A low-key lifestyle near downtown Nashville
Old Hickory Village offers a low-key lifestyle beside the catfishing waters of the Cumberland River. "In Tennessee, there are certain lakes you can't live on, and then you have Old Hickory Lake, where you can," says Realtor Kathy Cochran of Cottage Realty. "The prices are expensive compared to other areas on the lake, but it's so convenient to downtown Nashville," she adds. Community anchors, like the prime fishing spot, Old Hickory Beach, are named after this small pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, initially built in 1918 as a company town for DuPont employees and supervisors. The plant is still here but less prominent, with a smaller workforce. Older homes are being renovated as people flock to Old Hickory for its waterside location, and the village is adding more retail options and upgrading its parks.
The Old Hickory mural celebrates the history of the historic community.
Old Hickory Village has multiple access points for boating on the lake.

Homes on Old Hickory Lake
Many of the homes in Old Hickory Village are, in fact, old. "A lot of the original cottages are still there. Some from the early 1900s," says Realtor Kathy Comp of The Real Estate Company, who specializes in the area. She says most are fixer-uppers, but buyers she's worked with appreciate the vintage quality and that they can renovate them to their liking. "They went there for the lake," she says, adding that the properties are nothing flashy. "You have a few bedrooms and a bath, a small kitchen and a very little bit of land," she adds. Spacious lots further from the village exist, but the area's gridded streets are elevated, which has advantages by a river: "Back in 2010 when we had a major flood, the village did not flood but some areas of old hickory did," Cochran says. Cottages begin in the $200,000s and rise to around $500,000 depending on the extent of renovations. A newish home on Old Hickory Lake over 3,000 square feet could go for $2 million.

Beautifying Old Hickory's green spaces
Residents enjoy small inland pocket parks, waterside green spaces, and nearby private and public golf courses. The village is also upping the ante on its offerings. A beautification project is in the works for the green space behind the art center on Robinson Road, where it's being transformed from an open field with a concrete slab into a tree-filled area with benches and trails. Metro Park is also working with the city of Nashville to fund and design a dog park at 12th Street Ball Field. Old Hickory Beach on Burnett Road offers a boat ramp, grills, grassy green areas for water gun fights and frisbee games, a sandy shore by the water, and mature trees for throwing a blanket down. A portion of its surrounding green space is devoted to manufacturing and shipping: DuPont, Berry Global Fiberware and more.
12th Street Ball Field is slated to become a dog park for the Old Hickory Village community.
Old Hickory Lake Park has a playground and a sand beach for everyone to enjoy during the Summer.

Easy trips downtown via I-45
"You can walk through the village. It's easy," Cochran said. While this is a pedestrian-friendly little neighborhood, locals might want a car to travel into downtown Nashville. The neighborhood's closeness to Interstate 45 makes that commute quicker. While there is a dental office in Old Hickory, hospitals are a bit of a drive, upward to 15 miles away.
Old Hickory Village is pedestrian friendly with most areas having a sidewalk for walking.
