Nashville's 12South air quality reflects the boutique retail and residential neighbourhood, with vehicle traffic on 12th Avenue South and the surrounding tree-lined mixed residential and commercial character contributing local sources. The neighbourhood's walkable character and the mature tree canopy provide natural filtration, while the flat Middle Tennessee terrain allows reasonable dispersal and 12South generally maintains among Nashville's more pleasant inner urban residential environments throughout most of the year.
