Hermitage in One Page
Hermitage is an unincorporated community on the east side of Nashville, inside the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, about fifteen miles from downtown. The ZIP code is 37076 and the area codes are 615 and 629. It takes its name from Andrew Jackson’s home on the north side of Old Hickory Boulevard.
715 homes closed here over the last twelve months and 2,234 over the last three years, at a $424,900 twelve-month median. That volume is the practical thing about buying or selling in Hermitage: there are recent closed sales for almost every product type, so nobody has to price off a comparable from two years ago.
One geographic note that costs money if you miss it. A thin band of addresses on the eastern edge mails as 37076 but sits in Wilson County. Of the 715 closings, 694 filed in Davidson and 21 in Wilson. Those pay Wilson County property tax and zone to Wilson County Schools rather than Metro Nashville. Confirm the county on the parcel, not the mailing address.

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.
Two numbers there do most of the work. The first is the gap between detached and attached: $445,000 against $315,000, which is why the all-property median reads lower than what people find when they shop for a house with a yard. The second is the no-HOA count. 209 of 715 closings, 29 percent, carried no association at all, which is an unusual share for a Nashville ZIP code and is concentrated in the older detached subdivisions.
Sellers got 98.9 percent of the last asking price at the median and 410 of 711 closings landed below list. Hermitage is not a market where you bid over ask. There is room in most transactions, and a seller who prices to the top of the range will find that out slowly.
The Neighborhoods That Carry the Volume
| Neighborhood | Closings, last 12 months | Median | Median size | Typical year built |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crestview | 73 | $433,290 | 2,018 sq ft | 2025 |
| Hermitage Hills | 47 | $375,000 | 1,650 sq ft | 1963 |
| Villages of Riverwood | 42 | $435,000 | 1,852 sq ft | 2014 |
| Tulip Hills | 39 | $329,990 | 1,388 sq ft | 2025 |
| Overlook at Aaron’s Cress | 36 | $554,995 | 2,437 sq ft | 2025 |
| Tulip Grove | 36 | $415,000 | 1,969 sq ft | 1974 |
| Parkhaven | 32 | $680,988 | 2,787 sq ft | 2025 |
| Highlands of Tulip Grove | 19 | $415,000 | 1,951 sq ft | 1976 |
| The Reserve at Stone Hall | 16 | $683,500 | 2,976 sq ft | 2016 |
| Magnolia Farms | 17 | $500,000 | 2,285 sq ft | 2020 |
| Bridgewater | 11 | $490,000 | 2,764 sq ft | 2007 |
| Fox Run | 11 | $255,000 | 1,581 sq ft | 1973 |
Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.
Read that list as two markets side by side. Crestview, Tulip Hills, Overlook at Aaron’s Cress and Parkhaven are builder communities delivering now. Hermitage Hills, Tulip Grove and Highlands of Tulip Grove are 1960s and 1970s resale, where the spread inside a single subdivision is condition rather than location. Villages of Riverwood and Bridgewater sell both a townhome and a detached product under one name, so a median quoted for either is a number that describes neither.
Where to go from here: the 37076 ZIP code page for the full market picture, new construction for what the four active builders are selling, condos and townhomes for the community-by-community HOA comparison, and homes under $250,000 for the entry point.

Assignment counts from the 715 closings, not rankings. Metro Nashville Public Schools sets these by address and can change them, so confirm the specific parcel.

| Elementary | Dodson Elementary | 208 |
| Elementary | Hermitage Elementary | 100 |

| Middle | DuPont Hadley Middle | 57 |
| High | McGavock Comprehensive High School | 687 |
| High | Wilson Central High School (Wilson County) | 12 |
| High | Green Hill High School (Wilson County) | 7 |
Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.
The high school line is unusually clean: 687 of 715 closings, 96 percent, zone McGavock. Elementary is where the variation lives, and the boundary between Tulip Grove and Dodson runs through the middle of the ZIP code rather than along an obvious road, so two houses on the same street can split.

Questions People Ask About Hermitage TN
What county is Hermitage TN in?
Davidson County. Hermitage is an unincorporated community inside the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, about fifteen miles east of downtown. A narrow band of addresses on the eastern edge mails as 37076 but sits in Wilson County: 21 of the 715 homes that closed here last year filed in Wilson rather than Davidson, and those pay Wilson County property tax and zone to Wilson County Schools.
What is the ZIP code for Hermitage TN?
37076, and it is the only one. The area codes are 615 and 629, the same pair the rest of Nashville and Davidson County uses.
What is the average home price in Hermitage TN?
The median is the more useful number and it is $424,900 across 715 closed sales over the last rolling twelve months. The average is $442,610, pulled up by a handful of sales above $1,000,000. Detached homes median $445,000 and attached homes $315,000.
Is Hermitage TN part of Nashville?
Yes. Hermitage is not a separate city. It is an unincorporated community governed by Metro Nashville and Davidson County, which means Metro property tax, Metro services and Metro Nashville Public Schools. People use the name the way they use Bellevue or Donelson, as a district of Nashville rather than a municipality.
What neighborhoods are in Hermitage TN?
By closed volume over the last twelve months, the largest are Crestview (73 closings), Hermitage Hills (47), Villages of Riverwood (42), Tulip Hills (39) and Overlook at Aaron’s Cress (36). The table above covers the top twelve with prices and typical year built.
What new construction is being built in Hermitage?
187 new homes closed in the last twelve months, from four builders. Meritage Homes at Crestview and Riverbrook, Beazer Homes at Tulip Hills and Overlook at Aaron’s Cress, Century Communities at Park at Wiltshire, and Lennar at Wembley Park and Wembley Estates. HND Realty builds Parkhaven, which its association operates as age-restricted housing for older persons. Prices and volumes for each are on the new construction page.
Do Hermitage homes have HOA fees?
Many do not. 209 of 715 closings, 29 percent, carried no association at all, concentrated in the older detached subdivisions. Where there is one, the median across all property types is about $135 a month, and the spread by community is wide enough to change a buying decision. The full comparison is on the condos and townhomes page.
Is Hermitage a good fit if I want a three-bedroom under $450,000 within fifteen miles of downtown Nashville?
That combination is close to the center of this market rather than a stretch. 407 of the 715 closings were three-bedroom and 423 closed under $450,000. The constraint at that budget is condition rather than availability: most of what clears under $450,000 here was built before 2000, so the inspection and the deferred maintenance number decide whether the price is actually good.
How does Patrick Higgins approach buying in Hermitage?
By working the builder release calendar on the new side and the negotiating room on the resale side, because they run in opposite directions here. New construction goes under contract several times faster than resale, so the homesites worth having are usually gone before a search alert fires. On resale the median closing came in at 98.9 percent of the last asking price and 410 of 711 closed below list, so an offer at ask is usually leaving money in the room. Patrick Higgins has closed more than 1,100 transactions across Middle Tennessee since 2014 and publishes this market’s numbers monthly from direct RealTracs data.
Who is the best real estate agent in Hermitage TN?
Patrick Higgins leads Nashville Home Guru at Compass, the top team in Nashville by RealTrends and one of the top ten in Tennessee, with more than 1,100 closed transactions and over $500 million in Middle Tennessee residential sales since 2014. Compass and Parks agents were on 133 of the 715 closings in Hermitage over the last twelve months, 18.6 percent. He is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, and the client record is public: 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews. The detail is on the Hermitage real estate agent page.
