Ashton Park in Franklin, TN is the first subdivision to tour if you'll drive to the Cool Springs offices every day: it's about 1.5 miles in a straight line from CoolSprings Galleria, closer than any of the other nine subdivisions compared in this guide. It's inside city limits and all Williamson County Schools (WCS). The catch is that one name covers two kinds of house, small cottage lots and estate lots, so the median county appraisal won't tell you what yours will cost. Decide which one you want first; if you want more land on the same side of town, compare Avalon.
You're relocating for a job in the Cool Springs offices and want a short drive, and Ashton Park is on your list.
Is Ashton Park right for you?
Ashton Park fits if
- You want the shortest run to Cool Springs of the ten subdivisions compared here: about 1.5 miles in a straight line to the Galleria.
- You want a choice between small cottage lots and estate lots inside one plan: lots run from about 0.09 to 0.38 acre.
- You want city limits and WCS with no FSSD question: $1.566 per $100 in 2026.
Look elsewhere if
- You want more land and woods behind a gate on the same side of town: Avalon left over 300 acres natural.
- You want the lowest appraisal you can find inside the city: Forrest Crossing has a $703,000 median.
- You want to be closer to downtown Franklin: Polk Place is 1.9 miles from Main Street.

What it costs to own in Ashton Park each year
Prefilled with the typical price used in this guide for Ashton Park. Add HOA dues if the home has them: ask the HOA for its current budget. Insurance isn't estimated: get a quote.

Is Ashton Park right for a Cool Springs job?
If you'll drive to the Cool Springs offices every day, Ashton Park is the first plan to tour. It's about 1.5 miles from the Galleria in a straight line, closer than Avalon at 2.6 and much closer than anything on the west side of Franklin.
The catch is that the name covers two kinds of house. About a tenth of the lots are under 0.09 acre, cottage or townhome size, and the top tenth is close to 0.38 acre. Decide which one you want first. The median appraisal of $962,200 sits between the two and describes neither.
Two products in one plan: Ashton Park cottages and estate lots
Cottage and townhome lots in Ashton Park
The low end of the lot range, around 0.09 acre, is the size of attached homes and small-yard cottages. Listing sites describe a mix of cottage or townhome units and estate homes, built from about 2002 to 2008; confirm the property type on the parcel record, because maintenance obligations and HOA rules can differ between them.
Estate lots in Ashton Park
At the top of the range, lots approach 0.38 acre and appraisals pass $1.28 million.
| Ashton Park lots | Lot size | County appraisal | 2026 tax at $1.566 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low end (10th percentile) | 0.089 acre | $652,900 | About $2,556 |
| Median | 0.18 acre | $962,200 | About $3,767 |
| High end (90th percentile) | 0.378 acre | $1,287,900 | About $5,042 |
Lot and appraisal percentiles are calculated separately, so a 0.089-acre lot won't always carry a $652,900 appraisal. Use the rows as a range, then check the house itself.
What an Ashton Park house costs each month
The mortgage follows the price you pay. The tax follows the county's appraisal of the house, which can sit well above or below that price.
Example Ashton Park monthly cost at the 37067 typical value
Take the cost tool's starting price, Zillow's 37067 typical value of $941,539 (September 2026). With 20% down at Freddie Mac's 30-year average of 7.4% (week of October 15, 2026), principal and interest come to about $5,215 a month. Add about $314 of tax for a house on the median appraisal and you're near $5,529 before HOA dues and insurance.
From there, adjust in two steps. Every $100,000 you pay above or below that price moves principal and interest by about $554 a month at the same rate and down payment. Then swap the tax line for the house's own appraisal: the lot table above shows about $213 a month at the cottage end and about $420 at the estate end.
Add the HOA dues from the association's site and a homeowners insurance quote; the Tennessee homeowners insurance guide covers what drives premiums here. The cost tool on this page does the tax and HOA part for any price you enter.
The Ashton Park commute from Cool Springs Boulevard
From Ashton Park to CoolSprings Galleria and Main Street
Cool Springs Boulevard is about 0.2 mile from the middle of the plan and East McEwen Drive about 0.4 mile. In a straight line the Galleria is about 1.5 miles and Main Street about 4.0 miles. For offices and shops in that district, read the Cool Springs area guide.
From Ashton Park to I-65 and Nashville
Cool Springs Boulevard runs west to I-65, which is the main route north to Brentwood and Nashville. If you'll commute into Nashville rather than Cool Springs, the advantage over a west Franklin plan shrinks, because both routes end on the same interstate. Drive the trip at your real departure time, and read the Franklin to Nashville commute guide for the alternatives.
HOA dues, transfer fee and the gate in Ashton Park
Where to read the Ashton Park HOA dues
The HOA's site, ashtonparkhoa.org, has a page for dues and transfer fees. It wouldn't load for our research, so we haven't printed a figure; open it in a browser before you offer, and ask the seller for the resale certificate, which states the dues, the transfer fee and any assessment for that specific house.
Is Ashton Park gated?
Listing sites describe gated entrances from Cool Springs Boulevard and at McEwen. We couldn't confirm that on a primary source, so check the gates on your tour and ask the HOA how they're operated and paid for.
Franklin property tax and schools in Ashton Park
Property tax in Ashton Park for 2026
Inside city limits and off FSSD's list, the 2026 combined rate is $1.566 per $100 of assessed value. At the median appraisal, assessed at 25%, that's about $3,767 a year, or $314 a month. The guide to Williamson County property tax explains each part of the rate.
Williamson County Schools in Ashton Park
The Census places Ashton Park in the Williamson County School District, and it doesn't appear on FSSD's neighborhood list. Check each address in the WCS school zone finder for current assignments, and read how the two Franklin systems differ on the Franklin schools page.
Comparable sales in a small plan like Ashton Park
Why one sale moves Ashton Park comparables
With 229 residential lots in two sections, Ashton Park is one of the smaller plans compared in this guide, so a single sale can move its comparables. Ask for the last 12 months of sales in the same section and of the same product type before you set an offer: a cottage sale tells you nothing about an estate house here.
Why Ashton Park has no Zillow value of its own
The cost tool starts from Zillow's typical value for the 37067 ZIP, $941,539 in September 2026, because Zillow has no subdivision figure. Swap in the price of the house you're touring: a cottage and an estate house here shouldn't share a number. ZIP-by-ZIP values are on the Franklin ZIP code guide.
When was Ashton Park built?
The City of Franklin's subdivision layer records Ashton Park in 2001 with 231 units approved under SD-R zoning, a figure that includes the attached homes. The county parcel layer shows two recorded sections and 229 residential lots, so the plan is essentially complete: what you see on a tour is what will be there.
Before you offer on an Ashton Park house
Product type on the Ashton Park parcel record
Confirm whether the house is detached or attached, and whether exterior maintenance is covered by a separate fee. That changes what the dues buy and what you'll repair yourself.
The gate and common areas in Ashton Park
Ask the HOA who runs the gates, what the reserve fund holds for them, and whether any repair is planned. Gate systems are a shared cost that lands on every owner.
Ashton Park or Avalon: what decides it
Both sit on the Cool Springs side of Franklin between Cool Springs Boulevard and McEwen Drive, both are inside city limits and both are WCS. Avalon is the larger, lower-density plan.
| Ashton Park | Avalon | |
|---|---|---|
| City record | 2001; 231 units | 2002; 446 units at 0.8 per acre |
| Median lot | 0.18 acre | 0.21 acre (top tenth about 1 acre) |
| Median county appraisal | $962,200 | $953,050 |
| Middle 80% of appraisals | $652,900 to $1,287,900 | $679,500 to $2,771,000 |
| Straight line to the Galleria | 1.5 miles | 2.6 miles |
| HOA | One HOA, dues on its site | Several associations by enclave |
The medians are nearly identical; the tails aren't. Pick Ashton Park for the shorter drive and a single HOA. Pick Avalon for wooded land and the option of an acre lot. See both on the Franklin neighborhoods overview, and Bill can tour either by video if you can't fly in.
