“I would like to preface this by saying that our experience here has not been ALL bad! This is the first apartment my boyfriend and I have rented together and it has been a very solid first home for us. That being said, I do wish it could be better. Clara was the office manager working here when we…”
“Shoutout to Brandon and Clara. I stayed here for two years and they were always extremely helpful when I moved in and out. Getting set in was a breeze and moving out was easier and they even tried to negatiate a lower rent price to help me stay. Maintenace was timely and friendly and always helped …”

Safety & Property Crime
For a renter, property crime is what you actually feel day to day — a car broken into overnight, a package lifted off the step, a bike gone from storage, or how the walk from the lot feels after dark. Here's how Metropolitan Nashville Police Department looks on the theft-related crimes that touch renters most.
These are city-level figures from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting program — not block-by-block. Your specific street may run calmer or rougher than the citywide rate.

The practical takeaways here are the unglamorous ones: park in lit areas, use a parcel locker if the community offers one, and don't leave anything visible in the car.

Natural Hazards to Plan For
At a moderate-hazard address like Legacy Hill Apartments, the question of whether to add earthquake coverage to a renters policy isn't obvious — endorsements run roughly $50–$150 a year, and the probability of a damaging quake is real but low. Flood risk here is minimal and most other weather damage is already covered. Specifics below.
Flood damage
This address is in one of FEMA's lower flood-risk classifications. Standard renters policies don't cover flood damage anywhere, but in low-risk zones the cost of a separate NFIP policy generally isn't justified by the expected loss. The detail is below mostly for completeness.

FEMA Zone X (minimal flood hazard) — Minimal flood risk
Flood insurance optional but inexpensive in this zone.
Zones can change — verify at FEMA Flood Map Service
Earthquake shaking
The seismic picture is in the middle: damaging earthquakes are uncommon but not negligible. Renters insurance excludes earthquake damage regardless, so the choice is whether the modest cost of an endorsement is worth the modest probability of a payout. The data point below provides the specifics.
Source · USGS NSHM
Moderate seismic hazard · ground motion 0.15g
Endorsements priced for renters typically run under $100 a year and only cover personal property. Whether it pays back depends on the value of what's in your unit.
Ground motion at ~2% probability over 50 years — the building-code reference level
Severe weather you'd actually claim for
This is the part of the natural-hazard picture where renters insurance actually pays out. NOAA records around 36 severe-weather events a year in Davidson County. Damage to personal property from wind, hail, and storms is covered by a baseline policy — the historical record below is more about understanding what your policy will actually be used for than identifying a coverage gap.
Severe-weather damage to personal belongings is covered without an endorsement on every standard renters policy. The frequency above is part of why carrying the coverage matters here, not a reason to add anything extra.

Standard renters insurance is enough for most renters here. The earthquake endorsement is worth pricing if you'd find replacing your possessions out-of-pocket painful.
