In White House, Tennessee—a city rooted in hospitality—Sage North Luxury Living is proving that apartment living can feel a whole lot like home.
At Sage North, community isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a lived experience.
From their Annual Friendsgiving celebration to themed karaoke nights and parade floats, Sage North has built something special: a place where neighbors truly become friends.
“Annual Friendsgiving is one of our favorite events,” shares Community Manager Jennifer Defrancesco. “We really love having these events and put a lot of attention into the details with decorations to make sure it’s something everyone will enjoy—creating a vibe or experience where they can meet their neighbors.”
This past year’s Friendsgiving was catered by local favorite Meat Sweats, bringing residents together over incredible food. A local saxophonist set the mood for the evening—until a resident spontaneously joined in, harmonica in hand, creating a moment no one expected but everyone loved.
“We get to bond over food and the community we’re all a part of,” said Tristen W. Smythe of Sage North.
Music has become a signature element of Sage North gatherings. From guitarists and singers to saxophonists and karaoke nights, live music “sprinkles the atmosphere,” helping turn events into experiences.
“We don’t just host events,” says Tristen. “We build community. From pool parties to movie nights and food trucks to trivia karaoke, we make it easy to meet your neighbors and feel at home.”
Sage North is known for thinking outside the box.
For Halloween, “The Haunting of Sage North” transformed the clubhouse into a full-scale haunted mansion. The storyline? The beloved maintenance man, Dewey, had mysteriously gone missing. Residents had to uncover what happened. (Yes, there was even a backstory video shared to kick off the night.)
When White House hosted “Deck the Decades,” Sage North rolled through the parade route with a 1960s diner-themed float—complete with pink décor, poodle skirts, and plenty of bubbly smiles.
And who could forget the “Boom Box Shuffle” ‘80s Karaoke Night? Residents showed up in full ‘80s outfits, belting out throwback hits and reminiscing together.
“That’s what our events do,” says Jennifer. “They create the community we hoped for at the start.”
“It’s really neat to see the progression of residents meeting at an event and then, a couple of events later, arriving together,” Jennifer adds. “Our events are huge. We are known for them through the larger White House community.”
From a Hoedown catered by Meat Sweats (complete with homemade desserts from a resident baker) to Cinco de Mayo with White House staple De La Paz and Trivia Night catered by Tavern 76, Sage North intentionally partners with local businesses—further weaving itself into the fabric of the city.
“White House as a city was based on hospitality. We are collectively a community, not just Sage North itself. Living here gives you access to that,” says Tristen.
“These events make us a community and not a complex.”
The thoughtfully designed clubhouse and gathering spaces make it easy to host a variety of experiences. “Every square foot of Sage North is meant to be a place where you can feel welcome,” says Tristen. “If you’re bored at Sage North, it’s completely your fault.”
Jennifer adds, “We love hosting our events and keeping a good variety, so you find something you love. The biggest goal is enjoying the spaces you live in and creating those relationships with your neighbors.”
At Sage North, luxury living isn’t just about beautiful spaces—it’s about belonging.
