SMYRNA’S ROCKY FORD ROAD COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Blakeney sits off Rocky Ford Road in Smyrna, Tennessee 37167, with homes spread across Doster Road, Walsham Drive, Hanworth Trace, Earlham Court, Kenwyn Pass, and Saxlingham Place. The neighborhood is part of Rutherford County, one of Middle Tennessee’s fastest-growing counties, and it puts residents close to everything the Smyrna corridor has to offer without the pace of Nashville.

Interstate 24 access is quick from Blakeney, putting downtown Nashville roughly 25 minutes away and Murfreesboro about 15 minutes in the other direction. Sam Ridley Parkway is a short drive for Kroger, Publix, and a dense lineup of restaurants and retail. The Nissan North America plant, one of Rutherford County’s largest employers, sits nearby and has helped fuel steady growth across this part of Smyrna.

Blakeney was built as a walkable community from the start. Sidewalks line the streets, a network of walking trails connects the neighborhood, and residents have access to open space, a picnic area, a pavilion, a playground, and a splash pad. Cedar Stone Park sits close by for additional outdoor recreation.

The Homes

Blakeney is built primarily by Regent Homes and Harpeth Valley Homes, with Smith Douglas Homes also active in the community on select sections. Construction has continued steadily since 2021, with new phases like the Kenwyn Pass and Saxlingham Place sections still delivering homes today.

The community offers two distinct home types. Single-family homes range from roughly 1,620 to 2,714 square feet, typically with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 3 full bathrooms, and closed between $435,000 and $559,999 over the past 12 months. Townhomes run smaller, from about 1,367 to 1,547 square feet, and closed between $331,403 and $385,000 in the same period.

Regent Homes’ floor plans in Blakeney include the Eppes and the Ripley, both known for coffered ceilings, quartz countertops, and primary suites with tub-and-shower configurations.

Amenities

Blakeney was designed with an active lifestyle in mind. Sidewalks run throughout the community, and a network of walking trails connects residents to open green space. A pavilion and picnic area give the neighborhood a gathering spot, and a playground with a splash pad rounds out the amenity package for families with younger children.

Beyond the neighborhood, Cedar Stone Park is close by for sports fields and additional playground space. The Sam Ridley Parkway corridor puts a wide range of dining, fitness, and retail options within a short drive, and Smyrna’s broader park system continues to expand alongside the city’s growth.

Schools

Blakeney is located in Rutherford County and served by Rutherford County Schools. Based on closed MLS sales, the large majority of homes are zoned for Stewarts Creek Elementary School, Stewarts Creek Middle School, and Stewarts Creek High School. A smaller pocket of the community is zoned for Brown’s Chapel Elementary School, with the same middle and high school assignments.

Stewarts Creek High School is a newer campus that opened to serve Smyrna’s growing eastern and central neighborhoods, and Rutherford County Schools has invested heavily in facilities to keep pace with the county’s population growth. Always confirm current school zoning directly with Rutherford County Schools before purchase, since attendance boundaries can shift over time.
