Oak Hill, just south of Nashville, is home to the Governor’s mansion, also known as the Tennessee Residence. Built in 1931, the Tennessee Residence became the governor’s official home in 1949 and is just one of the many splendid houses in this entirely residential neighborhood. Though Oak Hill has no commercial establishments, it’s so close to downtown Nashville, Green Hills, and Brentwood that it never feels isolated or inconvenient. Lake Radnor, a 1,368-acre park, is a favorite place for nature lovers to visit, with plenty of hiking and biking paths, kayaking opportunities, as well as a trail that’s accessible for wheelchair users. Oak Hill is its own city but is also considered a part of Metropolitan Nashville. As such, the town’s two public schools are part of the Metro Nashville Public Schools system and there are several private schools as well.
