Hermitage
Hermitage is a family-friendly Nashville community just east of downtown, known for its deep history, lake-day lifestyle, and easy access to outdoor recreation. Home to The Hermitage—Andrew Jackson’s historic estate, the area also offers summer fun at Nashville Shores on J. Percy Priest Lake, plus miles of trails and lake access at Long Hunter State Park. With everyday shopping nodes along Lebanon Pike and Old Hickory Blvd, Hermitage blends “close-to-the-city” convenience with weekends that naturally drift outdoors.
