Copper Ridge

Copper Ridge is a 210-home subdivision on 70 acres in the Williamson County side of Spring Hill (Ward 3). It sits off Commonwealth Drive, directly adjacent to the Longview Recreation Center — a Williamson County Parks facility with indoor and outdoor pools, gym, courts, and a fitness center. That adjacency is arguably the single biggest selling point of this neighborhood: you get a county-funded recreation complex as your backyard without paying for it through your HOA.

Built between 2015 and 2019 by two builders — Ryan Homes and Fox Ridge Homes — Copper Ridge is a production-built subdivision with a consistent aesthetic across its phases. Prices range from $477K to $700K, placing it in the middle tier of Spring Hill's Williamson County neighborhoods. The HOA is roughly $35/month, which is low by local standards.

History and Development

Copper Ridge was originally known as "Copperstone" during early planning phases. The development was built across at least seven phases, with Phase 1 and Phase 2 established in the mid-2010s. City of Spring Hill municipal records reference performance bonds for Copper Ridge Phases 1 and 2, and MLS data shows homes listed under designations up through Phase 7.

Two builders worked in the subdivision:

Ryan Homes — a national production builder (part of NVR, Inc.) that built the majority of Copper Ridge. Ryan Homes offered multiple floor plans with open-concept layouts, quartz countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and brick exteriors with front porches. Plans ranged from first-floor owner's suite options to two-story layouts up to approximately 3,600 sq ft.

Fox Ridge Homes — a regional builder that developed the "Copper Ridge - Legacy" section. Fox Ridge focused on both single-level and two-story homes in the 2,000-3,220 sq ft range, marketing them as low-maintenance efficient floor plans on easily maintained lot sizes.

Between the two builders, the subdivision offers more variety than you'd expect from a production-built community — the Fox Ridge section has a different feel from the Ryan Homes sections.

Current status: Fully sold out across both builders. All purchases are resale through MLS.

Location and Access

Copper Ridge's location off Commonwealth Drive gives it strong proximity to several key destinations.

Key distances and access points:

• Commonwealth Drive — primary access road
• Longview Recreation Center — immediately adjacent (2909 Commonwealth Dr). Indoor pool, outdoor pool, gym, basketball courts, racquetball courts, tennis/pickleball courts, fitness center, walking track, game room, dance studio.
• Longview Elementary School — directly across the street from the subdivision
• I-65: Approximately 10-15 minutes via Saturn Parkway or the June Lake interchange (Exit 55, opened May 2024)
• I-840: About 5-10 minutes
• The Crossings at Spring Hill: Nearby shopping and dining
• Cool Springs / Franklin: About 15 minutes north
• Downtown Nashville: 30-35 miles, roughly 35 minutes without traffic

Streets in the subdivision: Allerton Way, Burnwick Court, Morton Drive, and Finnegan Court are among the named streets.

The proximity to Longview Rec Center and Longview Elementary is the location story here. Families with kids at Longview Elementary have a walk-to-school situation. And the recreation center means residents don't need to rely solely on subdivision amenities for fitness, swimming, or courts.

Homes

Copper Ridge is all single-family detached homes. The architectural style is production-built traditional — brick exteriors with front porches, consistent rooflines, and builder-standard landscaping.

Size range: 1,080 to 4,300 sq ft. The wide range reflects both the Ryan Homes and Fox Ridge inventory. Typical homes fall in the 2,000-3,600 sq ft range.

Bedrooms: 3 to 6

Bathrooms: 2 to 4

Lot sizes: Production-builder lots, generally compact. Cul-de-sac homesites available in some sections.

Garages: Two-car attached standard.

Common features: Open-concept layouts, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring, brick exteriors, first-floor owner's suite options (select plans), customizable finishes.

Pricing (based on recent market data)

Copper Ridge sits in the mid-range for Williamson County Spring Hill subdivisions. The price-per-square-foot is competitive for new(ish) construction in WCS school zones. You're paying less per square foot here than in custom-built neighborhoods like Cherry Grove or Brixworth Seven.

Amenities

Copper Ridge itself has minimal subdivision-specific amenities. There's no community pool or clubhouse within the HOA. However, this is where the Longview Recreation Center adjacency becomes the story.

Longview Recreation Center (adjacent, county-operated):

• Indoor 25-yard, 6-lane swimming pool (year-round)
• Large seasonal outdoor pool
• Two-court gymnasium
• Wellness center with cardio equipment, squat racks, Smith machines, selectorized weight equipment
• Racquetball/wallyball courts
• Outdoor tennis/pickleball courts
• Indoor walking track
• Dance studio
• Arts and crafts classrooms
• Game room
• Meeting rooms
• Hours: Mon-Thu 5am-8pm, Fri 5am-6pm, Sat 8am-5pm, Sun 1pm-5pm

Within the subdivision:

• Sidewalks throughout

The trade-off is clear: the HOA doesn't fund a pool or clubhouse, but you live next door to a facility that has all of that and more. Longview Rec Center is operated by Williamson County Parks and Recreation, so access is available to all Williamson County residents (membership-based), but the walk-out-your-door proximity is unique to Copper Ridge and a few neighboring subdivisions.

HOA

HOA dues: Approximately $35 per month.

This is among the lowest HOA fees in Spring Hill. The lower cost reflects the lack of subdivision-owned pool and clubhouse — the HOA covers common area maintenance, landscaping, and general community management rather than expensive amenity upkeep.

Not a gated community.

Schools

Copper Ridge is zoned for Williamson County Schools (WCS).

Longview Elementary School

• Grades PK-5, approximately 681 students
• Student-teacher ratio: 13:1
• Ranked in the top 10% of Tennessee schools for overall test scores
• Math proficiency: 74% (top 5% statewide)
• Reading proficiency: 57% (top 5% statewide)
• SchoolDigger rank: 52nd of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools
• Located directly across the street from Copper Ridge

Heritage Middle School

• Grades 6-8, approximately 822 students
• Student-teacher ratio: 14:1
• Test scores: 64% proficient in math, 59% in reading
• SchoolDigger rank: 19th of 583 Tennessee middle schools
• Located on Columbia Pike in Thompson's Station

Independence High School

• Grades 9-12, approximately 2,097 students
• Located at 1776 Declaration Way, Thompson's Station
• GreatSchools rating: 7/10
• Niche rating: 3.92/5, ranked #25 in Tennessee
• 95% graduation rate
• 25 AP courses, 53% AP participation
• Test scores: 67% proficient in math, 70% in reading

Longview Elementary is the standout in this school path. 74% math proficiency is exceptional — that's more than double the Tennessee state average of 34%. The walk-to-school proximity (directly across the street) makes it even more practical for elementary-age families. Heritage Middle and Independence High are solid WCS schools that perform well above state averages across the board.

Community Feel

Copper Ridge is a newer, production-built community that skews toward young families and first-time buyers in the Williamson County market. The $477K-$700K price range, combined with the WCS school zone and Longview Elementary proximity, makes it a target neighborhood for families prioritizing schools and value.

The community is not as large or as amenity-heavy as some of the bigger Spring Hill subdivisions (Brixworth, Wades Grove, etc.), which gives it a quieter, smaller-neighborhood feel. With around 210 homes, you'll get to know your neighbors.

The Longview Rec Center serves as a de facto community gathering point — the gym, pools, and courts bring people together in a way that a typical subdivision clubhouse doesn't.

Honest Pros and Cons

Pros

• Adjacent to Longview Recreation Center — indoor pool, outdoor pool, gym, courts, walking track, game room. This is a county facility with more amenities than most HOA-funded clubhouses. The proximity is a genuine quality-of-life advantage.
• Walk-to-school for Longview Elementary — directly across the street, and Longview is one of the strongest elementary schools in WCS (74% math proficiency, top 5% statewide).
• Strong WCS school zone — all three schools (Longview, Heritage Middle, Independence High) perform well above state averages.
• Low HOA — $35/month is among the lowest in Spring Hill. The trade-off is no private pool/clubhouse, but the rec center next door more than compensates.
• Mid-range pricing for Williamson County — $477K-$700K gets you into WCS without the $800K+ price tag of custom-built neighborhoods.
• Fully built out — no active construction, established community.

Cons

• No subdivision pool or clubhouse — the HOA doesn't fund these. You rely on Longview Rec Center, which requires a separate membership. If the rec center didn't exist next door, this would be a significant gap.
• Production-built homes — Ryan Homes and Fox Ridge are competent builders, but these are not custom homes. If you've been looking at all-brick custom neighborhoods, the fit and finish here is a different tier.
• Compact lots — standard production-builder lot sizes. Don't expect much backyard space.
• Less architectural variety — compared to custom-built subdivisions, the homes have a more uniform look, especially within each builder's sections.
• Heritage Middle School mixed reviews — while the test scores are strong (top 19 of 583 statewide), some parents have reported concerns about school leadership and limited elective options. Worth investigating if you have a middle-schooler.
• Spring Hill traffic — Commonwealth Drive connects to busier arteries. Spring Hill's growth continues to push traffic volumes up across the board.
