Williamson and Maury Counties · Middle Tennessee
Living in Spring Hill
Spring Hill is a fast-growing city of about 29 square miles roughly 30 miles south of Nashville, built around the GM Spring Hill manufacturing complex. It is the only place on this site that sits in two counties at once, and which side of that line a house falls on changes the school district, the tax rate and the negotiating posture.

What’s actually there
- A city that straddles the Williamson and Maury county line, with the northern portion in Williamson and the larger southern portion in Maury
- GM Spring Hill Manufacturing, the former Saturn plant, and the LG Energy Solution battery plant operating since 2024
- June Lake, a 775-acre master-planned development on the Williamson side at the new I-65 interchange
- US-31 running north to south as the spine, with Saturn Parkway as the east-west freeway connector
- Rippavilla, an 1855 Greek Revival mansion on Main Street
The housing stock
Overwhelmingly post-1990 and post-2005 subdivision housing tied to plant employment, with very heavy new construction from 2015 onward. June Lake is the development people search by name: 775 acres, around 2,900 residential units plus office, retail and hotel over a twenty-year buildout, sitting on the Williamson side at the new I-65 interchange reached by a 2.25-mile extension of Buckner Road. RealtyTrac put the Spring Hill median at $549,700 in July 2026, up 8.85 percent year over year. Do not use county medians as a proxy here, because Williamson and Maury sat at $1,035,000 and $422,100 respectively in the same month and neither describes this city.
Getting around
About thirty miles south of Nashville, realistically forty to forty-five minutes off-peak by I-65, which clips the eastern edge with two exits. A new interchange at the June Lake development, funded with a federal grant, adds a third access point on the north side.

Subdivisions and named developments in Spring Hill
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.
June Lake
The 775 acre development at Buckner Lane and Old Thompson’s Station Road, on the Williamson County side, with its own fully funded interstate interchange.
- Approved by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen in May 2017, ground broken June 2021, first home construction February 2022. The developer estimates build out takes more than twenty years.
- 775 acres planned for roughly 2,900 residential units, plus 3.9 million square feet of office, about 1.3 million square feet of retail and restaurant, and 400 hotel rooms.
- Detached single family, cottages, townhomes and multi family. Solstice at June Lake alone is a ten building, 227 unit multifamily development.
- Williamson County side of Spring Hill. That decides your school district and your county tax rate, and it is the first thing to confirm on any Spring Hill address.
- Master developer Southeast Venture, with Signature Homes as the Phase 1 builder. Spring Hill owns and operates its own sewer system, and that system is the constraint on building here. The city self reported 29 effluent exceedances between 2023 and 2025 and entered a state consent order. On August 5, 2025 the board approved a moratorium blocking sewer connections for projects without vested rights, and on January 5, 2026 it passed a permanent allocation framework on second reading. The moratorium lifts only after twelve consecutive months of compliance, which the mayor said would likely take years. If you are buying into a section that is still building, the sewer allocation decides your timeline more than the builder does.
Wades Grove
Off Buckner Lane on the Williamson County side, platted across eighteen plus sections.
- Sections run past 18B, so this has been building for a long time in small increments.
- Detached single family.
- HOA, professionally administered, with a community pool, a gathering pavilion, a playground and sidewalks throughout.
- Williamson County side, per the association itself. Spring Hill owns and operates its own sewer system, and that system is the constraint on building here.

If you are buying into a section that is still building, the sewer allocation decides your timeline more than the builder does.
Harvest Point
On the Maury County side of Spring Hill, off the Saturn Parkway interchange, and that county line is the whole point of this entry.
- Maury County, per the builder’s own community page. Same city, different county, which means a different county tax rate and a different county school system from the Williamson side of Spring Hill.
- Phases run through at least Phase 11, with a separately platted Harvest Point Heights section.
- Detached single family and townhomes. HOA, professionally administered.
- A resort style pool with cabana, walking and jogging trails, a dog park, community gardens, a playground, picnic areas, a pond and a live work area.
- Builders include Celebration Homes, D.R. Horton and Regent Homes. Spring Hill owns and operates its own sewer system, and that system is the constraint on building here.

Southern Springs
The Del Webb 55 and over community, and one where the sources disagree about which county it is in.
- Age restricted 55 and over, legally restricted under the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995. Detached single family only.
- Del Webb states a minimum of 800 planned homes, built from 2017 to the present.
- A clubhouse with fitness center, aerobics studio, ballroom and meeting space, an indoor lap pool, an outdoor resort style pool, tennis, pickleball, a dog park and walking trails. HOA managed, and not gated.
- Del Webb’s own site places it in Maury County. A large third party directory places it in Williamson. I am going with the developer, but confirm it against an actual tax bill before you rely on it, because it decides the tax rate and the school system.

Schools
Williamson County Schools

Look up an address with the district →
Spring Hill is served by two different county school districts depending on which side of the county line an address falls on. The northern, Williamson County portion is served by Williamson County Schools. The larger southern, Maury County portion is served by Maury County Public Schools, whose Spring Hill high school students now feed Battle Creek High School on Battle Creek Way, which opened in 2024 and reaches a full four-year program in the 2026-27 year. There is no city school district. Confirm the county and the zone for the specific address with the relevant district before you rely on either.
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
The county line is the most important thing about this city and most content gets it wrong. Here is the current picture. The city property tax rate is $0.739 per hundred of assessed value and it is now uniform on both sides, which is a change: Spring Hill historically charged different city rates by county, and a lot of older articles still say so. What differs is the county rate on top, $1.30 in Williamson against $1.369 in Maury, so roughly $2.039 combined on the north side and $2.108 on the south. That is only about seven cents apart, which is much closer than buyers assume, because Maury’s 2026 reappraisal cut its rate sharply. But the two counties reappraised in different years, so the values those rates are applied to are set on different clocks. The real decision is not the rate, it is the school district and the market. Maury has been running over five months of supply and the slowest list-to-close cycle in the region at around 125 days, which means genuine negotiating room. Williamson has been the tightest market in the region at about four months. Same city, two completely different postures depending on which side of a line you cannot see from the street. On the plant, the news is better than the company-town worry suggests: GM committed $275 million to Spring Hill in June 2026, split between a future Cadillac combustion vehicle at the assembly plant and continued 2.7 litre turbo engine production, on top of a $2 billion investment in 2020 and the battery plant that began operating in 2024. The complex is now diversified across combustion, electric and batteries rather than being a single-product bet.
Common questions
Which county is my Spring Hill house in, and does it matter?
It matters more than almost anything else about the purchase. The northern part of Spring Hill is in Williamson County and the larger southern part is in Maury. That determines your school district, Williamson County Schools versus Maury County Public Schools, and your county tax rate, $1.30 versus $1.369. It also determines your negotiating position, because Maury has been running over five months of supply while Williamson has been the tightest market in the region. I confirm the county on the parcel before we do anything else.
Does the Spring Hill city tax differ by county?
Not any more, and this is where old articles will mislead you. The city rate is $0.739 per hundred of assessed value and it is uniform on both sides now. Spring Hill did historically charge different rates by county, which is why the outdated version keeps circulating. What still differs is the county rate layered on top.
Is Spring Hill too dependent on the GM plant?
Less than it used to be, and that is a fair question to ask. GM committed $275 million to the complex in June 2026, split between a future Cadillac combustion vehicle at the assembly plant and continued engine production, on top of a $2 billion investment in 2020 and the battery plant that started up in 2024. So the complex now spans combustion, electric and batteries rather than betting on one. That is meaningful de-risking for a market this tied to one employer.
What is June Lake?
A 775-acre master-planned district on the Williamson County side, around 2,900 homes plus office, retail and hotel over a twenty-year buildout, at a new I-65 interchange reached by an extension of Buckner Road. Because it sits on the Williamson side, it carries Williamson County Schools and the Williamson tax rate, which is the detail that actually matters when you compare it to a house a few miles south.
