Wades Grove Market Report – May 2009

Spring Hill Real Estate – Wades Grove is a John Maher Builders development with 2 communities separated by a creek. Wades grove is at the front of the development, and consists of all brick homes built exclusively by John Maher builders with standard features that were always considered an upgrade for a Maher home, or were never available. Starion counter tops and 42 inch hardwood cabinets in the kitchen, extensive crown molding, extensive hardwoods, finished, insulated, and painted garages, shower doors, tile floors in all bathrooms, all on a minimum of 2500 square ft.

The crossings at Wades Grove has completely different building standards, with Formica counter tops, 36 inch kitchen cabinets, unfinished garages, smaller patios and decks, with homes as small as 1400 square ft. The Jones company also has homes in this section.  The biggest concern that I have about the crossings, is the close proximity to interstate 65 and the noise that come with it.

Discoveries at St. Jude have completely changed how doctors treat children with cancer and other catastrophic illnesses. Since St. Jude was established, the survival rate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common type of childhood cancer, has increased from 4 percent in 1962 to 94 percent today. St. Jude has treated children from across the United States and from more than 70 countries. Doctors across the world consult with St. Jude on their toughest cases. Also, St. Jude has an International Outreach Program to improve the survival rates of children with catastrophic illnesses worldwide through the transfer of knowledge, technology and organizational skills.

All medically eligible patients who are accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family’s ability to pay. St. Jude is the only pediatric research center where families never pay for treatments that are not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. In addition to providing medical services to eligible patients, St. Jude also assists families with transportation, lodging, and meals. Three separate specially-designed patient housing facilities-Grizzly House for short-term (up to two weeks), Ronald McDonald House for medium-term (two weeks to 3 months), and Target House for long-term (3 months or more)-provide housing for patients and up to three family members, with no cost to the patient. These policies, along with research expenses and other costs, cause the hospital to incur more than $1.5 million in operating costs each day. Around $180,000 is covered by patient insurance, the remaining $1.34M/day is funded by charitable contributions.

Brentwood TN Schools

Brentwood TN Real Estate – One of Elizabeth’s friends had a call today from her adult son about schools, and  thought it was interesting enough that I would share it. Several years ago he bought a house in a new development in south Nashville (Davidson County)The neighborhood seems fine, and the commute to his job in downtown Nashville was reasonably short, so all was good. Next year his oldest child starts his first year of school, so the parents decided to visit the school that their neighborhood was zoned to attend.

Here is the conversation after the visit. “Mom – I need some help, I can’t send my child to that school”. Mom “Why Not”. Son – “Most of the parents looked like gang members”  Mom – “Those parents are your neighbors, If you can live a half mile away from them, then your children will attend the same schools, go to the same sporting events, and hang out with them after school.” Son “Will you pay for my child to go to private school?” Mom – “NO”

What are his options?

1. Let his child attend the school, and hope for the best

2. Sell his home at a loss, and move to a better school district

3. Pay for his child to attend private school – good ones are around $10,000 or more per year

If option 2 is your choice, then you need to pay close attention to the following chart. Schools in Williamson county are always at the top of the charts for Tennessee, but some are better than others. If you are going to move for education purposes, then get the best school you can afford.

Brentwood schools are traditionally at the top of list, but Franklin has several top schools also, and Franklin also has the lowest rated school on this Chart. Be careful, or just call me. I’ll make sure that you achieve your goals.

For many years, parent have moved to Brentwood and Franklin Tennessee to allow their children to have the best education they can get in Public schools. I think it’s a trend that will continue.
