Discover the essence of privacy and tranquility of the top gated communities in Clarksville, where residents enjoy an unparalleled sense of belonging.

Madison Summit

Madison Summit comprises just over 60 custom detached homes in an intimate community located on a quiet loop just off Alternate US Route 41 in eastern Clarksville. The community—which is located in the Ashland Hills neighborhood—has an idyllic feel with extensive greenery while also being located only a minute or two by car from several commercial areas. 

These areas include supermarkets, convenience stores, chain and local restaurants, and the many attractions of The City Forum (like bowling, go-karts, mini golf, and more.) Rotary Park is also just down the road, providing miles of hiking trails, a disc golf course, a nature center, and plenty of green space for picnicking or relaxing. In addition, it's a convenient location for young students, just around the corner from Clarksville High School and Richview Middle School.

Homes in Madison Summit generally include four or five bedrooms and three bathrooms, spread over 2,000 to more than 3,000 square feet of living space. These homes start in the low $400s but can reach the high $600s for the most spacious and finely finished properties. Inside, they offer gorgeous layouts with vaulted ceilings, hardwood and tile floors, and efficient, green building materials. Owners also enjoy spacious master bathroom suites, gas fireplaces, and two-car garages with ample storage. Those looking for lots to build their custom dream home will find a limited number available for around $75,000. 

Monticello

One of the town's smaller gated communities, Monticello is made up of around 30 high-end homes nestled deep within a residential part of northern Clarksville. This smaller size helps foster a sense of community and encourages owners to get to know their neighbors, including at the outdoor community swimming pool. It's a good choice for park lovers, with Civitan Park and its extensive sports facilities and amenities around the corner. Residents are also only a few minutes from Interstate 24, making drives into Nashville or other parts of the region fast and easy. In addition, extensive shopping and other services are nearby on US Route 79/Wilma Rudolph Boulevard, particularly in the St. Bethlehem area.  

Homes in Monticello date back to the early 2000s, though many have been updated in recent years. They typically include three or four bedrooms and two to three bathrooms, with home sizes ranging from the 1,700 square foot range to more than double that size. Many back directly onto a small wooded area, providing extra privacy for owners. Interiors include a variety of custom high-end finishes, along with desirable layouts with walk-in closets and bonus rooms. Monticello properties start in the mid-$300s but can regularly reach the mid-$400s.

The Veridian

Set just outside the official Clarksville limits in unincorporated Sango, The Veridian is conveniently located between Alternate US Route 41 and Interstate 24. This location means owners in The Veridian aren't responsible for city taxes, a notable financial savings. As one of the closest Clarksville-area communities to the massive economy in Nashville, residents who commute regularly save valuable time each day. 

Meanwhile, downtown Clarksville's amenities are still around 10 miles away. In addition, the neighborhood is just minutes from convenient daily shopping and a variety of dining choices along State Route 76/MLK Jr. Parkway. Homebuyers interested in Clarksville’s schools will also appreciate that The Veridian is just across the street from Sango Elementary School. 

The roughly two dozen single-household detached homes that make up The Veridian are either new construction homes or a year or two old at most, ensuring buyers have the most updated styles in properties built to cutting-edge efficiency standards. Layouts range from three-bedroom, two-bathrooms around 2,000 square feet to four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath options over 2,500 square feet. These properties feel even larger inside, with open designs, high ceilings, and bonus/storage rooms. Nearly every home enjoys additional privacy from distant or no rear neighbors. Properties generally sell in a tight range from the mid- to high $400s, with the occasional larger property priced as high as the low $600s. 

Peartree

Just off Memorial Drive, the roughly three dozen homes of Peartree provide a unique layout and look among Clarksville gated communities, with garages accessible via rear alleys rather than front driveways, creating attractive streetscapes and additional privacy at the same time. The rear of homes also typically include compact fenced garden spaces, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or a cookout in the evening. 

Residents also have access to a well-kept private community green space just steps from their front doors, complete with shade-providing mature landscaping. Golfers will love their location right next door to Clarksville Country Club, with The River Club Golf & Learning Center just a few minutes down the road. Plentiful shopping and dining options, along with local services, are also close by on Alternate US Route 41/Madison Street, including big box stores, supermarkets, national chains, and local spots. 

Homes in Peartree typically list from the mid-$400s to the high $600s, depending on the varying layouts. These range from cozy three-bedrooms with just over 2,000 square feet to sprawling five-bedrooms with more than 4,700. Hardwood flooring, granite countertops, expansive master suites, and other touches make any owner feel right at home. 

Roanoke

The small gated community of Roanoke sits just off Warfield Boulevard near Clarksville's eastern edge. Residents have just about everything that Clarksville offers close to their development, from the all-ages fun of The Pinnacle Family Entertainment Center to the shopping opportunities at the Governor’s Square Mall. The nearby Austin Square Shopping Center is also a local favorite, with a mix of big box stores, popular chains for all budgets, and various dining options from fast food to sit-down. The neighborhood offers outdoor excursions at Dunbar Cave State Park, known for its historic namesake cake, as well as some of Clarksville's best hiking and fishing opportunities.

Homes in Roanoke typically include four or five bedrooms and are among the more spacious options in town, with 2,800-plus square feet. Most back directly onto preserved woodland for extra privacy. They sell from the mid-$400s to the high $600s. A limited share of Montgomery County’s vacant land is also available from around $50,000 for those who want to put their personal touches on a new construction home.
