Important: 37135 Spans Three Counties

The 37135 ZIP code covers portions of Williamson County, Davidson County, and Rutherford County. The county your home sits in determines your property tax rate, your school district, and in many cases your home's value. These are not minor differences.

  • Williamson County: The dominant portion of 37135. Williamson County Schools — including Nolensville High School (opened 2016, consistently top-ranked in the state). Highest property values. This is what most buyers expect when they search "Nolensville."
  • Davidson County: Portions of the Burkitt Road corridor — including parts of Carothers Farms and the Burkitt Place/Commons/Ridge/Springs/Village communities. Feeds Metro Nashville Public Schools, not Williamson County Schools. Some streets have Davidson County on one side and Williamson County on the other. Prices are typically lower than the Williamson side.
  • Rutherford County: A smaller slice in the southeast corridor — The Ridge and McFarlin Point off Lake Road. Rutherford County Schools. Generally mid-range pricing between Williamson and Davidson.

Never assume a Nolensville address means Williamson County. Verify county by specific address before making an offer. We do this on every transaction we run here.

Experience It

A Saturday in Nolensville

You're 20 minutes from downtown Nashville but it genuinely feels like a different world. Here's how the day goes.

Morning

Nolensville Farmers Market + Just Love Coffee

The Saturday morning farmers market runs year-round in the parking lot of Mill Creek Church on Nolensville Road — local produce, pasture-raised meats, artisan baked goods, live music. Then coffee at Just Love, where the Nutella-stuffed waffles have built a devoted following. It's an unhurried morning that takes all of 10 minutes to understand why people choose this town.

🏘️
Mid-Morning

Historic Downtown Nolensville

A short stretch of Nolensville Road lined with 19th-century buildings housing antique shops, boutiques, the Nolensville Feed Mill, and the Nolensville Toy Shop — a genuinely wonderful place if you have kids. Walk the pedestrian bridge behind the Amish store. It's the kind of downtown that hasn't been manufactured for Instagram, which is exactly why it works.

🍖
Lunch

Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint

Martin's got its start in Nolensville and this is still where many regulars prefer to eat it. West Tennessee-style whole-hog barbecue, generous portions, the redneck taco with brisket. The new location is bigger than the original — still no pretense, still the real thing. It's become one of the best-known BBQ operations in the Southeast, and it started right here.

🍎
Afternoon

Morning Glory Orchard or Arrington Vineyards

Morning Glory Orchard is just outside town — pick-your-own fruit, cider slushies, farm store. In fall it's one of the better apple-picking operations in Middle Tennessee. Or skip the farm and drive 20 minutes to Arrington Vineyards for a glass on the hillside. Both feel like a complete answer to the question "but what do you do out there?"

🍺
Evening

Mill Creek Brewing Co.

Nolensville's de facto living room. Dog-friendly patio, award-winning Smashville Burger, a solid rotating tap list, and a packed events calendar: trivia nights, live music, food trucks, the annual Broken Wheel Festival. This is where the town takes its evenings — relaxed, genuinely community-rooted, and not trying to be anything it isn't.

The historic Nolensville Road corridor and the Sunset Road area — including the established luxury community of Benington (~194 custom homes, half-acre lots, wooded common areas) — represent the most architecturally interesting and community-connected part of town. Benington alone has a trail system connecting to downtown Nolensville, Sunset Elementary, and the Williamson County Recreation Complex. This is the part of Nolensville that people who love the character of the town tend to gravitate toward. Firmly Williamson County throughout.

Scales Farmstead, Telfair, and the upper end of the Benington corridor house Nolensville's luxury market — large lots, quality construction, custom finishes, and the kind of privacy that Brentwood used to offer before it got dense. Proximity to Brentwood and Cool Springs without the Brentwood price premium. These communities are consistently where Nolensville's strongest appreciation has been concentrated, and where inventory is tightest. Williamson County throughout — zoned for Sunset and Nolensville High School.

Fairington, Annecy, and Arrington Retreat are among the newer planned communities in 37135 that sit solidly on the Williamson County side. Zoned for Nolensville Elementary, Mill Creek Middle, and Nolensville High School. Fairington's master plan even includes a dedicated site for a future Williamson County elementary school within the community — a meaningful indicator of long-term infrastructure commitment. Buyers wanting new construction with confirmed Williamson County zoning should start here.

⚠ Mixed — verify by lot

Carothers Farms is the most active new construction community in 37135 by volume — condos, townhomes, and single-family homes across a wide price range, with on-site retail, dog parks, and walking trails. The catch: it straddles the Davidson–Williamson county line. Some homes are zoned for Williamson County Schools; others feed into Metro Nashville (A.Z. Kelley Elementary, Thurgood Marshall Middle, Cane Ridge High). Some streets have the county line running between homes on opposite sides. The Burkitt Place/Commons/Ridge/Springs/Village communities along Burkitt Road are similarly mixed. This area offers the best entry point into a Nolensville mailing address — but school zoning must be verified at the specific lot level, without exception.

Rutherford County

Two neighborhoods with Nolensville mailing addresses that sit in Rutherford County, off Lake Road in the southeastern edge of the ZIP. McFarlin Point is the more established community; The Ridge is newer. Rutherford County Schools apply here — not Williamson. Prices fall between the Davidson and Williamson portions of the ZIP, and the setting is generally more rural. Buyers who want the 37135 address and more square footage per dollar than the Williamson County side, and are comfortable with Rutherford County schools, find these communities worth a look.

Market Data

Real Estate Market Overview

Nolensville in 2026 is a bifurcated market: the Williamson County side is holding firm and trading at a premium, while the Davidson County portion offers genuine entry-point value for buyers who don't require Williamson County schools.

Williamson County Side

Core 37135 market · Premium priced

Median closer to $1M+. Homes under $850K see strong buyer interest. Luxury above $1.5M has longer DOM. Nolensville High School zoning commands meaningful premium over comparable Davidson County product.

Davidson County Side

Burkitt / Carothers Farms · Entry point

Townhomes from $330K, single-family from $430K+. Meaningful price discount vs. Williamson side. Active Metro Nashville school district applies. Best-value entry into a Nolensville address for buyers who prioritize community over specific school district.

Rutherford County Side

The Ridge / McFarlin Point · Mid-range

Prices between Williamson and Davidson sides. More rural setting off Lake Road. Rutherford County Schools. Typically offers more square footage per dollar than the Williamson portion — the tradeoff is school district and a bit more distance from the town center.

For buyers: Nolensville is one of the few places in Middle Tennessee where you can still find meaningful value relative to Brentwood and Franklin — but only if you're buying on the right side of the county line. Well-priced homes in confirmed Williamson County zones are still moving. The extended days on market reflect the overall metro correction and some seller pricing stubbornness, not a broken market. 57% of homes have sold below asking — buyers who do their homework are negotiating real concessions right now.

For sellers: The market still rewards correctly priced, move-in ready homes. The Williamson County side — especially under $1M — continues to attract serious buyer interest from Nashville/Brentwood commuters and out-of-state relocators. Overpriced listings are sitting. The town's identity and school district remain genuine demand drivers that most Williamson County suburbs can't replicate.

Local Knowledge

Insider Insights

🗺️

The County Line Is Not Obvious on the Ground

In the Burkitt/Carothers Farms area, the Davidson–Williamson county line runs between homes on opposite sides of the same street. There's no sign. There's no fence. The listing address won't tell you. Verify county by legal parcel data before making an offer — not by neighborhood name, not by asking the listing agent what they think it is. We run this check on every single transaction we do in 37135.

🏫

Nolensville High School Is the Draw

Nolensville High School opened in 2016 and has quickly become one of the highest-rated high schools in the state. It's the single biggest driver of buyer demand on the Williamson County side of 37135. Buyers who aren't school-focused often underestimate how much it affects pricing — and how much negotiating room exists on the Davidson County side for buyers who don't need it.

🛒

The Village Green Changes the Daily Life Math

The Publix-anchored Village Green opened in 2025 and added meaningful daily-errand infrastructure that was previously missing from Nolensville proper. Combined with Cool Springs 10–15 minutes north, the "but where do you shop?" objection that used to be a real friction point is largely answered now.

🏗️

Nolensville Town Square Is Coming

A 27-acre mixed-use development with 400+ homes and retail space is planned for the town center corridor. This will significantly expand the commercial core and add density that most current residents haven't seen here before. Long-horizon buyers should understand the character of the town is still evolving — for better and for worse.

🚗

Two Routes — Know Which One You'll Use

Nolensville Road runs north directly toward downtown Nashville — about 20 miles, typically 25–30 minutes off-peak. I-65 is accessible via Concord Road or Moores Lane and routes toward Brentwood and Cool Springs more quickly. Buyers commuting to Cool Springs or Brentwood will find the drive materially more pleasant than buyers heading downtown. Know your actual commute route before you fall in love with a neighborhood on the wrong side of town.

💰

The Williamson–Davidson Price Gap Is Real Leverage

The price difference between comparable homes on the Williamson County side vs. the Davidson County side of 37135 is often $150K–$250K+ — almost entirely attributable to school district. For buyers without school-age children, or buyers who are open to Metro Nashville schools, the Davidson County portion of Nolensville represents one of the sharper value plays in the metro area right now.

Common Questions

Nolensville FAQ

Is Nolensville in Williamson County?
Mostly — but not entirely. The 37135 ZIP code spans Williamson County, Davidson County, and a small slice of Rutherford County. The majority of the town and most of the established neighborhoods sit in Williamson County. However, the Burkitt Road corridor (Burkitt Place, Commons, Ridge, Springs, Village) and portions of Carothers Farms are in Davidson County. The Ridge and McFarlin Point off Lake Road are in Rutherford County. The county your specific property is in determines your school district, property tax rate, and in many cases your home's value. Never assume — verify by legal parcel data before making an offer.
What is the median home price in Nolensville?
It depends significantly on which county the home is in. Across 37135 as a whole, the median sold price has been tracking in the $700K–$780K range in late 2025. The Williamson County side of the ZIP consistently runs higher — medians closer to $1M, with luxury properties well above $1.5M. The Davidson County side offers entry-level townhomes from the low $330s and single-family homes from the $430s–$600s. Average price per square foot in active listings is approximately $329. Verify against RealTracs before publishing.
What schools serve Nolensville?
Williamson County Schools serve the majority of 37135 — including Nolensville Elementary, Mill Creek Elementary, Sunset Elementary, Jordan Elementary, Mill Creek Middle, Sunset Middle, and Nolensville High School (opened 2016, consistently among the top-ranked high schools in the state). The Davidson County portion feeds Metro Nashville Public Schools: A.Z. Kelley Elementary, Thurgood Marshall Middle, and Cane Ridge High School. The Rutherford County portion feeds Rutherford County Schools. Because the county line runs through certain neighborhoods — and in some cases through individual streets — school zoning must be verified at the specific lot level before making an offer. Neighborhood names and listing agent representations are not reliable substitutes for parcel-level verification.
How far is Nolensville from Nashville and Brentwood?
Nolensville sits about 17–20 miles southwest of downtown Nashville — typically a 25–30 minute drive via Nolensville Road heading north. Brentwood is closer: 10–15 minutes via Concord Road to I-65. Cool Springs/Franklin is 10–15 minutes north as well. Buyers who work in Brentwood or Cool Springs find the commute considerably easier than buyers heading downtown Nashville. There is no commuter rail to Nolensville — it's a car-dependent community. See our Nashville commute times guide for corridor comparisons.
How does Nolensville compare to Franklin and Brentwood?
All three are Williamson County suburbs with strong schools and Nashville commute access, but the character is genuinely different. Brentwood is more established, more urban-adjacent, and commands the highest prices in the county. Franklin has a mature downtown and is the most polished of the three. Nolensville is smaller, less developed commercially, more rural in feel, and still building its downtown identity — but that's also precisely why prices are lower and community character is stronger. Buyers who want top schools, more land, and genuine small-town life tend to choose Nolensville. Buyers who want more walkability, established infrastructure, and are willing to pay for it tend to choose Franklin or Brentwood.
How long are homes sitting on the market in Nolensville?
Days on market in 37135 have extended significantly — sources report anywhere from 47 to 113 days median depending on the measurement period and data source. The Williamson County side tends to move faster than the Davidson or Rutherford portions. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes on the Williamson side under $850K are still generating buyer interest and moving in 4–6 weeks. Properties above $1.5M, homes with deferred maintenance, or listings that came in overpriced are sitting much longer. The 57% of homes that sold below asking price in early 2025 reflects a market where buyers who do their homework are successfully negotiating. Verify current DOM against RealTracs before publishing.
Is Nolensville a good investment?
The Williamson County portion of 37135 has strong long-term fundamentals: top schools, limited land for new development, proximity to Nashville's employment centers, and a genuine community identity that attracts repeat demand. The Davidson County portion (Burkitt/Carothers Farms) offers lower entry prices in an area that benefits from Nolensville's growth and community investment — the school district is the primary discount, and for buyers who don't need Williamson County schools, that discount can be real leverage. As with any market, location within the ZIP matters more than the ZIP itself. Properties in confirmed Williamson County zones with Nolensville High School zoning have historically been the most defensible positions in this market.
