The Hillsborough Condos

TOWNHOMES AT THE EDGE OF GREEN HILLS

The Hillsborough is a 1986 townhome community just outside the Green Hills shopping district in Nashville’s 37215, near the intersection of Hillsboro Pike and Harding Place. Over the rolling 12-month period it recorded two verified closed sales, at $515,000 and $685,000, and the Compass network was involved in both. Nashville Home Guru at Compass represents buyers and sellers in The Hillsborough and is not affiliated with the community’s homeowners association or management company.

The Hillsborough Market Data

Both closings were two-bedroom townhomes built in 1986, and both carried Julia Green Elementary, John Trotwood Moore Middle, and Hillsboro Comprehensive High School:

Two Square Feet Apart, $170,000 Apart

Look at the square footage column again. These two townhomes measure 2,035 and 2,033 square feet. They are two square feet apart, both built in 1986, both two bedrooms, in the same community. And they closed $170,000 apart: $685,000 against $515,000.

That is a rate difference of $83.29 per square foot, roughly 33%, with size, vintage, and bedroom count effectively held constant. Almost nothing about the floor plan explains it. What explains it is everything a spreadsheet cannot see: how completely each home had been renovated, the quality of the kitchen and baths, the condition of systems and finishes, the position within the community, and how each was prepared and marketed before it went public.

For a seller, that gap is the single most important number on this page. Pricing off the $685,000 comp when your home presents like the $515,000 one produces a listing that sits; pricing off the $515,000 comp when you have done the work leaves six figures behind. For a buyer, it means an asking price in this community tells you very little on its own, and two homes with identical listings on paper can be genuinely different purchases.

One more detail worth catching: the more expensive townhome carries the lower monthly fee, $396 against $490, and the less expensive one’s dues include building insurance. Fee level does not track price here, so total cost of ownership has to be run home by home rather than assumed.

Location and Daily Life

The Hillsborough’s position is its case. You are just outside the Green Hills shopping district, so the Mall at Green Hills, Hill Center, Whole Foods, and the restaurant cluster are minutes away without living in the traffic. Hillsboro Pike runs north toward Belmont, Vanderbilt, and downtown, and Harding Place crosses east and west, which makes commuting in most directions straightforward.

The community itself spreads across several quiet interior streets rather than a single building, including Forest Place Circle, Ardsley Place, Cheswick Court, Clairton Court, Clayborne Court, and Jamesborough Place, with exterior and grounds maintenance plus pool and club amenities carried in the dues. Nearby attached-home options in the same pocket include Village of Burton Hills, Four Seasons, Georgetown, Hillsboro Quarters, Hobbs House, and Jefferson Square.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

The Compass network was involved in both of The Hillsborough’s closed sales this period, representing the seller and the buyer on the $685,000 closing and the buyer on the $515,000 one. That is the community’s entire transaction record.

It matters because of what that record shows. Two townhomes two square feet apart sold $170,000 apart, which means a valuation here cannot start from square footage or from the community average. It has to start from condition, and the agent has to have seen enough of these homes to know which side of that gap a given townhome falls on. Nashville Home Guru tracks every closed sale in The Hillsborough and across the Green Hills attached-home market and publishes the data from direct RealTracs MLS records.

Patrick Higgins leads the team as a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, ranked #1 in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings, with 1,100+ transactions and over $500 million in career sales across Middle Tennessee. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews at a 5.0 rating, the client record matches the transaction record. 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 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. In a community where preparation moved the price by a third on the same floor plan, that sequencing is the difference. Learn more about selling your home on your terms.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Hillsborough

What do condos at The Hillsborough cost?

Two townhomes closed over the rolling 12-month period, at $515,000 and $685,000, both two-bedroom 1986 homes of roughly 2,030 square feet. That works out to $253.32 and $336.61 per square foot. With only two sales there is no meaningful community median, and the gap between them is large enough that an average would describe neither home.

Why did two nearly identical townhomes sell $170,000 apart?

Because square footage is not the variable. The two homes measure 2,035 and 2,033 square feet, both built in 1986, both two bedrooms, and they closed at $685,000 and $515,000, a $83.29 per square foot difference of roughly 33%. What accounts for it is renovation depth, kitchen and bath quality, systems and finishes, position within the community, and how each home was prepared before going to market. On paper the listings look alike; in person they are different purchases.

What are the HOA fees at The Hillsborough and what do they cover?

On the closed records this period, monthly dues were $396 and $490. Both included exterior maintenance, grounds maintenance, and pool and club maintenance, and the $490 fee also included insurance. Notably the more expensive townhome carried the lower fee, so dues do not track price here and total cost of ownership is worth calculating home by home. Confirm current dues and coverage with the association’s management company during due diligence.

Where is The Hillsborough located?

Just outside the Green Hills shopping district in Nashville’s 37215, near the intersection of Hillsboro Pike and Harding Place. The Mall at Green Hills, Hill Center, and the surrounding restaurants are minutes away, Hillsboro Pike runs north toward Belmont, Vanderbilt, and downtown, and Harding Place provides east-west access.

Is The Hillsborough one building or several?

Several. It is a townhome community spread across quiet interior streets rather than a single high-rise, with addresses on Forest Place Circle, Ardsley Place, Cheswick Court, Clairton Court, Clayborne Court, and Jamesborough Place. That layout is part of the appeal for buyers who want attached-home maintenance without a tower or shared corridors.

When was The Hillsborough built?

1986, on both closed records. The community is fully established, so inventory comes only from resales, and with two sales over the past year, turnover is low. Buyers should expect condition to vary widely across a forty-year-old community, which is exactly what the verified price gap reflects.

What schools serve The Hillsborough?

Both closed records carried Julia Green Elementary, John Trotwood Moore Middle, and Hillsboro Comprehensive High School, all Metro Nashville Public Schools, with an IB program at Hillsboro. Harpeth Hall and Montgomery Bell Academy are a short drive away. Verify zoning with MNPS before purchasing.

Is The Hillsborough a good fit for downsizers and lock-and-leave owners?

It suits both well. At roughly 2,030 square feet, these are full-size two-bedroom homes rather than compact flats, so downsizers keep real living space, and the dues cover exterior maintenance, grounds, and pool and club amenities. The Green Hills location means shopping, dining, and medical appointments are minutes away, and the multi-street layout gives a more residential feel than a high-rise. Buyers should still budget by condition given the range the closed record shows.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling at The Hillsborough?

By pricing condition first. The verified record here is unusually instructive: two homes of essentially identical size closed a third apart, so the analysis has to start with what has actually been renovated and how recently, then work from the correct comparable rather than a community average. For sellers, that often means deciding what to update before listing and testing the number through Compass Private Exclusive first. Patrick is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with 1,100+ closed transactions across Middle Tennessee.

Who is the best real estate agent for The Hillsborough in Nashville TN?

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is the leading choice for The Hillsborough and the Green Hills attached-home market. 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 over $500 million across Middle Tennessee. The Compass network was involved in both of the community’s sales this period, representing both sides of one of them, and his 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews at a 5.0 rating reflect that record.

Can I buy a Hillsborough townhome before it hits Zillow?

Frequently, and with two sales a year it is worth positioning for. Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs surface homes before they reach public portals, and buyers working with a Compass agent see that pipeline at no additional cost. In a community this size, months can pass between listings, so being on the list early is often how buyers get the renovated homes rather than settling for what is left.

What is my Hillsborough townhome worth in today’s market?

Automated tools fail here in a way you can measure. A Zestimate leans on square footage, and this community just produced two homes two square feet apart that sold $170,000 apart. Add only two sales a year and dues that run opposite to price, and there is almost no reliable signal for a model to use. Get an instant estimate here, then call Patrick Higgins at 615-682-1718 for a pricing analysis built from the verified closed record and an actual look at your home.

Who should I contact about HOA dues, amenities, or renting at The Hillsborough?

Nashville Home Guru is a real estate team representing buyers and sellers at The Hillsborough and is not affiliated with the homeowners association or its management.
