Hunters Chase

SMYRNA’S ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY OFF ROCKY FORK ROAD

Location & Daily Life

Hunters Chase sits off Rocky Fork Road in Smyrna, Tennessee 37167, in Rutherford County. The streets in the community, Hunters Chase Drive, Hunterwood Court and Yocum Drive, form a small, quiet pocket that has been part of Smyrna’s Rocky Fork corridor for more than three decades.

Residents are minutes from I-24 and the Sam Ridley Parkway retail corridor, which puts grocery stores, restaurants and everyday errands within a short drive. Downtown Smyrna and the Town Centre area are also close by, and the location works well for commuters heading toward Murfreesboro or Nashville along I-24.

Because Hunters Chase was built in the early 1990s, the lots carry mature trees and established landscaping that newer Smyrna subdivisions have not yet grown into.

The Homes

Homes in Hunters Chase were built between 1991 and 1993 with a mix of partial brick and vinyl siding exteriors, along with a few all-brick facades. Floor plans run from 2 to 4 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms and range from 1,289 to 1,881 square feet, making the community a practical fit for buyers who want a manageable footprint without sacrificing a real yard.

Lots run roughly a fifth of an acre, and most homes have attached one or two-car garages, covered patios, decks or porches, and fenced backyards. A number of recent sales in the community came with updated kitchens, luxury vinyl plank flooring, new HVAC systems and refreshed bathrooms, so buyers can often find a home that has already been renovated rather than needing to take one on themselves.

Amenities

Hunters Chase does not carry the resort-style amenity package found in newer Smyrna developments, and that is part of its appeal. The low annual HOA covers grounds maintenance for common areas rather than a clubhouse or pool, which keeps carrying costs down. Several homes back up to green space with nearby park and playground access, and most lots include covered patios, decks or porches along with privacy-fenced backyards, giving families and pet owners usable outdoor space without HOA restrictions on how they use it.

Schools

Hunters Chase is zoned to Rutherford County Schools. Most addresses in the community feed Rocky Fork Elementary School and Rocky Fork Middle School, though recent closings show a few addresses zoned to Rock Springs Elementary School and Rock Springs Middle School, and others zoned to the magnet option at Thurman Francis Arts Academy. All Hunters Chase students feed into Smyrna High School.

What is the price range for homes in Hunters Chase?
Over the past 12 months, closed sales in Hunters Chase ranged from $329,900 to $379,000, with a median of $339,000. Price per square foot ran from $201 to $256, with the higher end of that range tied to homes that had already been renovated with new flooring, updated kitchens and newer systems.

When were homes in Hunters Chase built?
Hunters Chase homes were built between 1991 and 1993. Many have been updated over time, with recent sales showing new roofs, new HVAC systems, remodeled kitchens and refreshed bathrooms, so the age of the neighborhood does not always match the condition of an individual home.

Is there an HOA in Hunters Chase, and what does it cover?
Yes. The HOA in Hunters Chase runs between $120 and $150 per year depending on the section, and it covers grounds maintenance for common areas. There is no clubhouse or pool tied to the fee, which keeps annual carrying costs low compared to newer Smyrna communities.

What schools serve Hunters Chase?
Hunters Chase falls under Rutherford County Schools. Most homes feed Rocky Fork Elementary School and Rocky Fork Middle School, with some addresses zoned to Rock Springs Elementary School and Rock Springs Middle School, or to the magnet program at Thurman Francis Arts Academy. All students in the community attend Smyrna High School.

Is Hunters Chase a good fit for first-time buyers and young families?
It tends to work well for that group. With a median sale price of $339,000, homes between 1,289 and 1,881 square feet, and an HOA under $150 a year, Hunters Chase gives buyers a lower entry point into Smyrna than most newer subdivisions along the Sam Ridley corridor, while still landing in the Rocky Fork school zone.

How many homes are in Hunters Chase?
Hunters Chase is a small community built along just three streets: Hunters Chase Drive, Hunterwood Court and Yocum Drive. Only six homes closed in the community over the past 12 months, so inventory moves quickly and buyers who want a specific floor plan should expect to act fast once one comes on the market.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Hunters Chase?
Patrick pulls direct RealTracs MLS data rather than relying on automated estimates, which matters in a community this small. With only six closed sales in the past 12 months and price per square foot swinging from $201 to $256 based on renovation level, Patrick prices and positions Hunters Chase listings against the specific condition and updates of comparable homes, not just square footage.

What styles and features do Hunters Chase homes have?
Hunters Chase homes are traditional and contemporary single-story and split-level layouts finished in partial brick and vinyl siding, with a few all-brick exteriors. Interiors commonly include vaulted ceilings, primary suites on the main floor, covered patios or decks, and privacy-fenced backyards. Many recently sold homes were updated with luxury vinyl plank flooring and remodeled kitchens.

Who is the best realtor for Hunters Chase in Smyrna TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely regarded as a top choice for Hunters Chase and the surrounding Rocky Fork Road communities. He is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent whose team has closed over 1,100 transactions across Middle Tennessee, and Compass agents accounted for 7.6% of all closed sales in Smyrna over the past year. Patrick’s team holds 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews from clients across Rutherford County.

Can I access a Hunters Chase home before it hits Zillow?
In many cases, yes. Compass offers Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs that let sellers test the market or line up a buyer before a listing goes fully public on sites like Zillow. There is no additional cost to buyers who work with Patrick to access these early-look opportunities in Hunters Chase and nearby Smyrna communities.

What is my Hunters Chase home worth in today’s market?
Automated home value tools tend to struggle in a community this small, since Hunters Chase only had six closed sales in the past year and price per square foot varied by more than $50 depending on renovation level. A quick estimate through Hifello is a reasonable starting point, but calling Patrick directly at 615-682-1718 gets you a comparison built from actual comparable closings rather than a citywide algorithm.

We’ve owned in Hunters Chase for years. How do we price it right when we sell?
Pricing a long-held home in Hunters Chase comes down to condition more than location. Because closed sales in the past year ranged from $329,900 for an as-is home to $379,000 for one with a new roof, new windows and a remodeled kitchen, sellers who have owned for a decade or more should expect their updates, or lack of them, to move the number meaningfully. Patrick can walk through what buyers are currently paying a premium for in this specific community before you list.
