Hermitage

37076

Experience It

A Saturday in Hermitage

You wake up in a brick ranch on a cul-de-sac. The yard is big. Traffic is not. Here's how the day goes.

🥾

Morning

Stones River Greenway

About 11 miles of paved, tree-lined trail running along the Stones River. Ravenwood Park is the easy on-ramp — parking, a playground, and workout stations before you hit the path. Dog-friendly, shaded, and genuinely one of the better greenways in the Nashville metro.

🏛️

Mid-Morning

Andrew Jackson's Hermitage

1,120 acres on Old Hickory Boulevard — one of Nashville's most visited historic sites and genuinely one of its best. Guided mansion tours, self-guided grounds walks, a formal garden, hiking trails, and an on-site wine tasting room. Open 9am–5pm daily. Worth doing when you have out-of-town visitors, but locals often overlook it entirely. Dogs welcome on the grounds with a leash.

🍜

Lunch

Dusit Thai or Gondola House Pizzeria

Dusit Thai on Lebanon Pike is the neighborhood's most consistent sleeper hit — authentic Southeast Asian dishes, affordable lunch specials, pad thai and green curry that hold up to anything comparable in Nashville. Gondola House Pizzeria is the longtime local pizza anchor with a loyal following for good reason.

⛵

Afternoon

Percy Priest Lake or Long Hunter State Park

Percy Priest is roughly three miles south — 14,000 acres of reservoir with multiple boat ramps, marinas, and swimming areas. Nashville Shores is here for families who want waterslides and a wave pool. Long Hunter State Park wraps the eastern shore: 30+ miles of hiking and biking trails, lakefront access, fishing, and genuine quiet. This pairing is the reason people who love the outdoors don't leave Hermitage.

🍺

Evening

Whitt's Barbecue or JB's Pour House

Whitt's is the east Nashville barbecue institution — been around for decades, the kind of place that doesn't need to be trendy because it's correct. JB's Pour House is the local bar: casual, neighborhood, no pretense. Hermitage doesn't have a honky-tonk strip and that's by design. Residents here tend to cook at home or know their three spots. Both of these are worth knowing.

Neighborhood Explorer

Hermitage is a large ZIP code with a lot of internal variation — entry-level ranches, established family subdivisions, active-adult communities, newer construction, and everything in between. Here's how the major pockets shake out.

📍 Lebanon Pike Corridor · The main spine $290K – $500K

Price Range

$290K – $500K

Best For

Families, first-time buyers, practical commuters

Landmarks

Lebanon Pike retail strip, schools, big-box access

Lebanon Pike is the commercial spine of Hermitage — grocery stores, chain restaurants, pharmacies, and the practical infrastructure of daily life. The subdivisions branching off it run the gamut from 1960s–80s brick ranches to newer townhome communities. This is where the bulk of Hermitage's housing inventory lives, and where the entry-level to mid-range buyer has the most options. School zoning varies by exact street.

📍 Hermitage Hills & Established Subdivisions · Roots and room $350K – $600K

Price Range

$350K – $600K

Best For

Families wanting space, move-up buyers

Landmarks

Hermitage Hills, Wembley Park, Bridgewater, Tulip Hills

The heart of Hermitage's owner-occupied residential stock — established subdivisions built primarily in the 1980s through early 2000s with larger lots, brick construction, and the practical features families need: garages, bonus rooms, fenced yards. Values here are predictable and stable. Tulip Hills and Wembley Park are among the more consistently active communities. These are the neighborhoods where people stay for 10–20 years.

📍 Old Hickory Blvd / Jackson Corridor · Historic & scenic $380K – $700K+

Price Range

$380K – $700K+

Best For

History-minded buyers, golf enthusiasts, larger lots

Landmarks

The Hermitage, Hermitage Golf Course, Stone Hall, Two Rivers Park

The stretch along Old Hickory Boulevard between downtown Hermitage and the Andrew Jackson estate corridor is the area's most scenic real estate. Hermitage Golf Course runs along the Cumberland River with two 18-hole courses. Two Rivers Park sits nearby with disc golf, the Wave Country water park, and the historic Two Rivers Mansion (1802). Homes here tend toward larger lots, more mature landscaping, and stronger curb appeal than the Lebanon Pike corridor neighborhoods. Jackson Retreat and Jacksons Grove are among the well-regarded communities in this area.

📍 New Construction — Crestview & Active Communities · Modern builds $360K – $650K

Price Range

$360K – $650K

Best For

New construction buyers, open-concept seekers

Landmarks

Crestview, Magnolia Farms, Overlook at Aarons Cress, Tulip Springs

Active new construction is ongoing in Hermitage, primarily at Crestview and surrounding communities. Open-concept floorplans, energy-efficient construction, builder incentives currently in play. Crestview alone has been one of the more active new-build communities in 37076 over the past two years. Magnolia Farms and Overlook at Aarons Cress offer comparable product at similar price points. These are the options for buyers who want a Nashville address with new-construction appeal without going out to Wilson or Rutherford County.

📍 Parkhaven & 55+ Communities · Low maintenance, right size $450K – $700K

Price Range

$450K – $700K

Best For

55+ buyers, downsizers, retirees

Landmarks

Parkhaven Community 55+, Villages of Riverwood

Hermitage has a notably active 55+ housing market. Parkhaven Community is one of the most active 55+ communities in the Nashville metro right now with consistently strong sales volume. Single-level living, low HOA maintenance, access to greenways and parks. Villages of Riverwood offers a similar profile. For buyers in or approaching retirement who want Davidson County proximity, airport convenience, and outdoor access without a yard to maintain — this is one of the better options in the region.

📍 Townhomes & Entry-Level Housing · Davidson County access at lower price $240K – $430K

Price Range

$240K – $430K

Best For

First-time buyers, investors, low-maintenance seekers

Landmarks

Tulip Springs Townhomes, Hope Village, Hermitage Point

Hermitage has a solid inventory of attached housing at prices well below the single-family market — and well below comparable townhomes in Donelson or East Nashville. Tulip Springs Townhomes and Hope Village are active. These make sense for buyers who want the Davidson County address and BNA proximity without the price or maintenance of a detached home. Active investor market here as well.

Market Data

Real Estate Market Overview

Hermitage is a buyer's market in 2026. Inventory is up, days on market have stretched, and buyers have more room to negotiate than they've had in years. For Davidson County access at these prices, the value proposition is hard to argue with.

For buyers: 69 days on market is meaningful leverage. At $234/sqft you're getting more house per dollar than almost anywhere else in Davidson County — significantly below Donelson and well below the inner ring. The combination of price, greenway access, and BNA proximity is genuinely hard to beat for the right buyer.

For sellers: With 336+ active listings and 69 days average, pricing is everything. Homes that are correctly priced and in good condition are still moving. Overpriced homes — especially those chasing the 2022 peak — are sitting and then cutting. The buyers are here; they just have options and they're using them.

Local Knowledge

Insider Insights

✈️

Under 10 Minutes to BNA

Hermitage is one of the closest Davidson County neighborhoods to Nashville International Airport. For frequent travelers, this is a daily-life advantage that doesn't show up in listing photos but shapes everything about living here.

🏫

Schools: Zoning Varies Street by Street

Hermitage is entirely in Davidson County and in the McGavock school cluster. Public school performance is mixed — Dodson Elementary has earned National Blue Ribbon recognition, while other elementaries and DuPont Tyler Middle have lower proficiency scores. Verify your specific address assignment through MNPS before buying. Private alternatives nearby include Donelson Christian Academy and Holy Rosary Catholic Academy.

💧

Two Lakes, One ZIP Code

Hermitage sits between Percy Priest Lake to the south and Old Hickory Lake to the north. Few Nashville ZIP codes have this kind of water access in multiple directions. For buyers who want outdoor recreation as part of daily life, this geography is a legitimate differentiator.

📉

$234/Sqft Is Hard to Find in Davidson County

The average price per square foot in Hermitage runs about 15–20% below Donelson and roughly 30% below East Nashville. For buyers who need more space — extra bedrooms, a home office, a bigger garage — the math here is straightforward.

🏌️

Hermitage Golf Course Is Legitimately Good

Two 18-hole courses along the Cumberland River, consistently ranked among the best public courses in the region. Resident blackface sheep on the course are a Hermitage calling card. Golf buyers who know about this place are loyal to it.

🏗️

Active New Construction — With Builder Incentives

Crestview and several other Hermitage communities currently have active new construction with builder incentives — rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, HOA credits. This is a window that buyers in the right price range should take seriously before inventory absorbs.

🔗

A Personal Note

Stephanie grew up in neighboring Donelson. We know this corner of Nashville as well as anywhere we work. The Hermitage stigma from some Nashville buyers is largely unearned — the outdoor infrastructure here is remarkable, the BNA proximity is unbeatable, and the value per dollar in Davidson County is among the best available.

📍

Greenway-Adjacent Homes Sell Fastest

Homes with easy walking or biking access to the Stones River Greenway consistently outperform the broader market in days on market and price retention. If outdoor access is part of your criteria, ask specifically about greenway proximity — it's not always listed but it matters.

Common Questions

Hermitage FAQ

Is Hermitage a good place to buy a home?
Yes — especially for buyers who prioritize value, outdoor access, and airport proximity over walkability or trendy dining. Hermitage offers more square footage per dollar than almost anywhere else in Davidson County, sits between two lakes with exceptional recreational infrastructure, and provides a direct line to BNA and downtown Nashville. The tradeoffs are real: public schools are mixed, the area lacks a walkable commercial core, and the neighborhood doesn't carry the cachet of Donelson or East Nashville. Buyers who know what they want and aren't buying for bragging rights often become long-term Hermitage homeowners.
What is the median home price in Hermitage?
As of early 2026, the median list price in Hermitage (37076) is approximately $503,000, with an average of $234 per square foot. That median is influenced upward by executive-style homes and new construction — the most active trading range for everyday buyers is $350K–$550K in the single-family market and $240K–$430K for townhomes and attached housing. Verify current figures against RealTracs before making decisions.
How far is Hermitage from downtown Nashville?
Most of Hermitage runs 15–20 minutes to downtown via I-40 in normal traffic. The western edge — closer to Donelson — can be 15 minutes. The far eastern edge can push to 25–30 minutes depending on traffic and exact location. BNA airport is under 10 minutes from most of the ZIP, which is one of Hermitage's most underappreciated practical advantages.
What are the schools like in Hermitage?
Hermitage is in Metro Nashville Public Schools, assigned to the McGavock school cluster. School quality is genuinely mixed — Dodson Elementary has earned National Blue Ribbon recognition, while other elementaries in the area and DuPont Tyler Middle have lower proficiency scores. McGavock High School serves the cluster and is one of Tennessee's largest high schools with extensive career academy options in aviation, law, technology, and health sciences. School zoning varies by street — always verify your specific address assignment through MNPS. Families prioritizing academics often look at Donelson Christian Academy (K–12) or Holy Rosary Catholic Academy as private alternatives.
Is Hermitage safe?
Hermitage is broadly considered one of the safer areas on Nashville's east side, with crime rates meaningfully below Nashville metro averages. Like any large ZIP code, there's internal variation — the established owner-occupied subdivisions around Lebanon Pike and the Old Hickory Boulevard corridor are low-crime, family-oriented areas. We always recommend buyers look at block-level data and talk to us about the specific subdivision they're considering, not just the ZIP as a whole.
What ZIP code is Hermitage?
Hermitage is 37076. All of 37076 is in Davidson County — unlike neighboring Old Hickory (37138), there's no county-line complication here. Every Hermitage address is Metro Nashville/Davidson County, with the same Metro government services and school system throughout.
How long are homes sitting on the market in Hermitage?
The current average is 69 days on market — up meaningfully from the 2021–2022 pace. Well-priced homes in desirable subdivisions still move in 2–4 weeks. Greenway-adjacent homes and new construction with builder incentives tend to move faster. Overpriced listings or those with deferred maintenance are pulling the average up. Sellers who price correctly from day one are still getting solid results; those holding out for peak-cycle prices are sitting and then cutting.
What is Andrew Jackson's Hermitage and why does it matter to buyers?
Andrew Jackson's Hermitage is a 1,120-acre National Historic Landmark on Old Hickory Boulevard — the preserved home, grounds, and burial site of the seventh U.S. President. It's one of Nashville's most visited historic sites and, for residents, a genuinely walkable or bikeable recreational amenity with hiking trails, formal gardens, and seasonal programming. It also shapes the identity and naming of the entire neighborhood. For buyers who appreciate history and open green space as part of their surroundings, living within a mile or two of the estate is a real quality-of-life asset.
