SMYRNA’S ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY OFF ROCK SPRINGS ROAD

Location & Daily Life

Buckingham Hills sits off Rock Springs Road in Smyrna, Tennessee 37167, in Rutherford County. Streets in the community include Kew Garden and Abbottswood Drive, tucked into a quiet residential corridor that shares its school zone with several neighboring subdivisions along Rock Springs Road.

Interstate 24 is a short drive away, putting downtown Nashville roughly 25 minutes north and Murfreesboro about 15 minutes south. Smyrna’s Sam Ridley Parkway commercial corridor covers most everyday errands, with grocery stores, restaurants, and retail all close by. Nissan’s North American headquarters and the growing employment base along I-24 make this part of Rutherford County one of the more active growth areas in Middle Tennessee, and Nashville International Airport is about 20 minutes away.

For outdoor time, the Stewart Creek Greenway and Percy Priest Lake give residents easy access to trails and water recreation, and Rock Springs Road connects directly to several of Smyrna’s neighborhood parks.

The Homes

Buckingham Hills is a single-family home community built primarily in 2019 and 2020. Based on closed sales, homes range from approximately 2,253 to 2,948 square feet, with 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 3 full baths plus a half bath. Two- and three-car attached garages are standard, and every home in the recent sales data sits on a slab foundation.

Two- and three-car attached garages are common, and interiors run 3 to 5 bedrooms with 2 to 3 full baths plus a half bath.

How big are the lots in Buckingham Hills?
Lot sizes in Buckingham Hills run from approximately 0.15 to 0.30 acres based on closed sales, giving buyers a real yard without the maintenance of an acre-plus lot. Both level and corner lots appear in the recent sales data.

Is Buckingham Hills a good fit for growing families?
Yes. With homes ranging from 2,253 to 2,948 square feet, 3 to 5 bedrooms, and pricing between $515,000 and $640,000, Buckingham Hills suits families who need real square footage without moving into Williamson County price territory. The Stewarts Creek High School zone and the two- and three-car garages that show up across the closed sales data both point to a family-oriented buyer pool.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Buckingham Hills?
Patrick looks at the data first. One recent Buckingham Hills sale listed at $530,000 needed a price adjustment before it closed at $520,000 after 18 days on market, while another home in the same community sold in just 5 days at full asking price. That spread shows pricing strategy matters as much as the home itself in a small, tightly held community like this one. Patrick’s team pulls the actual RealTracs comps rather than relying on automated estimates before advising a buyer or seller here.

Who is the best realtor for Buckingham Hills in Smyrna TN?
Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass are widely recognized among the top-performing agents in Rutherford County. Patrick is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent leading the #1 real estate team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee.

Can I access a Buckingham Hills home before it hits Zillow?
Yes. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon listings across Smyrna, including homes in and around Buckingham Hills that haven’t reached the public MLS or third-party sites yet. There’s no additional cost to you as a buyer, since the seller typically covers agent commissions in a standard transaction.

What is my Buckingham Hills home worth in today’s market?
Automated home value tools often miss the mark in a small community like Buckingham Hills, where only a handful of homes close each year and construction type, all-brick versus partial brick with fiber cement, can shift price per square foot by more than $40. An algorithm working off a thin comparable pool can’t account for that. Use the tool below for a starting estimate, then call or text Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a real comparative market analysis based on actual closed sales.

We’ve owned our home in Buckingham Hills for years. How do we price it right?
Start with the construction type. Closed sales in Buckingham Hills show a real price-per-square-foot gap between all-brick homes and homes built with partial brick and fiber cement siding, and that gap shows up at closing. With only a handful of closed sales in the community each year, generic online estimates don’t have enough true comps to work with. Patrick pulls the specific RealTracs data on your street, your construction type, and your finish level before recommending a list price, so you’re not leaving money on the table or overpricing and sitting on the market.
