As Nashville grows and changes and gets more populous and more busy, we routinely find ourselves with two very passionate, very opposite kinds of househunters: the lovers of urban life, who are excited to search for a home right in the busy thick of things; and those who miss the days when Nashville was a lot sleepier, and who feel drawn to heading off in search of nearby suburbs that offer more laid-back vibes.
For the latter, we’re usually in search of a balance: those laid-back vibes, but a decent proximity to Nashville, and access to things to do and places to see, too, like restaurants/shopping/independent businesses.
A lot of our clients start with an eye on Brentwood, but more and more, nearby Nolensville is getting the love — and that might be on a serious upswing going forward.
The town’s grown 25 percent since 2010, and this proposal for Nolensville Market Square — a $90 million, 250,000-square-foot development with offices, retail and condos, meant to become a sort of downtown Nolensville — could up its appeal even further.
If you’re thinking about heading away from the Nashville city limits, Nolensville might be worth some exploration. You can get a lot of house for the money, and it’s only about a 30-minute drive from Nashville proper.
Curious about what you can find there? We picked out some properties on the market that we thought give a good indication of the city’s mix of traditional homes and newer builds with historic-leaning style.

1216 Ben Hill Blvd
Nolensville, TN 37135
PRICE: $279,900
A solid picture of the value in Nolensville for a family that’s growing and getting established: almost-new construction with an open main floor, huge bonus space, sizable master suite and two-car garage, well under $300K.

4145 Alva Lane
Nolensville, TN 37135
PRICE: $317,506
For the househunter who’s really drawn to new construction: a tudor-influenced property in Nolensville with the finishes most buyers really want (granite, hardwoods, etc.), a master on the main floor, bonus room upstairs and a covered porch, still at a price point that’s a lot lower than comparable properties in most of Nashville and Brentwood.

1237 Ben Hill Blvd
Nolensville, TN 37135
PRICE: $409,900
At this price point, finding a really large home for a large family right in Nashville — particularly if you’re looking for something move-in ready — can be something of a challenge. Nolensville makes it easier. Case in point: this impeccably kept home with lovely, traditional finishes and tons of space — more than 3,600 square feet — listed at just over $400K.

6006 Fishing Creek Rd
Nolensville, TN 37135
PRICE: $459,900
Another place where you can score in Nolensville: plentiful community amenities with a comparably low association fee. This Bent Creek property is just a few years old, and in nearly new-home shape. In the community, you’ve got a park, playground, pool, walking trail and more, and your monthly association fee is a reasonable $65.

5055 Aunt Nannies Place
Nolensville, TN 37135
PRICE: $499,777
If you’re looking for new construction that takes notes from historic architecture, Bent Creek Reserve might have the perfect fit — you’ll find homes like this Cape Cod-inspired 5-bed, 3 1/2-bath, nearly 5000-square-foot property.
