Rental Homes in Springfield, TN

With its historic roots and unrivaled scenic beauty, Springfield is living proof that it is possible to enjoy small town living near the big city. Established in 1796, this town of 16,000 is a mere 30 minutes from downtown Nashville. Springfield's central square and the surrounding loop of Victorian and Edwardian houses are living landmarks of Tennessee's past. They have even been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Residents meet up on the town square to visit the local history museum, shop at specialty stores, eat at one of the downtown restaurants, and even to attend church.

Springfield has some of the most affordable housing in all of Middle Tennessee. There are scores of starter homes for well under $1,000/mo, and numerous larger homes in the $1,250/mo range. The majority of homes on the market are located away from the city center, in recently established as well as older neighborhoods. Unlike some other towns in Middle Tennessee, Springfield does not have a glut of excess housing, primarily because growth here has taken place at a more modest pace than it has elsewhere. There are a number of nicely-built executive-style mansions here, though, that can be rented for a relatively modern price. A home that might rent for $5,000/mo in Franklin or Belle Meade will only cost $2,500/mo in Springfield.

Located in the very heart of Tennessee's agricultural belt, Springfield offers residents all of the essential services and amenities of modern living. In addition to the local municipal airport, Springfield residents also enjoy access to a sterling public library, a well-equipped YMCA, and one of the very best public golf courses in the entire state. At least two large-scale manufacturers provide jobs for more than 3,000 people each, and a handful of smaller ones employ hundreds more. The completion of the North Crest Medical Center and its nearby medical office building also makes Springfield a viable destination for active retirees.
