What it feels like to live in Orlinda
Orlinda is a tiny community in northern Robertson County that sits along the Kentucky border. It is as rural as the Nashville metro gets — tobacco barns, cattle fences, and gravel roads are part of the daily landscape. For buyers who want maximum land for minimum cost and are willing to drive, Orlinda delivers.
Location and commute
Orlinda is about 45 minutes north of Nashville. Springfield is 20 minutes south. The commute is the primary trade-off for the land and pricing.
Housing stock and price range
Homes in Orlinda are predominantly farmhouses and rural builds on multi-acre lots. Pricing is among the lowest in the Nashville metro area, with properties available in the $200s.
Schools
Robertson County Schools serves Orlinda. Jo Byrns High School is the local high school.
Parks and outdoor life
The lifestyle is the outdoors — farming, horseback riding, hunting, and open-sky living. Cross Plains and Springfield provide the nearest structured recreation.
