Belshire

Belshire is a 170-home subdivision spread across 94 acres in the Williamson County portion of Spring Hill (Ward 3). Located directly off Columbia Pike, it's one of the more premium neighborhoods in the city — homes here run from $625K to $990K, with most falling in the $700K-$800K range. Celebration Homes has been the primary builder, delivering traditional-style brick and stone homes on roughly one-third-acre lots since the community started in 2007.

What sets Belshire apart from comparably priced Spring Hill neighborhoods is the combination of generous lot sizes (for the price range), a low HOA fee (~$420/year), and a location that puts you directly on Highway 31 — Spring Hill's main commercial corridor. You can be at a grocery store in under two minutes. That day-to-day convenience adds up.

History and Development

Belshire broke ground around 2007 and was built out over roughly a decade, with construction continuing through 2018. The community developed in at least two phases (county records reference "Belshire Ph 2" for newer sections).

Celebration Homes is the primary builder. They're a Middle Tennessee regional builder with a long track record in the Spring Hill area — they've also built in Brixworth and other local subdivisions. Celebration is known for semi-custom homes with traditional exteriors and above-average interior finishes. Their model in Belshire features floor plans like the Oxford, which offers a main-level primary suite and open-concept living.

The timing of Belshire's development put it squarely in the middle of Spring Hill's boom years. The earlier homes (2007-2010) were built during and just after the housing downturn, while later phases benefited from the recovery and price appreciation that followed.

Current status: Fully built out. All purchases are resale through MLS.

Location and Access

Belshire is located directly off Columbia Pike (US-31), putting it at the center of Spring Hill's commercial activity. This is a real advantage — most Spring Hill subdivisions require a 5-10 minute drive to reach the main shopping corridor, but Belshire residents are already there.

Key distances and access points:

• Columbia Pike (US-31): Immediate access — the subdivision entrance is right on it
• I-65: About 10-15 minutes via Saturn Parkway or the June Lake interchange
• I-840: About 5-10 minutes via US-31 north
• Cool Springs/Franklin: Roughly 15-20 minutes north via US-31 or I-65
• CoolSprings Galleria: About 15-20 minutes
• Downtown Nashville: About 35 miles, 35-45 minutes without traffic
• Williamson Medical Center: Accessible via I-65 Exit 65 in Franklin

Adjacent neighborhoods: Arbors at Autumn Ridge, Autumn Ridge, Carnation Place, Copper Ridge, Lexington Farms, Rubens Landing, Shirebrook, Winstead Manor, Woodlands at Spring Hill, and Witt Hill.

Homes

Belshire is all single-family detached homes. The architectural style is traditional throughout, with exteriors finished in brick, stone, and wood — most homes feature at least partial brick. Two-car garages are standard, with most positioned in a side-loading orientation (garage doors face the side of the house rather than the street), which gives the streetscape a cleaner, more upscale look.

Size range: 1,900 to 3,724 sq ft (average around 3,007-3,237 sq ft)

Bedrooms: 4 to 5

Bathrooms: 2.5 to 4

Lot sizes: 0.31 to 0.55 acres (approximately one-third acre is typical, with some lots reaching nearly half an acre)

Garages: Two-car attached, mostly side-loading orientation. Some homes with three-car garages.

Foundations: Crawl space and slab

Common features: Granite kitchens, hardwood floors, main-level primary suites (available in several floor plans), open-concept layouts, high ceilings, fenced backyards, covered porches, formal and informal dining areas.

Amenities

Belshire's amenities are minimal:

• Sidewalks within the community
• Green space and mature landscaping — the 94-acre footprint for 170 homes means more breathing room between properties than denser developments
• No community pool
• No clubhouse
• No tennis/pickleball courts
• No playground
• No walking trails

The lack of a pool or clubhouse is notable at this price point. Subdivisions like Brixworth (similar pricing) offer two pools, a clubhouse, and a full amenities package. Belshire's HOA fee reflects this — $420/year is low because there isn't much to maintain.

For recreation, you'll rely on Spring Hill's public parks and the Williamson County Recreation Center.

HOA

Belshire has an HOA with relatively low dues:

HOA dues: Approximately $35/month (~$420/year)

This covers common area maintenance, landscaping of shared spaces, and basic neighborhood upkeep. The low fee is possible because there are no pools, clubhouses, or major amenities to fund.

Transfer fees may apply when purchasing a property. The HOA management company and contact details are not prominently listed online — prospective buyers should request HOA documents during the purchase process.

Community Feel

Belshire has a settled, residential feel. The 94-acre footprint gives the neighborhood more space than many comparably sized Spring Hill subdivisions — at roughly 0.55 acres per unit on average (including common areas and roads), there's more tree cover and green space between homes than the tighter developments offer.

The traditional architecture, side-loading garages, and mature landscaping give the streets a more established, almost countryside-suburban aesthetic. This isn't a cookie-cutter look, partly because Celebration Homes offers enough customization in their builds to create visual variety across the street facades.

The community skews toward established families — 4-5 bedroom homes in the $700K+ range attract households with above-average incomes, typically dual-income professionals commuting to Franklin, Cool Springs, or Nashville. The proximity to Columbia Pike appeals to people who value convenience and don't want to drive through winding subdivision roads to reach a main road.

Belshire is not a gated community.

Honest Pros and Cons

Pros

• Generous lot sizes — one-third to half an acre is significantly more space than the 0.15-0.25 acre lots you'll find in newer Spring Hill subdivisions. If yard space matters, Belshire delivers
• Low HOA fees — $420/year is among the lowest in Spring Hill for a neighborhood at this price point. You're not subsidizing amenities you might not use
• Directly on Columbia Pike — immediate access to grocery, dining, retail, and services. No 5-minute drive to get to basic errands
• Celebration Homes quality — consistent builder with a strong local reputation. Traditional brick/stone exteriors, semi-custom interiors, and attention to architectural detail
• Williamson County Schools — Longview Elementary is top 5.2% in the state. Independence High offers 25 AP courses and a 95% graduation rate
• Side-loading garages — a design detail that significantly improves streetscape aesthetics compared to front-facing garage neighborhoods
• Fully built out — no construction noise, no phases "coming soon," no uncertainty about what's being built next door

Cons

• No community amenities — no pool, no clubhouse, no playground, no trails. At a $700K+ price point, many buyers expect at least a pool
• Price appreciation risk — the lack of amenities could limit resale appeal compared to neighborhoods like Brixworth or Wades Grove that offer full amenity packages at similar or slightly higher price points
• Heritage Middle School reviews — strong on paper (Niche grade A) but only 2.3/5 stars from parents. Investigate this school directly before committing
• Columbia Pike traffic — being on the main road is convenient, but it also means you hear and see more traffic than subdivisions set further back. Homes closer to the entrance experience this more
• Builder monopoly — Celebration Homes built everything, which means consistent quality but also uniform design. Less architectural variety than multi-builder neighborhoods
• Spring Hill's growth pressures — like every Spring Hill subdivision, Belshire faces increasing traffic on surrounding roads as the city continues to add population
