ABOUT FOREST HILLS

An incorporated city within Nashville — and one of the most sought-after addresses in Middle Tennessee.

Forest Hills isn't just a neighborhood — it's its own incorporated city, and that distinction matters. Strict single-family zoning, a Hillside Protection Overlay, and a deeply engaged civic community have kept Forest Hills exactly what it was always meant to be: a private, wooded, estate-style enclave just minutes from everything Nashville has to offer.

Homes here range from lovingly preserved mid-century ranches to sprawling custom new builds, with lots that feel more like personal nature reserves than suburban yards. If you value land, privacy, and a neighborhood that has actively protected its own character, Forest Hills is unlike anywhere else in the city.

LIFE IN FOREST HILLS

Radnor Lake & Percy Warner Parks

Two of Middle Tennessee's most beloved natural spaces sit right on Forest Hills' doorstep. Morning hikes, evening walks, and miles of trails — without ever leaving the neighborhood.

Richland Country Club

The 170-acre Richland Country Club sits in the heart of Forest Hills on the former Battle of Nashville site — offering golf, dining, and a tight-knit social community.

A real community feel

The Forest Hills Neighborhood Association is one of the most active in Nashville, hosting events and maintaining the civic engagement that has kept this community special for decades.
