Forrest Crossing

FRANKLIN’S GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY IN THE HEART OF 37064

Location and Daily Life in Forrest Crossing

Forrest Crossing sits in the Cool Springs corridor of Franklin, one of the most convenient locations in all of Williamson County. The neighborhood wraps around the Franklin Bridge Golf Course, giving many streets views of the fairways and a sense of open space that’s hard to find in established communities at this price point.

The location is genuinely difficult to beat. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and the Cool Springs Galleria are minutes away. Downtown Franklin’s restaurant row on Main Street is about a 10-minute drive. I-65 access via Moores Lane or Carothers Parkway keeps commute times manageable whether you’re heading to downtown Nashville or going south toward Spring Hill and Columbia.

Streets in Forrest Crossing include Forrest Crossing Boulevard, Ridgestone Drive, Tynebrae Drive, Forrest Park Circle, Southampton Court, Chelsey Cove, Glendower Place, Royal Crossing, Fieldcrest Circle, Pembroake Lane, Governors Ridge Court, and Wellington Green. The neighborhood also has townhome sections along Culpepper Circle, Ballington Drive, and Roderick Place and Circle, giving buyers a range of product types at different price points within the same community.

Residents consistently mention the walkability to restaurants and errands as a major lifestyle advantage. The Forrest Crossing golf course is a genuine community anchor, with a pub on site and a swim team that’s been part of neighborhood life for decades.

The Homes

Forrest Crossing developed in multiple phases between 1988 and 2004, which means you’ll find genuine variety in architecture, square footage, and lot size depending on which section you’re looking at. The earliest sections along Ridgestone, Chelsey Cove, and Glendower Place feature traditional all-brick construction on some of the larger lots in the neighborhood. These homes were built when builders were still putting homes on third- to nearly-acre lots, and several back to wooded areas or have cul-de-sac settings that maximize privacy.

Later sections added different floor plan configurations as the community expanded. The Forrest Park Circle section tends to have larger square footage in the 2,700 to 3,600 square foot range. Homes throughout the single-family sections feature partial or all-brick exteriors, two-car garages with front or rear entry depending on the street, and traditional layouts with formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, and upstairs bonus rooms over the garage.

Forrest Crossing also includes several townhome and attached-home sections that function as a distinct market. The Roderick Place and Circle area near the northwest section features smaller-footprint homes in the 1,200 to 1,800 square foot range, while the Culpepper Circle and Ballington Drive townhomes run larger at 2,100 to 2,940 square feet. These townhome sections typically carry HOA dues that include exterior maintenance, which appeals to buyers looking for lower-maintenance living at a lower entry price than the single-family sections.

Interior features across the community vary by age and renovation status. Earlier homes often have been updated with hardwood floors, granite or quartz countertops, and modernized kitchens and baths, since they’ve had 30+ years for multiple owners to invest in improvements. The 2000-era homes closer to the eastern sections came in with more contemporary layouts from the start.

Amenities

The Franklin Bridge Golf Course is the defining amenity of Forrest Crossing. The 18-hole public course winds through the neighborhood, and the on-site pub has been a gathering spot for residents for years. Access to the golf course is open to the public, though many Forrest Crossing residents play regularly given the obvious proximity advantage.

The community HOA maintains a pool and tennis courts, which are available to single-family homeowners. The pool runs an active swim team in the summer, which becomes one of the primary community gathering points for families with kids. Sidewalks run throughout the neighborhood, and the street layout is conducive to walking and biking.

The townhome sections have their own HOA structures with dues that include exterior maintenance and grounds care, making them effectively low-maintenance properties. This is a meaningful distinction for buyers who want the Forrest Crossing location without the upkeep of a larger single-family home.

No renting is permitted in Forrest Crossing, either short-term or long-term. This is worth knowing upfront and it also helps maintain the owner-occupant character of the community.
