Jackson’s Manor Meets Pontoon Weekends

🧭Generally defined as the area: Cumberland River and Old Hickory Boulevard to the north, Wilson County line at Mount Juliet to the east, J Percy Priest Lake and Stewarts Ferry Pike to the south, Stones River and Donelson around McGavock Pike to the west.

📌Widely recognized as the place for: the preserved plantation home of the 7th U.S. President, Andrew Jackson, Percy Priest Lake and Stones River Greenway, lakeside grills, and a ritual weekend Costco migration.

👕You'll fit in if: you wave from driveways and discuss boat horsepower casually, while loving history and the water.

👍Locals live here because: they value lake access, backyard sprawl, affordability, good schools, a quiet community, and quick runs to BNA.

👎The downside to Hermitage is: Lebanon Pike traffic, airplane hum, and nagging HOA letters about boats.

✨The overall feel is: suburban chill with historical bragging.

suburban legends, lake junkies, and history nerds with boats.
