FRANKLIN’S WALKABLE COMMUNITY OFF DEL RIO PIKE

Location and Daily Life in Rizer Point

Rizer Point sits off Del Rio Pike in the 37069 zip code of Franklin, Tennessee, in one of the most coveted location positions in all of Williamson County. Historic Downtown Franklin is less than two miles away. Poplar Grove Elementary is directly across the street. Interstate 65 is under ten minutes. This combination of walkable proximity to downtown, immediate school access, and highway convenience is genuinely rare in a market where most newer developments require a car for everything.

Streets in Rizer Point include Nine Bark Lane, Reese Drive, Rizer Point Drive, Viola Lane, and Heflin Lane. The neighborhood spans two sections: Section 1 along Rizer Point Drive contains the larger single-family homes, while Section 2 on Viola Lane and Nine Bark Lane includes the townhome inventory. That mix gives buyers at different price points a way into one of the best-located communities in 37069.

Day-to-day life from Rizer Point is practically oriented around walkability and access. The proximity to downtown Franklin means residents can walk or bike to the restaurants, shops, and events on Main Street rather than dealing with parking and traffic. Del Rio Pike connects north toward Brentwood and south toward the broader Franklin road network. For buyers who have been trading location for space in other markets, Rizer Point offers a different calculation.

The Homes

Rizer Point offers two distinct product types within the same community. Single-family homes in Section 1 along Rizer Point Drive were built primarily in 2013 and 2014, with Section 2 homes on Heflin Lane following in 2015 and 2016. These are traditional two-story layouts with all-brick or partial brick and hardboard exteriors, running from approximately 2,400 to over 3,600 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3 to 4 full baths. Lot sizes are compact at 0.15 acres, reflecting the urban-adjacent nature of the community rather than the acre-plus rural standard. Two-car attached garages are standard. One of the active single-family listings was originally built as a model home, featuring premium finishes and upgraded fixtures throughout.

The townhomes on Viola Lane and Nine Bark Lane were built in 2015, offering 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layouts at 1,765 square feet on 0.04-acre lots. These are attached single-family residences rather than stacked condos, giving buyers a private entrance and two-story living without the maintenance responsibilities of a detached home. At roughly $575,000 for recent closed sales, the townhomes represent the most accessible entry point into the 37069 zip code near downtown Franklin.

Across both product types, construction quality leans toward all-brick and fiber cement exteriors. The community includes a walking trail and sidewalks throughout, reinforcing the walkable character that defines the neighborhood’s appeal. Interior finishes typically include hardwood or LVP flooring on main levels, granite countertops, gas fireplaces, and open-concept kitchen and living layouts.

Amenities

Rizer Point includes a walking trail and sidewalks throughout the community, a small park area, and underground utilities. For a neighborhood in the $575K to $950K price range, the amenity package is appropriately scaled: no pool or clubhouse to drive up HOA fees, but enough community infrastructure to support an active, walkable lifestyle.

The HOA fees vary significantly between product types. Single-family homeowners pay approximately $74 to $108 per month, while townhome residents pay $278 to $324 per month. The higher townhome fees reflect exterior maintenance coverage that is common in attached-home HOA structures, where the association handles building exterior and landscaping. Buyers comparing total monthly costs between a Rizer Point townhome and a single-family home should factor this difference into their analysis.

The location itself functions as the primary amenity. Poplar Grove Elementary is directly across the street. Downtown Franklin’s restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and year-round events on Main Street are walkable or a short bike ride away. The Harpeth River Greenway and other trail connections are accessible from the Del Rio Pike corridor. For buyers who have been prioritizing neighborhood amenities over location in other searches, Rizer Point makes the opposite case compellingly.

Schools Serving Rizer Point

Elementary: Poplar Grove School (K-4) serves Rizer Point, with Poplar Grove 5-8 handling the upper elementary grades. Poplar Grove is located directly across from the neighborhood on Del Rio Pike, making it one of the most literally walkable school situations in all of Franklin. Students do not need to cross a major road to reach campus, which is a genuine differentiator for families with young children.

Middle: Poplar Grove 5-8 continues serving Rizer Point students through 8th grade, keeping students in the same campus community before transitioning to high school.

High: Franklin High School serves Rizer Point. FHS is the original Franklin high school, located near downtown with deep community roots, strong academics, and a competitive athletics and arts program. The school benefits directly from the revitalization of downtown Franklin and the energy of being the central high school for the city.

All three schools are part of Williamson County Schools, consistently ranked among the top public school systems in Tennessee. The Poplar Grove campus directly across from the neighborhood is a meaningful selling point that rarely appears in other Franklin communities at any price.
