Hillsboro Park

FOREST HILLS LUXURY COMMUNITY | ACRE LOTS | NASHVILLE TN 37215

About Hillsboro Park

Hillsboro Park is one of Forest Hills’ most established luxury communities, a collection of homes on acre lots or larger in zip code 37215. The neighborhood occupies the Forest Hills corridor off Hillsboro Pike, with streets including Melbourne Drive, Cromwell Drive, Gardendale Drive, Montcrest Drive, Kingsbury Drive, Andover Drive, Stonehaven Court, and Stonehurst Drive. Nearby communities include Bancroft, Chickering Valley, and Otter Wood.

Hillsboro Park is a high-volume community by Forest Hills standards. Over the past 12 months, 21 homes closed between $600,000 and $4,250,000, with a median of $1,425,000. That 21-transaction volume makes Hillsboro Park one of the most liquid Forest Hills communities, far ahead of thin-market streets like Stanford Drive or Hemingway Drive. At a 7-day median days on market, well-priced Hillsboro Park homes attract offers within the week.

The neighborhood’s defining characteristic is its lot size. Homes sit on acre lots or larger, which is the defining feature of the Forest Hills lifestyle and the primary differentiator from the Green Hills corridor to the north where HPR lots and sub-half-acre parcels dominate at comparable price points. For specialist guidance on the Forest Hills luxury market, our best realtor for Forest Hills Nashville guide covers the 52% Compass share across the broader Forest Hills segment.

The Homes of Hillsboro Park

Hillsboro Park’s housing stock is dominated by mid-century originals built between 1955 and 1973, with a median year built of 1959. These are the Forest Hills estate homes that define the neighborhood’s established character: generous footprints (2,220-4,387 sqft in the mid-century tier), traditional layouts, and the kind of mature landscaping that comes with 50-70 years of growth on acre-plus lots.

The neighborhood also hosts a growing new-construction tier that has emerged on the largest lots. A 2020 build on Montcrest Drive closed at $3,450,000 for 5,330 sqft. A 2017 build on Hillsboro Pike closed at $4,250,000 for 6,506 sqft. These new-construction homes represent the ceiling of Hillsboro Park pricing and compete directly with Green Hills estate streets like Wayland Drive and Hemingway Drive.

The mid-century tier ($600K-$1.6M) offers renovation opportunity at prices that compare favorably to Green Hills comparables. At $402 median per square foot, Hillsboro Park’s pricing is above the overall Green Hills corridor average of $384, reflecting the one-acre lot premium, but below the $529/sqft on nearby Stanford Drive and well below the $558/sqft on Hemingway Drive. Buyers in the mid-century tier are purchasing for the Forest Hills lot size, JT Moore school zone, and renovation upside.

Hillsboro Park Market Data

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

The 67% Compass share in Hillsboro Park is above the broader Forest Hills average of 52% and matches the concentration seen in Northumberland (67%). In practical terms, 14 of the 21 most recent Hillsboro Park transactions involved Compass on at least one side. At the top of the market, both the $4,250,000 and $3,450,000 closings involved non-Compass brokerages on the listing side — but the majority of the $1M-$2M mid-tier transactions moved through Compass buyer agents. For buyers, that network presence means early access to Hillsboro Park inventory before public listing.

How does Hillsboro Park compare to Green Hills or Belle Meade for luxury buyers?

Hillsboro Park ($1.425M median) offers something neither Green Hills ($1.4M median) nor Belle Meade ($2.27M median) can deliver at the same price point: acre-plus lots with the Forest Hills privacy and tree canopy, combined with JT Moore school zoning and immediate Hillsboro Pike retail access. Green Hills at $1.4M is mostly HPR properties on sub-half-acre lots. Belle Meade at $1.4M is entry-level for that market with older homes.
