GALLATIN’S AFFORDABLE ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Plantation Trace

Plantation Trace sits just off Nashville Pike (US-31E) in Gallatin, Tennessee, putting residents in one of the most convenient spots in Sumner County. The neighborhood is accessed via Grassland Drive from Nashville Pike, and the three-street layout along Chesire Way, Habersham Drive, and Harrington Drive keeps traffic within the community to a minimum.

Daily errands are straightforward from Plantation Trace. The Greensboro Village shopping center sits less than a minute up Nashville Pike, offering grocery options, restaurants, and services. Volunteer State Community College is right down the road, and downtown Gallatin’s square with local shops, restaurants, and the Gallatin Public Library is about a five-minute drive north.

The commute to Nashville is manageable. Jump on Nashville Pike heading south to reach Highway 386 (Vietnam Veterans Boulevard), which connects directly to I-65. Most residents report a 30 to 40 minute drive to downtown Nashville depending on traffic. Old Hickory Lake and Bledsoe Creek State Park are both within 15 minutes, giving outdoor enthusiasts easy access to boating, fishing, and hiking.

One thing worth noting is the community’s proximity to other 37066 zip code neighborhoods. Fairvue Plantation, the Retreat at Fairvue, and the Villages of Plantation are all within walking distance, making this a well-connected part of south Gallatin.

The Homes

Plantation Trace was built between 2000 and 2007, making it a fully established community with mature landscaping and no ongoing construction. The neighborhood features a mix of ranch-style, cottage, and traditional two-story floor plans ranging from approximately 1,200 to 2,000 square feet.

Most homes offer 3 to 4 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms. Exteriors include a mix of all-brick, partial brick with vinyl siding, and full vinyl siding. Slab foundations are common throughout the neighborhood. You’ll find attached garages with 1 to 2 car capacity depending on the floor plan.

Lot sizes run between 0.18 and 0.25 acres, which is standard for Gallatin subdivisions of this era. The lots are level, which is a real advantage in Middle Tennessee where sloped terrain can limit usable backyard space. Several homes include gas fireplaces, fenced backyards, and covered patios or decks.

Interior features commonly include hardwood or laminate flooring on main levels, carpet in bedrooms, and tile in kitchens and bathrooms. Many of the original homes have been updated by owners over the years with modern finishes, new HVAC systems, and updated roofing.
