What is Laurelbrooke?
Laurelbrooke is an estate community in the Grassland area north of downtown Franklin. Southern Land Company, the developer behind Westhaven, began developing it in 1999. A published neighborhood guide describes it as 578 acres with 311 homesites and about 200 acres of preserved woodland, while noting that other references give 600 acres and 350 homesites. Ask the HOA for the current figures if size matters to your decision.
The grounds include creeks, fountains and fishing ponds.
Is Laurelbrooke gated? The staffed gate, explained
Yes, and the gate is staffed. Laurelbrooke has two entrances with 24-hour staffed guard posts, not keypads or call boxes. A staffed gate puts a person at the entrance around the clock. A keypad or call box controls the road but leaves the decision to whoever has the code.
The dues pay for that staffing. Legends Ridge, about half a mile away, is gated without a staffed gatehouse and has roughly half the dues. Our guide to gated communities in Franklin compares gate types and dues across the city.
The five neighborhoods inside Laurelbrooke
Laurelbrooke is made up of five named neighborhoods: The Woodlands, The Estates, The Reserve, The Lakes and The Boulevard. French Chateau-style estate homes line the main boulevard. Published sales data does not break prices out by neighborhood, so ask for the recent sales in the specific section you are considering.

Figures below are RealTracs MLS sales data, 12 months to October 2026. Zillow publishes no Laurelbrooke value; its typical home value for ZIP 37069 was $1,023,572 in August 2026, so Laurelbrooke's median sale is close to three times the typical value for its ZIP.

House size, age and construction
Homes sold ran from 4,297 to 14,562 square feet, with a median of 7,158, and were built from 2000 to 2020. They had four to six bedrooms, with all-brick or brick-and-stone exteriors.

How fast homes sell
The median home went under contract in 38 days, but the range ran from 1 to 210 days. Sales closed at 86.7% to 105.5% of first asking price, a spread that shows how much the starting price matters at this level. I can pull Laurelbrooke's closed sales by section if you are pricing a home to buy or sell.
HOA dues and amenities
What the dues cost and cover
The HOA does not publish dues. MLS records show annualized dues of $4,168 to $5,736 a year, with a median of $5,508, mostly billed quarterly. They cover the staffed gate. Get the exact figure for the address, any special assessment and the transfer fee, if there is one, in writing before you offer.
Clubhouse, pool and grounds
Laurelbrooke has a clubhouse and pool; sources give its size as both 4,000 and 6,500 square feet, so treat that as unconfirmed. The ponds, creeks and fountains along the boulevard are part of the common grounds.
Laurelbrooke or Legends Ridge?
The two gated communities sit about half a mile apart off Sneed Road, and buyers often compare them. All figures are 12-month RealTracs MLS sales data.
| Laurelbrooke | Legends Ridge | |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale | $2,987,500 (14 sales) | $2,372,500 (13 sales) |
| Lots on recent sales | 0.46 to 3.06 acres | 0.89 to 1.30 acres |
| Gate | 24-hour staffed guard posts | Gated, no staffed gatehouse |
| Median annual dues | $5,508 | $2,796 |
| Median days to contract | 38 | 68 |
Laurelbrooke's median runs about 26% higher, with roughly double the dues. The premium buys the staffed gate and a wider lot range; Legends Ridge has more uniform one-acre lots and the Vanderbilt Legends Club next door.
Location, schools and taxes
One published neighborhood guide puts historic downtown Franklin about ten minutes away and Nashville roughly 25 minutes north. Temple Hills and its country club are also off Sneed Road.
All 14 recent sales recorded Williamson County Schools on the MLS. That shows the district on file, not a zoning commitment for any address; check with the district and read our Franklin schools guide. For the tax bill on a $3M home, see the Williamson County property tax guide, and for financing at this price, the jumbo loan guide.
Laurelbrooke pros and cons
Pros
- Entrances staffed 24 hours a day rather than a keypad.
- Lots up to 3.06 acres on recent sales, with preserved woodland, creeks and ponds.
- Consistent construction: brick or brick-and-stone homes built from 2000 to 2020.
Cons
- Dues with a median of $5,508 a year, about double Legends Ridge.
- Only 14 sales a year, so a few unusual homes can move the median.
- The homes sold in the year were built from 2000 to 2020, so new construction is not what you buy here.
