Willowbrook in Nolensville Presents a Compromise Between Rural and Town Living

A rendering of what the sign might look like for Willowbrook in Nolensville

Sanford Road is the Goldilocks of streets in Nolensville. Sanford is located toward the growing end of town, near the to-be-completed Nolensville Town Square project. The area is quiet yet near. It’s hilly but not steep. Willowbrook in Nolensville’s greatest asset will be its location in such a beautiful area.

Where Exactly is Willowbrook in Nolensville?

Willowbrook will be built on the old Jobe property. The approximate address is 2676 Sanford Road.

For those familiar with Telfair, Willowbrook will be located just beyond the Telfair Sanford Road properties. Current plat maps indicate that the two neighborhoods might connect near McClellan Lane. Some plat maps show this connection as a street connection, while others show it as a trail connection.

  • If it’s a street connection, residents of Willowbrook in Nolensville will have valuable road access through Telfair to York Road, which means a quicker commute to the Williamson County School campus. It also means residents won’t be solely reliant on Nolensville Road.
  • If it’s a trail connection, younger residents can use the trail system and connecting sidewalks to reach the school campus.

According to Cedric Dent for News TN, “The property, south of Nolensville High School and Mill Creek Middle School, had to be rezoned for subdivision residential with a planned development overlay, and one of its core thoroughfares, McClellan Lane, was then dead-ended with a turnaround but also with plans to continue into the Willowbrook development now beginning. Together, the two phases account for 88 single-family units with a density of about an acre per lot.”

Willowbrook in Nolensville will have 44 lots on 41.87 acres, and the neighborhood will include 41% (17.14 acres) of open space.
