“It’s an infill project in a suburban market,” he said. Jim Cheney, one of the partners developing Allenwood, compared it to the infill projects springing up in East Nashville and other popular urban neighborhoods. That community of just 13 homes on 8.8 acres is being developed on a quiet stretch of Clayton-Arnold Road in Thompson’s Station. The newest pocket neighborhood, Allenwood, offers evidence that the trend is expanding beyond the city. People can walk downtown for work or for dinner,” he said. “That’s the beauty of these pocket neighborhoods. Most are close to downtown Franklin and appeal to residents who want to live, work and play in the city.Īnderson, for example, often walks to his office next to the Franklin Theatre. On the other hand, the largest of the five pocket neighborhoods developed so far will have just 17. Williamson County is home to popular subdivisions that can have hundreds of homes. We moved in in November,” Anderson said of his home in Berry Circle, a neighborhood of four new homes in Franklin’s historic district. Realtor Danny Anderson has a convincing answer when clients ask whether buying a home in one of Williamson County’s pocket neighborhoods is a good investment.
