’ association or a paid-membership organization. There are no special property rules for members outside of the existing municipal codes for property upkeep enforced by Metro Codes. There are no dues or fees to join. Anyone living or owning property within the boundaries of the association is a member and encouraged to volunteer to help us make our neighborhood the magic of Madison.

Neighborhood Initiatives
Litter and trash pickup
Twice a year we get together to walk the streets of our neighborhood to pickup thrown trash and identify illegally dumped items for the city to come collect.
Gibson Creek cleanup
Gibson Creek begins in our neighborhood and flows into the Cumberland River. Our goal is to work with the Cumberland River Compact to help maintain this vital water feature.
The Madison Station Gateway Mural
Through a grant from Metro Arts, we are working with artists, neighbors, Beautification Commissioners in Districts 3 and 9, the Madison Rivergate Chamber Partnership, Nossi College of Art and local businesses to improve the CSX underpass at Linda Lane/Woodruff St/David McMurry Way.
Tennessee Smart Yards
We are working with neighbors, Metro Water, and University of Tennessee Institue of Agriculture to promote Tennessee Smart Yards. Smart Yards are built with a collection of measures that individual homeowners can make to reduce water runoff and increase biodiversity in our neighborhood. Help us become Nashville’s first Smart Neighborhood!
