Clarksville is a city of about 171,897 people, according to the Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey five-year estimates. Two rivers shape it. The Cumberland River curls around downtown and the south side, and the Red River cuts across from the east, separating downtown from New Providence and St. Bethlehem. Interstate 24 runs along the east side, with exits 1, 4, 8 and 11, and Fort Campbell lies to the northwest. The main roads fan out from downtown: Wilma Rudolph Boulevard (U.S. 79) to the northeast, Madison Street (U.S. 41A) to the southeast, Fort Campbell Boulevard (U.S. 41A) to the northwest and Trenton Road and Tiny Town Road to the north.

The city publishes no official list of neighborhoods. What it has is the county-wide Comprehensive Plan, written by the Regional Planning Commission, which splits Clarksville and Montgomery County into 13 planning areas, each with its own boundaries, landmarks and to-do list. Eight of them hold most of the city, and this guide uses those eight. School zones do not follow them: all eight touch at least two high school zones.

ZIP codes are the Census Bureau’s ZIP code areas that cover each planning area inside the city limits. High schools are what the district’s 2026-27 zone map shows at points we checked inside the city. The Zillow Home Value Index is a modeled value for a typical mid-priced home, not a sale price; the city figure was $317,914 in September 2026, up 0.3% on the year. More in home prices and schools.

Downtown

The plan’s Downtown Urban Core: from the Red River on the north and east to Riverside Drive on the west and the Greenwood neighborhood on the south. It holds the historic downtown, Austin Peay State University, McGregor Park and the Cumberland Riverwalk, with older residential streets around them. Read the Downtown guide.

South Clarksville

The bend of the Cumberland River south of the Greenwood neighborhood, mostly homes, with commercial land on Riverside Drive and Ashland City Road and Liberty Park and Marina on the river. Mostly zoned for Montgomery Central High. Read the South Clarksville guide.

Hilldale

East of downtown, from the Red River south to the Cumberland and Ashland City Road, out to Richview Road, with Madison Street, Memorial Drive, Golf Club Lane and Crossland Avenue as its main roads. The plan calls it the most walkable area outside downtown. Read the Hilldale guide.

St. Bethlehem

The northeast between the Red River, Spring Creek and I-24, around Exit 4 and Wilma Rudolph Boulevard, with Governor’s Square mall, Dunbar Cave State Park and Rossview High. Read the St. Bethlehem guide.

Sango

The southeast, around Exit 11, Madison Street (U.S. 41A) and State Route 76, with Rotary Park and Clarksville High. About half of the planning area is inside the city. Read the Sango guide.

North Clarksville

Everything north of the Red River, Little West Fork and Spring Creek up to the Kentucky line, between Fort Campbell and the county line: Tiny Town Road, Trenton Road and the north end of Fort Campbell Boulevard. It is the largest area in the city. Read the North Clarksville guide.

Lafayette Peachers Mill

The west side between Fort Campbell and the Little West Fork, south to Dover Road, along Fort Campbell Boulevard, Peachers Mill Road and Lafayette Road. Read the Lafayette Peachers Mill guide.

New Providence

Across the Red River from downtown, along Providence Boulevard, with Trice Landing, Sevier Station and Fort Defiance on the Cumberland. Once a separate town, it was annexed long ago. Read the New Providence guide.

Areas mostly outside the city

Five of the plan’s planning areas are mainly unincorporated county or the post: Rossview, east of I-24, home to the Kirkwood school campus on Rossview Road and the industrial park at Exit 8; Fredonia/Adams in the southeast; Cumberland South River and Woodlawn Dotsonville west and south of the Cumberland; and Fort Campbell. The city reaches into Rossview only around Exit 8.

The map

The 13 planning areas are drawn on the maps in the Comprehensive Plan, chapter 10. The Regional Planning Commission’s maps page has the zoning, city limits and annexation maps.

How we built this

  • The areas are the planning areas in the Clarksville-Montgomery County Comprehensive Plan, with the boundaries, roads and landmarks as the plan describes them. We used the Planning Commission’s own planning area map layer to place points and stores. We did not name any subdivision. OpenStreetMap’s place names around Clarksville are mostly individual subdivisions, so we did not use them to define areas.
  • School zones come from the district’s 2026-27 middle and high school zone map. We laid a grid of points about a third of a mile apart across the part of each area inside the Census Bureau’s current city limits and read the zone at each point. The district’s address lookup could not be queried automatically, so check one address there; zones change.
  • Grades are the Tennessee Department of Education’s 2024-25 A-F school letter grades.
  • Home values are the Zillow Home Value Index by ZIP code and for the city, September 2026.
  • Distances on the area pages are measured along OpenStreetMap’s road network, not drive times.

There is no side-by-side comparison with neighboring cities yet: the nearest are Oak Grove and Fort Campbell North across the line in Kentucky, with different counties, schools and tax systems.
