hether you’re strolling downtown Franklin, dining in Cool Springs, shopping at The Factory or looking for antiques in Leiper’s Fork, you’ll find that Williamson County supports diverse lifestyles and offers a wealth of housing options. From Franklin’s Westhaven community, which features a walkable design with retail establishments located in the neighborhood, to the rural setting of Winterset Woods in Nolensville, you’ll find plenty of new homes to choose from. And whether you choose a larger city like Franklin (the county seat) or one of the smaller communities like Arrington or Fairview, you’ll find housing and amenities in a variety of styles and price ranges. It’s hard to decide whether Franklin is a big city with a small-town feel or a small town with big-city advantages. CoolSprings Galleria and its surrounding business district serve
a variety of consumer needs — from dining to furniture, housewares to clothing and more. The Crossings in nearby Spring Hill features tenants like Target, Kirkland’s, and Bed, Bath & Beyond. If you prefer the rural life, head to the pastoral paradise of Thompson’s Station, located just minutes from downtown Franklin and not that far from downtown Nashville. In nearby Nolensville, you can stop in at the new Nolensville Farmers Market for fresh produce, flowers, homemade foods and more. Williamson County is home to businesses large and small, from home-owned enterprises like Yarrow Acres and McCreary’s Irish Pub to national headquarters for companies like Nissan, Tractor Supply and Mars Petcare. Small wonder, then, that Bloomberg ranked the Nashville area (including Franklin and Murfreesboro) as number eight on its list of Top 10 American Boomtowns (based on population growth and growth in gross domestic product). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, last year Williamson was the #1 county on the list of Fastest Growing Job Markets in the U.S., and Backgroundcheck.org ranked the cities of Brentwood (#1) Franklin (#3) and Spring Hill (#5) among the Safest Cities in Tennessee. With small-town charm, major employers and a healthy economic climate, if you’re looking for good country living in a growing and thriving community, Williamson County could be just the place.
