Where Is Spring Hill, Tennessee?
Spring Hill is in the heart of Middle Tennessee, between Franklin to the north and Columbia to the south. Interstate 65 runs along the city’s east side, and Saturn Parkway connects I-65 to U.S. Route 31 through the middle of town. That location puts Spring Hill within easy reach of Cool Springs, Franklin and Brentwood, and within a reasonable drive of downtown Nashville and the airport.
What county is Spring Hill, TN in?
Both. Spring Hill is split between Williamson County and Maury County. The county line matters for property taxes, school zoning and some services, so it’s worth confirming which side of the line a specific address falls on before you buy.
What It’s Like Living in Spring Hill, TN
Spring Hill blends a suburban, family-friendly feel with quick access to the rest of the Nashville region. Families make up a large share of residents (nearly 29% of the population is under 18), and about half of adults hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. Most homes are owner-occupied, and much of the housing is newer construction built during the past two decades of growth.
Day to day, residents get the convenience of big-name retail and dining at The Crossings of Spring Hill, a growing mix of local restaurants and shops, and neighborhood amenities like walking trails, pools and green space. Many people come here for more space and newer homes than they could find closer to Nashville, while staying close to jobs in Franklin, Cool Springs and Brentwood.
Is Spring Hill, TN a good place to live?
For many buyers, yes. Spring Hill offers strong household incomes, a high homeownership rate, newer housing, two public school districts, easy interstate access and a growing local job base. The trade-offs that come with growth, such as rush-hour traffic on Saturn Parkway and I-65 and ongoing construction, are real, so it’s worth driving your commute at peak time before you decide.
Schools in Spring Hill
Spring Hill is served by two public school districts:
- Williamson County Schools serves addresses on the Williamson County (north) side of the city.
- Maury County Public Schools serves addresses on the Maury County (south) side.
Zoning is set by address, not by city, so always check the specific home with the district’s school-zone lookup. Private and faith-based schools are also available in Spring Hill and nearby Franklin and Columbia.
Commuting and Getting Around
Most Spring Hill residents drive. The average commute is about 30 minutes (Census ACS 2020–2024). Key routes include:
- I-65 north to Franklin, Cool Springs, Brentwood and Nashville, and south to Columbia
- The I-65 / Buckner Road interchange, which opened in 2024 and gave the city its second direct interstate connection
- Saturn Parkway (TN-396), the east–west connector between I-65 and U.S. 31
- U.S. Route 31 (Main Street), the historic north–south corridor through town
Franklin is roughly a 20–25 minute drive. Downtown Nashville is about 30 miles away, and drive times there depend heavily on I-65 traffic.
Jobs and the Local Economy
Spring Hill has a strong local manufacturing base anchored by General Motors’ Spring Hill campus and the Ultium Cells battery plant. In late September 2026, Ultium Cells announced a roughly $1 billion upgrade to the Spring Hill facility to produce a new type of EV battery cell. The expansion is projected to add about 500 jobs to a current workforce of around 1,200. Beyond manufacturing, Spring Hill residents commute to healthcare, corporate and professional jobs throughout Williamson County and Nashville, and the city’s own retail, restaurant and service sectors keep growing with the population.

Homes and Real Estate in Spring Hill
Spring Hill’s housing ranges from established subdivisions to brand-new communities. The median value of owner-occupied homes was $493,800 in the latest Census estimate (2020–2024), and new construction makes up a big share of what’s for sale. Buyers can choose from single-family homes, newer townhome communities and low-maintenance options designed for people who want less yard work and more time to enjoy the area.
Why new construction fits Spring Hill
Because so much of Spring Hill is newly built, buyers can often find modern floor plans, energy-efficient construction, builder warranties and community amenities that older neighborhoods don’t offer. For buyers relocating to the area, a move-in-ready new home also takes the guesswork out of timing.
