West Smyrna
West Smyrna is the newer side of town, with more recent development and a growing mix of neighborhoods, amenities, and home styles.
Smyrna is one of Rutherford County’s most important communities — known for major employers, easy access to Nashville, and a lifestyle that blends lakeside recreation with local history.
From the Nissan manufacturing presence to Percy Priest Lake nearby, Smyrna offers a wide range of home styles and price points. You’ll also find points of pride like the Sam Davis Home and the Blue Angels legacy honored through the Capt. Jeff Kuss memorial.
Smyrna is also home to the Smyrna Airport, the third largest airport in Tennessee and the busiest general aviation airport in the state — a big part of why this area continues to grow.
If you want to be close to Nashville without being in the middle of it, Smyrna is a strong option. You can be near I-24 and major job centers, while still having access to parks, trails, lake days, and local events that make the community feel connected.
