Old Hickory provides homes ranging from waterfront properties with docks to lake-view homes and established neighborhoods for various lifestyles and financial budgets. It maintains its small-town character despite serving 23,000 residents in 2025 because it provides perfect conditions for residents who commute to work or travel while living near Nashville.
Old Hickory holds significance as a historic community. The town received its name from President Andrew Jackson who received the moniker "Old Hickory" because of his strong personality.
