The town of Pleasant View is located approximately 20 minutes from Nashville to the South, and Clarksville to the Northwest. There is no major industry in the immediate area, therefore making this town a suburb of these larger cities with regards to it’s economy.
 The proposed Sweet Oaks Development project is approximately 30 acres of undeveloped land with over 600 ft of frontage along U.S. Hwy. 41-A.
The preliminary layout
suggest that approximately 100 residential units, (half
detached single family units and
half townhome units) could be
placed on this site along with over
60,000  Zoning was approved for change to MPUD from AG. According to the Town of Pleasant View City Planning Commission meeting minutes for October 30, 2007, the owners of record requested this change and received approval. Initial Comments I have attached various statistical data within this document that gives a basic profile of this community. General speaking, this community seems to be overwhelmingly white non-Hispanic working-class. It is likely that many of the residents work in one of the nearby major cities and commute daily. It is likely that the potential client base is either retired or working professional, both being dissatisfied with “big city” life. In either case, it would be best suited for white non-Hispanics due to the lack of social and racial diversity. This town is located within Cheatham County, which is 96% white American and 61% voting Republican according to the 2000 Census Tracts. Town of Pleasant View Self Proclamation The Town of Pleasant View incorporated in 1996 out of a rural agricultural setting that for generations served as the midway point between Nashville, Clarksville, and Springfield. Located at the crossroads of Highways 41A and Highway 49 and Exit 24 on Interstate 24, residents are only minutes from entertainment, sports, supplies or services. Pleasant View continues to bring additional businesses and services each year that keeps residents close to home since most people never want to leave. The Town offers top quality education for their children in the Cheatham County School system in a safe, caring environment. The Pleasant View Elementary School has consistently been rated as one of the top schools in the State of Tennessee while Sycamore High School has one of the lowest dropout rates. It’s a great education and investment that spells success for a lifetime for our children. The Town continues to respond to the growth with additional policemen and to ensure the safe, country quality lifestyle continues as we grow with additional residents and businesses that call love to call Pleasant View home. The Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department is one of the best in the country that through work and planning has one of the best response times and recently lowered the City’s ISO rating to a 5 for residents to save on insurance premiums. Pleasant View was the first in the state to mandate fire sprinklers in all newly constructed homes and businesses. It’s a vision that steps up the safety level for generations to come. Pleasant View.... A Pleasant Place to Live, Work, Play and Grow! Pleasant View Community Park Construction has started on the towns newest park which is being developed on land adjacent to the subject property. 
The Park property finally has a name! The decision for the new name was taken from suggestions that were made at the July Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department Picnic and Parade. Several suggestions were made, but it was finally decided to name the park The Pleasant View Community Park. The 32 acres will include four tennis courts, two combination soccer/football fields, two combination youth soccer fields, two sand volleyball courts, twelve horseshoe pits and two baseball fields. The park will also have three pavilions.

Resident and Visitor Comments Testimonials 1. My wife and I have been concentrating our research on homes near White House, Mt. Juliet and Hendersonville...I've recently run across references to Pleasant View...looks to be about the same distance from Nashville as White House...what kind of place is it? Is there a town center, or is it more a collection of properties/farms? Thanks! 2. Pleasant View is a community near the intersection of Highway 49 and 41-A (and is also near I-24). There is an area that's more "concentrated", but it's not really a town (not even like Mayberry). It's still mostly rural, but even it has started to be developed. Twenty or thirty years ago it was almost totally farm land except for the property along 41-A. There's a few stores around, but most people go into Clarksville, Springfield, or Nashville for their shopping. It's mostly rolling hills covered in woods, or open fields, with a few subdivisions built in the past few years. It is relatively convenient to Nashville. Does that help? I have a young lady whom I've very fond of who lives in the area (my pretend granddaughter). I grew up about 10 miles west of Pleasant View in east Montgomery County. 3. I don't know if I can really help you as I don't live in Tennessee but our family just got back from a week long trip there where we stayed in Pleasant View for 5 days and Franklin for 2 days. We visited Franklin 2 summers ago and fell in love with it and were sure that is where we wanted to move. But we had friends who moved up to Pleasant View from Nashville last fall and are trying to convince us to move there. I am not sure if Pleasant View has a town center but it is not just farms run together. There does look to be a very small downtown with a few shops. Our friends live in a subdivision called Harris Farms Estates that has condos, starter homes, middle sized homes and very nice custom homes. I think their website is Harrisfarmscommunities.com There were two other neighborhoods that were very nice called Town Pride and Ridge Crest. Pleasant View is very small with a population less than 4000 and as far as I could tell there was only a Wendy's, Subway and Sonic too eat at. There was a small grocery store but our friends told us they only go there when they absolutely need something because it is more expensive. There is a Wal-mart supercenter about 15 minutes away in Ashland City. Springfield is about 20-25 minutes away and has more grocery stores, places to eat, and a YMCA. Then Clarksville and Nashville are both 25 minutes away. My husband and I are still deciding between Franklin and Pleasant View although we are leaning toward Pleasant View as it is very beautiful and way less crowded. The housing is also so much less expensive than Franklin. Most people that we talked to definitely feel that it is an up and coming area. There are so many beautiful outdoors things to do up by Pleasant View including a hike by the Narrows of the Harpeth. The only thing is the amenities being a small drive. 4. if you can drive in LA traffic, trust me anywhere in the state of Tennessee will be a treat for you to drive through. When I moved here from NY my Realtor told me that the traffic in Hendersonville to Nashville was awfull!!!! Was she crazy? I guess she never drove from 42nd street to 59th street!! That could sometimes take an hour. Everything is relative. 5. Boy, if it is any consolation, I was in a similar in 1998 when I moved to Pleasant View from Sarasota, FL. I spent almost one year trying to decide while I looked at every reasonable building lot and development in Williamson and Cheatham counties. You should realize that the town of PV is different than the PO coverage for PV. PV PO coverage actually extends into Robertson County. All of PV is very nice and a much, much, much better bang for your buck. I understand the appeal of older neighborhoods but at what cost. I was one of the first people that moved into a development called Town Pride in PV. In the time I've lived here he look and feel has changed from a development with one or two houses off the main drag to one which I would match side-by-side to most of the newer developments in both Franklin and Brentwood. The commute from any direction into Nashville is horrible as the Department of Transportation would rather repave every road every three years than develop alternative means of getting into town. However, even that is changing with rail planned for the future. For the most part eduction in TN sucks; however the schools in Brentwood and Franklin are probably better. But the schools in PV are nothing to laugh at... especially - the elementary school and you don't have nearly the problems that any of the southern suburbs have with drugs, etc. You can't argue with your comments about large grocery stores, etc. However, once you get to know the back roads, the malls are closer than you would think. And you'll save so much more money moving up here that you have much more to spend on trips to town. One thing that no one has mentioned - the air is a lot cleaner up here - as you come NW out of Nashville you actually come up three plateaus - out of the basin of pollution in town. I would welcome any specific questions. 6. I too am doing some research on different locations around Nashville and hope to relocate there in the coming years. From what I can find on city-data.com the crime index in 2003 was 139 and in 2004 was 145. Both of these scores are well below the US average of 321 (higher score = more crime). Pretty much every other city I looked up around Nashville had scores in the 400's or above. It seems that Pleasant View is the best choice. 7. My husband and I recently bought 7 acres in Pleasant view. We went for a visit (after he had already gone to look at the land we went back together) and we both fell in love with the place. We both come from small towns and are longing to get back to that feeling. We like that Pleasant View has things like banks, grocery stores etc. but that we're a good 25-30 min from the bigger cities. We drove around a bit and the drive from Nashville as well as some of the other surrounding cities with more amenities were not bad at all. Traffic was a breeze (especially compared to what we deal with right now). As far as safety etc....the guy we bought our land from doesn't know where the key is for his house because it's never locked and leaves the keys in his car outside over night. Obviously as the area grows, with more people there's more potential for crime, but I don't think it will ever be a booming metropolis with a big crime problem. 8. The attachment to the above post is a picture overlooking our pond and the airstrip (we bought in a fly in community). I love the fall colors and can't wait to get building! 9. I've lived in Pleasant View for almost 3 years. It is by far the easiest commute into Nashville (should you be working there). It's close enough that you can go into the city without making it a whole-day trip, but far enough away that you don't even know it exists if you don't want to. Nice, quite, and peaceful. I seldom lock the house up unless I'm going out of town for a few days. Sleep with the windows open when the weather is nice, too. No worries. | |||||||||||||||||
