Cost of Living
Spring Hill's cost of living index is about 105 (where 100 is the national average). This means it is about 5% higher than the national average but still affordable. However, it is still considered more affordable than many major cities nationwide. For example, the cost of living score in California or New York ranges from 170-200 depending on the area you are living in.
Spring Hill is divided up into two counties.
It's important to know that Spring Hill is in two different counties, Williamson and Maury. So, if you want to be in the Williamson County school district, ensure your home searches are set up only to show those homes.
Williamson County is highly desirable, so the cost of those homes will be significantly higher than those in Maury County. To demonstrate, I pulled up homes in both areas of Spring Hill. On the W.C. side, the median home price right now (Aug 2024) is $740,000, while in Maury County, the median price is $529,945.
I also thought it was interesting that the median sales price has gone by $90,000 in one year. That should tell you how popular Spring Hill has become.
Spring Hill has some fantastic options depending on what you're looking for. If you would like a list of homes that fit your criteria, let us know, and we can send those to you.
