Hillwood

THE CLUB DISTRICT’S FULL LADDER | NASHVILLE 37205

Location & Daily Life

Hillwood anchors the western side of Nashville’s 37205 zip code, wrapped around Hillwood Country Club where the Belle Meade and West Meade corridors meet. Its streets carry a mix of Victorian, Tudor, modern, and traditional architecture along Hillwood Boulevard, Summerly Drive, Hickory Valley Road, Fleetwood Drive, and Brook Hollow Road, with the verified record adding Gun Club Road, Davidson Road, West Hillwood Drive, Cargile Road, and Haverford Avenue. Nashville West, the White Bridge corridor, and St. Thomas West are minutes away; downtown is roughly ten miles east.

The Hillwood name covers a family of communities, each with its own page and its own market: Hillwood Estates, Hillwood Terrace, The Hillwood townhomes, and Hillwood Park, with Hill Place, Brookside Courts, and Horton Heights adjoining.

The Hillwood Family: One Name, Every Price Point

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

Few Nashville neighborhoods run a ladder this complete under one name: a buyer can enter the Hillwood district at $465,000 in the townhomes and climb, without leaving the name, to the $12,000,000 estate record on Wilsonia Avenue. The family closed 29 verified sales this period at a $1,775,000 median, and the Compass network was involved in 13 of them (44.8%), including the sales at the very top of the record.

The Core Hillwood Record: Led by a $7.77 Million Closing

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

The core reads like the corridor’s whole story compressed into six sales. At the top, 326 Gun Club Road, an 8,624 square foot 2025 build beside the club, closed at $7,771,489 and $901 per square foot with Compass representing both sides, the largest closing in the West Meade-Hillwood corridor this period and a number that only Belle Meade proper exceeds in this zip. Beneath it: a $4,275,000 2022 build, a $2,900,000 2018 build, a 1952 original on 2.15 acres at $2,800,000 proving land and provenance still command estate money, and entry sales at $1,200,000 and $868,500 on the same street grid. The teardown-to-estate cycle, the two-market split, the full-ask discipline, all of it is here.

The wider family added its own signals this period: a Sedberry Road home filed to the Hillwood Estates side drew $130,000 over asking, and in Hillwood Terrace a 2025 build on Neartop Drive traded twice within the window, $3,203,000 with Parks Compass on the buy side and then $3,450,000, a $247,000 climb inside a single year.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru in Hillwood?

Patrick Higgins, a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads Nashville Home Guru at Compass, the #1 team in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, with 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales, and 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews at a 5.0 rating. In the Hillwood family the record speaks for itself: Compass was involved in 13 of 29 sales (44.8%), represented both sides of the $7,771,489 Gun Club Road record, sat on the buy side of the Neartop new build, and listed across the Terrace and townhome tiers.

A family that trades from $465,000 to $7.77 million demands tier-specific judgment, and Patrick prices each Hillwood property against its own market: townhomes against the attached record, originals against the land-and-condition math the $2,800,000 Hickory Valley sale just reset, and new builds against the $656 to $901 per square foot band the record now supports. Sellers launch through the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy, where pre-marketed homes sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to take a reduction. Buyers can start with the home buyers guide, sellers with a confidential analysis through the selling in greater Nashville page, and the full valuation methodology lives at What’s My Home Worth in Belle Meade.

What are the different Hillwood communities?

Four markets share the name: core Hillwood (club-side estates, $2,850,000 median), Hillwood Terrace (2021-2025 new construction, $2,356,500 median), Hillwood Estates (acre-lot estates, $1,775,000 median, home of the $12 million zip record), and The Hillwood townhomes (the attached entry at a $475,000 median). Each has its own page and its own comp set, and they should never be priced against each other blindly.

Is Hillwood a good fit for a buyer who wants the club lifestyle without Belle Meade pricing?

It is the district built for exactly that. Hillwood Country Club anchors the neighborhood, the record runs from $465,000 townhomes to $7.77 million estates, and the core’s $2,850,000 median sits well under Belle Meade proper’s $4,299,999. A buyer can join the same orbit, same schools bench, same ten-mile commute, at whichever rung of the ladder fits.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Hillwood?

Tier by tier. A family spanning $465,000 to $7.77 million cannot be priced from one comp set, so Patrick grades each property against its own market: the townhome record, the original-with-land math that put $2,800,000 on a 1952 house, or the $656 to $901 per square foot new-build band the Gun Club and Davidson Road sales established. He is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with 1,100+ transactions.

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

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely regarded as the leading agent for Hillwood and the surrounding club district. He is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent whose team is ranked #1 in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, with 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales. The Compass network was involved in 13 of the Hillwood family’s 29 closings this period (44.8%) and represented both sides of the $7,771,489 neighborhood record. The team carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews at a 5.0 rating.

Can I buy a Hillwood home before it hits Zillow?

Yes, and at the top of this market it is the norm: the record sale closed with one brokerage on both sides, which is what happens when inventory moves through a network before it reaches the portals. Hillwood opportunities circulate through Compass as Private Exclusives and quiet owner conversations, and Patrick’s buyers receive that inventory as it circulates, at no additional cost to the buyer.

Can I sell my Hillwood home off-market?

Yes. The Gun Club Road record is the proof of concept: matched privately within the Compass network, both sides, at $901 per square foot. A Compass Private Exclusive can test your number against vetted buyers with no public market time, no price history, and no photos circulating. If the private market confirms the price, you sell without ever having been publicly listed; if not, you relaunch publicly with a clean record.

Is new construction happening in Hillwood?

Actively, and at the corridor’s highest prices: the 2025 Gun Club Road build closed at $7,771,489, a 2022 Davidson Road build at $4,275,000, and Hillwood Terrace’s 2021-2025 builds at $1.5 to $3.45 million, including one that resold within the year for $247,000 more. The club district’s acre-scale lots are the corridor’s most valuable raw material, which is also why original owners here hold seven-figure land value.

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

It depends entirely on which Hillwood market your property belongs to: the family traded from $465,000 to $7,771,489 this period, and an automated estimate averaging across those tiers will miss badly. Whether yours prices as a townhome, an original with land value, or new-build-band product is a walk-through call. Start with an instant estimate, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a tier-specific analysis against the verified record.
