Posey Acres

SMYRNA’S ESTABLISHED BRICK RANCH COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Posey Acres sits in a quiet, established pocket of Smyrna, Tennessee, anchored by Hazelwood Drive near the heart of town. Streets inside the community include Gilbert Drive, Hankins Drive, Steve Roberts Drive, and Hutchinson Drive. The location is genuinely practical: Smyrna’s downtown, the Sam Ridley Parkway retail corridor, and I-24 are all within a few minutes, making this one of the easier commutes in Rutherford County whether you work locally or travel toward Nashville or Murfreesboro.

Daily errands are straightforward. Kroger, Walmart, and a full range of restaurants and services are nearby on Sam Ridley Parkway, and Smyrna’s greenways and Percy Priest Lake are accessible for outdoor recreation. The Smyrna Airport sits just minutes away, adding a regional connection that not many suburban neighborhoods can claim. This is a neighborhood where people have lived for decades precisely because it works so well.

The Homes

Posey Acres is a mature, single-family neighborhood developed primarily during the 1970s. The dominant style is the classic brick ranch: single-story, all-brick or partial-brick construction, with layouts typically running 1,400 to 2,600 square feet. Lot sizes are one of the community’s real selling points. Most homes sit on generous parcels ranging from roughly 0.42 to 1.00 acre, giving residents meaningful yard space that is increasingly hard to find in Rutherford County at this price point.

Three- and four-bedroom floor plans are the standard. Many homes include features that have become more valuable over time: large detached garages or carports, sunrooms, flex spaces that can serve as a home office or family room, and covered patios. Because the neighborhood has been here since the early 1970s, you will find a mix of meticulously maintained originals, fully renovated homes, and properties that present an opportunity for a buyer willing to do cosmetic updates. There is no HOA in Posey Acres, which means no monthly fees and fewer restrictions on how you use your property.

Amenities

Posey Acres is a neighborhood without a formal amenity package, and for many buyers that is exactly the appeal. No pool assessments, no clubhouse dues, no HOA board meetings. The community’s real amenities are the lot sizes, the accessibility, and the larger Smyrna infrastructure surrounding it.

Smyrna’s parks system gives residents access to Hazelwood Park, which sits close to the neighborhood, along with additional green space and trail access throughout the town. Percy Priest Lake, one of the most popular recreational lakes in Middle Tennessee, is roughly 20 minutes north for boating, fishing, and paddling. Downtown Smyrna’s public square offers community events throughout the year, and the Sam Ridley Parkway corridor covers essentially every retail and dining category a household needs.

Schools

Posey Acres is located in Rutherford County, served by Rutherford County Schools. Based on MLS data from closed sales in the community, students are assigned to Smyrna Primary School and/or Smyrna Elementary School for elementary grades, Smyrna Middle School for grades 6-8, and Smyrna High School for grades 9-12. All three schools are within a short drive of the neighborhood.

School assignments can vary by address and can change between school years. Always verify directly with Rutherford County Schools before relying on assignment information for a specific property.

For sellers, Compass’s Three Phase Marketing Strategy is a proven system for maximizing price and minimizing time on market. You can learn more at nashvillehome.guru/sell-your-home-on-your-terms. Here is how the three phases work for a Posey Acres seller:

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Your home is marketed to a select audience of qualified buyers before going public. You get real price feedback without accumulating days on market or a visible price history.

Phase 2 – Compass Coming Soon: Your listing goes live on Compass.com, where buyers can find and save your home before it hits the MLS. Demand builds with no clock running on market time.

Phase 3 – Public Launch: Your home goes live on the MLS and all third-party sites with an audience already warmed up. Compass data shows pre-marketed homes close at 2.9% higher prices, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price reduction.
