Brentwood New Construction Homes

LUXURY NEW BUILDS IN TENNESSEE’S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER CITY

Why Brentwood Keeps Attracting New Construction Buyers

Brentwood, Tennessee is experiencing a sustained wave of luxury new construction that shows no signs of slowing down. Over the past 12 months, 116 newly built homes have closed in zip code 37027, with 63 more currently on the market and another 37 under contract. That level of activity makes Brentwood one of the most active luxury new construction markets in the entire Nashville metro.

What’s driving it? The same things that have always made Brentwood special: top-rated Williamson County Schools, proximity to Nashville, large lot sizes, and a tax-friendly Tennessee environment with no state income tax. But the recent surge is also fueled by an influx of out-of-state buyers from California, New York, and Chicago who are discovering they can build a custom estate home here for a fraction of what they’d pay back home.

The new construction landscape in Brentwood spans a wide range. You’ll find everything from townhome-style builds starting near $300,000 on the Davidson County side to sprawling custom estates exceeding $8 million in gated Williamson County communities. The median sale price for new construction over the past year sits at $3,017,417, reflecting the heavy concentration of luxury builds in communities like Rosebrooke, Raintree Reserve, Primm Farm, and Witherspoon.

Where New Homes Are Being Built in Brentwood

Brentwood straddles two counties, and that matters for new construction buyers. About 77% of recent new home sales have been in Williamson County, where you get access to Williamson County Schools and typically larger lot sizes. The remaining 23% are on the Davidson County side, where prices tend to be lower and school zoning falls under Metro Nashville Public Schools.

Here’s a look at the most active new construction communities and what each one offers.

Rosebrooke is the clear leader in new construction activity, with 20 closed sales and 15 active listings. This Williamson County community features custom builds by Ford Classic Homes, Insignia Homes, Aspen Construction, Legend Homes, Sipple Homes, and Schumacher Homes. Sale prices have ranged from $3.0 million to $6.3 million, with a median of $4.0 million. Rosebrooke hosted several 2025 Parade of Homes entries, which gives you a sense of the caliber of construction happening here.

Raintree Reserve has seen 12 closings over the past year, primarily built by Turnberry Homes and Aspen Construction. Located in Williamson County near the established Raintree Forest neighborhood, these homes range from $2.0 million to $3.4 million on lots averaging half an acre. Turnberry’s award-winning floor plans and the community’s wooded setting make it a strong option for buyers who want new construction without sacrificing mature landscaping.

Primm Farm is another hot spot with 12 sales. This intimate community of just 24 homesites offers builds by Artisan Custom Homes, Turnberry Homes, and other custom builders. Prices have ranged from $2.4 million to $6.2 million, and the neighborhood is zoned for Ravenwood High School, one of the highest-rated high schools in the state. If you’re weighing Rosebrooke against Primm Farm, see the detailed community comparison here.

Callie is a hamlet-style luxury development by Grove Park Construction on the Davidson County side of Brentwood. Seven homes have closed between $1.9 million and $2.6 million. The community sits close to Green Hills, downtown Nashville, and downtown Franklin, offering a different kind of Brentwood lifestyle for buyers who prioritize proximity to urban amenities.

Autumn View provides the most accessible price point in Brentwood new construction. Built by Regent Homes, these homes have sold between $500,000 and $630,000. Located on the Davidson County side, this community offers a rare entry point into a Brentwood address with brand-new builds.

Telluride Manors has recorded six sales ranging from $2.1 million to $2.8 million in Williamson County. The newest phases of this community continue to attract buyers looking for spacious floor plans on generous lots.

Pasadena is an established luxury community in Williamson County where new construction fills in among existing homes. Four new builds have closed between $1.6 million and $1.8 million, offering a relatively moderate entry point for Brentwood luxury.

Echo is a gated enclave in Hidden Valley where three sales have ranged from $2.2 million to $4.9 million. Custom builders including Idlewild Custom Construction work with buyers on bespoke designs in this exclusive Williamson County setting.

Witherspoon represents the top of the market, with three sales including one that closed at $8.5 million. This gated Williamson County community continues to attract ultra-luxury custom builds.

Other communities with active new construction include Calistoga (Turnberry Homes on 1-acre lots), Avery, Arcadia and Arcadia Estates (Drees Homes and Castlerock Builders), Eastman’s Preserve, Tiburon, Shadow Springs, Saidee, Anna, and Brenthaven.

What You Need to Know About County Lines

One of the most important details about buying new construction in Brentwood is understanding the county line. Brentwood spans both Williamson County and Davidson County, and the difference affects your school zoning, property taxes, and future resale value.

Williamson County side (90 of 116 recent sales): Homes here are zoned for Williamson County Schools, which are consistently ranked among the top districts in Tennessee. The most common school assignments for new construction include Crockett Elementary, Jordan Elementary, Lipscomb Elementary, Sunset Middle, Woodland Middle, Brentwood Middle, Ravenwood High, and Brentwood High. The median new construction sale price on the Williamson County side is $3,427,934.

Davidson County side (26 of 116 recent sales): These homes fall under Metro Nashville Public Schools, with common assignments including Granbery Elementary, Henry C. Maxwell Elementary, Oliver Middle, and Overton High School. Some Davidson County new builds offer optional school options through MNPS magnet programs. The median sale price on this side is $1,875,000, reflecting a mix of luxury builds and more moderately priced options.

Always verify the specific school zoning for any new construction lot, as boundary lines can sometimes split a single community between counties.

Do I need my own agent when buying new construction in Brentwood?

Yes, and it’s critical. Builder sales agents represent the builder’s interests, not yours. An independent buyer’s agent helps you evaluate pricing against comparable sales, negotiate upgrades and incentives, review contracts, and monitor construction quality. Compass agents were involved in 46.6% of all Brentwood new construction transactions last year, which means we understand builder pricing, lot premiums, and what concessions are realistic to negotiate.

How long does it take to build a new home in Brentwood?

Custom builds in Brentwood typically take 10 to 18 months from contract to completion, depending on the builder, lot conditions, and design complexity. Some communities offer move-in-ready inventory homes, while others require pre-sale contracts with extended construction timelines. The median days on market for recently closed new construction is 21 days, but that number includes spec homes that were largely complete when listed.

What exactly is a custom home, and how is it different from other new construction?

A custom home is a residence designed and built from the ground up for a specific buyer. Every decision, from the floor plan and architectural style to the foundation type, ceiling heights, materials, finishes, and mechanical systems, is made by the homeowner in collaboration with their architect and builder. This stands in contrast to spec homes (built by a builder before a buyer is identified, with standardized designs intended to appeal broadly) and semi-custom homes (where buyers select from a builder’s existing library of floor plans and then personalize finishes, fixtures, and limited layout modifications). In Brentwood, true custom builds are common in communities like Primm Farm, Rosebrooke, Brenthaven, and Witherspoon, where buyers purchase a lot and engage a builder like Artisan Custom Homes, Ford Classic Homes, or Insignia Homes to construct a one-of-a-kind residence. The custom process typically involves five phases: conceptual design, schematic drawings, design development with material selections, construction documents with engineering, and then construction administration where the architect and builder execute the plans. Custom homes in Brentwood’s luxury communities generally range from $350 to $600-plus per square foot for construction alone, not including land.

Should I buy a lot and hire my own custom builder, or purchase an already-built custom home in Brentwood?

Both paths have real advantages, and the right choice depends on your timeline, tolerance for decision-making, and how specific your vision is. Buying a lot and building gives you complete control over every detail, from how the home sits on the land to window placement, ceiling heights, and the exact kitchen layout you want. You also get brand-new systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing) with full manufacturer warranties. The tradeoff is time. A custom build in Brentwood typically takes 10 to 18 months from contract to move-in, and that doesn’t include the design phase, which can add another 3 to 6 months. Purchasing an existing custom home gets you into the house faster, lets you see and feel the finished product before committing, and often places you in established landscaping with mature trees. Many recently completed custom homes in communities like Rosebrooke, Raintree Reserve, and Primm Farm were built with high-end finishes that would be difficult and expensive to replicate today given rising material and labor costs. Patrick Higgins can walk you through both scenarios with actual cost comparisons for specific communities.

What does it cost to buy a lot and build a custom home in Brentwood compared to buying one already built?

The total cost of buying a lot and building custom in Brentwood depends heavily on the community and your finish level. Lot prices in premium Williamson County communities range from $400,000 to over $1.5 million. Construction costs for luxury custom homes currently run $350 to $600-plus per square foot in Brentwood, meaning a 4,500-square-foot custom build could total $1.575 million to $2.7 million for construction alone, plus the lot. You’ll also need to budget for architectural and engineering fees (typically 8% to 15% of construction costs), site preparation, landscaping, and a construction loan that converts to a permanent mortgage at completion. By comparison, purchasing an already-built custom home in the same community eliminates the lot-plus-build math and gives you a single purchase price that’s often financeable with a conventional mortgage. Over the past 12 months, completed custom homes in Brentwood’s Williamson County communities have sold at a median of $3,427,934. In some cases, buying an existing custom home can actually be less expensive than replicating the same home today, because the original owner locked in material and labor costs at a lower price point.

What are the risks of building a custom home versus buying an existing one in Brentwood?

Building custom carries risks that buying an existing home does not. Construction timelines can slip due to weather, permitting delays, material backorders, or subcontractor scheduling issues. Cost overruns are common, particularly when allowances for finishes end up being lower than actual selections. You’re also carrying a construction loan during the build period, which typically has a higher interest rate than a conventional mortgage, and you may be paying for your current housing at the same time. There’s also the risk of over-customizing with features so specific to your taste that future resale appeal is limited. On the flip side, buying an existing custom home carries its own risks. You’re inheriting someone else’s design decisions, and modifying structural elements (moving walls, changing ceiling heights, reconfiguring plumbing) after the fact is significantly more expensive than building them right the first time. You may also discover deferred maintenance or construction defects that weren’t apparent during the showing. This is why having an experienced agent who knows Brentwood’s builders and their construction quality is essential on either path.

How do I choose a custom home builder in Brentwood?

Start by visiting completed homes, not just model homes. Any builder can stage a showpiece, but walking through homes that have been lived in for a year or two tells you how the construction holds up. Ask for references from homeowners who moved in at least 12 months ago and specifically ask about the builder’s communication, change-order process, warranty responsiveness, and whether the final cost matched the original contract. In Brentwood, most luxury communities have approved builder lists, so your lot selection may determine your builder options. Communities like Rosebrooke work primarily with Ford Classic Homes and Insignia Homes, while Primm Farm includes Artisan Custom Homes, Turnberry Homes, and Drees Homes. Check each builder’s licensing, insurance, and standing with the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors. Patrick Higgins has worked with every major builder active in Brentwood and can provide candid assessments of construction quality, pricing transparency, and client satisfaction for each.

Do I need a real estate agent if I’m buying a lot and hiring my own builder in Brentwood?

Absolutely. Having your own agent when purchasing a lot is just as important as having one when buying a finished home. Lot prices in Brentwood’s luxury communities vary significantly based on factors that aren’t always obvious: topography, tree coverage, orientation, setback requirements, drainage easements, and proximity to community amenities or road noise. An experienced agent can tell you whether a lot is priced fairly compared to recent lot sales in the same community, flag potential site preparation costs that could add $50,000 to $200,000 to your project, and help you negotiate the purchase. Once you move into the building phase, your agent serves as an independent advocate during contract negotiations with the builder, reviews construction agreements, and helps ensure the finished product aligns with what comparable homes are selling for in the community. In Brentwood, where Compass agents were involved in 46.6% of all new construction transactions over the past year, the Nashville Home Guru team brings builder-specific negotiation experience that can save you significantly on lot premiums, upgrades, and contract terms.
