Is Lockwood Glen a good fit for a Franklin relocation?

It's the pick if a newer house matters more to you than a yard: you're paying for recent construction and a short run to Carothers Parkway and I-65, not for land.

The catch is the school line. FSSD marks Lockwood Glen as split between its district and WCS, so the system and the tax rate change by address. Settle that before you compare two listings on price.

The Lockwood Glen school split and what it does to the Franklin tax bill

FSSD's neighborhood list lists Lockwood Glen with an asterisk that marks it as split between FSSD and WCS. Two Census Bureau test points inside the plan both fell in WCS, but two points can't show how the plan divides, and only the address lookup settles it. Check each house on FSSD's neighborhood list and in the WCS school zone finder. FSSD runs PreK-8; its students go on to WCS high schools.

WCS-side tax in Lockwood Glen

Inside city limits and outside FSSD, the 2026 combined rate is $1.566 per $100 of assessed value. At the median appraisal of $866,250, assessed at 25%, the bill comes to about $3,391 a year, or $283 a month. That's the default the cost tool uses for this page.

FSSD-side tax in Lockwood Glen

Inside both the city and FSSD, the 2026 rate is $2.2433. The same median house would pay about $4,858 a year, $1,467 more than its WCS-side neighbor. Switch the tool to "Franklin + FSSD" if your address lands there. The 2026 Williamson County tax rate guide lists every combination.

Who developed Lockwood Glen and what the plan allows

Crescent Resources, the Lockwood Glen developer

Crescent Resources bought 221 acres from South Carothers Partners in January 2013, with Pearl Street Partners as development manager. The site has about a mile of frontage on the Carothers Parkway extension on the I-65 corridor, about a mile south of Murfreesboro Road. The City of Franklin annexed the area in 1999 under Ordinance 98-62, well before anything was built.

The original Lockwood Glen plan of 384 homes

The 2013 announcement called for up to 384 for-sale homes and 240 apartments, starting with 70 single-family homesites and 27 townhomes. That mix is why the Lockwood Glen name covers rentals as well as houses for sale.

The 2016 city approval for Lockwood Glen

The city's subdivision layer records Lockwood Glen in 2016 with 638 units approved under SD-R zoning, a figure that counts the apartments. The county parcel layer shows 208 single-family residential lots across seven sections so far.

Is Heartwood at Lockwood Glen part of the neighborhood HOA?

No. Heartwood at Lockwood Glen is an apartment community, and the city lists a distinct apartment tract alongside the for-sale subdivision. Apartment residents rent from the property's owner; the HOA governs the for-sale homes. A review that mentions rent, pet fees or a leasing office is about the apartments. Ask the HOA, in writing, which common areas its dues maintain and whether any are shared with the apartment tract.

Lockwood Glen lot sizes and county appraisals

How small Lockwood Glen lots run

Appraisals in the seven Lockwood Glen sections

That's what new construction costs on the tax roll. It's a tax value, not a sale price, so use it to compare houses here and the recent sales to write the offer.

The approved Lockwood Glen plan next door

With 638 units approved and 208 single-family lots recorded, parts of the plan are still to be built or belong to the apartment tract. Look at the recorded plat and the city's approved plan for any open ground near the house. What's shown there is what can be built, whatever the view looks like today.

The lake park, amenities and HOA dues in Lockwood Glen

Robinson Lake park project at Lockwood Glen

A construction listing describes a park at the Robinson Lake dam with costs shared by the City of Franklin and the developer. We couldn't confirm its status on a city source, so ask the HOA three things: what's open, what's still planned, and whether the city or the HOA pays to maintain it. The last answer can show up in your dues.

HOA dues in Lockwood Glen

No dues figure is published. Request the resale certificate as soon as you're under contract, and ask who pays for any common area shared with the apartments.

Lockwood Glen or Forrest Crossing: what decides it

Both sit near Murfreesboro Road on Franklin's east side, and both can put you in FSSD. Age separates them: one was recorded in 2016, while Forrest Crossing started in 1987.

Choose Lockwood Glen for new construction and fewer near-term repairs. Choose Forrest Crossing if FSSD is a must for every address and you'll take an older house for a median appraisal about $163,000 lower.
