Newcomers are easily drawn to the serenity and country atmosphere of Maury County, with virtually endless possibilities for choices in homes and lifestyles. Although this region claims more magnificent and stately antebellum homes than any other Tennessee county, newer construction is also available. One of the county’s most appealing aspects is the abundance of picturesque landscapes that create a backdrop for fine residential communities. Many are drawn to this area as a tranquil retirement haven, although professionals and families in all stages also appreciate the superb quality of life.

An event occurred in the mid 1980s that dramatically shifted the direction of the county. The nationally sought-after Saturn automotive manufacturing company found an ideal location for a major facility site in northern Maury County. Today, Maury County boasts a diversified economy, a thriving Courthouse Square, and a busy downtown district in Columbia. Spring Hill, the most northern community, also ranks as one of the fastest growing cities in Tennessee.

Services
Although residents of the county enjoy the pleasures of rural living, they also have access to superb services. The presence of Columbia State Community College is the ideal complement to the outstanding public school system and selection of private schools. Maury County students tend to excel both scholastically and athletically, garnering national recognition. Strong
parental support and innovative programs like the award-winning Columbia Central High School’s Pride TV program ensure the full development of each individual’s intellectual and creative potential.

State-of-the-art healthcare is just around the corner from home at Maury Regional Hospital, anchoring a regional healthcare system of medical centers and specialized facilities that serve the residents of south-central Tennessee. Committed to personal care in a high-tech environment, Maury Regional has been recognized among the nation’s “Top 100” hospitals for effective patient care and excellence. Constantly expanding to meet the needs of a growing community, the hospital has recently added a new outpatient center and a cardiac care center. This 275-bed hospital stands as the largest between Nashville and Atlanta, GA.

Lifestyle
The good life in Maury County blends easy access to metropolitan amenities with homespun delights and local attractions. Recreational facilities and opportunities include lush regional parks, golf courses, swimming pools, a country club, a skating rink, ball fields, tennis courts, a YMCA, soccer fields, Natchez Trace Parkway, and recreational fishing. Regional parks invite every imaginable outdoor adventure. The lack of traffic and urban bustle, the friendly people, and a slower living pace combine with low property taxes and high property values for a superb quality of life. Historic sites, museums, restaurants, and libraries add to the quality of life.

Those who appreciate the arts no longer have to travel to Nashville to enjoy the symphony or a Broadway production. The local Columbia State Community College recently opened the Cherry Theater and now hosts professional entertainment. This 35,000-square-foot venue is a showcase for the finest of national, regional, and local talent. A number of celebrities call Maury County home, drawn to the sense of history and natural beauty. Downtown Columbia has been described by some as “something right out of Disney.”

Straddling both Williamson and Maury counties, the rapidly growing town of Spring Hill is just a 30-minute drive from Nashville. Famous battlefields, gracious historic homes, lovely country manors, and suburban communities combine in this vibrant city. When Spring Hill welcomed a leading automobile manufacturing operation to the community in the 1980s, the sharp rise in job growth accelerated residential and commercial development. In fact, the nearby Thompson’s Station community incorporated in 1990 in order to stop Spring Hill from continually trying to annex large parcels of land in order to accommodate the explosion of new-home building. Local and regional events play a major role in community life, from the Main Street Festival and Town & Country Tour of Homes to Mule Day, Rippavilla Civil War Battle Re-Enactment, and the delightful Dickens of a Christmas in these warm and family-oriented communities. The Spring Hill and Thompson’s Station area is one of the most rapidly growing in all of Tennessee.
