About The Laurels
What to Know About Living in The Laurels
The Laurels sits in east Brentwood off Split Log Road at Charity Drive, with a Brentwood mailing address and Williamson County Schools assignment. Established in the mid-1990s and largely built out between 1998 and 2005, it is a smaller, intentionally low-density community — roughly 45 estate homes on one-acre-and-larger lots shaded by old-growth trees. Homes tend to run large (often in the 4,300–6,200+ square-foot range) with custom millwork, upgraded kitchens, and open floor plans. There is no big amenity center here; the appeal is the land, the maturity of the neighborhood, and the location — easy I-65 access north to Nashville and quick reach to Cool Springs, with golf and country clubs nearby. The HOA is deliberately light.

Schools
The Laurels is zoned to Williamson County Schools — typically Kenrose Elementary, Woodland Middle, and Ravenwood High School. WCS is Tennessee’s top-ranked district and the Ravenwood zone is a meaningful piece of the resale story. Always verify the current zoning for a specific address.
HOA
A light HOA (historically around $200/year) covering common-area basics rather than a big amenity structure — part of the appeal for buyers who want acreage without resort-community dues. Confirm the current amount and covenants before closing.

Buying or Selling in The Laurels
Why Work With Joshua in The Laurels
Acreage in Brentwood is scarce — and specific
one-acre-plus lots inside the Ravenwood zone are a limited, sought-after niche. When a Laurels home comes up it moves; being ready (and represented) matters.
Established beats new for some buyers
mature trees, settled landscaping, and a proven street can’t be built overnight. Joshua helps buyers weigh a Laurels resale against newer nearby construction on the things that actually drive long-term value.
Low-HOA estate neighborhoods reward local knowledge
with only ~45 homes and few public listings at a time, a lot of activity here is word-of-mouth and off-market. Joshua’s Compass network and neighborhood relationships surface homes buyers won’t find on Zillow.
Common Questions
The Laurels — Frequently Asked Questions
How much do homes in The Laurels cost in 2026?
The Laurels is an estate neighborhood, so pricing is driven by lot size and square footage — most homes trade in the low-seven-figure range, with larger or updated homes pushing higher. Because so few come up for sale at once, comps matter a lot; Joshua can pull exact recent sales for any address.
What schools are zoned to The Laurels?
The Laurels is zoned to Williamson County Schools — typically Kenrose Elementary, Woodland Middle, and Ravenwood High School. WCS schools are routinely top-ranked in Tennessee. Always verify the current zoning for a specific address before writing an offer.
How big are the lots in The Laurels?
Most home sites in The Laurels are one acre or larger, shaded by mature trees — rare for Brentwood at this price point and a big part of the neighborhood’s appeal. It’s an established, low-density community of roughly 45 homes.
Does The Laurels have an HOA and amenities?
The HOA is intentionally light (historically around $200/year) and there’s no large amenity center — the draw is the land, the mature setting, and the location rather than pools and a clubhouse. Confirm the current dues and any covenants before closing.
Are there off-market opportunities in The Laurels?
Often, yes. With only about 45 homes and few public listings at any time, a meaningful share of activity here is off-market or word-of-mouth. Joshua monitors the neighborhood and can flag quiet or Coming Soon opportunities before they hit MLS.
