About Providence
What to Know About Living in Providence
Providence is Mount Juliet's signature master-planned community, developed in phases roughly between 2005 and 2015 across nearly 1,000 acres on the city's growing northwest side. The community is built around the 100-plus-acre Providence Marketplace, putting Kroger, Target, Home Depot, restaurants, and a movie theater within a short walk or bike ride of most homes — a degree of walkable retail access that is uncommon in suburban Middle Tennessee. Inside, Providence is organized into numerous distinct sub-neighborhoods offering everything from townhomes to larger single-family homes, plus a dedicated 55-plus cottage section. Residents enjoy neighborhood parks, extensive sidewalks, and a private lake amenity area, and families benefit from Rutland Elementary School located within the community itself. Because the development spans so many sections and price points, both home styles and HOA dues vary; buyers should confirm the specifics for any given section. Providence consistently ranks among Wilson County's most active resale markets.

Approximately the high $300s to around $900k, with most homes landing in the mid-$400s to high-$500s.
