About the Community

McKay's Mill is one of the largest planned communities in Franklin, with more than 1,300 homes on about 540 acres off Liberty Pike and Oxford Glen Drive. It's about two miles east of I-65 and Cool Springs Boulevard, which puts the Galleria and Cool Springs offices just minutes away.
‍

The community includes single-family homes, townhomes and condos, mostly two-story brick homes built by The Jones Company from the late 1990s on. Its own Towne Centre puts a grocery store, a pharmacy, restaurants and medical offices within walking distance for many residents.
‍

Because McKay's Mill has several sub-associations and home types, the details matter. A condo in Park Run and a single-family home in the master association come with different rules and costs.

Why People Consider It

McKay's Mill works because of where it is. Cool Springs is 5 to 10 minutes away, and the neighborhood's own Towne Centre has a grocery store, so a lot of daily life happens within a couple of miles.
‍

It's also big enough to offer real choice. With more than 1,300 homes, from condos and townhomes to larger single-family plans, buyers at several different price points end up looking here. The Olympic-size saltwater pool, clubhouse, tennis and three marked trails are shared by all of them.

Homes and Property Styles

McKay's Mill includes single-family homes of roughly 2,000 to 4,000-plus square feet, plus townhomes and condos. Most are two-story brick homes built by The Jones Company.
‍

When I compare homes here, I look at the home type and section, the plan, the lot and what's been updated.

Property and Price Context

With condos, townhomes and single-family homes all under one name, McKay's Mill covers a wide range of price points. The useful comparison is always the same home type in the same section, never the neighborhood as a whole.
‍

Sales happen often enough that there's usually good data. Most homes are 20-plus years old, though, so what's been updated (kitchens, baths, roofs, HVAC) is what separates two similar plans on the same street.

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."
