Rebel Meadows

FRANKLIN’S ESTABLISHED NO-HOA NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR HILLSBORO ROAD

Location and Daily Life in Rebel Meadows

Rebel Meadows is an established single-family neighborhood in Franklin, Tennessee, located off Hillsboro Road in the 37064 zip code. Streets in the community include Chrisman Drive, Edwards Drive, Rebel Circle, Ronald Drive, and Victoria Drive. The neighborhood sits close enough to Historic Downtown Franklin that residents regularly walk, bike, or take a five-minute drive to Main Street, Five Points, and the Harpeth River Greenway.

Hillsboro Road is one of the most useful corridors in Franklin for daily errands, with grocery stores, coffee shops, hardware, and dining all accessible without getting on the interstate. For commuters, I-65 is reachable via Mack Hatcher Parkway in about ten minutes, and Cool Springs is roughly the same distance in the opposite direction. The practical location is a primary reason buyers from Nashville and Brentwood target Rebel Meadows specifically: you get the Franklin address and the walkability to downtown without the premium pricing of newer planned communities.

The neighborhood has mature trees, generous lot sizes, and the kind of established streetscape that takes decades to develop and cannot be replicated in new construction. Sidewalks run through the community, and the surrounding area connects to Harlinsdale Farm Park and the broader Franklin trail network. For families and individuals who want genuine walkability in an established setting, Rebel Meadows is one of the more practical options in this zip code.

The Homes in Rebel Meadows

Rebel Meadows was developed primarily in the 1970s, with the recent closed homes built between 1972 and 1976. The neighborhood’s age is one of its defining characteristics, both as an asset and a consideration. Lot sizes run from roughly a third of an acre to just over half an acre, considerably larger than what most modern subdivisions offer at comparable price points. The extra land, combined with mature trees and established landscaping, gives the neighborhood a character that buyers increasingly pay a premium for in Franklin.

Original homes in Rebel Meadows are typically one- and two-story structures ranging from approximately 1,300 to 2,100 square feet, built in a mix of all-brick, partial brick, hardboard, and wood siding construction, with three and four bedroom floor plans. Two-car garages are common, though some homes were built with one-car garages or no attached garage, and crawl space foundations are typical for the era. Interior finishes vary widely by ownership history, from original condition to fully updated kitchens, open main floors, and renovated baths, which creates both risk and opportunity for buyers.

The most important dynamic to understand in Rebel Meadows is renovation and redevelopment. The neighborhood attracts buyers who either want to renovate an existing home or build new on an established lot. A custom-built 2024 home on Edwards Drive traded around $1,200,000 in early 2025, which established a credible ceiling for what the neighborhood can support when the right product is built. That sets a clear framework: buyers who purchase and renovate strategically can work to close the gap between the neighborhood’s entry pricing and its top of market in a single project cycle.

Rebel Meadows Market Data

Over the most recent rolling 12-month period, three homes closed in Rebel Meadows, with a median sale price of $575,000 and a range from $518,100 to $680,000. That range reflects genuine differences in home condition, update level, and lot within an established 1970s neighborhood. Layered on top is the redevelopment ceiling: the recent custom Edwards Drive rebuild near $1,200,000 shows what a fully reimagined home can reach here, so this is a market where condition and improvement strategy drive value as much as square footage.

Rebel Meadows Amenities and Setting

Rebel Meadows has no HOA, no community pool, and no clubhouse, and that is intentional context rather than a criticism. The trade for no monthly dues is complete freedom over how you use and improve your property, combined with lot sizes that start around a third of an acre. In a Franklin market where HOA fees in amenity-rich communities regularly run $150 to $400 or more per month, the no-HOA structure saves homeowners $1,800 to $4,800 or more annually.

The neighborhood’s mature tree canopy and generous yards effectively function as the community’s amenity. Several homes have in-ground pools, and the large lots provide room for outdoor kitchens, detached garages, workshops, or garden space that simply does not exist in newer communities built on quarter-acre footprints. Harlinsdale Farm Park is a short walk or bike ride away with open green space, walking trails, and event space along the Harpeth River, and Historic Downtown Franklin’s parks, restaurants, and retail corridor are a few minutes away by car. For buyers who want land and privacy without HOA overhead, Rebel Meadows is one of the more compelling options in this part of Franklin.

Rebel Meadows Schools

Rebel Meadows sits within the City of Franklin and is served by the Franklin Special School District for elementary and middle grades, and by Williamson County Schools for high school. Based on the neighborhood’s recorded assignments in recent sales, homes are zoned to:

Elementary: Poplar Grove Elementary School, grades K-4 (Franklin Special School District)

Middle: Poplar Grove Middle School, grades 5-8 (Franklin Special School District)

High: Franklin High School (Williamson County Schools)

Important note: Because Rebel Meadows is zoned to the Franklin Special School District for elementary and middle school, homes here carry an additional City of Franklin property tax that funds the FSSD, on top of Williamson County property tax. Elementary and middle assignments in this pocket can also vary by address in some years, so always confirm the current assignment and tax detail for a specific Rebel Meadows home before you make an offer.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

Rebel Meadows is a neighborhood where the same block can support homes ranging from the low $500,000s to over $1 million depending on condition and improvements, so pricing has to be built by hand from condition, updates, lot, and the redevelopment ceiling, not from a blended average or a Zestimate. That pricing depth and renovation experience translates directly into better outcomes for both buyers and sellers. Over the past 12 months, Compass and Parks agents were involved in two of the three Rebel Meadows closings, and in the broader Franklin 37064 zip code they represented roughly 43 percent of all closings, more than any other brokerage.

Nashville Home Guru is led by Patrick Higgins, a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent ranked in the top 1 percent statewide, leading the team ranked number one in Nashville and number seven in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings.

Compass is the number one residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. After merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents represent approximately one in four homes sold in Tennessee. That network is particularly valuable in Rebel Meadows, where the right buyer is often someone relocating from Nashville, Brentwood, or out of state who finds listings through Compass’s national platform before they find them on Zillow.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy delivers measurable results. Homes pre-marketed through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs sell for 2.9 percent more, go under contract 20 percent faster, and are 30 percent less likely to experience a price reduction. On a fully renovated Rebel Meadows property targeting the top of the market, that advantage grows substantially. Learn more about selling your home on your terms at nashvillehome.guru.
