About Lake Living

Living on Old Hickory Lake in Hendersonville offers a unique blend of peaceful waterfront living with easy access to Nashville, just 20–25 minutes away. Residents enjoy boating, fishing, and kayaking year-round, with stunning sunsets over the water. The lake community is family-friendly with excellent schools in the Sumner County district, and property values have historically appreciated well due to the limited supply of waterfront homes.
Home & Lake serves the Old Hickory Lake communities including Hendersonville, Gallatin, Old Hickory, and Mount Juliet, Tennessee. These communities are all within a short commute of downtown Nashville and offer varying waterfront and lake-adjacent living options on Old Hickory Lake.
Hendersonville has several sought-after neighborhoods and ZIP codes including 37075, 37066, 37138, 37115, and 37122. The lakefront areas along Old Hickory Lake are the most prestigious, with properties along Burton Point Road, Shoreside Drive, and Bluegrass Drive among the most desirable.

Many residents appreciate the easy access to Nashville's dining, entertainment, and employment while enjoying the quieter, waterfront lifestyle that Hendersonville and Old Hickory Lake provide.
Buying a lakefront home on Old Hickory Lake involves unique considerations beyond a typical home purchase. These include understanding dock permits and regulations from the Army Corps of Engineers, flood zone designations and insurance requirements, water access types (year-round vs. seasonal), seawall conditions, and the distinction between main channel and cove properties. Working with a REALTOR® who specializes in lake properties ensures you understand these nuances before making one of the largest investments of your life.
