Sawgrass is a 189-home single-family and townhome neighborhood off Kedron Road on Spring Hill's Maury County side, built by Lennar between roughly 2010 and 2025 on about 48 acres. It sits beside the Towhee Club golf course, and it shares one homeowners association with the adjacent Sawgrass West townhome community — 385 homes between them.
Compared to Sawgrass West, this is the larger-lot, higher-priced side of the pair: roughly $459,000 to $650,000, versus the $340Ks for the townhomes next door. It is also the side with lower HOA dues and individual water meters, which turns out to matter enormously.
History and Development
Lennar built Sawgrass in phases over about fifteen years — the dataset puts construction from 2010 into 2025, and city records bear that out. Spring Hill's Planning Commission was still handling maintenance-bond releases and rights-of-way dedication for Sawgrass Phases 2, 3 and 4 through April and June of 2026, which is the tail end of a long build.
Lennar turned the homeowners association over to residents in October 2025.
The shared-HOA problem
This is where Sawgrass stops being a straightforward neighborhood description.
Sawgrass and Sawgrass West are governed by one association. In June 2026, four residents — including HOA board president Kathy Shrimpling — went before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to oppose the release of Lennar's remaining bonds on the Sawgrass West phases, and described an association inheriting significant deferred liability.
Their account to the board included:
- A $500 capital contribution from every buyer across both neighborhoods, roughly $190,500 in total
- An association bank balance of about $22,000 as of June 2026
- No financial records available prior to June 2024, with requests to Lennar unanswered
- Roughly $210,000 in estimated roof repairs across 42 units, from vents and boots residents said were installed upside down
- About $60,000 to repair a roughly three-year-old pool with cracks and a caving pool house
- About $31,000 in backflow-box leaks and $30,000 in irrigation leaks over 23 months
- Sidewalk cracks in the single-family section that residents said Lennar never returned to repair
The heaviest allegations — a single master water meter for 196 homes, and a fire-department audit reporting a breach of fire-rated assembly in nearly every riser room — attach to the townhome section next door, not to Sawgrass proper. But the association is shared, so the money is shared. A special assessment levied to fix Sawgrass West problems is an assessment Sawgrass owners help pay.
That is the single most important thing to understand about buying here.
How it ended
The board deferred Resolutions 26-179 and 26-180 on June 15, 2026 at the request of Spring Hill Water, which wanted more time to review its site inspection. On July 6, 2026, both passed 9–0 after the utility reported it "has concluded their investigation and has no objections to these bonds being released tonight."
Context worth keeping: the residents' account is public testimony, not adjudicated fact. Lennar did not respond on the record, and the city's own review found no basis to withhold the bonds.
HOA and fees
One association, two dues tiers. Per resident testimony in June 2026:
| Monthly dues | Water | |
|---|---|---|
| Sawgrass single-family | $90 | Individually metered |
| Sawgrass West townhomes | $210 | One master meter for all 196 |
Sawgrass owners have the better end of this arrangement on both counts. Older listing data shows dues around $180/month, so treat any published figure as stale and ask for the current budget, reserve study, and any assessment history in writing.
Location and Access
Sawgrass sits at roughly 35.7176, -86.9027 — about 2.8 miles southeast of the Main Street / US-31 center, and 1.1 miles from the GM Spring Hill Manufacturing plant. Lunn Acres is a fifth of a mile north, Derryberry Estates a half mile east, and Sawgrass West directly west.
The neighborhood adjoins Towhee Club, the 18-hole Arnold Palmer Signature Design at 3901 Kedron Road that operated for years as King's Creek Golf Club and opened for public play in 2005. Golf frontage is genuinely part of the appeal here — with the caveat that at least one owner in the townhome section testified to daily golf-ball strikes on a par 3, so ask specifically about ball flight on any lot backing the course.
Kedron Road puts you a reasonable drive from the Crossings retail corridor and Saturn Parkway, though this is the southern end of Spring Hill rather than the center.
Homes
189 single-family homes and townhomes across roughly 48 acres, all Lennar, built 2010–2025.
Pricing
Recent range runs about $459,000 to $650,000 — meaningfully above the adjacent townhomes and squarely mid-market for Maury-side Spring Hill. The long build window means housing stock varies widely in age; a 2011 home and a 2024 home in the same neighborhood are different purchases with different warranty positions.
Amenities
Pool, playground, walking trails and sidewalks, plus adjacency to the golf course.
Be aware that the pool is the shared association's pool, and it is the same pool residents told the board needed roughly $60,000 in repairs and more than $20,000 in new filtration equipment in a single year.
Schools
Maury County Public Schools: Marvin Wright Elementary → Battle Creek Middle → Spring Hill High.
This is the Maury side, so Maury County property tax rates and Maury County schools rather than Williamson County. Confirm any specific address with Maury County Public Schools — zoning changes.
Honest Pros and Cons
Pros
- Individually metered water, unlike the townhome section next door
- Lower dues than the townhomes at roughly $90/month
- Golf course adjacency on an Arnold Palmer Signature course
- Established neighborhood with mature landscaping, not a construction zone
- Close to the GM plant
- Larger homes and lots than most Maury-side options at this price
Cons
- Shares an HOA with Sawgrass West, so you help fund repairs to a townhome community with documented problems
- Association reported roughly $22,000 on hand against six-figure repair estimates — special assessments are a live risk
- Same builder, same era, and residents report unrepaired sidewalk cracking on this side too
- Fifteen-year build window means very uneven home ages and warranty positions
- Maury County Public Schools rather than Williamson County
- The city released the builder's bonds in July 2026, so that avenue of leverage is closed
