Buying or Renting in Cool Springs?
McEwen - Franklin's newest "New Urbanism" community - is right in the middle of Cool Springs. Cool Springs is the large shopping and commercial area between Franklin and Brentwood. And right along I-65 South of Nashville. Part of the original vision of Cool Springs was to have shopping, business and residential areas located close together to facilitate the "work-live-play" lifestyle. This was before developers moved to the even tighter walking communities. The original vision has been fulfilled with growth continuing.
One of the new areas of growth in Cool Springs is a walkable "work-live-play" community within Cool Springs. They will have shops and business with condos and apartments all built together in one community. Think city lifestyle in the suburbs. Progess is occuring in this new area called McEwen. It is being developed by the company that brought us Westhaven, Southern Land Company.
Before the retailers will come, there must be people. One of the communities McEwen will have is an upscale apartment community called Dwell at McEwen. This community is nearly finished and it has begun renting. This is a rental community only. They have some really nice amenities: Workout room with state of the art equipment, a conference room, a pilates/spin room with classes at no charge for residents. Their outdoor spaces seem to be really nice. They have a Swimming pool with cold and hot water spas and a fountain. For your evening gatherings, there is an outdoor billiards table and Fire Pit. Inside the units have what you would expect in units at this level; roomy, well-designed kitchens, and spacious bathrooms. In the unit I saw, the use of space was well planned out and really useful. You can even rent a garage.

And for those interested in buying, there is a small, well-planned community right across the street called Grant Park. They have one level condominuims each with it's own garage. This community only has 51 units, but the developer wanted to give it a real community feel and has built a clubhouse with a fitness room and pool for the community. And kept the fees reasonable. It is a refreshing combination. These will begin to be finished this summer. I included a photo of the construction. These are right in the McEwen community, and just down from the Honda dealership - you can get a motorcycle to get around on. They have paid special attention to the construction in order for the sound levels between units to be minimized. These units have hardwood floors and granite countertops, etc. They offer one and two bedroom untis. And did I say the community is gated? Nice touch. The price for these units are in the $300's depending on the size of the units and garages, etc. I would be glad to show you around and introduce you to one level living in Cool Springs!
