Quail Ridge

SMYRNA’S ESTABLISHED BRICK RANCH COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Quail Ridge is located off Almaville Road in Smyrna, Tennessee (zip code 37167), in the southern part of Rutherford County. Streets in the community include Almaville Road and Quail Ridge Road, giving the subdivision a quiet, rural feel despite being only minutes from everyday conveniences.

Getting around from Quail Ridge is straightforward. Interstate 24 is easily accessible, putting downtown Murfreesboro about 15 minutes away and Nashville reachable in under 40 minutes depending on traffic. The Sam Ridley Parkway corridor is nearby for shopping, dining, and services. For day-to-day errands, Smyrna’s commercial district along Sam Ridley offers grocery options, restaurants, and retailers without needing to venture far.

The appeal of Quail Ridge comes down to space and privacy. Lots here run close to an acre, which is uncommon for Rutherford County at this price point. If you want a yard where kids and pets can actually roam, or space to park a boat or RV without HOA restrictions, Quail Ridge checks those boxes in a way that newer, denser communities simply cannot.

The Homes

Quail Ridge was developed in the mid-1980s, with homes built between 1984 and 1987. The community is defined by solid all-brick construction, a rarity in Middle Tennessee’s current resale market where vinyl and hardboard exteriors dominate. The predominant style is ranch, with some two-story configurations. Home sizes range from roughly 1,500 to 2,600 square feet, and most properties sit on lots between 0.97 and 1.1 acres.

Typical floor plans in Quail Ridge feature 3 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms, with many homes on a single floor. Garages are attached. Given the era of construction, many homes have undergone updates over the years, and buyers frequently find granite counters, updated kitchens, newer HVAC systems, and freshened bathrooms. The all-brick exteriors mean low maintenance on the outside, which is a selling point for buyers coming from wood-framed construction.

There is no HOA in Quail Ridge. That matters for buyers who want to avoid monthly fees and the restrictions that come with them, and it contributes to the community’s appeal for families needing extra parking or storage.

Amenities

Quail Ridge is not an amenity-heavy neighborhood with a pool or clubhouse. That is by design for many buyers here. The trade-off is large private lots, no HOA fees, and the freedom to use your property as you see fit. For recreational amenities, Smyrna provides plenty of options nearby.

The Smyrna Greenway connects several parks throughout the city, and Long Hunter State Park sits just to the north on Percy Priest Lake, offering hiking, fishing, and lake access. The Town of Smyrna operates Veteran’s Memorial Park and has multiple recreational fields and facilities. For shopping and dining, the Sam Ridley Parkway corridor covers most day-to-day needs, and the Stones River Town Center adds retail options in short order. Murfreesboro’s Stones River Greenway is also a reasonable drive for cyclists and runners looking for more mileage.

Schools

Quail Ridge is located in Rutherford County, and homes here are zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Based on closed sales data from RealTracs MLS, the assigned schools are:

School assignments should always be verified with Rutherford County Schools prior to purchase, as zoning boundaries can change.

Stewarts Creek High School opened in 2018 as a relief school for Blackman High School and serves the western and southern Smyrna area. Families relocating from other states should note that Rutherford County Schools is a separate district from the top-ranked Williamson County Schools system to the west. Rutherford County is one of Tennessee’s faster-growing districts and has invested significantly in newer school facilities, including the Stewarts Creek campus.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

Over the past 12 months, Compass and Parks agents were not represented in the four closed sales recorded in Quail Ridge specifically. However, Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume, and after merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee. That network matters when buying or selling in a small, low-turnover neighborhood like Quail Ridge. Patrick has access to coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and direct agent-to-agent connections that can surface opportunities before they ever hit the MLS.

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass and has closed over 1,100 transactions totaling more than $500M in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee. He is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and leads the #1 real estate team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee according to the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings. That production level means Patrick negotiates these transactions every day, not occasionally.

For sellers in Quail Ridge, Compass’s Three Phase Marketing Strategy is a meaningful advantage. Most agents take your home straight to the MLS and hope for the best. Compass does it differently:

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Your home is marketed to a select network of buyers and agents before going public. This allows you to test pricing and gather feedback without accumulating days on market or a visible price history.

Phase 2 – Compass Coming Soon: Your home launches on Compass.com with a Coming Soon designation. Buyers discover your property without seeing DOM or price reduction history.

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

Based on closed sales over the past 12 months, market-rate transactions in Quail Ridge ranged from $475,000 to $500,000. The median closed price was $480,000. Prices reflect the community’s all-brick construction, large lot sizes (close to 1 acre), and no-HOA status, all of which command a premium compared to newer subdivision homes in the same zip code with smaller yards and monthly fees.

Does Quail Ridge have an HOA?

No. Quail Ridge has no homeowners association. There are no monthly or annual HOA fees, and buyers are not subject to HOA rules or restrictions on parking, landscaping, or property improvements. This is one of the more appealing characteristics of the neighborhood for buyers coming from HOA communities.

What year were homes in Quail Ridge built?

Homes in Quail Ridge were built between 1984 and 1987. The community is fully built out, so there is no new construction available. Buyers should expect to work with resale inventory and evaluate each home based on updates and condition. All-brick construction means the exterior holds up well over time, but interior updates vary by owner.

What schools serve Quail Ridge?

Quail Ridge is in Rutherford County and zoned for Stewarts Creek Elementary School, Stewarts Creek Middle School, and Stewarts Creek High School. Always verify current zoning directly with Rutherford County Schools before making a purchase decision.

How large are the lots in Quail Ridge?

Lot sizes in Quail Ridge run close to 1 acre, with recent sales showing acreage between 0.97 and 1.1 acres. For Smyrna and Rutherford County, this is significantly larger than the typical suburban subdivision lot, and it is one of the primary reasons buyers target this specific community.

What type of buyer is Quail Ridge best suited for?

Quail Ridge is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize space and privacy over community amenities. Families with children who want a large yard, buyers who need to park recreational vehicles or equipment, and homeowners who have had enough of HOA restrictions all find Quail Ridge appealing. The all-brick construction also attracts buyers who understand the long-term maintenance advantage over vinyl or fiber cement siding. It is not the right neighborhood for someone who wants a pool, a clubhouse, or a just-built floor plan, but for the right buyer, the trade-offs are straightforward.

Why should I work with Nashville Home Guru to buy or sell in Quail Ridge?

Quail Ridge is a small, low-inventory neighborhood. Homes here do not come up frequently, which means timing and preparation matter more than in higher-turnover communities.
