About McKay's Mill
What to Know About Living in McKay's Mill
Built primarily through the early-to-mid 2000s on the east side of Franklin, McKay's Mill is a traditional master-planned subdivision rather than a new-urbanism community — meaning more conventional residential streets, larger lots than Westhaven on average, and a clearly residential character with no commercial center inside the community. The architecture is Southern traditional with hardiplank exteriors, brick fronts, and family-sized floor plans typically in the 2,500–4,500 square-foot range. Amenities include multiple pools, a clubhouse, tennis courts, playgrounds, and miles of sidewalks. The community sits in a strong Williamson County Schools zone and offers easy access to I-65 for commuting toward Cool Springs, Brentwood, and downtown Nashville.
