In 2018 the News channel 5 Nashville reported that the neighborhood was becoming unaffordable. Developers had begun constructing expensive homes and residents were forced to pay higher property taxes. [3]

A tornado destroyed a 108-year-old structure called the Hopewell Baptist Church in Buena Vista. It was subsequently rebuilt and it reopened In 2022. The church was an important Buena Vista landmark because it was frequented by German and African American people of North Nashville and it was designed by notable architect Henry Gibel. [4]
