Summerlyn

NOLENSVILLE’S WALKABLE JONES COMPANY COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Summerlyn

Summerlyn sits in the heart of Nolensville, Tennessee, off Nolensville Road in the 37135 zip code. It is one of those neighborhoods where daily life actually works the way it is supposed to. You can walk the kids to school, ride your bike to the Nolensville Town Center, and still be on I-24 heading to Nashville in under 20 minutes.

The neighborhood is zoned entirely within Williamson County. Mill Creek Elementary, Mill Creek Middle, and Nolensville High School are all within walking or biking distance for most Summerlyn families. That walkable school access puts Summerlyn in a short list of Nolensville communities where parents do not have to drive every morning.

Daily errands are straightforward. The Village Green center with Publix is a few minutes away. Downtown Nolensville, with its breweries, pizza spots, and shops along Nolensville Road, is close enough to feel like a neighborhood destination rather than a commute. For larger shopping trips, Cool Springs Galleria and the Brentwood retail corridor are about 15 minutes north.

The neighborhood’s street layout is designed for walking, with sidewalks throughout and connections to Nolensville’s broader trail network. Block parties, school event turnout, and neighborly interaction happen organically here in ways that are visible to buyers touring the community.

Summerlyn was developed by Jones Company, one of Middle Tennessee’s most recognized builders. The community includes approximately 250 single-family homesites, built primarily between 2015 and 2020.

Exteriors are typically brick and Hardie board combinations.
