Cool Springs East

FRANKLIN’S AMENITY-RICH COOL SPRINGS COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Cool Springs East

Cool Springs East sits at the intersection of convenience and established neighborhood living in Franklin’s 37067 zip code. Located off Carothers Parkway and Bakers Bridge Road, this community of approximately 700 single-family homes puts you in the heart of the Cool Springs commercial district while keeping the feel of a mature, tree-lined residential neighborhood.

The location is hard to beat. Drive down Bakers Bridge Road and you run right into the CoolSprings Galleria, one of the largest shopping centers in the Nashville metro, and Publix, Target, Whole Foods, Costco, and dozens of restaurants are all within a five-minute drive. For commuters, I-65 access is quick via Carothers Parkway, putting downtown Nashville about 20 minutes north in normal traffic. Cool Springs has also become a major employment hub, with Nissan North America, Mars Petcare, Community Health Systems, and Ramsey Solutions all headquartered or with major offices nearby, so walking or biking to work is a genuine option here rather than a marketing stretch.

The neighborhood is divided into four distinct enclaves: The Knolls, The Meadow, The Village, and The Woods. Each section has its own character, but all share access to the community clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, and fitness center. Streets include Bateman Avenue, Broadwell Circle, Cliffe Run, Savannah Way, Tinnan Avenue, Walters Avenue, German Lane, Hope Avenue, and Hodges Court. Downtown Franklin’s historic Main Street is about 10 minutes south, adding the Franklin Theatre, independent restaurants, and seasonal festivals to the mix.

The Homes in Cool Springs East

Cool Springs East was built between 1996 and 2002 across multiple sections. Homes range from approximately 1,900 to over 5,000 square feet, covering everything from three-bedroom single-level floor plans to larger five-bedroom homes with finished basements. Most homes in recent sales fall in the 2,300 to 3,700-square-foot range with three to five bedrooms.

Construction quality is solid throughout. You will find a mix of all-brick exteriors and partial brick with siding, with the majority being two-story traditional designs, though some one-and-a-half-story plans with walkout basements exist on sloped lots. Lot sizes vary across the four enclaves: standard lots run about 0.15 to 0.25 acres, but premium lots on cul-de-sacs and backing to wooded areas can reach 0.39 acres. The larger lots, particularly on German Lane and Hope Avenue, command higher prices and offer more privacy within the subdivision.

Interior features common to most homes include hardwood or finished wood flooring on main levels, granite countertops in updated kitchens, gas fireplaces, formal dining rooms, and two-car garages. Many owners have invested in significant renovations over the years, including kitchen overhauls, primary-bath upgrades, screened porches, and outdoor living spaces, and the thoughtfully updated homes are competing well in today’s market.

Amenities

Cool Springs East offers a full amenity package that justifies its HOA dues. The community clubhouse serves as the social hub and is available for resident events and private gatherings, and a recently renovated pool area is the center of summer activity, with a playground adjacent for families with younger children. Tennis and pickleball courts see heavy use year-round, and a fitness center provides an on-site workout option for residents who prefer not to drive to a gym.

The community also features walkways, green spaces, and sidewalks throughout all four enclaves, and underground utilities keep the streetscape clean, contributing to the polished, established feel. Beyond the neighborhood, Aspen Grove Park is nearby with walking trails and open space, and the proximity to Cool Springs retail means restaurants, entertainment, gyms, and everyday errands are all within minutes.

Schools

Cool Springs East is served primarily by Kenrose Elementary School, with a portion of the community zoned to Crockett Elementary, along with Woodland Middle School and Ravenwood High School. All are part of Williamson County Schools, one of the top-performing districts in Tennessee. Kenrose is consistently among the top-rated elementary schools in the county, and Ravenwood High is regularly ranked among the best public high schools in the state, with strong AP programs, athletics, and college placement.

One point worth clarifying for buyers: some online sources reference Centennial High for this area, but current zoning places Cool Springs East in the Ravenwood district, which recent sales confirm. Because the community is served by Williamson County Schools rather than the Franklin Special School District, there is no separate City of Franklin school-district tax here. Always confirm the exact elementary and high-school assignment for a specific address before you buy, and Patrick can pull the current zoning for any home.

Because homes here sold from $296 to $348 per square foot and vary significantly by updating, enclave, and lot, he prices from the closest true comps and adjusts for renovation level and lot position rather than a blanket average.

Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to that pre-market inventory at no additional cost to you as the buyer.
