Green Hills Homes

Green Hills occupies the curved residential streets between Belle Meade and Forest Hills, anchored by Hill Center on Hillsboro Pike and a residential fabric that has been carefully preserved through fifty years of Davidson County growth. The neighborhood reads as quietly established. Mature canopy along Estes Road, Hobbs Road, and Lone Oak Drive provides shade that newer Nashville districts have not yet earned. Hill Center Green Hills concentrates the dining, retail, and casual social life that gives the neighborhood its commercial identity, while the residential streets that flow outward into Woodmont, Whitworth, and Estes remain reserved and unhurried. Green Hills is a midpoint between Belle Meade’s estate scale and the broader Davidson County market, and most Green Hills buyers choose it precisely because it sits between two adjacent identities rather than committing fully to either.

What Makes Green Hills Different

Green Hills is a less self-conscious luxury submarket than Belle Meade. The neighborhood lacks the country club axis that defines Belle Meade’s identity, and lacks the trophy estate concentration that defines Forest Hills. What it offers instead is the most consistent mid-luxury inventory in Davidson County, with a predictable architectural rhythm and a price band that accommodates buyers across a meaningful range.

Architectural mix. Green Hills’ housing stock spans 1940s ranches, 1960s and 1970s split-levels, 1990s renovations, and an active wave of recent new construction primarily concentrated in Tyne Meade, Graybar Lane, and the streets feeding Trimble Road. Recent closings include $5.30M at 3401 Trimble Road (2012), $5.25M at 1617 Graybar Lane (2018), $5.17M at 1806 Castleman Drive (2025), and $5.10M at 3920 Dorcas Drive (2020). The top of the Green Hills market reaches the $5M-$6M band for new construction on the best lots.

Hill Center anchor. Hill Center Green Hills sits at the geographic and commercial center of the neighborhood. The retail concentration combined with the Bluebird Cafe, the Mall at Green Hills, and the surrounding restaurant scene defines the neighborhood’s daily commercial life.

Pace and predictability. Green Hills’ 13-day median days on market for the broader 37215 area reflects the depth of buyer interest. The well-priced inventory in this submarket moves quickly. Off-market opportunity is less of a differentiator here than in Belle Meade or Forest Hills, simply because Green Hills’ transaction pool is broader.

Green Hills Sub-Areas

Within the broader Green Hills identity, several recognized sub-areas hold their own market character.

Tyne Meade – 10 closed sales in 36 months, a concentration of recent new construction. Tyne Boulevard frontage and adjacent streets contain some of Green Hills’ largest recent builds. Recent sales include $6.10M at 2700 Hemingway Drive (2026) and $5.03M at 2408 Hemingway Drive (2025).

Woodmont Estates – 10 closed sales. Established residential streets, larger lots, mid-century to recent renovation stock.

Abbottsford – 10 closed sales. Quiet residential pocket east of Hillsboro Pike.

Seven Hills – 15 closed sales. Sits on the Green Hills / Forest Hills boundary with characteristics of both. Cross-shopping with Forest Hills is common in this sub-area.

Burton Hills, Legend Hall, and the inner Green Hills streets – Smaller pockets with established mid-century stock, frequently renovated. These streets carry some of the strongest per-square-foot pricing in the neighborhood.

1804 Shackleford Road Townhomes and similar attached product – 5+ closed sales. A growing share of Green Hills inventory is attached townhome rather than single-family, primarily concentrated on the Hill Center periphery.

Green Hills Pricing Tiers

Entry to Mid-Market: Under $1.5M

Smaller older homes, attached townhomes near Hill Center, and partial-renovation properties. This tier sees the fastest inventory turnover in Green Hills, often with multiple offers within the first week.

Established Mid-Luxury: $1.5M to $3M

The deepest band of Green Hills inventory. Includes most of the renovated mid-century and 1970s homes on the established residential streets, the better Woodmont and Abbottsford properties, and most of Green Hills proper’s listings.

Upper Luxury: $3M to $5.5M

The newer construction on Tyne Boulevard, Graybar Lane, the better Hobbs Road properties, and the renovated estate-scale homes in the deeper sub-areas. Recent top closings sit in this band.

Trophy Tier: $5.5M+

Limited inventory. The very top of Green Hills’ market typically caps at $6M-$7M for traditional luxury and reaches into Forest Hills territory above that. Buyers shopping above $7M generally cross-shop into Forest Hills, Belle Meade, or Williamson County estates.

Living in Green Hills

Green Hills’ daily rhythm centers on Hill Center and the Mall at Green Hills, both within a five-minute drive of nearly every Green Hills address. The Bluebird Cafe sits in the neighborhood. Sperry’s is minutes away in Belle Meade. The dining scene anchors at a mix of Hill Center restaurants, Saint Anejo, and the longer-tenured neighborhood favorites along Hillsboro Pike.

Green Hills sits seven to twelve minutes from downtown Nashville, eight minutes to Belle Meade, six minutes to Forest Hills, and twenty-five minutes to Brentwood depending on traffic. The neighborhood’s central Davidson County position is one of its core advantages for buyers prioritizing commute flexibility.

Green Hills is served by Metro Nashville Public Schools with assigned attendance zones by street address. Several private schools (Harpeth Hall, Montgomery Bell Academy, Ensworth, Lipscomb Academy, Christ Presbyterian Academy) draw enrollment from Green Hills. Specific public school assignments depend on the exact street address and Grant verifies zoning during showings.

Percy Warner Park is six minutes northwest. Radnor Lake State Park is four minutes south. The neighborhood’s park access is among the best in Davidson County.

The Hill Center is the 270,000-square-foot mixed-use retail and restaurant district at the center of Green Hills, anchored by Apple, Whole Foods, Anthropologie, and a dense concentration of dining including Etch Brasserie, Burger Up, and Henrietta Red’s sister concepts. Walkability to the Hill Center is one of the primary drivers of pricing for homes within a half-mile radius.

How does Green Hills compare to Belle Meade?

Green Hills offers a younger, more walkable luxury profile centered on the Hill Center retail district, with wider price tier variety starting closer to $1 million.

Are short-term rentals allowed in Green Hills?

Short-term rentals in Green Hills follow standard Davidson County Metro Nashville zoning rules, which permit owner-occupied STRs in most residential zones and restrict non-owner-occupied STRs to specific commercial and mixed-use parcels. Buyers planning STR use should verify the specific parcel’s zoning before closing, since regulations vary block by block.
