Green Hills

 

Green Hills is a relatively affluent neighborhood in Nashville. Though there were some plans to incorporate Green Hills into a town in the 1950's, this was never completed.

 

Green Hills is located south of downtown Nashville on Hillsboro Road (U.S. Highway 431). Home to The Mall at Green Hills, a high-end enclosed shopping center, and Hill Center, a village-style shopping center, Green Hills is Nashville's shopping destination. Hillsboro High School, located directly across the highway from the Mall, actually predates much of the neighborhood, which began on a small scale in the 1930s but was not highly populated until after World War II. Another public educational institution is Julia Green Elementary School, a primary school. A major private educational institution is Lipscomb University and its associated elementary and high schools. Another is Harpeth Hall School, a prestigious girls' high school.
