The Meade of Avalon

FRANKLIN’S GATED LUXURY COMMUNITY IN 37067

Location and Daily Life in The Meade of Avalon

The Meade of Avalon sits inside the larger Avalon master-planned community off Mack Hatcher Parkway in Franklin, Tennessee 37067. The location is one of the most practical in Williamson County: you are about two miles from the Cool Springs Galleria and the full retail corridor along Carothers Parkway, yet once you pass through the Avalon gates the noise and traffic disappear completely.

Mack Hatcher gives you a direct connection to I-65 in both directions without touching Franklin Road or Columbia Pike. That makes commutes into downtown Nashville or Brentwood straightforward, and it puts you within 15 minutes of most of Franklin’s major employment centers including the healthcare and tech campuses clustered near Cool Springs.

Daily errands are easy. The Whole Foods on Mallory Lane, a full Publix on Carothers, and the restaurants along Mack Hatcher and Columbia Avenue are all under five minutes from the Avalon gates. Franklin’s historic downtown square is about 10 minutes away for weekend dining and events. The Harpeth River Greenway, which connects several parks across Franklin, is accessible within a short drive.

Streets inside The Meade include Pennystone Circle, Patriot Lane, Wandering Circle, and Excalibur Court. The neighborhood has a residential, tree-lined character that feels more established than its early-to-mid 2000s build dates would suggest, largely due to mature landscaping throughout the community.

The Homes

The Meade of Avalon is a mix of attached townhomes and detached single-family homes, all within the gated Avalon community. The townhomes on Pennystone Circle are two- to three-story attached units ranging from approximately 2,500 to 2,900 square feet, with alley-access garages and covered outdoor living spaces. They offer a lower-maintenance ownership experience compared to the detached homes while still being inside a prestige gated community.

The detached single-family homes in The Meade range from about 2,465 to 4,363 square feet on relatively compact lots, typically with partial brick or fiber cement exteriors. Floor plans run three to four bedrooms with two to three full baths, and many include bonus rooms or flex spaces on the upper level. Most homes have two-car attached garages. Year built ranges from 2005 to 2011, meaning the community is fully established with no new construction.

HOA dues vary depending on the specific section and home type. Townhomes on Pennystone carry monthly fees around $535, which covers exterior maintenance and grounds. Single-family homes in The Meade sections have lower monthly fees in the $112 to $155 range for most homes, with some sections paid quarterly. The broader Avalon community amenities are what justify the combined cost.

The larger estate homes within the broader Avalon master plan, on streets like Canterbury Rise, Pendragon Court, and The Lady of the Lake Lane, are a separate and distinct part of the community with significantly different price points and lot sizes. The Meade specifically refers to the attached townhome and compact single-family sections closer to the Mack Hatcher entrance.

Amenities

Avalon is a gated community, and that access control is one of its primary selling points. The guard-staffed entrance creates a genuine barrier to through traffic, which is something most Franklin neighborhoods simply cannot offer at this price point.

The community amenities include a resort-style pool, tennis courts, a clubhouse, and a playground. A walking trail system runs through the neighborhood connecting different sections, which is particularly useful given the varied geography inside Avalon. The natural topography of the community includes wooded buffers along the perimeter that provide privacy and a visual break from development.

Underground utilities are standard throughout Avalon, which keeps the streetscape clean and eliminates downed-line issues during severe weather. The overall grounds maintenance within the community is visibly higher than average for Franklin subdivisions in this price range.

For residents who want additional recreation, Pinkerton Park is about 10 minutes away, and the Harpeth River access points near Franklin offer kayaking, fishing, and hiking. Williamson County’s park system is among the best funded in Tennessee.

Most neighborhoods in this price range in Williamson County are not gated.

How many homes are in The Meade of Avalon?

What are the benefits of buying a townhome vs. a single-family home in The Meade?

The townhomes on Pennystone Circle offer a lower entry price into a prestigious gated community, currently trading in the $692,500 to $755,000 range. The higher monthly HOA of approximately $535 covers exterior maintenance, which appeals to buyers who want a lower-maintenance lifestyle. The detached single-family homes offer more square footage, private yards, and more flexibility for customization, but at higher purchase prices and with the full responsibility for exterior upkeep under a lower HOA structure. Both options are zoned for Ravenwood High School and share the same community amenities.

What makes The Meade of Avalon a good investment compared to other Franklin neighborhoods?

Three factors stand out. First, the gated access through the Avalon entrance is a durable differentiator that most Franklin neighborhoods cannot offer. Second, the Ravenwood High School zoning consistently draws buyers willing to pay a premium for that school assignment. Third, the Cool Springs location gives residents easy access to employment, retail, and dining without the traffic congestion that affects neighborhoods closer to downtown Franklin or along Columbia Pike. Average price per square foot in The Meade runs around $318, which reflects sustained buyer demand for this specific combination of security, schools, and location.
