Suburban living with a Nashville address

Imagine living close to greenways, a golf course, a major shopping mall and restaurants. South Hampton has them all, including rolling hills and the Harpeth River, which runs along the length of the community, giving it its gentle curves. “Here, residents can enjoy convenient access to Downtown Nashville, only 17 miles away, yet their yards are larger and the homes less costly than much of Nashville,” says Casey Parsons, a broker associate with Zeitlin Sotheby’s International Realty, who lives only 10 minutes outside the neighborhood. “In South Hampton, you have access to the city but can enjoy a suburban life, which appeals to many Nashville homebuyers.”

The college connection

One surprising set of buyers attracted to South Hampton are college students. “Highway 100 and Highway 70 take residents right to Vanderbilt and Belmont universities,” Parsons says. Some students live in the neighborhood’s condos and townhouses, which start at $425,000. “You get more bang for your buck on a house,” Parsons says. “Many families buy homes to turn into income properties once their students finish school.”

Larger lots are the rule

Homes in South Hampton range from modest ranch-style houses starting at $330,000 to large contemporaries about double the size for $740,000. What’s noticeable, however, is the size of the lots. Most homes sit on nearly a third of an acre of land. Properties here are impeccably maintained, some by their original owners. South Hampton was developed in the late 1980s, so one owner per home is common. Some are beautiful brick colonials set on hilltops with stunning sunset views. Others enjoy two-car garages and extra storage space in basements large enough to convert into offices, home gyms, music studios or additional living space. Most South Hampton properties belong to an HOA that gives homeowners access to community amenities, such as playgrounds and pools.

Things to do along the Harpeth River

The Harpeth Valley Golf Center is a public 9-hole, par 3 walking course and golf learning center with putting greens, a PGA/LPGA teaching staff and a full-service pro shop. The course is bordered by the Harpeth River and the tree-lined Harpeth River Greenway Trail, where residents can run, bike or walk for 4 miles along the river to Edwin Warner Park.
