Franklin’s commercial corridor
While downtown Franklin is the city’s historic district, Councilwoman Beverly Burger describes the McEwen area as the “More modern area of our city, along Interstate 65, where there are a lot of corporate headquarters.” More commonly referred to as CoolSprings, this community is home to the CoolSprings Galleria, one of the Nashville metro’s three major malls. Residents of McEwen live in upscale suburban homes or new apartments close to this busy commercial corridor. When not working, they often shop for natural foods at one of the trendy grocery stores or meet up for drinks and dinner at a regional or national chain restaurant. “There’s the downtown and, yeah, that’s the more quaint small country town feel, but where they’re actually going to dinners and doing things that's CoolSprings. There’s a trampoline park for the kids and luxury car dealerships there, too,” says Kelsea McAuliffe, a Realtor with NexGen Realty Group at Keller Williams, who lives in this part of Franklin.

Traditional, Colonial Revivals and new communities with classic styles
Brick contemporary Traditional and Colonial Revivals in hilly subdivisions make up much of McEwen’s housing. Some ranch-style homes on larger lots exist outside of downtown, while the neighborhood's southern end has a dense mix of townhouses and brand-new subdivisions. Many homes in the south end were built no earlier than the mid-2010s, but several still exhibit classic styles like American Foursquare, Tudor Revival and Craftsman bungalow architecture. Depending on size and age, about half of the single-family homes here cost between $550,000 to $750,000. However, homes with footprints well over 2,500 square feet can go from $800,000 to $1.5 million. Townhouses here often have footprints between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet, and cost between $550,000 and $750,000.

Shopping, dining and entertainment around the CoolSprings Galleria
Although malls nationwide have struggled, the CoolSprings Galleria continues to see some foot traffic. Businesses at this massive shopping site include brand-name apparel shops and an Apple store. The CoolSprings corridor also has office parks with sleek corporate buildings. Companies headquartered here include Mars Petcare, Mitsubishi Motors North America and Nissan Americas, one of Nashville metro’s largest employers. Local eateries include Sperry’s Restaurant, a steak house with a vintage pub interior, or Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille and the Blue Sushi Sake Grill, two popular upscale chains. “I actually went there one night, and Kourtney Kardashian was there. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’” McAuliffe says, recalling a visit to Blue. Tony’s Eat & Drink provides a spacious sports bar with garage-style doors that can open during temperate weather. The Tin Roof 2 is part of a Nashville chain known for its bar food and live music. Grocery stores include Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.
