Candlewood

SPRING HILL’S ESTABLISHED WILLIAMSON COUNTY NEIGHBORHOOD

Location & Daily Life

Candlewood is an established single-family neighborhood located along TN-247 (Duplex Road) between I-65 and the heart of Spring Hill, Tennessee. The community sits entirely within Williamson County and the 37174 zip code, giving residents access to Williamson County Schools, one of the highest-rated public school districts in Tennessee.

The Duplex Road location provides quick access to both I-65 and the Port Royal Road commercial corridor. Saturn Parkway is a short drive for Nashville-bound commuters, and the growing retail and dining options along Main Street and Port Royal Road handle most daily errands without a long drive. The neighborhood is surrounded by other established Williamson County communities including Baker Springs, Augusta Place, and Wyngate Estates.

Streets in Candlewood include Candlelite Drive, Hearthside Drive, and Tallow Trace. The community spans multiple sections, with homes dating from the late 1990s through the early 2000s. Over two decades of maturity means fully established landscaping, settled foundations, and a quiet, residential feel that newer developments are still years away from achieving.

The Homes

Candlewood homes were built between 1998 and 2003 across multiple sections. The community is fully built out with no active new construction. Construction styles include partial brick with vinyl siding, all brick with vinyl siding, and partial brick exteriors. Floor plans are a mix of 1.5-story and 2-story designs, with traditional architectural styling throughout.

Based on recent closed sales, homes in Candlewood range from 1,473 to 1,947 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. All homes include 2-car attached front-entry garages. Lot sizes run from 0.24 to 0.47 acres, significantly larger than many nearby communities. The 0.47-acre lot on Tallow Trace is particularly notable for the Spring Hill market, where lots above a quarter acre are increasingly rare in this price range.

There is no HOA in Candlewood. For buyers who want to avoid monthly association dues entirely while still getting a Williamson County address and school zone, Candlewood and nearby Augusta Place are among the few remaining options in the area.

Amenities

Candlewood is a residential neighborhood with no HOA, no community pool, and no clubhouse. The absence of an HOA means no monthly or annual dues and no architectural review restrictions, which appeals to buyers who prefer fewer covenants and lower carrying costs.

The appeal of Candlewood is its combination of a Williamson County address, larger lot sizes (up to nearly half an acre), and a price point that remains accessible relative to newer construction. The community’s maturity means established shade trees, full landscaping, and a settled neighborhood character. For buyers who want pool amenities, nearby Port Royal Estates and Somerset Springs offer those features at different price points.

Schools

Candlewood is located entirely in Williamson County, and all homes are zoned for Williamson County Schools. Based on recent closed sales data, school assignments for Candlewood addresses are:

Elementary: Chapman’s Retreat Elementary School
Middle: Spring Station Middle School
High: Summit High School

Williamson County Schools is one of the highest-rated public school districts in Tennessee. The WCS assignment is a significant differentiator for Candlewood buyers. Not all Spring Hill 37174 addresses fall within Williamson County; many are in Maury County with a different school system. Every home in Candlewood carries a Williamson County address and Williamson County Schools assignment.

Over the past 12 months, the three Candlewood homes that sold closed between $416,000 and $464,900, with a median sale price of $424,900. The price spread reflects differences in square footage (1,473 to 1,947 sq ft), lot size (0.24 to 0.47 acres), and the year built (1998 vs. 2003).

Does Candlewood have an HOA?

No. Candlewood has no homeowners association, no monthly or annual dues, and no architectural review restrictions. This is uncommon for Williamson County neighborhoods in Spring Hill and is a meaningful selling point for buyers who want lower carrying costs and more freedom with their property. Nearby Augusta Place is another no-HOA option in the area.

What schools serve Candlewood?

Candlewood is zoned for Williamson County Schools: Chapman’s Retreat Elementary School, Spring Station Middle School, and Summit High School. All homes carry a Williamson County address, which means access to one of the highest-rated public school districts in Tennessee.

When was Candlewood built?

Candlewood was built between 1998 and 2003 across multiple sections. The community is fully built out with no new construction. Buyers purchasing here benefit from over 20 years of established landscaping, settled foundations, and a long sales history to evaluate pricing trends.

How big are the lots in Candlewood?

Lot sizes in Candlewood range from 0.24 to 0.47 acres. The larger lots, particularly the nearly half-acre parcels on Tallow Trace, are a significant differentiator in the Spring Hill market where lots above a quarter acre are increasingly rare at this price point. For buyers who prioritize yard space and a Williamson County address, Candlewood offers more acreage than most comparable communities.

Is Candlewood in Williamson County or Maury County?

Candlewood is entirely within Williamson County. All three closed sales in the past 12 months carried a Williamson County address. This is an important distinction in Spring Hill, where the county line splits the city and determines school zones, property tax rates, and future growth planning. Buyers comparing Candlewood to nearby Maury County communities like Dartford or Ridgeport should weigh the school zone difference carefully.

Is Candlewood a good fit for buyers who want a Williamson County home under $500,000?

Candlewood is one of the strongest options for that buyer profile. The $416,000 to $464,900 price range puts all recent sales under $500,000 with a Williamson County address, WCS school zoning, no HOA, and lots up to nearly half an acre. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath floor plans in the 1,400 to 1,950 square foot range work well for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone prioritizing school zone and lot size over square footage. For similar options, compare Baker Springs ($360K-$483K with a $240/year HOA) and Augusta Place ($400K-$420K, also no HOA).

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Candlewood?

Candlewood’s no-HOA status and wide lot size range (0.24 to 0.47 acres) mean that comparable sales require careful adjustment. Two homes on the same street can differ by $50,000 or more based on lot size, construction year, and interior updates. Patrick draws on comparable sales from Candlewood and nearby Williamson County communities like Baker Springs and Cochran Trace to build accurate pricing models. With Compass representing 33.3% of Candlewood transactions in the past 12 months, Patrick has direct insight into how this micro-market moves.
