Oak Hill

Oak Hill is one of Nashville's most private, green enclaves, an incorporated city of large wooded estates just south of Green Hills. It's known for big lots, mature trees, quiet low-density streets, and Radnor Lake State Natural Area. Strictly residential zoning keeps it calm and leafy, which makes it one of the area's most exclusive places to live.

Oak Hill is a small, high-end market where only a few homes sell each month, so a single month's median isn't reliable. As of September 2026, active listings carry a median asking price around $2 million, and the average runs well above that because of a few large estates. These homes tend to take time to sell, so supply stays high.

Oak Hill is almost entirely single-family and strictly residential, with no commercial development by city ordinance. You'll find large custom and estate homes on big, wooded lots, many an acre or more, set well back from quiet, winding roads. Styles range from mid-century classics to newer custom builds, with privacy and mature landscaping throughout.

Oak Hill is served by Metro Nashville Public Schools, with homes zoned by location across ZIPs 37204, 37215, and 37220. The area is also well known for nearby private schools, including Franklin Road Academy. Between the public and private options close by, families have a solid range of choices without a long drive.

Radnor Lake State Natural Area sits right in Oak Hill and is the standout, with miles of trails, a quiet lake, and protected wildlife just minutes from home. The historic Travellers Rest site is nearby as well. Between the natural area and the area's heavily wooded streets, green space is never far in Oak Hill.

Oak Hill itself has no commercial development, so residents head a few minutes north to Green Hills for shopping and dining. The Mall at Green Hills, Hill Center, and the restaurants along Hillsboro Pike cover most needs. Groceries and everyday services sit close by in the surrounding neighborhoods, so errands stay quick.

Even though it feels tucked away, Oak Hill is close in. Franklin Pike, Franklin Road, and Granny White Pike feed quickly onto I-65, so downtown Nashville is usually about 15 to 20 minutes outside rush hour. Nashville International Airport typically runs around 20 minutes by car, which is easy for travelers.
