Discovering Forest Hills

Living in Forest Hills

Forest Hills is an affluent residential enclave just south of Green Hills, in ZIP codes 37215 and 37220. It's actually its own small city inside Davidson County, known for large wooded lots, custom estates, and a quiet, almost-rural feel minutes from the city. People come here for privacy and space close to town.

Forest Hills Home Prices and Market

Forest Hills is a small, high-end market, so sales are limited. Only a handful of homes sold in the month ending September 2026, too few for a reliable monthly median. For context, homes actively listed averaged around $4.7 million. Expect large custom estates on multi-acre lots, with prices that swing widely based on size, land, and finish.

Estates, Lots, and Land

Forest Hills is defined by its land. Lots are large, often two acres or more, with mature trees and rolling terrain. You'll find everything from mid-century ranches on big parcels to new custom estates. There's no commercial development inside the city, which keeps the whole area residential, green, and quiet.

Parks, Schools, and Everyday Life

Radnor Lake State Natural Area is the crown jewel nearby, with popular hiking trails and wildlife. The Warner Parks are a short drive for more trails and a golf course. Metro schools serve the area, and many families also choose the private schools clustered in nearby Green Hills. Everyday shopping is just north at the Mall at Green Hills.

Getting Around

Despite the secluded feel, Forest Hills is close to everything. Franklin Pike, Granny White Pike, and Hillsboro Pike run through or near the area, and I-65 is a short drive east. Downtown Nashville is about 15 to 20 minutes away outside of rush hour, and the airport is roughly 25 minutes across town.
