Clear Creek

SMYRNA’S ESTABLISHED FAMILY COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Clear Creek sits off Almaville Road in Smyrna, Tennessee (37167), tucked into Rutherford County’s fastest-growing corridor. Residents here enjoy a genuine small-town pace with surprisingly short drives to everything they need. Interstate 24 is just minutes away, putting downtown Nashville roughly 25 miles to the northwest and Murfreesboro’s commercial core about 10 miles to the south.

Streets in Clear Creek include Red Tail Trail, Silver Fox Street, Springwater Street, and Elmview Court. The winding layout, generous lots, and creek-side settings give the neighborhood a distinct character that stands apart from the denser subdivisions nearby. Walking trails and a neighborhood playground are within the community itself, and Percy Priest Lake is a short drive for boating and outdoor recreation.

Day-to-day errands are easy. Sam’s Club, Kroger, Publix, Smyrna Town Centre, and dozens of restaurants are all within a few miles. Nissan’s North American manufacturing facility is a major local employer, and the area’s continued job growth has kept demand for Clear Creek homes strong.

The Homes

Clear Creek is a multi-phase, multi-builder community that began development in 2017 and has continued adding new sections through 2025. Builders who have constructed homes here include Willow Branch Homes, Prince Properties, Justin Butler Homes, and Southern Classic Homes, which accounts for the variety you’ll see in architectural style and interior finishes from one street to the next.

Construction ranges from all-brick exteriors to hardboard siding with stone or brick accents. Floor plans run from roughly 3,100 to just under 4,000 square feet, with most homes delivering four bedrooms, three to four full baths, and an attached three-car garage as standard. Lot sizes are a genuine standout for the area, ranging from about a quarter-acre to nearly an acre, with several backing up to the creek for added privacy and a natural buffer.

Interior finishes reflect the premium price point. Expect quartz countertops, custom cabinetry with soft-close hardware, luxury vinyl plank or hardwood-look flooring, gas fireplaces, primary suites with freestanding soaking tubs and tile showers, and open-concept layouts with 10-foot ceilings. Many recent builds also include smart-home technology, whole-yard irrigation systems, and covered patios with tongue-and-groove ceilings. Two-story layouts are the norm, with a small number of 1.5-story plans offering a second-floor bonus room or media room.

The neighborhood includes a playground and walking trails, giving families and outdoor enthusiasts a place to decompress without leaving the subdivision.

Schools

Clear Creek is entirely within Rutherford County, confirmed from MLS records. Children in most of the subdivision are zoned to Stewarts Creek Elementary School, Stewarts Creek Middle School, and Stewarts Creek High School.

For Sellers: The Compass Three-Phase Marketing Strategy

Selling a Clear Creek home is not a one-size-fits-all process, and Patrick uses Compass’s exclusive Three-Phase Marketing Strategy to maximize every seller’s outcome. Phase 1 is Compass Private Exclusive, where your home is marketed to a curated buyer audience so you can test price and gather feedback before going public. Phase 2 is Compass Coming Soon, placing your listing on Compass.com where buyers can find it without triggering days-on-market or price history exposure. Phase 3 is the full public launch on MLS and all third-party sites, with maximum demand already built.

Compass data shows pre-marketed homes close at 2.9% higher prices, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price reduction. On an $882,000 median-priced Clear Creek home, 2.9% is over $25,000 in additional proceeds.

Because each builder has its own design standards, floor plans, and finish packages, homes in Clear Creek can vary meaningfully from one street to the next.

Fees are paid either monthly or quarterly depending on the phase. The HOA maintains community amenities including the playground, walking trails, and common area landscaping.

What schools serve Clear Creek?

Clear Creek is in Rutherford County. Most addresses are zoned to Stewarts Creek Elementary, Stewarts Creek Middle, and Stewarts Creek High School. A portion of Section 3 homes are zoned to Brown’s Chapel Elementary, also feeding into Stewarts Creek Middle and High. Buyers should verify school zoning for their specific address with Rutherford County Schools before closing.

Does Clear Creek have a pool or clubhouse?

Clear Creek does not have a community pool or clubhouse. The neighborhood amenities include a playground and walking trails. Given the exceptionally low HOA fees, this is a deliberate trade-off that many buyers appreciate, particularly those who prefer a private backyard pool or simply value lower carrying costs.

When was Clear Creek established?

The first homes in Clear Creek were built beginning in 2017. The community has expanded through multiple sections and phases, with the most recent construction completed in 2025. This means buyers can find both a maturing, established streetscape in earlier phases and brand-new construction in the newer sections of the neighborhood.

What type of buyer is Clear Creek best suited for?

Clear Creek is best suited for move-up buyers and families looking for more space than Smyrna’s typical subdivision delivers. The combination of 3,100-to-3,900-square-foot floor plans, three-car garages, and quarter-acre-to-nearly-one-acre lots makes this neighborhood a strong match for households that need room to grow or work from home. Buyers relocating from higher-cost markets like Nashville or Brentwood consistently find the price-per-square-foot in Clear Creek compelling. The neighborhood also appeals to professionals commuting to the Nissan plant, Murfreesboro, or Nashville who want a quieter, more established setting without sacrificing new-construction quality.
