What Crieve Hall Is Like

The name comes from Herbert Farrell, who bought the historic Travellers Rest property in 1920 and named his estate Crieve Hall after his family's home in Northern Ireland. After his death in 1947, the land was sold and subdivided, and most of the neighborhood's homes were built in the years that followed. Many have been updated with new kitchens and painted brick while keeping original hardwood floors.

Crieve Hall feels tucked away, but it sits close to I-65, Brentwood, and the shopping along Nolensville Pike. Ellington Agricultural Center, with walking trails and gardens, is next door, and Travellers Rest Historic House Museum is nearby. The Edmondson Pike library branch is a short drive away.
