Bent Tree

SMYRNA’S ESTABLISHED SINGLE-FAMILY COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Bent Tree is an established single-family subdivision tucked into the heart of Smyrna, Tennessee, just off Nissan Drive in the 37167 zip code. The neighborhood sits in a convenient pocket of Rutherford County, giving residents quick access to Interstate 24 and Sam Ridley Parkway for commutes toward Nashville, Murfreesboro, or La Vergne.

The Nissan North America manufacturing plant is just minutes away, making Bent Tree a practical choice for Nissan employees and contractors. Everyday conveniences are close at hand: the Smyrna Town Center, Kroger, and a range of dining options along Sam Ridley Parkway are all within a short drive. Smyrna’s greenway system and recreational parks round out the daily-life appeal for families and active adults alike.

Streets within Bent Tree include Adeline Drive, Highpoint Drive, Oakhaven Drive, Bayhill Court, Rosemary Street, and Valleydale Street. The subdivision is made up of Sections 3 and 4, both developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, giving the neighborhood a mature, settled character with established trees and well-maintained yards.

The Homes

Homes in Bent Tree were built between 1988 and 1990, and the neighborhood reflects the construction quality of that era: solid all-brick and brick-and-vinyl exterior finishes, with some homes featuring partial brick and hardboard siding. You will find a mix of ranch-style one-story homes and traditional two-story floor plans, giving buyers options in terms of layout and lifestyle.

Square footage ranges from approximately 1,367 to nearly 3,819 square feet, meaning both smaller ranch homes and larger multi-story properties exist within the same community. Lot sizes are notably generous for an established Smyrna neighborhood, running from 0.29 to 0.45 acres. Most homes include a two-car garage. Bedrooms range from 3 to 5 and bathrooms from 2 to 3 full baths, often with a half bath on the main floor.

One of the standout features of Bent Tree is the absence of an HOA. There are no association fees or deed restrictions governing the community, which appeals to buyers who want the character of an established neighborhood without the overhead of annual dues or the rules that come with managed communities.

Amenities

Bent Tree is a straightforward residential neighborhood without a community clubhouse, pool, or HOA-managed amenities. That is part of its appeal for many buyers: you get the size of yard, the brick construction, and the location without paying dues for amenities you may not use.

The broader Smyrna community more than makes up for the absence of on-site amenities. Smyrna’s J. Percy Priest Lake access is nearby for boating, fishing, and weekend recreation. The city also maintains a network of parks and greenways. Sam Davis Youth Complex is one of the larger athletic facilities in the area, serving youth sports year-round.

For shopping and dining, the area around Smyrna Town Center provides a solid mix of national retailers, restaurants, and grocery options. More destination shopping in Murfreesboro and the La Vergne corridor is under 20 minutes away.

Schools

Bent Tree is located in Rutherford County, and homes in the subdivision are zoned for the Smyrna cluster of Rutherford County Schools. Based on closed sales data from RealTracs MLS, the assigned schools are:

Elementary: Smyrna Elementary School
Middle: Smyrna Middle School
High School: Smyrna High School

Rutherford County Schools is a strong district overall, with multiple schools recognized at the state level for academic performance. Buyers should always confirm school assignments directly with Rutherford County Schools or the listing agent, as zone boundaries can shift.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass, a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and the leader of the #1 real estate team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee (Wall Street Journal RealTrends). With over 1,100 transactions and $500M+ in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee, Patrick brings data and experience that thin competitor pages simply cannot match.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. After merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold in Tennessee, giving buyers and sellers access to the largest agent referral network in real estate. That network matters when you are looking for a home in a tight-inventory neighborhood like Bent Tree, where listed homes move and off-market opportunities emerge through agent relationships.

It is worth noting that in the rolling 12-month closed sales data for Bent Tree, no Compass-affiliated agent appeared on either side of a transaction. That is precisely why buyers and sellers here benefit most from working with an agent who is deeply connected across Rutherford County’s broader market and can bring attention from Compass’s national network when it counts.

For Sellers: The Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy

Compass’s Three Phase Marketing Strategy gives sellers a structured runway to maximize demand before a home ever hits the public MLS. Here is how it works for a Bent Tree home:

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Your home is marketed to a select audience of Compass buyers and agents first, letting you test pricing and gather real-time feedback without accumulating public days on market or a visible price history.

Phase 2 – Compass Coming Soon: Your listing goes live on Compass.com, where motivated buyers can find your home and build excitement before the public launch. No days on market clock. No price history exposure.

Phase 3 – Public Launch: Maximum visibility across the MLS and all third-party platforms, with demand already warmed up from the first two phases.

Homes marketed through this approach close at a 2.9% higher price on average, go to contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction. For a Bent Tree home in the $380,000 range, that 2.9% premium translates to roughly $11,000 in additional proceeds.
