About the Community

Ladd Park is a south Franklin community built along about two miles of Harpeth River frontage. Trillium Ventures developed it starting in the late 2000s, and The Highlands at Ladd Park, the original and largest section, sits near the Williamson County Ag Expo Park off Peytonsville Road.
‍

The river shapes the whole place. About 10 miles of paved trails, a canoe launch and a riverside park give Ladd Park a lot of outdoor space, and the Junior Olympic pool and swim team are a big part of summer here.
‍

Several builders have worked in Ladd Park, so homes vary in builder, plan and finish. That's where careful comparison matters most.

Why People Consider It

People choose Ladd Park for the trails and the river. It's one of the few Franklin neighborhoods where you can walk to a canoe launch, and the trail network makes it easy to get outside every day.
‍

Newer construction and easy access to I-65 and south Franklin are part of the appeal. The tradeoff is that homes near the river need a close look at flood zones, and active building in some sections means construction nearby.

Homes and Property Styles

Ladd Park homes are mostly two-story single-family homes in traditional and transitional styles with brick and stone exteriors, generally around 2,000 to 4,500 square feet, and some lots allow basements. Builders have included The Jones Company, Signature Homes, Ford Classic, Turnberry, Stonebridge and others.
‍

When I compare homes here, I start with the builder and year, then the plan, the lot and whether it backs to trails, open space or the river.

Property and Price Context

Price in Ladd Park depends on builder, size, lot and updates. River and trail access can matter, and so can whether a home is a resale or new.
‍

I'd compare recent sales by builder and section first, then nearby south Franklin communities like Berry Farms.

School Zoning

Treat that as a starting point, not a guarantee. Assignments are set by address and can change, so confirm the current zoning with Williamson County Schools and its school locator before you make a decision that depends on it.

Seller Strategy

Selling in Ladd Park means helping buyers see your home's place in a big, varied community. Your builder, upgrades, lot and nearness to trails and the river are all worth highlighting.
‍

Pricing comes from recent Ladd Park sales of the same builder and size range, and from any new construction competing nearby.

Buyer Strategy

Buying in Ladd Park starts with the builder and the section. Ask about the builder's reputation and warranty history, and look closely at the lot, drainage and FEMA flood zone if the home is near the river.
‍

Request the HOA documents early so you understand dues, amenities and rules.

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."
