West Meade & Hillwood
Large wooded lots, mid-century bones, and serious new construction — one of the areas we know best.
West Meade and Hillwood sit just west of Belle Meade, and together they form one of the areas the Knabe Home Team works most heavily. It is a core listing market for us — we currently represent two of the highest-priced homes on the market here, and we have closed repeatedly on the streets around them.
What defines the area
The through-line is land. Lots here run large by Davidson County standards, heavily wooded and rolling, on curving streets laid out to follow the terrain rather than a grid. That topography is the reason the area has held its character while denser neighborhoods closer in were subdivided.
The housing stock splits three ways. There is a deep supply of original mid-century ranches and split-levels, many on lots worth more than the house. There is a steady flow of substantial renovations. And at the top end there is genuine custom new construction on estate-sized parcels — the tier where we do much of our work.
The pockets worth knowing

- Brook Meade — quieter, wooded, consistently in demand
- Charlotte Park — the entry point to the west side, smaller lots and
largest lots and the highest price ceiling

Who it suits
Buyers who want acreage and mature trees without leaving Davidson County. The area appeals strongly to people trading a tight in-town lot for real space while staying fifteen minutes from downtown. It also draws buyers who want to build: teardown-and-rebuild is an established pattern here, and land value supports it.
What to watch on price
This is a wide market. An original ranch needing work and a new custom home on an estate lot can sit on the same street with a multi-million dollar gap between them. Comparables have to be chosen carefully — square footage alone will mislead you here more than in almost any other Nashville submarket. Condition, lot size, and whether the land supports a rebuild all move the number substantially.
Percy Warner Park sits on the eastern edge, and proximity to it carries a premium of its own.
