Hermitage is located immediately to the east of Donelson, another Nashville borough which is named in honor of Jackson's father-in-law John Donelson, and just to the west of Mount Juilet in adjacent Wilson County. A rural area only thirty years ago, Hermitage is now a thriving suburb with a highly-developed network of retail stores and typical suburban tract houses ranging from the "starter home" to the "executive residence". An array of apartments exists as well. Major throughfares include U.S. Highway 70, Interstate 40, and Tennessee Highway 45.

Hermitage is divided from Donelson by the Stones River and its bottom lands, Clover Bottom. It has benefitted greatly from the empoundment of the Stones by J. Percy Priest Dam, a nearby United States Army Corps of Engineers project, which provides a great deal of recreation opportunities, particularly in the summer months, and which has contributed greatly to the desirability and value of rhe area's real estate. Hermitage and Donelson are often thought of as something of a unit, and even have a joint Chamber of Commerce and Christmas parade.
