Dogwood Villas: A Retirement Dream in the Heart of Tennessee

Nestled in the charming town of Smyrna, Tennessee, Dogwood Villas is not just a community for discerning over 55s, but a lifestyle destination. This idyllic independent living community provides residents with a unique blend of serene living and active recreational opportunities, all just a stone’s throw from the bustling city of Nashville.

Dogwood Villas

Spanning 74 meticulously crafted homes, Dogwood Villas ensures every resident finds their dream dwelling. Opt for a ready-to-move-in LS Curated Collection home or immerse yourself in our Selections Experience to add your personal touch. Our array of homes, spread over 1 or 2 floors, offer configurations of 2-3 bedrooms and 2-3 bathrooms. Each home also boasts a spacious 2-bay garage.

Amenities and Recreational Opportunities

Life at Dogwood Villas extends beyond the beautifully finished homes. Engage in a friendly pickleball match with your neighbors or gather around the fire pit at the pavilion during the evenings.

Outside of the community, there’s plenty to do in Smyrna, too. It offers the allure of a peaceful town atmosphere, with multiple restaurant districts, parks, and stores. The most popular places to dine are off Smynra’s main thoroughfare, Sam Ridley Parkway. There you can enjoy Southern home-style cooking (and hospitality) at the Smyrna Cafe, steaks and more at Hickory Falls, Thai at Thida Thai, or Indian at the Curry House. Of course, there are more than a handful of barbecue joints to enjoy, too, as well as plenty of cafes.

If you enjoy history, you’ll need to visit Smyrna’s Sam Davis Home and Plantation more than once to explore its 200-acre museum and working farm. For outdoor recreation, Gregory Mill Park offers walking trails, picnic tables, and a splash pad (ideal when grandchildren come to visit). Another option is the Jefferson Mill Recreation Area, which is on the banks of the Stones River. You are also just a short drive from Long Hunter State Park, and Couchville Cedar Glade Natural Area, and more. Smyrna Golf Course is public-owned and operated by the city, so it offers both traditional golf and foot golf, a unique blend of soccer and golf.

Smyrna’s thriving economy, bolstered by one of Nissan’s largest manufacturing facilities, ensures a diverse cultural scene and robust community spirit. Combine these features with a mere 30-minute drive to Nashville’s offerings, and it’s clear why Smyrna earned a place as one of U.S. News & World Report’s best places to retire.

Life is Better at Dogwood Villas

Dogwood Villas invites you to a life where every day is yours to define. Whether it’s filled with community activities, explorations in Smyrna, or just relaxing in your low-maintenance home enjoying life’s simple pleasures. We often have additional buyer incentives available, so don’t wait to contact us to find your dream home at Dogwood Villas.
