New Construction Homes in Mount Juliet TN

WILSON COUNTY’S FASTEST-GROWING NEW HOME MARKET

Why Mount Juliet Is Where Builders Are Building

Mount Juliet sits at one of the most strategically useful intersections in Middle Tennessee. You get I-40 access heading west into Nashville (about 25 minutes to downtown) or east toward Lebanon and Cookeville, plus a growing retail corridor at Providence that includes Costco, Target, and dozens of restaurants and shops. That combination of highway convenience, lower land costs than Williamson County, and Wilson County’s strong school system has made Mount Juliet the most active new construction market in the Nashville metro right now.

In the rolling 12-month period tracked in this analysis, 447 new homes closed in Mount Juliet, covering everything from townhomes starting in the mid-$300s to luxury custom homes above $1.8 million. That volume is not a fluke. Builders including Beazer, Toll Brothers, Meritage, Richmond American, Drees, Lennar, and Ashton Nashville all have active communities here, with more phases regularly coming online.

The location math works for buyers relocating from higher-cost markets. A 2,500-square-foot home in Mount Juliet costs substantially less than a comparable home in Brentwood or Franklin, you get Wilson County Schools rated among the best in Tennessee, and you have Percy Priest Lake within minutes for weekend recreation. For families and remote workers who do not need to commute daily, Mount Juliet consistently ranks as one of the highest-value new construction markets in the Southeast.

The Builders and What They Offer

Mount Juliet’s new construction market is dominated by a handful of national and regional builders, each with distinct products, price points, and community amenities. Understanding who builds what is the first step in finding the right fit.

Beazer Homes is the most active builder in this market by volume, with 173 closed sales in the past 12 months spanning communities including Waverly, Waterford Park, and The Oaks. Beazer’s Mount Juliet offerings range from approximately $409,000 to $880,000 for single-family homes, with a median around $650,000. Their communities typically include pools, playgrounds, and walking trails with HOA dues around $50 to $90 per month. Beazer’s energy-efficiency program is a consistent selling point, and they routinely include refrigerators, washer/dryers, and full sod packages in base pricing.

Toll Brothers operates Tomlinson Pointe, the highest-priced active community in this dataset, with closed sales ranging from $676,000 to $948,000 and a median of $845,000. Toll Brothers targets the move-up and luxury buyer, offering larger floor plans (2,600 to over 3,800 square feet), three-car garage options, gourmet kitchen packages, and designer finish selections. Their on-site design studio allows buyers to customize extensively. Tomlinson Pointe features a pool, playground, sidewalks, and walking trail.

Meritage Homes covers the mid-range market through Waltons Grove, with closed prices between $470,000 and $639,000 and a median near $578,000. Meritage is known for standard energy-efficient construction including spray foam insulation, Energy Star appliances, and fresh-air filtration systems. Their Waltons Grove community includes a pool, cabana, and playground, and many homes include refrigerators, washer/dryers, and blinds in the base price.

Richmond American Homes brings 33 closed sales through Catelonia, a boutique 46-home community priced from $600,000 to $800,000 with a median around $670,000. Richmond American competes aggressively on included features, currently offering GE Cafe appliances and buyer incentives. Catelonia is nearly sold out, making it a time-sensitive opportunity for buyers who want that specific product.

Drees Homes operates Ashton Park with 24 closed sales ranging from $500,000 to $870,000, median $658,000. Drees is a regional builder with a strong reputation for quality construction and flexible floor plans. Their Mount Juliet homes typically include upscale kitchens and generous primary suites as standard features.

Lennar covers the more affordable end of the single-family market through Greenhill Estates, with 18 closed sales from $487,000 to $706,000 and a median near $605,000. Lennar’s Everything’s Included program bundles upgrades that other builders charge extra for, which simplifies the buying process.

Beazer Homes also builds Windtree Townhomes, the primary townhome community in this dataset, with 23 closed sales between $394,000 and $477,000, median $420,000. These are all-brick townhomes on the former Windtree Golf Club site, offering an entry point into Mount Juliet new construction with HOA dues around $275 per month covering exterior maintenance, grounds, and pool access. Lynwood Station (Ashton Nashville) provides another townhome option ranging from $355,000 to $800,000 across different product types.

Community Amenities Across Mount Juliet New Construction

Most new construction communities in Mount Juliet include resort-style amenities, and this is an area where the market has become increasingly competitive as builders try to differentiate. The standard package in communities priced from $500,000 and up typically includes a pool with cabana, playground, walking trails, underground utilities, and sodded yards.

Tomlinson Pointe offers one of the more upscale amenity packages in Wilson County, with a resort pool, sidewalk-lined streets, and an overall streetscape designed to feel more like a premium suburb than a typical subdivision. Waverly, Beazer’s largest current community in Mount Juliet, combines a pool and playground with walkable trail connections.

The Windtree Townhomes community is built on the site of the former Windtree Golf Club, which means the grounds retain mature trees and a sense of open space unusual in newer townhome developments. The clubhouse, fitness center, pool, and playground are maintained through the HOA. For buyers who want low-maintenance living without giving up community amenities, this product fills a real gap in the Wilson County market.

Waltons Grove by Meritage stands out for an unusually complete included package. Every home comes with a refrigerator, washer and dryer, and blinds throughout, which is not standard for this price range. The community also features a pool and cabana with HOA dues around $95 per month.

Proximity to Percy Priest Lake adds an outdoor recreation layer that most of these communities lack on their own. The Long Hunter State Park and Stewart Creek boat ramp are both within about 10 minutes of most Mount Juliet new construction, making this a meaningful lifestyle differentiator compared to buying new in Williamson County, where lake access requires a longer drive.

Schools Serving Mount Juliet New Construction

The vast majority of Mount Juliet new construction falls within Wilson County Schools, consistently ranked among the top school districts in Tennessee. School assignments vary by the specific street address, so always verify zoning through Wilson County Schools directly before committing to a home. The communities covered in this data feed into three high schools: Mt. Juliet High School, Wilson Central High School, and Green Hill High School.

Mt. Juliet High School serves the largest share of new construction buyers, with 193 closed homes in this dataset assigned to MJHS. Communities like Waverly, Waterford Park, and Tomlinson Pointe feed this school. Mt. Juliet High has a strong academic reputation and growing athletic programs.

Wilson Central High School serves 125 closed homes in this dataset, covering communities primarily in the northern and central portions of the 37122 zip code including Waltons Grove and Bradshaw Farms. Wilson Central has consistently strong test scores and extracurricular programs.

Green Hill High School is the newest high school in Wilson County Schools, serving 105 closed homes in this data including communities toward the southern end of Mount Juliet such as Windtree Townhomes. Green Hill opened in 2019 with modern facilities and has quickly built a strong academic reputation.

Elementary schools in the dataset include Stoner Creek Elementary (143 homes), Rutland Elementary (80), W.A. Wright Elementary (70), Gladeville Elementary (45), Mt. Juliet Elementary (28), and several others. Most communities are served by one specific elementary school, making school assignment a practical factor when choosing between communities at similar price points.

A small portion of Mount Juliet new construction sits on the Davidson County side of the city limits and feeds into Metro Nashville Public Schools, primarily McGavock Comprehensive High School. This represents about 5% of closed sales in this dataset. Confirm county and school zoning for any home you are seriously considering.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru for New Construction

The on-site sales agent at a new construction community works for the builder. Their job is to sell homes at the best price and terms for their employer, not to protect your interests. Having an independent buyer’s agent with you from the first visit costs you nothing as the buyer (the builder pays the buyer’s agent commission), and it can make a substantial difference in outcome.

Nashville Home Guru tracked 447 new construction closings in Mount Juliet over the past 12 months. That data allows us to tell you exactly how a specific home’s price compares to what the builder has been accepting, which floor plans and lots are holding value, and where builders are currently offering concessions that are not advertised on their websites. In a market with this much builder activity, that information has direct financial value.

Patrick Higgins is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and leads the #1 team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings, with 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales across Middle Tennessee. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews, the feedback from buyers across Wilson County reflects what the transaction data already shows: this team operates on volume, accuracy, and results.

Compass is the #1 residential brokerage in the United States by sales volume. After merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee. Compass and Parks agents were involved in 16.3% of all Mount Juliet transactions over the past 12 months. That network gives buyers access to inventory before it hits public listings, and gives our sellers unmatched exposure when it is time to move.

For new construction specifically, a buyer’s agent provides three things the builder’s sales office does not: an independent review of the purchase contract, knowledge of recent comparable sales to verify you are not overpaying on upgrades, and representation through the closing process when issues arise. Patrick has guided buyers through hundreds of new construction transactions in Middle Tennessee and knows which builders tend to be flexible on lot premiums, design center credits, and closing cost contributions.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy delivers measurable results. Homes pre-marketed through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Construction in Mount Juliet TN

What is the price range for new construction homes in Mount Juliet TN?
I want to know if I can actually afford to buy new here, or if I should be looking at resale.

Based on 447 closed sales over the past 12 months, new construction in Mount Juliet ranges from approximately $355,000 for townhomes up to $1.8 million for luxury custom homes. The median sale price for single-family new construction is $664,704, with an average of $713,063. Townhomes have a median of $417,494. Most buyers in the $500,000 to $750,000 range will find the widest selection of available communities and floor plans.

Which builders are currently active in Mount Juliet TN?
I want new construction, but how do I compare builders when every model home looks perfect?

The most active builders based on closed sales data are Beazer Homes (173 single-family closings), Richmond American Homes (33), Meritage Homes (32), Toll Brothers (29), Drees Homes (24), Ashton Nashville Residential (20), Lennar (18), Century Communities (11), and Pulte Homes (7). Beazer is by far the most active builder in this market and operates multiple communities including Waverly, Waterford Park, Bradshaw Farms, and Windtree.

What are HOA fees like in Mount Juliet new construction communities?
What am I actually paying for with HOA dues, and will they go up every year?

HOA fees vary by community type and amenity level. For single-family communities with a pool, playground, and trails, expect to pay roughly $40 to $120 per month. Townhome communities run higher because the HOA also covers exterior maintenance, grounds care, and sometimes insurance; Windtree Townhomes charges approximately $275 per month. Communities without a pool or clubhouse will be on the lower end of this range. Always confirm the exact HOA fee and what it covers before signing a purchase agreement.

Is Tomlinson Pointe by Toll Brothers a good value compared to other Mount Juliet communities?
I love the Toll Brothers product, but I am not sure if the premium is worth it over a Beazer or Meritage home.

Tomlinson Pointe is the highest-priced active community in this market, with a median closed price of $845,000. Toll Brothers delivers a premium product: larger floor plans, superior finish selections, a design studio experience, and a community streetscape that feels more curated than most new construction in Wilson County. Buyers who compare Tomlinson Pointe to similarly priced options in Williamson County often find the value compelling, since the Wilson County tax rate is generally lower and the commute to most Nashville employment centers is comparable. Whether it is the right choice depends on your floor plan needs, design preferences, and how you weigh lot size against interior quality.

What are the best new construction communities in Mount Juliet for families with school-age children?
My kids’ school zone is the deciding factor. How do I make sure I buy in the right one?

For families prioritizing schools, the most important step is verifying the specific school assignment for the address you are considering, since Mt. Juliet High, Wilson Central, and Green Hill High all have strong reputations and serve different geographic areas of the city. Communities in the central and northern zip code that feed into Stoner Creek Elementary and Mt. Juliet High School tend to be the most sought after among families relocating from out of state. Beazer’s Waverly, Waterford Park, and Bradshaw Farms communities all have strong school assignments and sold 139 homes collectively in the past year, which reflects sustained buyer confidence. Nashville Home Guru can pull the exact school assignment for any specific address before you schedule a showing.

What is the best way to negotiate with a new construction builder in Mount Juliet?
The builder’s sales agent says the price is the price. Is there really room to negotiate?

Builders in Mount Juliet rarely negotiate on base home prices because published prices affect the comparable sales data for their remaining inventory. What they do negotiate are lot premiums, design center credits, closing cost contributions, and rate buy-down programs. The most effective leverage point is usually a combination: accepting a quick delivery home with a specific closing date in exchange for meaningful concessions. Builders who are approaching the end of a phase or fiscal quarter are more motivated. An independent buyer’s agent who tracks builder sales velocity and incentive history can identify when and where a builder is most flexible, which is information the on-site sales office will not volunteer.

Does Nashville Home Guru charge buyers a fee to help with new construction purchases?
I do not want to pay extra just for having my own agent at the builder’s sales office.

No. When you work with Nashville Home Guru to purchase a new construction home, the builder pays the buyer’s agent commission. You get independent representation, market data, and contract review at no cost to you. The builder’s on-site agent does not represent your interests; they represent the builder. Bringing an independent agent levels the playing field at no added cost to the buyer.

How does Mount Juliet new construction compare to Franklin or Brentwood for value?
I keep going back and forth between Wilson County and Williamson County. How do I decide?

For the same budget, Mount Juliet typically delivers more square footage, newer construction, and equivalent school quality compared to Williamson County alternatives. The median new construction price in Mount Juliet sits around $665,000 for single-family homes versus $800,000 to $1 million or more for comparable new builds in Franklin. The tradeoff is that Franklin and Brentwood offer more established restaurant and retail corridors, though Mount Juliet’s Providence center has closed much of that gap in recent years. For buyers who work remotely or make only occasional trips into Nashville, the value math at Mount Juliet is hard to ignore. For buyers who need to commute daily to Williamson County employment, the drive time from Mount Juliet may be a meaningful factor.

Which Mount Juliet communities are closest to Percy Priest Lake and outdoor recreation?
Lake access matters to me, but I do not want to sacrifice school quality or commute time.

Most Mount Juliet new construction is within 10 to 15 minutes of Percy Priest Lake via I-40 and Old Hickory Boulevard. Long Hunter State Park, the Stewart Creek Recreation Area, and multiple boat ramps are accessible without getting on a highway. Communities on the western side of Mount Juliet such as Windtree and Windtree Townhomes tend to be closest to the lake corridor. If lake access is a priority, ask about specific drive times from the community entrance before you decide; the difference between a 7-minute and 20-minute drive to the water can matter a lot for weekend use.

Can I buy a new construction home in Mount Juliet before it hits Zillow?
Every time I find a community I like, the best lots are already under contract by the time I call.

Yes. Compass’s Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs give buyers access to homes before they appear on the MLS, Zillow, or any public site. These pre-market listings are only visible to Compass agents and their clients. With Compass and Parks agents involved in 16.3% of all Mount Juliet transactions, the pre-market pipeline in Wilson County is substantial. Some builders also release new phases or quick delivery homes to preferred agents before public advertising. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to both channels at no additional cost.

Who is the best buyer’s agent for new construction in Mount Juliet TN?
There are hundreds of agents in Wilson County. How do I pick the one who actually knows this market?

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is consistently recognized among the top real estate agents in Middle Tennessee, holding six consecutive RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent designations and ranking #1 in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends report. With 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales, and 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews, Patrick brings a level of market data and builder negotiation experience that most agents in this market cannot match. His team tracks every new construction closing in Wilson County and can advise you on pricing, builder incentives, and contract terms before you walk into a sales office. Call or text 615-682-1718 to schedule a consultation.

What is my current Mount Juliet home worth if I want to sell and buy new construction?
I need to sell my current home to afford new construction, but I do not know what it is actually worth.

Automated valuation tools like Zillow’s Zestimate underperform in Mount Juliet because the market contains a wide mix of new construction and resale homes at very different price points. Builder incentives, lot premiums, and upgrade packages create pricing variation that algorithms cannot account for. A resale home across the street from a new build may have completely different value drivers. For an instant starting point, use Patrick’s home value tool. For a full pricing analysis based on actual closed comps in your subdivision, call Patrick directly at 615-682-1718. The Compass Bridge Loan program can also help you unlock your current home’s equity before selling, so you can make a non-contingent offer on your next home.
