Area Highlights
A quick view of what defines Spring Hill.
What to Expect Living in Spring Hill
Spring Hill is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee. It counted 50,005 people at the 2020 census, and the Census Bureau’s estimate for July 2025 is 61,336, with new neighborhoods still opening on both sides of the county line.
What that means day to day: builders are active on both sides of the line, so new construction is a real part of the market, and a lot of what you see is recent. The tradeoff, stated honestly: this is a suburb, not a town square. Spring Hill is not especially walkable, and the growth has outpaced the roads in places. If you want a historic square within walking distance, look at Franklin or Columbia. If you want a newer house on a yard with a short drive to Franklin, this is the spot.
Tennessee has no state income tax on wages. Property tax is the one to understand here, and it depends on which county your address is in.
City government. Spring Hill is run by a Board of Mayor and Aldermen: the mayor and eight aldermen, elected at large from four wards. City Hall is at 199 Town Center Parkway. One thing that surprises people: by the Census Bureau’s county boundaries, City Hall sits on the Maury County side of the line.
Police and fire. The Spring Hill Police Department is at 800 Hathaway Boulevard, and the Spring Hill Fire Department runs its administration from 440 Beechcroft Road. Fire Station 4, at Buckner Lane and Duplex Road, opened on November 21, 2025 and was the city’s first new firehouse since 2015.
Water, sewer and trash. Spring Hill Water manages water, sewer and stormwater for the city, and the city bills monthly for water, sewer, garbage, recycling and stormwater together. Waste Management picks up trash curbside every week and recycling every other week under a city contract. Electric service depends on the address, so I confirm the provider on every house.
Property tax. The City of Spring Hill levies and collects its own property tax, separate from the counties. County tax is paid through whichever county your address is in, so a Spring Hill homeowner can owe a city bill and a Williamson or Maury County bill.
Library. The Spring Hill Public Library is at 144 Kedron Parkway.
Nearby. Measured between town centers with no traffic, Columbia is about 11 road miles south, Thompson’s Station about 5, Franklin about 14 and Brentwood about 29. Each has its own guide.
The County Line: Why It Changes Everything
Here is what almost nobody explains before you start touring homes in Spring Hill: the north part of the city is in Williamson County and the south part is in Maury County, and the line runs through the city, not around it. Same city name, same ZIP code, same mailing address format. Different county.
That line decides three things. The school district, which is Williamson County Schools or Maury County Public Schools. The county that bills your property tax, since each county sets its own rate and the City of Spring Hill adds its own tax on top. And the county that records your deed. Where does the line fall? It is not a clean east-west line. Using the Census Bureau’s county boundaries, Harvey Park, June Lake and the Williamson County Schools elementary and middle schools in Spring Hill are on the Williamson side, while City Hall, the library, the police station, Fischer Park, Rippa Villa and the new Publix are on the Maury side. For any specific address, the county shows on the property’s tax record, and I check it before we tour.
On the Williamson side, the communities people ask about most are Wades Grove, August Park and June Lake. On the Maury side they are Harvest Point and Southern Springs. If Williamson County Schools are non-negotiable, you will be looking at the north and northeast. If you would rather have more square footage per dollar, the Maury side is where many buyers look.
I leave dollar figures off this page because they go stale fast, but the pattern is steady: homes on the Williamson side have consistently priced higher than comparable homes on the Maury side, and buyers pay that difference for the school district and the land. If you are weighing the two sides, text me and I will send you this month’s closings for each.
One warning I give every Spring Hill buyer: verify school zoning by address, not by subdivision name and not by what the listing says. Growth here has produced zoning lines that do not follow the map you would expect. Call me at 615-392-1186 and I will pull the zoning for any specific address before you write an offer.
Spring Hill, TN Homes for Sale: Neighborhoods and New Construction
Spring Hill’s housing splits first by county and then by age. Newer communities fill most of the map, and builders are active on both sides of the line. The names below are the ones I get asked about most, sorted by county because the county decides the schools.
Spring Hill, TN neighborhoods and new construction homes
- June Lake (Williamson County). A 775-acre mixed-use development at the northeast corner of the city, with more than 2,900 residential units planned alongside office, retail, restaurant and hotel space, according to the developer. It is served by the June Lake Boulevard interchange at Exit 55.
- August Park (Williamson County Schools). A Toll Brothers community in Spring Hill with assignment to Williamson County Schools.
- Wades Grove (Williamson County). A Williamson County community on the north side of the city.
- Harvest Point (Maury County). On Harvest Point Boulevard on the west side of the city.
- Southern Springs (Maury County). Del Webb’s active adult community on the south side of the city, announced in 2015 with 600 homes planned on more than 300 acres. Ask me what is on the market there.
Spring Hill has other communities on both sides of the line, and builders keep adding sections. If you have a street or a builder in mind, I will tell you the county and the school zone before you tour.
How Spring Hill prices work
I do not print price figures here because they would be out of date within a month. What I can tell you is how the market behaves: the county line sets the biggest difference, and new construction is the competition every resale home is priced against. Text me and I will send you this month’s closings for the neighborhoods you are considering.
Selling in Spring Hill: What You’re Up Against
If you are selling a resale home in Spring Hill, understand what you are competing with. Builders are active on both sides of the county line, and they regularly advertise incentives such as closing-cost credits and rate buydowns through their preferred lenders. An individual seller cannot easily match that.
Buyers shop payments, not prices. A price cut changes a monthly payment by a little, while a rate buydown of the same cost changes it by a lot more. So a resale seller needs a different lever, and there is one specific to this market that few listings use.
Assumable loans. FHA and VA loans are assumable. If you bought or refinanced in 2020 or 2021, your rate may be well below today’s, and a qualified buyer can take over your loan at your original rate instead of getting a new one. A builder cannot offer that. Two things to know: the buyer generally has to cover the gap between your loan balance and the sale price, and an assumption often takes longer than conventional financing because the servicer controls the process. I wrote up how it works in my guide to assumable mortgages in Middle Tennessee, and VA borrowers can start with the veterans page.
If the assumable angle does not fit your situation, there are other paths. A cash offer removes the appraisal and the financing contingency when certainty matters more than top dollar. Seller financing can bring a higher price plus monthly income if you have equity and flexibility, and my seller financing calculator shows the numbers. And a traditional listing still works when it is priced against both resale and new-construction competition.
Most Spring Hill sellers get shown one path. I would rather lay out all of them and tell you which one I would pick if it were my house. Call or text 615-392-1186.
Getting Around: Commutes and Highway Access
Saturn Parkway (SR 396) is the main artery to I-65. Since May 31, 2024 the city has had two direct connections to the interstate: Saturn Parkway at Exit 53, and Exit 55 at Buckner Road and June Lake Boulevard, a diverging diamond interchange. If you live on the north or east side, Exit 55 may be the easier on-ramp.
Road miles from Spring Hill City Hall, measured with no traffic, so add time at rush hour:
- Downtown Franklin. About 14 miles, roughly 22 minutes. See the Franklin guide.
- Cool Springs and the Galleria. About 22 miles, roughly 29 minutes.
- Downtown Nashville. About 38 miles to the State Capitol, roughly 47 minutes.
- Nashville airport (BNA). About 38 miles, roughly 50 minutes.
- Downtown Columbia. About 11 miles, roughly 18 minutes. See the Columbia guide.
- Thompson’s Station. About 5 miles, roughly 9 minutes.
The Census Bureau puts the average commute for Spring Hill workers at about 30 minutes. That is an average, and your own number depends on where you are going and when you leave. Growth has outpaced road capacity in spots, so drive your actual route at your actual departure time before you commit to a neighborhood.
Jobs, GM, and Relocating to Spring Hill
Spring Hill has an anchor most suburbs don’t: General Motors’ Spring Hill Manufacturing, which opened in 1990 at 100 Saturn Parkway on a 2,100-acre campus that includes assembly, stamping, engine and battery work. Today the plant builds the Cadillac XT5, XT6, LYRIQ and VISTIQ, along with the 2.7-liter turbo engine used in Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Chevrolet Blazer production is scheduled to begin in 2027, and in June 2026 GM announced new investment at the complex for a future Cadillac and for the engine program.
Next door, Ultium Cells, GM’s battery joint venture with LG Energy Solution, began making energy storage cells in June 2026. In late September 2026 it announced an upgrade to build a different cell for future GM electric vehicles, with the work finishing in 2028 and 500 new jobs projected on top of about 1,200 employees today.
For homeowners that matters more than it seems. A large manufacturing employer inside the city means a base of buyers who do not commute to Nashville, and a local economy that does not ride entirely on downtown office jobs. It also means relocations. A GM transfer is a harder move than the brochures suggest: a house to sell in one state and a house to buy here, at the same time, on a corporate timeline you do not control.
One practical note nobody mentions: manufacturing runs shifts, and a 6 a.m. shift change is a completely different commute than a 9-to-5. It should change which neighborhoods you look at and how close you want to be to the interchanges. If you are being transferred, call or text 615-392-1186 before you list your current home.
Things to Do in Spring Hill, TN: Parks, History and the Duck River
Fischer Park at Port Royal, 4285 Port Royal Road, is the city’s largest park at 30 acres. It has a playground, a splash pad, the Veterans Wall and Plaza, three football and soccer fields, tennis and basketball courts, a 3,000-foot walking path, amphitheater seating and three pavilions. Harvey Park, 4001 Miles Johnson Parkway, adds pavilions, a playground, a walking trail and restrooms, and the city’s plan calls for a 1.3-mile paved greenway to link it to Wilkes Lane. The city also runs a skate park, the Barkley Dog Park and the Winchester Community Center, and its events calendar includes Hill Fest, Movie in the Park and the Christmas Parade.
Rippa Villa, 5700 Main Street, is the easiest place to see Spring Hill’s history under all the new construction. The house was built in 1855 and was in the middle of the Civil War on November 29, 1864. The Battle of Franklin Trust runs guided tours of the house and a walking tour of historic downtown Spring Hill.
The Duck River runs through Columbia, about 11 road miles south of City Hall. The state wildlife agency calls it “a globally important repository of biological diversity,” with about 151 species of fish and dozens of mussel species. Paddling and fishing are both a short drive away.
Food and fun. Fozzy’s Bar & Grill on Stephen P. Yokich Parkway is the sit-down spot near the GM plant. Nelly’s Italian Cafe & Pizza on Main Street does New York style by the slice and Chicago style by the pie. Tennessee Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy on Main Street was Spring Hill’s first BJJ school and runs classes for kids and adults. Back Nine Golf on Nasdaq Street is indoor simulator golf, open around the clock. Check hours before you go on a weekend.
The newest Publix opened on September 13, 2025 at Spring Hill Towne Crossing, 1021 Jim Warren Parkway. June Lake, the 775-acre development at the northeast corner of the city, is planned to add retail, restaurants, offices and hotel rooms over time.
For a bigger night out, downtown Franklin and its historic Main Street are about 14 miles north.
Public School Zoning in Spring Hill, TN
Spring Hill has no school district of its own. Students attend Williamson County Schools or Maury County Public Schools depending on which side of the county line their address falls on, and that is the single most common surprise for buyers. Confirm zoning by the specific address with the district itself before you write an offer: Williamson County Schools has a school zone lookup and Maury County Public Schools has a find my zoned school page. Subdivision names, listing sheets and school-finder sites all get this wrong in a growing market.
Williamson County Schools with a Spring Hill address: Allendale Elementary, 2100 Prescott Way; Amanda H. North Elementary, 1726 Wilkes Lane; Chapman’s Retreat Elementary, 1000 Secluded Lane; Longview Elementary, 2929 Commonwealth Drive; Spring Station Middle, 1000 Spring Station Drive; and Summit High, 2830 Austins Way.
Maury County Public Schools serving Spring Hill: Battle Creek Elementary, 165 Battle Creek Way; Marvin Wright Elementary, 4714 Derryberry Lane; Spring Hill Elementary, 5359 Main Street; Battle Creek Middle, 121 Battle Creek Way; Spring Hill Middle, 3501 Cleburne Road; Battle Creek High, 130 Battle Creek Way; and Spring Hill High, 1 Raider Lane, which carries a Columbia mailing address.
Private school: Spring Hill Christian Academy is at 500 Saturn Parkway.
Common Questions About Spring Hill, TN
What county is Spring Hill, TN in?
Both. Spring Hill sits in two counties: the north part of the city is in Williamson County and the south part is in Maury County. The line runs through the city, so the county depends on the address.
Which part of Spring Hill is in Williamson County and which is in Maury County?
The Williamson County side covers the north and northeast, including Harvey Park, June Lake and the Williamson County Schools elementary and middle schools in the city. The Maury County side includes City Hall, the library, the police station, Fischer Park and Rippa Villa. The line is not a straight east-west line, so check the county on the property’s tax record before you tour.

Does Spring Hill have its own school district?
No. Spring Hill is served by two districts: Williamson County Schools on the north side and Maury County Public Schools on the south side, depending on the address. Use each district’s zone lookup to confirm a specific house before you write an offer.
Is Spring Hill, Tennessee a good place to live?
For a newer house on a yard, a large employer inside the city limits and a short drive to Franklin, many people find it fits. The trade-offs are real: it is a suburb rather than a town square, growth has outpaced the roads in places, and the county line splits the city into two school districts and two property tax bills. Know which side you are buying on.
What are the best neighborhoods in Spring Hill, TN?
It depends on the county and on what you want from a home. On the Williamson side, Wades Grove, August Park and June Lake are the names I hear most. On the Maury side, Harvest Point and Southern Springs, an active adult community by Del Webb. Confirm school zoning by address before you decide.
Why is Spring Hill, TN so expensive, and is it expensive to live here?
The Williamson County side has consistently priced above the Maury County side for comparable homes, tied to the school district and land. New construction also sets a high bar for resale homes of the same size. Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, and property tax depends on which county your address is in. I keep current figures off this page because they go stale fast; text me and I will send this month’s closings.
Is there new construction in Spring Hill?
Yes, on both sides of the county line. Builders are active across the city and regularly advertise incentives such as closing-cost credits and rate buydowns. If you are buying new, I can compare the builder’s offer against resale homes nearby so you see the real difference in monthly payment.
How do I sell my house fast in Spring Hill, TN?
You can take a cash offer, or you can list on the market and price it against both resale and new construction. I lay out both paths for your home so the sale matches your timeline and your goals, from established neighborhoods to newer developments.
Is Spring Hill a good place to sell a home right now?
Demand here is supported by the GM plant and the I-65 corridor between Franklin and Columbia. What matters most is pricing against both resale homes and the builders’ incentives, which is where I start with every seller here.
How do I sell my Spring Hill home if I’m relocating for work?
Line the sale up with your move-out date, or take a cash offer for a firm closing. I help relocating sellers, including those tied to the GM plant or transferring out of the area, sequence the sale around the job timeline.
Can I sell my Spring Hill home as-is?
Yes. You can sell as-is, without repairs or staging. A cash offer is useful when you want to skip showings, while a market sale may bring more for a well-kept home. I compare both so the choice is clear.
Should I sell my Spring Hill home before buying my next one?
It depends on your equity and how competitive your next purchase is. I can sequence the sale and the purchase so you avoid carrying two mortgages or moving twice.
