Gentry Place

SMYRNA’S ESTABLISHED SINGLE-FAMILY COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Gentry Place sits off Florence Road in Smyrna, TN 37167, putting residents within minutes of the everyday conveniences that make Smyrna one of Rutherford County’s most practical places to live. Streets in the neighborhood include Florence Road and Virginia Belle Drive, forming a quiet, low-traffic layout that keeps the community feel intact.

Smyrna’s downtown square, Publix, Kroger, Walmart, Home Depot, and a full range of dining options are all within a short drive. The Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport is nearby, and Interstate 24 gives residents straightforward access to Murfreesboro (about 15 minutes east) and Nashville (approximately 25 minutes northwest). For families who want suburban space without a long commute, Gentry Place checks the right boxes.

The neighborhood’s proximity to Percy Priest Lake adds an outdoor recreation dimension that many Smyrna communities can’t match. Boating, fishing, and lakeside trails are accessible within a short drive, rounding out the daily lifestyle appeal.

The Homes

Gentry Place is an established single-family neighborhood built primarily between 2009 and 2014. The homes are traditional-style construction, with two-story layouts, brick or vinyl exteriors, and attached two-car garages. Square footage across closed sales runs from approximately 2,014 to 2,448 square feet, making these mid-sized homes with enough space for growing families.

One of the standout characteristics of Gentry Place is lot size. Homes sit on lots ranging from approximately 0.34 to 0.42 acres, which is meaningfully larger than the typical postage-stamp yards found in many newer Smyrna subdivisions. Bedrooms range from 3 to 4, and full bathrooms from 2 to 3. There are no HOA fees recorded for this neighborhood, which is a genuine differentiator in a market where $800 to $1,200 per year in association dues has become the norm.

The interior finishes on resale homes in Gentry Place vary by owner updates, but the underlying floor plans are functional and well-suited to everyday family life. Buyers who want more space per dollar than newer construction typically delivers will find this neighborhood worth a close look.

Amenities

Gentry Place is a straightforward single-family neighborhood without a formal community amenity package, which is part of what keeps HOA fees off the table. What residents gain instead is generous lot sizes, low traffic streets, and access to everything Smyrna has built around them.

Barfield Crescent Park, one of Rutherford County’s most popular recreational parks with disc golf, walking trails, and open green space, is a short drive away. Smyrna’s greenway system also continues to expand, adding more connected outdoor options year over year. For shopping and dining, the Commerce Street corridor and nearby retail along Sam Ridley Parkway cover most needs without leaving Smyrna.

Schools

Gentry Place is in Rutherford County, served by Rutherford County Schools. Based on MLS data, the assigned schools are John Colemon Elementary School, Smyrna Middle School, and Smyrna High School. Buyers should always confirm current school assignments directly with Rutherford County Schools before closing, as boundaries can change.

Rutherford County Schools is a large and growing district with a range of magnet and specialized programs. Smyrna High School in particular has a strong reputation for academics and extracurriculars, making this an area where families tend to put down long-term roots.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass, ranked #1 in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends report. With over 1,100 transactions and $500M in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee, the team brings the kind of data-driven expertise that small subdivisions like Gentry Place demand, where every sale sets the comparable for the next one.

In the rolling 12-month period covered by the Gentry Place MLS data, Compass was not the listing or selling office on any of the three recorded closed sales, which means the neighborhood is underrepresented in Compass’s transaction history. That is an opportunity, not a disadvantage. Buyers working with a Compass agent get access to private exclusives and coming-soon inventory that never appear on Zillow or Redfin. Sellers working with Compass get the benefit of a pre-marketing strategy that has been shown to produce measurably better outcomes.

Across the broader Tennessee market, Compass, which merged with Parks Real Estate in 2024, represents approximately 1 in 4 homes sold statewide. As the #1 residential brokerage in the United States by sales volume, Compass brings national reach with deep local roots in Rutherford County and Smyrna.

The Compass Three-Phase Marketing Strategy is built for sellers who want maximum demand before their home ever hits the open market. Learn more about how this works here.

Phase 1 (Compass Private Exclusive) lets you test your price with a curated audience and gather feedback before going public. Phase 2 (Compass Coming Soon) puts your home in front of active buyers on Compass.com with no days-on-market clock running and no price history showing. Phase 3 is the full public launch on MLS and third-party sites, by which point significant buyer interest has already been built. Compass data shows pre-marketed homes close for 2.9% more on average, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price reduction.
