What it feels like to live in Hermitage
Hermitage is the Davidson County community that quietly offers some of the best price-per-square-foot value east of Nashville. Andrew Jackson's Hermitage estate is the historical anchor, but daily life revolves around Percy Priest Lake access, the Lebanon Pike commercial corridor, and neighborhoods that range from established brick ranches to new construction infill.
Location and commute
Hermitage sits east of Nashville along I-40 and Lebanon Pike. Downtown is about 20 minutes west; Mt. Juliet and Lebanon are a short drive east. Percy Priest Lake runs along the southern edge.
Housing stock and price range
The housing mix includes mid-century ranches, 1990s subdivisions, and new construction townhomes. Entry-level homes start in the low $300s, with larger family homes in the $400s-$500s.
Schools
Hermitage is served by Metro Nashville Public Schools, including McGavock High School. Several private options are within driving distance.
Parks and outdoor life
Percy Priest Lake, Long Hunter State Park, and the Stones River Greenway are all accessible from Hermitage. This is a strong area for fishing, kayaking, and trail running.
