The Villages of Hazelwood

SMYRNA’S ESTABLISHED TOWNHOME COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

The Villages of Hazelwood sits along Denny Brooke Lane, just off Hazelwood Drive in Smyrna, Tennessee 37167. The location puts residents within minutes of the Sam Ridley Parkway commercial corridor, where grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and everyday services stay close at hand.

Commuting is straightforward from here. Interstate 24 access is a short drive away, putting Nashville roughly 25 minutes to the northwest and Murfreesboro about 10 minutes to the southeast. Nissan’s North American headquarters in Smyrna is also nearby, which makes this community a popular pick for plant employees and contractors who want low-maintenance housing close to work.

Smyrna’s small-town feel comes with a growing commercial base. Smyrna Town Center, Smyrna Airport, and Percy Priest Lake for outdoor recreation are all within easy reach. Buyers who land here tend to value the walkable proximity to services and the manageable commute times across the region.

The Homes

The Villages of Hazelwood was built primarily in 2003 and 2004 across two recorded sections, The Villages of Hazelwood and The Villages of Hazelwood Sec 2. Homes are two-story attached townhomes offering between 1,461 and 1,822 square feet of living space, with 2 to 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms plus a half bath.

Interiors share a consistent layout: vaulted ceilings, open-concept living areas, and an upstairs loft that owners commonly convert into a home office, playroom, or bonus room. Primary suites vary by floor plan, with some placed on the first floor and others upstairs alongside the secondary bedrooms. Every home includes an attached one-car garage, and Google Fiber is available throughout the community.

Because the HOA covers exterior maintenance and grounds upkeep, owners are largely free of weekend yard obligations. That combination of solid floor plans and low-maintenance living has kept The Villages of Hazelwood a consistent choice for buyers who want a practical alternative to a single-family home in this part of Smyrna.

Is The Villages of Hazelwood a good fit for downsizers and Nissan employees?

The Villages of Hazelwood tends to appeal to a specific set of buyers. Downsizers moving from a larger home appreciate that the HOA handles exterior maintenance, so there’s no yard work or siding upkeep to manage. Nissan employees and contractors benefit from the short commute to the plant off Hazelwood Drive. First-time buyers find the $274,000 to $296,000 price range approachable compared to single-family homes in the broader Smyrna market, and the attached one-car garage adds a level of convenience that many competing townhome communities skip.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in The Villages of Hazelwood?

Patrick starts with the spread in price per square foot, which ran from $157 to $188 across the most recent closed sales, a real gap for a community where every home shares the same general layout and street. One recent seller priced their home with roughly $20,000 in built-in equity to move it quickly, a reminder that pricing strategy matters even in a small, consistent community like this one. With 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales across Middle Tennessee, Patrick reads these small-sample variances before recommending a list price rather than defaulting to a flat per-square-foot number.

Can I access a Villages of Hazelwood home before it hits Zillow?

Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to Compass Private Exclusives and Coming Soon listings that never appear on Zillow or Redfin. In a small community like The Villages of Hazelwood, where only a handful of homes trade each year, early access to a listing before it reaches the open market can make a real difference. This access comes at no additional cost to buyers. Call Patrick Higgins at 615-682-1718 to ask what may be available off-market.

What is my Villages of Hazelwood home worth in today’s market?

Automated home value tools tend to underperform in a neighborhood like The Villages of Hazelwood, where the comparable pool is small, just 4 closed sales in the past year, and where HOA fees vary from $150 to $200 a month depending on the section. A generic algorithm cannot account for which unit backs up to green space or which one has already replaced its HVAC. Start with an instant estimate at nashvillehomeguru.hifello.com, then call Patrick Higgins at 615-682-1718 for a comparative market analysis grounded in actual closed sales.

We’ve owned in The Villages of Hazelwood for years. How do we price it right?

Long-term owners in The Villages of Hazelwood face a specific pricing challenge: with only 4 closed sales in the past 12 months, there aren’t many recent comps to lean on, and the ones that exist show a real spread in price per square foot. HOA fees have also shifted over time across the two sections, which buyers factor into their offers. Patrick Higgins walks long-term owners through exactly where their home’s condition, updates, and HOA section fall before recommending a list price, so you aren’t leaving money on the table. Call 615-682-1718 to schedule a walkthrough.
