The Area
Oak Hill is a strictly residential satellite city inside Davidson County, incorporated in 1952 just before Nashville and Davidson merged. It covers about eight square miles and some 1,800 homes, sitting between Green Hills and Brentwood about five miles south of the State Capitol. Most of Radnor Lake and the Tennessee Governor's Residence sit within its limits.
Twenty-five homes closed above $2M in 37220, at a $4,250,000 median and $603 per square foot — the highest postcode-level luxury median in Davidson County. The median house in that tier ran 6,356 square feet on 1.28 acres, the largest in the county. Across the Oak Hill subdivisions, 26 sales cleared $2M at a $3,340,000 median, topping out at $8,450,000 on the Franklin Pike corridor.

The majority of homes were built between roughly 1950 and 1980, giving a core of mid-century ranches and traditional brick colonials, with newer custom builds replacing older stock. Zoning permits only single-family dwellings, churches and schools, so lots stay large and wooded.

Just over 1,400 acres around an 85-acre lake on Otter Creek Road, Tennessee's first designated State Natural Area. Its 7.75 miles of trail are reserved for walking and wildlife observation — jogging is prohibited throughout, and bicycles are confined to a single trail. Open from six in the morning until twenty minutes after sunset.
Built in 1799 by John Overton, Andrew Jackson's law partner, the house on Farrell Parkway is open for guided tours Tuesday to Saturday. Interpretation covers roughly a thousand years of the site, from a Mississippian settlement occupied around 1270 to 1450 through the Overton family and the enslaved people who worked the property. It served as Confederate headquarters during the Battle of Nashville in December 1864.
Known as Far Hills, the three-storey Georgian house was commissioned privately in 1929 and sits on ten acres in Oak Hill, five miles south of the State Capitol. The state bought it in 1949 and it has housed Tennessee's governors since. A 2010 addition put Conservation Hall — 14,000 square feet seating 160 — underground beneath a glass-walled oval atrium.

Fine dining in Maryland Manor, the old estate house that gave Maryland Farms its name. Founded in 1985 on Second Avenue downtown by Rodney Wise — who named it for his great-grandmother, nicknamed Mother Bubbles for her love of champagne — it moved to the Brentwood mansion in 2000. A Williamson County occasion room, with a back patio and fire pit and a long-running Sunday brunch.
The original ran twenty years before closing in 2008; it was revived in 2015 and now operates on Richard Jones Road. California-revival casual dining — a 175-seat room, a forty-seat patio and a full bar — serving lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.
