Carellton Subdivision Guide

Carellton is a planned residential community in Gallatin, Tennessee, near Long Hollow Pike and the Station Camp area. Current builder information describes the community as sold out, so buyers should focus on resale listings and verify each property’s HOA documents, fees, amenities, school assignment, utilities and city services before making an offer. The neighborhood includes shared amenities such as a clubhouse and pool, but current access rules and hours should be confirmed with the HOA or property seller.

Carellton is a planned residential community in Gallatin, Tennessee, in the Long Hollow and Station Camp area. City planning records continue to identify Carellton phases as active subdivision-development and public-improvement records, including Phase 7A west of Carellton Drive and east of Station Camp Creek. Earlier local development information placed the community near Long Hollow Pike and Big Station Camp Boulevard.

For today’s buyer or renter, the most important distinction is that Carellton should be researched primarily as an established neighborhood and resale market rather than assumed to be a new-home community. Davidson Homes’ current community page says Carellton is sold out and directs attention to the final model-home offering, although availability can change and individual resale listings must be checked separately.

Where Carellton is located

Carellton is associated with the northern and northeastern growth area of Gallatin near Long Hollow Pike, Big Station Camp Boulevard and Station Camp Creek. A City of Gallatin staff report for Carellton Phase 7A identifies the phase as west of Carellton Drive and east of Station Camp Creek, with streets and open-space lots recorded as part of the subdivision process.

The surrounding area includes access to Long Hollow Pike and the broader Station Camp corridor. Long Hollow Golf Course, a City of Gallatin facility, is located at 1080 Long Hollow Pike and offers an 18-hole course, driving range and putting green.

Travel times should be tested from the specific home rather than copied from a listing or builder advertisement. Traffic, school schedules, construction and the chosen route can materially change the experience. For a relocation decision, drive the route during the morning and afternoon periods when possible.

Homes and current buying options

Carellton’s new-home phase appears to have moved into resale-oriented research. Davidson Homes’ current page describes the community as completely sold out and lists a community clubhouse and junior Olympic swimming pool among its features. That does not establish the number, price or condition of homes currently available for resale.

A buyer comparing Carellton homes should evaluate more than the list price:

The City of Gallatin’s planning and GIS resources can help readers investigate zoning, flood areas, utility-service layers and development records, but an online map should not replace a title search, survey or professional inspection. The city’s planning department provides zoning and development guidance within the city and surrounding planning region.

For renters, the key questions are different. Ask whether the lease permits all intended occupants, pets, home businesses, parking arrangements and use of community amenities. Confirm who pays HOA-related charges and whether amenity access is included in the lease. Do not assume that a home’s inclusion in Carellton automatically gives a tenant the same access as an owner.

Amenities, HOA questions and community life

Carellton’s builder and community materials describe a shared amenity package centered on a clubhouse and swimming pool, with fitness facilities, a playground and walking trails or other outdoor common areas.

The available Carellton homeowners handbook provides rules for the clubhouse, fitness center, pool deck and bathhouse. It states that the bathhouse is for homeowners and guests participating in outdoor activities, requires residents to remain with guests in certain amenity areas, and prohibits pets in the clubhouse and amenities grounds. That document is dated July 2021, so readers should treat it as historical community guidance until the current HOA confirms that the rules remain in effect.

A 2025 post from Ghertner & Company identified Carellton HOA community programming, including an Easter egg hunt and golf-cart parade, and directed residents to a Ghertner portal for community-association information. This supports the existence of recent community programming but does not, by itself, establish the HOA’s current management contract, event schedule or resident eligibility rules.

Before buying or signing a lease, request:

  1. The current declaration, bylaws, rules and architectural guidelines.
  2. The latest HOA budget, dues schedule and reserve information.
  3. Any pending or recent special assessments.
  4. Current pool and clubhouse rules, including seasonal hours.
  5. Amenity-access requirements for owners, tenants and guests.
  6. Architectural-review procedures for fences, sheds, pools, exterior paint, landscaping and other changes.
  7. The current management-company contact and emergency-maintenance process.

These details matter because private HOA rules can affect a property’s practical use even when city zoning would otherwise allow an activity.

Schools and student assignment research

Davidson Homes’ current Carellton page lists Liberty Creek Elementary School, Liberty Creek Middle School and Liberty Creek High School. School assignments can change with attendance-zone adjustments, new schools, capacity decisions or address-specific boundaries, so this information should be treated as builder-provided guidance rather than a permanent designation.

Sumner County Schools provides official tools for locating school zones and bus routes. The district’s central office is at 695 East Main Street in Gallatin, and the district directs families to its school-zone and transportation resources.

For any home under consideration, use the district’s current locator with the complete street address and ask the district to clarify any result that appears uncertain. Also confirm enrollment timing, transportation eligibility, transfer policies and before- or after-school programs directly with the school system.

Utilities, roads, zoning and public services

Carellton research can involve both public agencies and private community responsibilities. Gallatin’s planning department handles city planning, zoning and development-review questions, while the City’s building-code department handles construction permits and inspections within Gallatin city limits.

City documents also describe public-service arrangements for annexed areas, including utility, refuse-collection and roadway responsibilities, and refer to certain Carellton phases in that context. The same report says customers must contact Public Works to activate refuse service and identifies a monthly residential refuse fee for the annexed areas described in the report. Because the document refers to particular annexed areas and phases, buyers should confirm service and rates for the exact parcel rather than generalize across the subdivision.

How Carellton compares with other Gallatin housing options

Carellton may suit readers who want an established planned neighborhood with shared amenities and a suburban setting near the Station Camp and Long Hollow corridors. It may be less suitable for someone who specifically wants a new-construction warranty, a large private lot, no HOA restrictions or a home outside a planned-community environment.

A useful comparison should examine the same dimensions across neighborhoods:

Dimension — Questions to ask about Carellton or another community

Housing — Are homes resale, new construction, rental, or a mix?

Ownership costs — What are taxes, insurance, HOA dues and likely maintenance costs?

Restrictions — Are there rules for rentals, pets, parking, fences, exterior changes or home businesses?

Amenities — Are amenities included, open seasonally, privately maintained or subject to extra fees?

Schools — What is the current address-specific assignment and transportation plan?

Services — Who maintains the street, stormwater system, landscaping, sidewalks and common areas?

Location — How practical are trips to work, schools, shopping, recreation and downtown Gallatin?

Carellton homebuyer and renter checklist

Before making a decision, save copies of the following:

Do not rely on a listing’s statement that amenities, school assignments, services or restrictions are “included” without requesting the governing document or official confirmation behind the statement.

Final takeaway

Carellton is best researched as an established Gallatin subdivision with shared amenities and a resale-focused housing market. Current builder information describes the community as sold out, while city records show continued documentation of its phases and public infrastructure. The practical next step is to evaluate a specific address: verify the HOA package, school assignment, taxes, utilities, public-maintenance responsibilities, insurance and property condition before comparing it with other Gallatin neighborhoods.

MyGallatin will update this guide as official city, school, builder or community-association information changes.
