Living in Berry Farms: Franklin's Southern Gateway
Berry Farms is the Southern Gateway to Franklin — a massive master-planned community at the I-65/Peytonsville Road interchange that's transforming what was once rolling farmland into one of Williamson County's most dynamic neighborhoods. Developed by Boyle Investment Company, Berry Farms combines residential, retail, and commercial space in a way that few Franklin communities can match. The real differentiator here is the Berry Farms Town Center. Unlike communities where you have to drive to Cool Springs for everyday needs, Berry Farms has built retail, restaurants, and services right into the neighborhood. Kroger, restaurants, medical offices, and professional services are all walking distance from many homes. The mixed-use approach means this community will only get more convenient as build-out continues. Residential options range from townhomes and cottages to estate homes, with prices starting in the $700s and climbing well past $2 million for custom builds. Multiple builders contribute to architectural diversity. The community is still actively building, which means you can get new construction — but also that some areas are still raw. Berry Farms is strategically located. Two minutes to I-840, five minutes to Cool Springs, 10 minutes to downtown Franklin, 20 minutes to Nashville, and 30 minutes to the airport. For commuters, it's hard to beat. The Natchez Trace Parkway is also nearby, giving residents quick access to one of Middle Tennessee's most scenic drives.
