Hemmingwood

BRENTWOOD’S ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY OFF OLD HICKORY BOULEVARD

Location and Daily Life in Hemmingwood

Hemmingwood sits off Old Hickory Boulevard in Brentwood’s 37027 zip code, one of the more distinctive positions in the city. The neighborhood is in Davidson County, which separates it from the majority of Brentwood subdivisions that fall in Williamson County. That county placement affects school assignments, property taxes, and the overall buyer profile, and it’s one of the first things to understand before evaluating any specific home here.

Old Hickory Boulevard is one of Nashville’s most useful east-west corridors, and Hemmingwood’s location on it gives residents quick access to I-65, I-24, and Nolensville Pike without needing to run surface traffic gauntlets. The Brentwood commercial corridor along Franklin Road is a short drive, putting Hill Center, Whole Foods, and the restaurants along Maryland Way within easy reach. Downtown Nashville is roughly 15 to 20 minutes depending on the time of day.

The streets within Hemmingwood carry an English place-name theme: Abingdon Court, Ashington Court, Bridlington Court, Hearthstone Lane, and Lymington Court. These are cul-de-sac and court-style streets that reduce through traffic and contribute to the quiet residential character of the neighborhood. The combination of mature trees, varied architectural styles, and tennis courts and walking trails woven through the community gives Hemmingwood a genuinely settled feel that newer Brentwood subdivisions take decades to develop.

For daily conveniences, residents are close to the Cool Springs corridor to the south and the Maryland Farms office park district to the north. The Brentwood YMCA and Crockett Park are both within a reasonable drive, adding recreational options beyond the neighborhood’s own amenities.

The Homes

Hemmingwood was built between 1986 and 1989, making it one of Brentwood’s established communities with nearly four decades of history. The construction era is important context for buyers: these homes predate the shift toward open floor plans and larger primary suites that became standard in the 2000s, though many have been updated to varying degrees since original construction.

Home sizes in Hemmingwood run from approximately 1,733 to 3,137 square feet across the closed sales of the past 12 months, with most homes falling in the 1,900 to 2,800 square foot range. Bedrooms run 3 to 4, with most homes configured as 4-bedroom plans. Bathrooms are typically 2 full baths plus a half bath, with some of the larger homes offering 3 full baths. The variety of floor plans reflects the different sections of the neighborhood and the mix of builders active during the late-1980s development window.

Exterior construction across Hemmingwood is notably varied. Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) construction accounts for the majority of homes, with all-brick homes representing roughly a quarter of the inventory. Several homes combine brick with stucco or fiber cement elements. Buyers accustomed to all-brick construction should note this mix during due diligence, as EIFS maintenance history and condition is worth inspecting carefully in homes of this age.

Architectural styles range from traditional colonials to contemporary designs, ranch-style floor plans, and what the MLS characterizes as cottage-style layouts. Lot sizes run from 0.15 to 0.44 acres, which is compact by Brentwood standards but consistent with infill-adjacent development along the Old Hickory corridor. Two homes on Hearthstone Lane and Lymington Court each sold twice within the past 12 months, signaling active resale activity and buyer demand at both the entry and upper ends of the price range.

Hemmingwood Market Data (Past 12 Months)

The $216 spread between the lowest and highest price per square foot ($231 to $447) reflects the renovation spectrum in Hemmingwood more than any fundamental quality difference between homes. The lower end reflects a larger, less-updated home on a smaller lot. The high end at $447 per square foot is a 1,733 sq ft home on Hearthstone Lane, suggesting that fully renovated smaller homes here can achieve premium pricing on a per-foot basis that rivals far newer Brentwood product. Two homes each sold twice within the rolling 12-month window, which signals active buyer demand at multiple price points rather than a single distorted event.

Amenities

Hemmingwood’s amenity package is built around the outdoor lifestyle that characterizes the best of Brentwood’s established neighborhoods. Tennis courts serve the community and draw residents looking for recreational options without leaving the neighborhood. Walking trails wind through the community and connect to the broader area greenway network. A park and playground provide family-friendly spaces for younger residents.

Underground utilities run throughout Hemmingwood, which keeps the streetscape clean and the mature tree canopy unobstructed. Sidewalks connect the neighborhood’s cul-de-sacs and courts, making it pedestrian-friendly in a way that many comparable Brentwood communities of the same era are not.

HOA fees for most homes run $425 per quarter, which works out to approximately $142 per month or $1,700 per year. One section of the neighborhood operates at $106 per month ($1,272 annually). For context, this HOA cost is moderate by Brentwood standards. Communities with pools and clubhouses typically run $150 to $250 per month. Hemmingwood’s dues cover common area maintenance, the tennis courts, trail upkeep, and the park facilities.

The neighborhood does not have a community pool, which is one of the trade-offs buyers weigh against the lower dues. For families who prioritize pool access, the Brentwood YMCA and several private clubs are nearby alternatives.

Schools Serving Hemmingwood

Hemmingwood is entirely within Davidson County, which means Metro Nashville Public Schools serve all homes in the neighborhood. This is different from the majority of Brentwood’s 37027 zip code, which falls in Williamson County and is zoned for Williamson County Schools. Buyers who are specifically targeting Williamson County Schools (including Brentwood Middle and Brentwood High) should verify this distinction before committing to a specific home.

Elementary: Granbery Elementary School serves Hemmingwood. Granbery is a Metro Nashville Public School with a solid reputation within the Davidson County system.

Middle: William Henry Oliver Middle School serves Hemmingwood students. Oliver Middle is part of Metro Nashville Public Schools.

High School: John Overton Comprehensive High School is the assigned high school for Hemmingwood. Overton offers a range of academic and extracurricular programs within the Metro Nashville system. Buyers who want access to Brentwood High School need to confirm a Williamson County address before purchasing.

Private school options that draw students from Hemmingwood include Lipscomb Academy, Brentwood Academy, and several faith-based schools along the Old Hickory corridor. Given the neighborhood’s location, families seeking private education have strong options nearby regardless of the public school assignment.

Over the past 12 months, Compass and Parks agents were involved in 4 of the 11 closed sales in Hemmingwood, representing 36.4% of all transactions. All four of those sides were on the listing side, meaning Compass and Parks listed homes that other agents’ clients ultimately purchased.

Patrick Higgins leads the team ranked #1 in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, with 1,100-plus transactions and more than $500 million in career sales across Middle Tennessee.

Patrick’s team breaks down pricing by construction type, square footage tier, and renovation scope before making any recommendation, which is the only honest way to evaluate a neighborhood where the same address can sell at $755,900 one year and approach $940,000 the next.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. Following the merger with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass and Parks agents represent roughly 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee.

Price per square foot averaged $356 but ranged from $231 to $447 depending on home size, construction type, and renovation scope. Smaller fully renovated homes here have achieved premium per-foot pricing that competes with far newer Brentwood product.

When was Hemmingwood built?

Hemmingwood was developed between 1986 and 1989. The neighborhood is fully built out with no new construction available. All sales are resale homes, and many have seen significant renovation investment since original construction.

What are the HOA fees in Hemmingwood?

Most homes in Hemmingwood pay $425 per quarter, which works out to approximately $142 per month or $1,700 per year. One section operates at $106 per month ($1,272 annually). HOA fees cover maintenance of common areas including tennis courts, walking trails, the park, and shared infrastructure. There is no community pool, which keeps dues below what comparable Brentwood neighborhoods with pool facilities charge.

What schools serve Hemmingwood?

Hemmingwood is in Davidson County and served by Metro Nashville Public Schools: Granbery Elementary, William Henry Oliver Middle School, and John Overton Comprehensive High School. This is different from most of Brentwood’s 37027 zip code, which is in Williamson County and zoned for Williamson County Schools. Buyers who want Brentwood Middle or Brentwood High School need to verify a Williamson County address before purchasing. Private options nearby include Lipscomb Academy and Brentwood Academy.

Does Hemmingwood have a community pool?

No. Hemmingwood does not have a community pool. Amenities include tennis courts, walking trails, a park, a playground, sidewalks, and underground utilities. The absence of a pool is reflected in the HOA dues, which are moderate compared to Brentwood communities with pool facilities. The Brentwood YMCA and nearby private clubs are alternatives for residents who prioritize pool access.

Is Hemmingwood a good fit for buyers relocating to the Brentwood area?

It is a strong fit for relocation buyers who want an established Brentwood address with mature landscaping, a walkable community with sidewalks and trails, and access to the broader Nashville metro without paying for the newest product on the market. The Davidson County school assignment is the primary consideration for families with school-age children: confirm whether that works for your family before scheduling showings. For buyers who prefer or plan to use private schools, the school district distinction matters less and Hemmingwood becomes a very compelling value in the 37027 zip code.

Why work with Nashville Home Guru to buy or sell in Hemmingwood?

Compass and Parks agents represented 36.4% of all Hemmingwood transactions in the past 12 months, with all four of those sides on the listing side. That means Nashville Home Guru’s team has direct knowledge of how these listings were priced, what buyers competed for them, and where value was found or missed. For buyers, that intelligence translates into better offer positioning. For sellers, it means pricing strategy grounded in actual closed transaction data from the neighborhood rather than automated estimates.

Who is the best real estate agent for Hemmingwood in Brentwood TN?

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is consistently among the most active agents serving the Hemmingwood and Old Hickory Boulevard corridor in Brentwood. Ranked #1 in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, Patrick has completed 1,100-plus transactions totaling more than $500 million in Middle Tennessee.

Can I find Hemmingwood homes before they appear on Zillow?

Yes. The Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs give Nashville Home Guru buyers access to homes before they enter the public market. In a neighborhood like Hemmingwood where 11 homes closed in 12 months, being first to a new listing at the right price point is a meaningful advantage. Buyers who are actively targeting Hemmingwood are added to the private notification list when they contact Patrick directly. Call or text 615-682-1718 to get on that list.

What construction type should I look for when buying in Hemmingwood?

Hemmingwood has a meaningful mix of exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) construction and all-brick homes. EIFS accounts for the majority of closed sales. Buyers considering EIFS homes should conduct thorough inspections focusing on water intrusion history, moisture testing, and maintenance records, as EIFS performance is highly dependent on installation quality and ongoing upkeep. All-brick homes typically command a premium and require less specialized maintenance. Patrick Higgins can walk you through the specific construction considerations for any home you are evaluating before you make an offer.

What is my Hemmingwood home worth in today’s market?

With a $580,000 spread between the lowest and highest closed sale in the past 12 months and an average price per square foot of $356, automated valuation tools are particularly unreliable for Hemmingwood. A Zestimate cannot distinguish between a fully updated EIFS home and an unrenovated all-brick home on a larger lot, or account for the impact of renovation scope on per-foot pricing. Start with an instant estimate here, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a full comparable market analysis before making any pricing decision.
