I wanted to do a tour of this cute little town, Thompsons Station, because so many people have asked for one, it’s such a great place to live, and believe it or not as far as new builds go there is actually some inventory here so be sure to stay tuned for what you might be able to put under contract .. at least until its gone so move fast!! If you prefer to take a video sure be sure to check out my video instead of painfully reading this entire article!!
Thompsons Station is a city just south of Franklin and south of Nashville, and nestled right up against Spring Hill Teneseee. It is located in Williamson County, one of the most sought after counties in the Nashville area right now. And while most of TS is pretty rural.. population here is only about 7500-8000 people so not huge.. but just big enough. And though there isn’t a ton of businesses here in Thompsons Station , it is like I said right by Spring Hill which is much larger and has all the shopping, restaurants and amenities you need. Spring Hill is much larger at around 45k people so a bit of a different vibe there.
But, there are a few cute places you should check out like: H Clark Distillery if you love Whiskey, and if you aren’t into whiskey, they also serve craft cocktails and offer tours and tastings so you can see if you like it for yourself!! Also while there you’ll want to check out the Circa Grill which is an amazing restaurant located right next door serving up some amazing foods.. so be sure to check out their menu. But don’t take my word for the quality of this food.. just look them up on Google and see their almost 450 4.5 star reviews. You will love this place.. promise!
If you’re looking for outdoor activities there is the Battlefield Trail Hilltop preservation park to go for a hike or walk your dog.. and you are so close to Leipers Fork in Franklin Tennessee and the Natchez Trace Parkway for a beautiful drive or bike ride, so lots of outdoor activities here as well.
The commute from Thompsons Station is going to pretty easy to get to downtown Nashville if that’s where you’re heading. It will only take you about 30 mins with no traffic, and a little longer with traffic, but it’s a straight shot up i-65 and traffic in my opinion is not terrible.. but that’s all relative right. 🙂
So the neighborhoods! I wanted to just touch on a few of the newer neighborhoods to get you more familiar with them and so you can see what housing looks like here in Thompsons Station, and talk about if there is any availability at all!! I’m just going to hit some of the newer neighborhoods where you might see some availability but of course if you’re interested in a neighborhood I’m not showing let me know and we can certainly grab you some video!

So there is quite a bit of diversity of housing in this neighborhood and it’s adorable… People who live here absolutely seem to love it and the sense of community.
BRIDGEMORE VILLAGE
Bridgemore Village is such a beautiful community and this neighborhood is a little bit older in a sense, as they started building it in 2007 but only just finished the last new builds this year and those are now sold. So you will be looking for resale in here if this is a neighborhood you love, but they do come up every so often especially since this has been being built for quite a while now. The lots in here are beautiful and it’s rolling in green with lots of trees and I just absolutely think it’s so pretty . Homes in here can be anywhere from about three thousand square feet to sixty five hundred square feet so you can get some really large houses in here and the lots can be anywhere from a quarter to three quarters of an acre and so you get a bit of a variety in lot sizes . You’re going to be zoned for Thompson Station Elementary middle and Summit high school, and they are not far away at all. And in this neighborhood you will have a community pool clubhouse and walking paths. There is just loads of curb appeal in here and striking details and focus on the aesthetic, and they really paid attention to detail in the building at this neighborhood. You can expect to pay $1m plus in here but I feel like you really get that Tennessee feeling in here.
MILL AT BOND SPRINGS
The Mill at Bond Springs is a new neighborhood being built with only a handful of homes being closed on at this point, but many under construction and under contract. There is still quite a bit of opportunity to build in this neighborhood and with some amazing custom builders. Homes are being built in here by builders such as Carbine and Associates, Woodridge homes and many others. All of the lots in here are over an acre and you’re really getting that country Tennessee feel here in this neighborhood with an unparalleled build. If you are looking for some of the most quality builders on some of the most beautiful land this is going to be the neighborhood for you. You will be zoned for Bethesda Elementary, Thompson Station Middle, and Summit High School here in this neighborhood and you are not going to be super close to a lot of amenities like shopping, but the beauty of that is that you get to be further out, a little removed from everything, and enjoy your privacy and space. These are going to be larger homes 4000 to 5000 ft.² and as I mentioned acre lots so tons of space to just spread out and have room to breathe. There are currently homes in this neighborhood on the MLS… With more to come and in this neighborhood you’re going to probably be looking at around 1.7 to 2M plus. But finding an acre lot with an absolutely beautiful home right now under or around 2 million is not the easiest thing to do in Williamson County but you can definitely find out here.
WHISTLE STOP
OK and whistle stop is going to be our last stop of the day and there is a lot of availability in this neighborhood. This neighborhood is located right next to that amazing restaurant and whiskey distillery that I mentioned before .. So I’m thinking if you buy in here these are going to be your favorite hangouts. You would be zoned for Heritage Elementary here Heritage middle and Independence high school so be sure to check those out. This neighborhood just started being built in 2020 and is still going strong with lots of sales left to take place. It has been built out by many different builders some including Dries, Tennessee valley homes and RG Custom Builders . lot size in here is going to be about a quarter to a third of an acre or possibly more even up to a half an acre , and home size from about 3700 ft.² up to about almost 5000 ft.² probably and you’re probably looking to pay just over 1,000,000 to 1.2 to start building in this neighborhood and there is plenty of opportunity to still do so if you decide that you love it here. The community will feature a community pool as well as walking paths that are still to come.
As you can see it’s going to be a beautiful community and a great place to live… But one thing to note is that this neighborhood is near a railroad track… Hence the name of the community so if you wouldn’t love the sound of an occasional train this might not be the place for you.

There is so much more we could cover on Thompson’s Station, but this is a great jumping off point into some of the most popular neighborhoods right now. As I mentioned before I’m happy to grab footage of any neighborhood for those interested just be sure to reach out to me with your questions!!
