Ladd Park

FRANKLIN’S PREMIER MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Ladd Park

Ladd Park occupies 615 acres in southeast Franklin, Tennessee, stretching along two miles of Harpeth River frontage between Carothers Parkway and I-65. The community sits in the 37064 zip code and offers one of the most complete lifestyles in Williamson County.

What sets Ladd Park apart from other Franklin neighborhoods is the sheer scale of its preserved open space. Of the community’s 615 acres, 240 acres are set aside as common areas, parks, and natural habitat. That ratio of green space to developed land is hard to match anywhere in the Nashville metro area. The new 180-acre Pearl Park along the Harpeth River adds even more protected recreation space, giving residents access to a canoe and kayak launch, observation areas, and a nature preserve.

The location works well for commuters. I-65 access is minutes away, putting Cool Springs and its retail district about six miles north and downtown Nashville roughly 20 miles up the interstate. Berry Farms Town Center and the Cool Springs Galleria cover everyday shopping and dining needs. Historic downtown Franklin is a 10-to-15-minute drive for weekend dinners and events.

Residents describe the neighborhood as tight-knit, with organized community events throughout the year including singer-songwriter nights and seasonal gatherings. The rolling hills, tree-lined streets with sidewalks on both sides, and long-range views to the west give Ladd Park a distinctly different feel from flatter suburban developments.

The Homes

Ladd Park is a master-planned community made up of several distinct sections, each with its own character and builders. The major sections include The Highlands at Ladd Park, Brenley Crossing, Carothers Cove, Enderly Pointe, The Crest at Ladd Park, Foxglove Farms, The Overlook, and The Ridge. This variety means Ladd Park offers a wider range of price points and home styles than most Franklin communities.

Construction began in 2007, and active building continues today. Builders who have contributed to the community include Ford Custom Classic Homes, The Jones Company, Goodall Homes, Signature Homes, Boulevard Homes, Stonebridge Homes, Luna Construction, Brunswick Construction, and several custom builders. This multi-builder approach created genuine architectural diversity rather than a cookie-cutter look.

Homes range from approximately 2,100 to 4,800+ square feet with 3 to 6 bedrooms. Architectural styles span from traditional brick colonials to contemporary craftsman designs. Common features include hardwood flooring, granite or quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and open floor plans. Lot sizes run from 0.15 to 0.46 acres, with many homes in the newer sections backing to wooded common areas or enjoying elevated views of the surrounding hills.

The Crest section, one of the newer areas, features larger lots with opportunities for basements and custom builds. Homes in The Highlands tend to be in the 2,500 to 3,500 square foot range, while properties in sections like Brenley Crossing push into the 3,500 to 4,800+ square foot range with more premium finishes.

Amenities

Ladd Park delivers resort-level amenities that most Franklin neighborhoods simply cannot match. The 240 acres of preserved common space and Harpeth River access create a lifestyle that feels more like a planned community retreat than a suburban subdivision.

Two resort-style swimming pools serve the community. The Highlands pool, located near the clubhouse at 802 Beamon Drive, offers a junior Olympic-size pool with cabanas. A second pool is located in the Enderly Pointe section. The clubhouse at Beamon Drive serves as the community hub, hosting events and available for resident reservations.

The trail system is one of Ladd Park’s biggest draws. Over 10 miles of paved walking and biking trails wind through the community, connecting neighborhoods to parks, green spaces, and the Harpeth River. A dedicated canoe and kayak launch gives residents direct river access for paddling. A basketball court and multiple playgrounds round out the active recreation options.

The new 180-acre Pearl Park along the Harpeth River adds a significant nature preserve with observation areas and an arboretum. This park protects the unique riparian environment while giving residents access to protected green space that will never be developed.

HOA fees range from $75 to $125 per month depending on the section, covering pool access, trail maintenance, common area upkeep, clubhouse operations, and organized community events. Some sections have slightly different fee structures based on their specific amenities.
