Hendersonville

Known as the home of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Taylor Swift & a host of other celebrities.

Welcome to Hendersonville

“The City By The Lake” is a top bedroom community of Nashville with 26 miles of shoreline on Old Hickory Lake and strategically located 18 miles NE of the center of downtown Nashville. Also only 20 miles from Nashville's International Airport. While it is home to the oldest house in TN, Hendersonville was first incorporated in 1969. Hendersonville may best be known as the home of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Taylor Swift & a host of other celebrities, but this quiet community is warmly welcoming with their unique blend of suburban lake living and spacious country surroundings that allow you to live, work & play all in one beautiful setting.
 
A little-known fact is that some lakefront residents with ocean-going vessels take annual trips leaving from their docks to the Cumberland River to the Ohio River to the Mississippi and all the way down to the Gulf eventually returning home by way of the Atlantic Ocean via the Great Lakes. Hendersonville truly is “The City By The Lake.”
