Weakley Hills Estates

SMYRNA’S ESTABLISHED FAMILY COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life in Weakley Hills Estates

Weakley Hills Estates sits just off Weakley Lane in Smyrna, Tennessee (zip code 37167), tucked into a quiet pocket of Rutherford County with easy access to everything the area has to offer. Streets in the neighborhood include Austin Avenue, Edison Circle, Robertson Drive, Spring Circle, and Weakley Lane itself — names that longtime Smyrna residents know well.

Getting around from Weakley Hills is straightforward. Sam Ridley Parkway and I-24 are both close by, putting downtown Nashville roughly 30 minutes away and Murfreesboro about 15 minutes to the east. Day-to-day errands, grocery shopping, and dining are all within a short drive along Nissan Drive and Sam Ridley. Percy Priest Lake, one of Middle Tennessee’s most popular recreation destinations, is nearby — a draw for homebuyers who want outdoor access without sacrificing suburban convenience.

Smyrna itself has grown considerably over the past decade, with the Nissan North America manufacturing plant remaining the area’s largest employer and a steady pipeline of new businesses adding to the local economy. For buyers weighing Smyrna against neighboring cities, Weakley Hills offers something increasingly rare: an established neighborhood with mature trees, larger lot sizes, and no HOA — all at a price point well below the Nashville metro median.

The Homes in Weakley Hills Estates

Weakley Hills Estates is a well-established single-family community with homes built primarily from the early 1970s through the mid-1980s. The neighborhood predates the era of cookie-cutter subdivisions, which means homes here tend to have more individual character than you’ll find in newer planned communities nearby.

Most homes are traditional one- and two-story designs with brick and wood exteriors. Ranch-style floor plans are common throughout the neighborhood, with many homes offering main-level living. Square footage typically runs from around 1,600 to 2,600 square feet, and lot sizes are generous — several parcels exceed half an acre, which is uncommon in Smyrna neighborhoods built in more recent decades.

There is no HOA in Weakley Hills Estates, meaning no annual dues and no architectural review board. For buyers who want freedom to use their property — park an RV, build a workshop, customize their landscaping — that matters. Homes here generally offer 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms, with ample garage and outdoor storage space. Many have been updated by current owners with renovated kitchens, refreshed baths, and new HVAC and roofing systems.

Amenities & Community Features

Weakley Hills Estates is a no-frills community in the best sense — there’s no clubhouse to maintain, no pool assessments, and no HOA board to answer to. What the neighborhood does have is space, privacy, and access to the amenities that Smyrna has built out over the past two decades.

Percy Priest Lake and the surrounding Army Corps of Engineers land sits close by, offering boat ramps, fishing, hiking trails, and picnic areas that residents can use year-round. The Smyrna Greenway and Veteran’s Memorial Park are short drives away and provide walking and biking paths, sports fields, and open green space. For everyday convenience, Sam Ridley Parkway has a well-developed commercial corridor with grocery stores, restaurants, retail, and medical facilities.

Smyrna Municipal Airport, one of the busiest general aviation airports in Tennessee, is located just a few miles away — a practical advantage for buyers who fly privately or work in aviation. Nashville International Airport is roughly 25 to 30 minutes northwest via I-24.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru to Buy or Sell in Weakley Hills Estates

Weakley Hills Estates is a small, tightly held neighborhood where homes rarely come to market. With only 3 closed sales in the past 12 months, timing and local knowledge matter more here than in high-turnover subdivisions. Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass have been tracking Rutherford County markets for years and can tell you exactly what a home here is worth, what’s realistic to negotiate, and what buyers in this price range are prioritizing right now.

Patrick is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads the #1 team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee per Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings, and has completed over 1,100 transactions totaling more than $500M in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee. That track record means direct experience across all price points, from first-time buyer ranges to luxury sales, throughout Rutherford, Williamson, Davidson, and surrounding counties.

As part of Compass — the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume — the Nashville Home Guru team brings national reach with deep local roots. After Compass’s 2024 merger with Parks Real Estate, Compass agents are now involved in approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee. That network matters when you’re trying to find a buyer fast or access listings before they hit the MLS.

For sellers, Compass’s Three Phase Marketing Strategy consistently outperforms traditional listings. Pre-marketed homes close at 2.9% higher prices, go to contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price drop. Here’s how it works:

Phase 1 — Compass Private Exclusive: Your listing is shared with Compass agents and their buyers before going public. You get real market feedback on pricing without accumulating days on market or a public price history.

Phase 2 — Compass Coming Soon: Your home launches on Compass.com to a wider audience. Buyers can find it, but they can’t see DOM or price changes yet. Demand builds before public launch.

Phase 3 — Public Launch: Your home goes live on MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, and all third-party platforms — with pre-built demand, a clean pricing history, and maximum visibility from day one.

Price per square foot has ranged from $176 to $267 depending on the home’s size, condition, and updates.

This is one of the features that consistently attracts buyers to the neighborhood, particularly those who want the freedom to park boats or RVs, run a home-based business, or make exterior modifications without seeking approval.

What schools serve Weakley Hills Estates?

Weakley Hills Estates is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Current assignments are John Colemon Elementary, Smyrna Middle School, and Smyrna High School. Rutherford County Schools is a large, well-funded district with a strong track record of academic programs and facility investment. Always confirm current attendance zones directly with Rutherford County Schools, as boundaries can change.

How old are the homes in Weakley Hills Estates?

Homes in Weakley Hills Estates were built primarily between 1972 and 1985. Most are brick and wood construction, and many have been updated by current owners. When evaluating older homes, buyers should pay particular attention to HVAC age, roofing, electrical panels, and plumbing updates — all items a good home inspection will cover.

What lot sizes are typical in Weakley Hills Estates?

Lots in Weakley Hills Estates are notably generous by Smyrna standards. Recent sales have included parcels from 0.47 to over 1 acre, significantly larger than what you’ll typically find in newer subdivisions in the area. That space translates to more privacy, room for outdoor structures, and less of the tight-lot feel common in post-2010 developments.

What type of buyer is Weakley Hills Estates best suited for?

Weakley Hills Estates tends to appeal to buyers who prioritize space, privacy, and value over amenity packages and HOA-managed common areas. Families looking for larger lots, established trees, and good schools in Rutherford County are a natural fit. Move-up buyers coming from smaller townhomes or newer cookie-cutter neighborhoods also find the character and square footage here appealing. It’s also a solid choice for buyers who want a detached garage, outdoor workshop space, or room for recreational vehicles without dealing with HOA rules.

Why should I work with Nashville Home Guru to buy or sell in Weakley Hills Estates?
