Why Downsizing Isn’t Downgrading at McEwen
July 4, 2025

There’s a quiet revolution happening in Tennessee, especially in fast-growing areas like Franklin and greater Nashville. And no, it’s not a new music genre or barbecue trend. It’s something smaller. Smarter. More intentional.
It’s the rise of the one-bedroom apartment as a full lifestyle upgrade.
And at McEwen Northside, it’s being redefined entirely.
Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better
Gone are the days when luxury meant square footage for the sake of it. Today’s most discerning renters aren’t looking for space, they’re looking for purpose. For proximity. For beauty that works hard.
One-bedroom living at McEwen is less about what you’re giving up and more about what you’re finally getting right.
Imagine:
- No wasted rooms
- No unused furniture
- No “I’ll deal with that pile later” corners.
Just a home that fits. Effortlessly. Beautifully. Intentionally.
Built for More Than Just Sleeping
At McEwen, one-bedroom apartments don’t just accommodate your life, they elevate it.
Need a dedicated workspace? Done.
Want a chef-style kitchen with countertop space for actual cooking (not just ordering)? It’s already there.
Dream of a spa-level bathroom and walk-in closet that feels like a boutique? We thought you might.
With open-concept layouts, private balconies, premium finishes, and every square inch considered, the one-bedrooms here punch way above their weight.
Relocating to Tennessee? Start in Franklin. Stay in McEwen.
There’s a reason Franklin keeps popping up in “Best Places to Live” lists. It’s charming, walkable, connected, and increasingly a hub for top-tier professionals, creatives, and remote workers.
McEwen Northside is right in the center of it all, blending urban walkability with Tennessee warmth. Restaurants, fitness studios, coffee shops, and retail are right outside your door. No long commutes. No fighting downtown traffic.
Just mornings that start with a walk to breakfast and end with wine on your balcony as the sun sets behind the Tennessee hills.
Not a Starter Apartment. A Smart Apartment.
McEwen isn’t “the place you live until you figure it out.” It’s the place you realize you’ve already figured it out.
From the tech-enabled amenities (think: smart locks, luxe coworking space, climate control) to curated resident events and an onsite team that anticipates what you need before you even say it out loud, this is what one-bedroom luxury living should feel like.
It’s not less. It’s just less stress. Less clutter. Less maintenance. And more time for the things you moved to Tennessee for in the first place.
One Bedroom. One Community. One Smart Move.
Whether you’re relocating, rightsizing, or just ready to stop compromising, McEwen Northside offers the one-bedroom that fits not just your floorplan, but your lifestyle.
