As a parent, I completely understand your concern. I have lived in East Nashville for almost 14 years. I will tell you that most everything you read on a forum like this about East Nashville is inflamatory to be blunt.

The best advice I can give you is for you and your daughter to visit the neighborhood and drive the different areas personally. Stop and ask neighbors and residents who actually live here now.

East Nashville has a listserv which can be a good resource. It is a google group just type in East Nashville in the group search. Join the group and write to the group expressing your concern. You will get some good and unwanted advice but you will also find it helpful.

The complaint about East Nashville's " west side " being full of drug dealers and crime is tired and redundant.

There is crime in East Nashville as there is in any urban area of Nashville. This is city living and we have the issues that come with living in the city and it is not for everyone for sure.
