Chickering Road

FOREST HILLS’ ACREAGE ESTATE CORRIDOR

Location & Daily Life

Chickering Road runs south from the Belle Meade and Cheekwood corner into Forest Hills, and its family of streets, Chickering Lane, Chickering Court, Chickering Circle, and Chickering Park Drive, branches through some of the largest residential parcels in Nashville. Cheekwood Estate & Gardens anchors the corridor’s north end, Percy Warner Park’s trails sit minutes west, and the Green Hills retail corridor is roughly ten minutes east. Neighboring markets include Chickering Hills, Chickering Valley, Highlands of Belle Meade, and Warner Park Valley.

Every verified closing on the corridor this period carried a 37215 Forest Hills address, though the corridor’s north end touches the 37205 line at Belle Meade. Daily life here is acreage life: long driveways, mature hardwoods, horses on some parcels, and Forest Hills’ famously low-density zoning keeping it that way.

The Homes

The corridor’s closed record this period spans a full century of construction, 1920 to 1983, and that range is the market. At the top, a 1920 estate on 9.44 acres closed at $6,000,000 and $1,043.48 per square foot, four-figure per-foot territory that almost nothing in the zip reaches. In the middle, mid-century estates on two to seven-plus acres traded from $2,650,000 to $4,158,625. And at the entry, the Iroquois Meadows section of Chickering Circle offered 1978-1983 homes on just under an acre from $1,200,000. Same corridor, same school zone, five-times spread between the doors.

The Market This Year: 11 Corridor Closings

The Chickering-named streets recorded 11 verified closings over the rolling 12-month period at a $2,650,000 corridor median. Each street tells its own story:

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period. Corridor total: 11 closed sales, $2,650,000 median.

Notable verified closings: the $6,000,000 Chickering Road record (1920 build, 5,750 square feet, 9.44 acres, $1,043.48 per square foot), a $4,158,625 Chickering Lane estate on 3.07 acres, the $3,900,000 Chickering Court closing on 5.88 acres where Compass held the listing, the $3,800,000 Chickering Lane sale on 7.32 acres, also a Compass listing, and a $2,150,000 Chickering Circle closing with Compass on both sides. In all, the Compass network was involved in 4 of the corridor’s 11 sales.

Schools

Every one of the corridor’s 11 verified closings this period carried the same zoning: Percy Priest Elementary, John Trotwood Moore Middle, and Hillsboro Comprehensive High School. That uniformity, 11 of 11 records in one zone, is rare for a corridor with a five-times price spread, and it means the $1.2 million entry buys the same school assignment as the $6 million record. The private bench sits within roughly 15 minutes: Montgomery Bell Academy, Harpeth Hall, Ensworth, and University School of Nashville. Verify zoning for any specific address.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume, and after merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold in Tennessee. For acreage estates with thin buyer pools, the network’s coming-soon inventory, private exclusives, and agent referral reach matter more than any portal.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy delivers measurable results. Homes pre-marketed through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction. On a corridor where the same school zone spans $1.2 million to $6 million, private price testing before public exposure is worth real money. Learn more about selling your home on your terms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chickering Road

Where is Chickering Road?

Chickering Road runs south from the Belle Meade and Cheekwood Estate & Gardens corner into Forest Hills, on Nashville’s southwest side. Its family of streets, Chickering Lane, Chickering Court, Chickering Circle, and Chickering Park Drive, branches through Forest Hills’ large-lot estate zoning. Every verified closing on the corridor this period carried a 37215 address.

How many homes sold on the Chickering corridor this year?

Eleven verified closings over the rolling 12-month period at a $2,650,000 corridor median: one on Chickering Road ($6,000,000), four on Chickering Lane (median $3,300,000), two on Chickering Court, three on Chickering Circle in the Iroquois Meadows section, and one on Chickering Park Drive.

What was the highest sale on Chickering Road?

$6,000,000 for a 1920 estate of 5,750 square feet on 9.44 acres, at $1,043.48 per square foot. That is four-figure per-square-foot territory reached by only a handful of sales across the entire zip this period, and it came on a century-old home, the restoration premium at corridor scale.

What drives prices on the Chickering corridor?

Acreage first: this period’s record included closings on 0.92 to 9.44 acre lots, and the sales above $3.5 million all carried three-plus acres. Build era and renovation level set the rest, with the record spanning 1920 to 1983 construction. The result is a five-times spread inside one corridor: $1,200,000 at the Iroquois Meadows entry to $6,000,000 at the top.

What schools serve Chickering Road?

All 11 verified closings this period carried Percy Priest Elementary, John Trotwood Moore Middle, and Hillsboro Comprehensive High School, a perfectly uniform zone across the corridor’s full price range. Montgomery Bell Academy, Harpeth Hall, Ensworth, and University School of Nashville sit within roughly 15 minutes. Verify zoning for any specific address.

Is there an affordable entry to the Chickering corridor?

Chickering Circle’s Iroquois Meadows section is the door: three closings this period from $1,200,000 to $2,150,000 on lots just under an acre, with 1978-1983 construction. Those addresses carry the same Percy Priest, John Trotwood Moore, and Hillsboro zoning as the corridor’s $6,000,000 record.

How does the Chickering corridor compare with Belle Meade?

The City of Belle Meade closed 25 estate sales at a $4,299,999 median this period against the corridor’s 11 at $2,650,000. Belle Meade buys the address and the boulevard; Chickering buys land, two to nine-plus acres in this year’s record, at a lower median. Buyers weighing the two are usually deciding between prestige-per-dollar and acreage-per-dollar.

I own a home on the Chickering corridor. What should I know before selling?

Your comp set is thinner and more sensitive than it looks. Eleven sales sound like depth, but they split across five streets, a century of build eras, and a nine-acre range in lot size, so the wrong comp costs six figures. Patrick Higgins prices from the verified corridor record, tests the number privately through Compass Private Exclusive before public exposure, and brings the negotiating discipline of 1,100+ transactions. The 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews behind that process are the track record talking.

Is Chickering Road a good fit for buyers who want land inside Nashville?

It is the corridor for exactly that buyer. This period’s record included closings on 2.17, 2.38, 2.98, 3.07, 5.88, 7.32, and 9.44 acre parcels, all under Forest Hills’ low-density zoning that protects the scale, and all within 15 minutes of Green Hills. Anchor budgets to the $2,650,000 corridor median, with three-plus acres commanding $2.8 million to $6 million this year.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying on Chickering Road?

Street by street, never corridor-average. A Chickering Circle target prices from the Iroquois Meadows record around $1.2 to $2.15 million; a Chickering Lane acreage estate prices from the $2.65 to $4.16 million band; the road itself trades on land value. Patrick works the Compass network’s coming-soon and private exclusive pipeline for the corridor’s thin inventory, the same network that handled 4 of its 11 closings this period. A seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, he has spent over a decade in these corridors.

Who is the best real estate agent for Chickering Road in Nashville TN?

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is the leading choice for the Chickering corridor. He is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads the #1 team in Nashville and a top 10 team in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings, and has closed 1,100+ transactions totaling $500M+ across Middle Tennessee. The Compass network held the listing on two of the corridor’s three largest closings this period and was involved in 4 of its 11 sales, and his 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews at a 5.0 rating reflect that record on these streets specifically.

Can I buy a Chickering Road home before it hits Zillow?

On a corridor that averages under one listing a month, pre-market access is a real advantage. Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs give Compass buyers access to homes being prepared for market before they appear on Zillow or public portals, and working with a Compass buyer’s agent costs the buyer nothing additional.

What is my Chickering Road home worth in today’s market?

Automated estimates miss badly here: a Zestimate cannot price 9.44 acres against 0.94, a 1920 restoration against a 1983 original, or the Iroquois Meadows entry against the estate core, and this year’s record ran from $326 to $1,043 per square foot on the same corridor. Start with an instant estimate, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a full pricing analysis built from the verified closed record on your street.
