Hermitage offers plenty of recreation, shopping and dining options and a bit more affordability than some of the suburbs on the east side of the Nashville metro. This large community on the city’s east end is named after the Hermitage, the former home of President Andrew Jackson and now a local attraction. Hermitage has many smaller housing communities located around shopping areas with big-box retailers, grocery stores and restaurants serving items like pizza, barbecue and Mexican fare. The community is right between Old Hickory and Percy Priest lakes, both of which are major outdoor destinations.
Percy Priest Lake is located approximately three miles south of Hermitage.
Stewarts Ferry Running Trail connects to the broader Stones River Greenway system.

Buyers can find homes from several generations
Most of the homes in Hermitage were built between the mid-20th century and today. With many of them located along roads with no sidewalks, homes here range from Craftsman bungalows and ranch-style homes to Colonial Revivals, New Traditionals and contemporary homes. The community has many renters who make up nearly half of the residents. “I focus on renting out clients’ homes, and it’s very popular for renting,” says Juli Schumann, managing broker of Sound City Realty.
Modern brick ranch homes are also found throughout the neighborhood.
Custom lakeside homes provide upscale housing options.
Split-level homes remain a popular architectural style in the area.

Hermitage is less expensive than Nashville and nearby suburbs
“Hermitage is not so much a neighborhood, but a small community full of affordable homes occupied by predominantly working-class families,’ says Diane Journell, a Realtor at Benchmark Realty. Hermitage’s median sale price of $400,000 is over $100,000 below Nashville’s and even lower than the nearby suburbs of Mount Juliet and Hendersonville.
Size is a cost factor here, and many homes that are 2,000 square feet or less sell from the mid $200,000s to the upper $500,000s. Larger homes can range between $400,000 and $800,000. Townhouses can go from the lower $200,000s to the lower $400,000s.
The neighborhood has many shopping and dining options
Kroger, Walmart and Lowe’s are a few of the chain stores in the area, while the community has a large and diverse mix of restaurants:
Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe is a casual chain serving Greek fare.
Whitt’s Barbecue has down-home cooking and smoked meats.
Gondola House Pizzeria has warm pies.
JB’s Pour House offers beers and a place to catch up on sports.
Nadeen’s Hermitage Haven has coffee with bourbon and chicken and waffles.
“It’s also not far from the community of Mount Juliet, where there’s a lot of shopping in the Providence area of Mount Juliet,” Schumann says.
Sunflower Bakehouse offers gluten-free and vegan baked goods.
Nectar Urban Cantina serves breakfast tacos and casual fare.
Momento serves freshly roasted coffee within the community.
Publix provides additional grocery options.

There is plenty of outdoor and water recreation
Percy Priest Lake is a massive outdoor destination, and several parks along the shore provide access to the 14,000-acre reservoir. “A lot of locals take their boats south to Percy Priest Lake, or they walk their dogs and sunbathe by the shore,” Journell says. Long Hunter State Park has a few boat ramps along the lake, and anglers there can catch bass, catfish and bream. Hiking and biking are popular activities at the park, which has more than 30 miles of trails that pass through a few habitats. If you’re looking for water activities but don’t want to get into the lake, there’s the Nashville Shores Water Park with its many tall and twisting waterslides.
Old Hickory Lake offers similar activities to Percy Priest, while Ravenwood Park is another popular outdoor spot that also has a modern playground, workout stations and a basketball court. Ravenwood offers access to the Stones River Greenway, a roughly 11-mile, tree-lined path.
Long Hunter State Park offers lake access and outdoor recreation opportunities.
Cook Public Use Area provides lake access and outdoor recreation space.
Hermitage Golf Course is known for its resident blackface sheep and scenic fairways.
Crooked Creek Park features paved walking trails and open green space.

Events here include April’s Sip of History, which gives visitors a taste of Tennessee culture by letting them sample whiskeys for a few hours.
