About the Community

Arrington is a rural community in eastern Williamson County, first known as Petersburg, with a post office from 1858, and later renamed for Arrington Creek. Its original store and post office stood at Murfreesboro Road and Wilson Pike, and Bellview Cumberland Presbyterian Church dates to 1852.
‍

Today Arrington is known for Arrington Vineyards, a 95-acre vineyard founded in 2007 as Williamson County's first winery, and for King's Chapel, an 1815 Methodist chapel reconstructed on its original site, next to a gated community of the same name with more than 420 homes.
‍

With farms, acreage and planned communities side by side, the right comparison depends on what kind of property you want.

Why People Consider It

Arrington still feels like farm country, and the people who move here want it that way. Most homes are large and sit on lots of around half an acre, mixed in with working farmland, so your neighbor's view is often a pasture rather than a roofline.
‍

You give up some convenience for that space, since daily errands mean a drive, but Franklin, Nolensville and SR 840 are all within reach. Arrington Vineyards and the rebuilt King's Chapel give the area a sense of place that a subdivision can't copy.

Homes and Property Styles

Arrington's homes fall into a few groups. There are planned communities like King's Chapel, a gated neighborhood of more than 420 homes next to the reconstructed 1815 chapel. There are large homes on lots of around half an acre, and beyond those there are farms and acreage.
‍

Because a half-acre home in a subdivision and a house on a working farm are different purchases, I compare within the right group first. After that it's the land, the utilities, any HOA rules and the home itself.

Property and Price Context

Land carries more of the price in Arrington than it does in town. A large home on a few acres and the same home on a standard lot aren't the same purchase, and well, septic, road frontage and greenbelt status can each move the number.
‍

Because so few homes here are alike, I build the comparison by hand: similar acreage and setting first, then the house itself. A neighborhood average would mislead you here.

Amenities and HOA

Planned communities like King's Chapel have their own HOAs, and a gated community carries costs for the gate and its common areas. Most farms and acreage have no HOA at all.
‍

No HOA doesn't mean no rules. Deed restrictions, easements and county zoning can still limit what you build or whether you can split land, so ask for the HOA documents in a planned community and a title review and survey on acreage before you commit.

Nearby Places

Arrington sits in eastern Williamson County around Murfreesboro Road and Wilson Pike, with Nolensville nearby and SR 840 close for getting across the county. Franklin is a drive west. Arrington Vineyards, at 6211 Patton Road, hosts Music in the Vines from April through October and is the area's best-known stop.
‍

Groceries and errands usually mean a drive to Nolensville or Franklin. Think through your weekly routine before you fall for a property, especially if you'll commute.

School Zoning

Arrington is served by Williamson County Schools, and assignments vary across this large area. Confirm the current zoning for the specific address with Williamson County Schools and its school locator before you make a decision that depends on it.

Seller Strategy

Selling in Arrington takes more preparation than selling in a subdivision, because buyers ask more questions. Having the survey, the septic permit and service history, the water source and any greenbelt status ready before you list helps buyers move with confidence.
‍

Pricing needs a wider net too. In a community like King's Chapel, recent sales inside it come first; for land, I look at comparable acreage across eastern Williamson County and adjust for utilities, road frontage and how the land can be used.

Buyer Strategy

Buying in Arrington starts with the type of property. Outside city limits, Williamson County zoning applies, and rural districts can carry minimum lot sizes from 1 acre to 15 acres depending on the zone. Land enrolled in Tennessee's greenbelt program (agricultural or forest land of 15 acres or more, open space of 3 acres or more) is taxed on use value, and a change in use can trigger rollback taxes, so ask about greenbelt status before you buy or split land.
‍

Utilities vary parcel by parcel. Confirm whether a property is on septic or sewer, where its water comes from, the condition of any well or septic system, and the survey, easements and road access before you commit.

What our clients say

Every move is personal. Here's what our clients had to say about theirs.

"Loved working with Mindy and the Hoover team! Mindy went over and above trying to sell our house! She held two open houses (in one weekend) and posted very large advertising flags in our yard and neighborhood entrance where even our neighbors were impressed and said we should have charged admission because there were over 50 cars in one day! It worked because we ended up having 12 offers and the house went $20,000 over asking 😊"

Lauren Hunter

"Mindy Hoover worked tirelessly when I was considering purchasing an investment property. She is always  professional, always available, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend."

Leah Clo

"Selling a home is a challenging time for anyone and I had to put my home up for sale during a very difficult situation. Jason and his team came into my life and made everything bearable. They organized and scheduled showings for homes to look at and when the time came to sell my home the work was seamless and happened quickly. I can never thank them enough for their support and compassion."

Debra B.

"Mindy and the Hoover Team worked very hard to help us buy our first home. Our lender gave us a very hard time during closing amidst COVID-19, but Mindy never stopped fighting for us to make our closing deadline."

Miles Crockett

"We had the pleasure of working with Mindy on our relocation from California. This is no small feat working at two opposite parts of the country, but Mindy made it a breeze. She is so friendly, kind, & patient. As a mother and former teacher, she understood exactly what I was looking for when deciding to relocate my family of 5. She has an incredible personality, is easy to talk to, knowledgeable and a true expert in her field. I feel blessed to have found her and look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future!"

Erin Freitas

"Mindy was on the ball and helped us find a home that had been recently returned to the market. We love it!  She even helped us meet a few new neighbors by having an open house for us after we moved in. Mindy is very personable and easy to work with."

Jackie King

"My wife and I recently had privilege of working with Jason and Mindy Hoover and all I can say is WOW! We were first time home buyers with no experience on how the process works. Jason and Mindy were well equipped to help us through that most difficult process and honestly did all the legwork. They made it fun. They were patient and took their time adding their feedback in critical moments that helped guide our ultimate decision. I cannot recommend team Hoover enough if you’re in the market for a new home."

Brian Rhea

"Mindy was incredible! She was there from start to finish! Even early in the morning and late at night! Buying a house in this market was tough but she made it as painless as possible! I highly recommend her! We feel so blessed to have had such an INCREDIBLE Agent who was extremely knowledgeable!"

Lenabel Rowell

"I cannot express how grateful I am that my husband and I had the hoover team on our side for our first home purchase. They took the trepidation out of buying a house and honestly made it seem easy. They walked us step by step through each process and helped us buy the perfect home for our needs and wants. HIGHLY recommend!"

Kelli Pflieger

"My wife and I met with Mindy about relocating to the Murfreesboro area. She has set up a daily / weekly email with homes that are on the market for us to view. Our in person experience with her was top notch, her team is very professional and took the time to listen to us, and help find the perfect home."

Matt Eldred

"Had reached out to the Hoover team about selling my house and their response time was quick. My appointment went better than I could have anticipated and I am extremely please with moving forward. Mindy walked me through the process of selling a home and possible improvements to get the most out of the sell. Their continuous support and guidance is making this potentially stressful time a breeze and I am happy to have the Hoover team on my side to sell this house!!"

Kara Altes

"Working with Mindy from the Hoover team and we love the service. Mindy provides great support and service. We could not find a home to purchase so we had one built. Mindy was there ever step of the way. Even helping the wife to pick and choose the interior designs we wanted. She works with the builder to solve problems. We are very happy."
