Rucker Park: Franklin’s Walkable Condo Community Off Mack Hatcher

Rucker Park is a boutique condominium community in Franklin, Tennessee built in 2015 and located in the heart of 37064, just off Mack Hatcher Memorial Parkway. The community offers two-bedroom flat and garden-style condos in the 1,036 to 1,046 square foot range – compact, low-maintenance units that deliver a Franklin address, Williamson County Schools, and a walkable setting at one of the most accessible price points in Williamson County. Rucker Park draws first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors who want proximity to downtown Franklin and Cool Springs without the carrying costs of a single-family home.

The community sits within the Franklin Elementary, Freedom Middle School, and Centennial High School attendance zone – one of Williamson County’s most sought-after school clusters and the same zone that serves Hardison Hills, Carriage Park, and portions of Fieldstone Farms. For buyers prioritizing school assignment above all else, Rucker Park delivers Centennial High at the lowest price point available in the zone. Compass agents represented 66.7% of Rucker Park list-side transactions in the rolling 12-month period, reflecting Nashville Home Guru’s consistent presence in Franklin’s condo market.

Rucker Park Homes and Floor Plans

All Rucker Park units are two-bedroom condos built in 2015, ranging from 1,036 to 1,046 square feet. The community includes both flat condos and garden-style units. At this size, the floor plans are efficient and well-suited to single occupants, couples, or buyers who want minimal maintenance and no yard responsibility. HOA fees cover exterior maintenance and community upkeep, with monthly fees ranging from $105 to $195 per unit depending on floor plan and location within the community. The HOA structure makes Rucker Park one of the lower total-cost-of-ownership options in Franklin at this price point when carrying costs are compared to larger townhome communities with higher HOA fees.

For buyers comparing Rucker Park to larger Franklin condo communities, the key trade-off is square footage versus price per square foot. Rucker Park closed at an average of $345 per square foot rolling 12 months – a premium rate for the size, reflecting the Franklin 37064 location and Centennial High zoning. Buyers who need more than 1,046 square feet will find better value-per-foot in communities like Shadow Green or Simmons Ridge, though those communities carry different school zone assignments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rucker Park Franklin TN

Who typically buys condos in Rucker Park Franklin TN?

Rucker Park attracts three primary buyer profiles. First-time buyers who want a Franklin address and Centennial High school zone at the most accessible price point in that zone. Downsizers who are moving out of a larger Franklin home and want to eliminate yard maintenance and exterior upkeep while staying in the same school district for grandchildren or community ties. Investors and remote workers who value the Mack Hatcher location, the I-65 access, and the proximity to downtown Franklin and the Cool Springs employment corridor. At 1,036 to 1,046 square feet, Rucker Park is not a community for buyers who need significant space – it is a community for buyers who have decided that location, school zone, and low maintenance matter more than square footage.

What is my Rucker Park condo worth in today’s market?

Rolling 12-month closed sales at Rucker Park range from $345,000 to $374,900 at $333 to $358 per square foot. Because Rucker Park units are nearly identical in size (1,036 to 1,046 sq ft), the pricing variables that matter most are floor level, finishes, and parking situation relative to comparable units that have recently sold. The online estimate tools use broad market medians that frequently miss community-specific variables in small condo developments. Get a starting-point estimate using the link above, then call 615-682-1718 for a comp-specific analysis of your unit.

I am comparing Rucker Park to other Franklin condos under $400,000. How do I decide?

The comparison almost always comes down to two variables: school zone and square footage. Rucker Park delivers Centennial High at $345,000 to $374,900 in 1,036 to 1,046 square feet. Carriage Park offers a similar school zone profile at a comparable price point with slightly different unit configurations. Shadow Green sits at $340,000 median but a 68-day median DOM – a community that consistently needs more pricing precision to move. Simmons Ridge at $475,000 median offers more square footage and Fred J Page zoning but at a $100,000 to $130,000 premium. If Centennial High is the non-negotiable and square footage is less important, Rucker Park is the most efficient path to that outcome in this price range. If you need more than 1,046 square feet and can flex on school zone, there are better value-per-foot options. Call 615-682-1718 to work through the comparison with current closed data.

What does the Rucker Park HOA cover and how much does it cost?

Rucker Park HOA fees range from $105 to $195 per month depending on unit type and location. The HOA covers exterior building maintenance, common area upkeep, and landscaping – the primary appeal for buyers who want a Franklin condo without the maintenance responsibilities of a single-family home. Verify the current HOA fee, any pending special assessments, and reserve fund status for any specific unit before making an offer. Call 615-682-1718 for current HOA details by unit.

What schools serve Rucker Park in Franklin TN?

Rucker Park is zoned for Franklin Elementary School, Freedom Middle School (or Freedom Intermediate, depending on grade), and Centennial High School within Williamson County Schools. WCS is consistently ranked the top public school district in Tennessee. Centennial High School is one of the district’s flagship high schools. Always verify the exact current school assignment for a specific unit directly with Williamson County Schools before making an offer – attendance zones are subject to change. Call 615-682-1718 for school-zone guidance.

What are the property taxes on a Rucker Park condo in Franklin TN?

Williamson County property taxes average approximately 0.69% of assessed value. Tennessee assesses at 25% of appraised value. On the $355,000 median Rucker Park sale price: assessed value approximately $88,750, annual property taxes approximately $2,400 to $2,650. Combined with the $105 to $195 monthly HOA fee, the total monthly carrying cost for a Rucker Park owner after taxes and HOA is typically in the $300 to $400 range before mortgage. Tennessee has no state income tax, which frequently makes the total cost of ownership for a Franklin condo competitive with comparable properties in higher-tax states. Verify exact rates for your specific unit. Call 615-682-1718.

Is Rucker Park a good investment or rental property in Franklin TN?

Rucker Park’s location, Centennial High zoning, and low-maintenance structure make it a reasonable rental candidate for buyers considering a long-term hold. The Mack Hatcher location and proximity to Cool Springs and downtown Franklin supports rental demand from young professionals and relocating employees. Before purchasing as an investment, verify the HOA’s rental policy – some condo associations in Franklin limit the percentage of units that can be rented or impose minimum lease terms.
