Living in Cane Ridge
Cane Ridge is a historically rural community in southeast Davidson County, centered on the crossroads of Old Hickory Boulevard and Cane Ridge Road, that has suburbanized rapidly since the 2000s. It still has a genuine civic center of its own: the Cane Ridge Community Club operates out of a 1908 schoolhouse and reviews development proposals for the area.

What’s actually there
- A crossroads community at Old Hickory Boulevard and Cane Ridge Road, in zip 37013
- The Cane Ridge Community Club, in a 1908 former Nashville public school, on Cecil R. Crawford Park
- Cane Ridge Park on Battle Road
- Cane Ridge Cumberland Presbyterian Church, founded in 1859 and on the National Register since 1976
- Continuing subdivision construction across the area
The housing stock
Predominantly 2000s through 2020s production subdivisions, single-family detached with townhomes mixed in, layered over a small remnant of mid-century and older rural housing near the crossroads. New construction continues. Redfin put the median for the Cane Ridge Farms subdivision specifically at $420,000 as of July 2026, up 7.7 percent year over year at about $198 a square foot, but that is one subdivision rather than all of Cane Ridge, so read it as a data point rather than the market.
Getting around
Thirteen to fifteen miles southeast of downtown, roughly twenty to twenty-five minutes off-peak by I-24. The transit picture here is different from the rest of south Nashville, and it is genuinely promising.

Subdivisions and named developments in Cane Ridge
Once you are actually looking, you stop searching by city and start searching by subdivision. These are the names that come up, and what is true about each one that will still be true in three years. No prices, no dues, no days on market, because those change and this page would go stale telling you about them.
Burkitt Ridge
The newest and largest of the three Burkitt developments, at Burkitt Road and Westcott Lane. Regent Homes is the builder here, and this is the only one of the three that Regent built. Still going up.
- Rezoned in 2017 under Metro specific plan 2017SP-023, which covers 143.92 acres and approves a maximum of 800 residential units plus up to 184 assisted living units and 30 live work units.
- Plats recorded from 2020 onward, 290 lots across the seven phases currently in Metro’s subdivision layer, with more phases still to come. About 554 parcels carry the name today.
- Mixed by design and by classification: the Assessor records 152 parcels as residential condominium and 110 as single family, so a Burkitt Ridge address can be a townhome, a live work unit or a detached house. Find out which before you compare anything.
- The specific plan requires neighborhood greens, a trail system to the neighborhood center, preserved natural conservation areas, a clubhouse in District 4 and a 100 foot landscaped buffer on the eastern boundary.
- Davidson County, zip 37013, Metro Council District 31. Metro Nashville Public Schools.
Burkitt Village
North and south of Burkitt Road, east of Burkitt Place. Built out steadily over a decade, and the only one of the three with no condominium classification anywhere in it.
- Plats recorded from July 2013 through December 2023, thirteen of them, totaling 366 lots. About 391 parcels carry the name today.
- All single family detached. The Assessor records no condominium or attached classification anywhere in the subdivision, which is unusual for something built this recently.
- HOA, with the association holding the common open space parcels of record.
- Zips 37013 and 37135, with mail going out as Antioch, Nashville and Nolensville depending on the street. Every parcel is Davidson County, Metro Council Districts 31 and 33. Metro Nashville Public Schools.
Burkitt Place
The oldest of the three, on the south side of Burkitt Road east of Nolensville Pike. This is the one with a Nolensville mailing address that trips people up.
- Fourteen plats recorded between September 2005 and May 2015, totaling 293 lots. About 399 parcels carry the name today.
- The Assessor records 295 parcels as single family and 63 as residential condominium, so the attached product here is real and worth identifying before you compare prices.
- HOA. Metro records name both the Burkitt Place Homeowners Association and a separate Village of Burkitt Place Owners Association.
- Zip 37135 with a Nolensville mailing address on every parcel, and yet it is entirely Davidson County: Metro Council District 33, Metro GSD tax district, Metro zoning, plats recorded through Metro Planning. Metro Nashville Public Schools, not Williamson County Schools.
- A widely ranking real estate page markets this subdivision under a headline naming Williamson County Schools. That is wrong on every Metro record I checked, and it is the single most expensive mistake you can make out here.
The Grove at Cane Ridge
The 2010s subdivision immediately east of Cane Ridge Farms, on Eli Drive, Luke Drive and Suzy Drive off Cane Springs Road.
- 79 platted lots across three phases recorded between March 2012 and October 2013. About 81 parcels today.
- All single family detached. No condominium or zero lot line classification.
- HOA, and here is the detail that matters: the common area parcels inside The Grove are owned by the Cane Ridge Farms Homeowners Association, the same association as the older subdivision next door, not a separate one.
- A rectangle over the recorded plats returns no mapped FEMA floodplain, which is a sharp contrast with Cane Ridge Farms adjoining it.
Cane Ridge Estates
A small planned unit development from 2020 on Bison Court and Birchfield Place, immediately west of Cane Ridge Farms.
- 29 lots recorded May 15, 2020. About 33 parcels today.
- All single family detached.
- HOA, with the Cane Ridge Estates Owners Association holding parcels of record.
- A rectangle over the plat returns no mapped FEMA floodplain.
Parks at Cane Ridge
The one currently going up, in the southern Cane Ridge core off Marchwood Boulevard, still recording new phases in 2026.
- About 152 lots across five plats recorded between January 2023 and April 2026. About 165 parcels today, and more coming.
- The Assessor has not yet assigned a land use classification to these parcels, which is normal for phases this new. That means the housing type is not yet in the public record, so ask the builder directly rather than assuming.
- No association owned parcels appear yet either. Given the dates that is almost certainly a timing artifact rather than evidence there is no HOA. Do not assume either way.
- A rectangle over the recorded plats returns no mapped FEMA floodplain.
Old Hickory Commons
On Sprucedale Drive and Saddlecreek Way, and the clearest condominium answer in this zip code.
- 34 platted lots across five recorded sections between February 2008 and August 2019. And 350 parcels today.
- That gap between 34 lots and 350 parcels is the whole story: the Assessor classifies every parcel here as residential condominium, with no single family classification at all. Each unit is separately parceled inside a condominium regime.
- That changes your financing and your insurance compared to a detached house. Talk to your lender before you get attached to one.
- HOA, with the Old Hickory Commons Homeowners Association of record.
- Geographically this sits on the Old Hickory Boulevard and Antioch side of 37013, several miles northeast of the Cane Ridge Road core, so treat it as the same zip rather than the same neighborhood.
Ridgeview
North of the Cane Ridge core off Eagle View Boulevard, platted in 2008 and then substantially rearranged twice.
- 150 lots recorded March 12, 2008, then a 48 lot resubdivision in 2012 and a 15 lot resubdivision in 2016. Those two rounds materially changed the original layout, so an old plat will mislead you.
- Single family and zero lot line classifications both appear. Confirm which one a specific address is.
- HOA, with the Ridgeview Heights Homeowners Association holding parcels on Eagle View Boulevard, Wild Oaks Court and Dale View Drive.
- Do not confuse it with Ridgeview Estates, which is a different development in Goodlettsville, 37072.
- A rectangle over the plats returns no mapped FEMA floodplain.
Schools
Metro Nashville Public Schools
Look up an address with the district →
Served by Metro Nashville Public Schools. The zoned school is set by address and Metro’s choice and magnet applications run on their own calendar alongside it. Confirm both for the specific address rather than the street.
I publish district and school zoning as published fact and nothing more. No ratings, no rankings, no comparisons. School zones are set by the district, assigned by address rather than by subdivision or city name, and they change. Confirm any address with the district itself, and evaluate the schools yourself against what matters to your family.
What a buyer needs to know here
Two things drive value here and most listings mention neither. The first is the Global Mall site. Metro bought a major portion of the former Hickory Hollow Mall property in 2022, ran a planning study, and the Planning Commission adopted the Global Mall Area Master Plan in July 2024 after three public workshops and more than a thousand participants. The site already carries a Nashville State Community College campus, the Southeast branch library and the Southeast Regional Community Center, with demolition and rezoning as the reported next steps. The second is transit, and this is where people get Cane Ridge wrong: its corridor is Murfreesboro Pike and Bell Road, currently the highest-ridership bus route in the city, which Metro plans to upgrade to full bus rapid transit with a regional transit center at the Global Mall site. Nolensville Pike, the corridor everyone talks about, serves the other side of south Nashville. Now the caution. Mill Creek runs through this area and it floods. It was the first site of major flooding in the 2010 floods, with deaths and millions in property damage. A parcel-level flood check is not optional in this submarket. And most subdivisions here carry a homeowners association with terms that vary, so read the covenants for the specific one.
Common questions
What is happening at the old Hickory Hollow Mall?
Metro bought a major portion of the Global Mall site in 2022 and the Planning Commission adopted a master plan for the area in July 2024, after three public workshops and more than a thousand participants. The site already holds a Nashville State campus, the Southeast library branch and the Southeast Regional Community Center, and demolition and rezoning are the reported next steps. If you are buying nearby, that plan is part of your purchase.
Is Cane Ridge on the Nolensville Pike transit corridor?
No, and this is worth getting right because it gets repeated. Nolensville Pike serves the Grassmere and Lenox Village side of south Nashville. Cane Ridge’s corridor is Murfreesboro Pike and Bell Road, which is currently the highest-ridership bus route in the city and which Metro plans to upgrade to full bus rapid transit with a regional transit center at the Global Mall site. That is arguably the better story, it is just a different road.
Does Cane Ridge flood?
Parts of it can, and this one I would not gloss over. Mill Creek runs through Antioch and Cane Ridge and it is prone to flooding. It was the first site of major flooding in the 2010 floods, with deaths and millions in damage. I pull the FEMA flood zone on the specific parcel here every time, without exception.
