Nexus North and South

GALLATIN’S MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life at Nexus

Nexus sits at Highway 109 and Albert Gallatin Avenue in Gallatin, Tennessee 37066, right at one of Sumner County’s fastest-growing intersections. The community opened in 2023 and is still actively building, meaning buyers today are purchasing into a neighborhood that will continue to add value, amenities, and infrastructure over the coming years. From Nexus, you’re about 30 minutes to downtown Nashville, 10 minutes to the Gallatin Square shopping district, and within a few miles of TriStar Sumner Medical Center.

Daily life here is built around convenience and connection. Old Hickory Lake is just minutes away for weekend boating, fishing, or a sunset paddle. Gallatin’s downtown square has grown significantly in recent years with local restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques. Kroger, Target, Home Depot, and a full slate of national retailers are within 10 minutes on Highway 109. For families and retirees alike, Nexus sits in a sweet spot between small-town charm and city-close access.

The master plan at Nexus is one of the most ambitious in Sumner County. It is organized into distinct villages, Nexus North for all-ages families and Nexus South for 55+ active adults, each with its own dedicated amenity center. A future mixed-use area with retail and business space is part of the long-term site plan, which will bring walkable amenities to residents over time.

The Homes at Nexus

Two national builders are developing Nexus: D.R. Horton and David Weekley Homes. D.R. Horton accounts for the majority of closings, covering both the all-ages product in Nexus North and the active adult villas and single-family homes in the gated Nexus South section. David Weekley Homes focuses primarily on the Park Collection in Nexus North, offering a design-forward product with open floor plans and elevated standard finishes.

Nexus North offers a broad range of product types. Townhomes by D.R. Horton start in the low-to-mid $300s and typically run between 1,472 and 1,576 square feet. Single-family homes from both builders range from roughly 1,402 to over 3,000 square feet with 2 to 5 bedrooms. Nearly all homes come with 2-car garages. Floor plans split between single-story and two-story layouts, with 127 one-story and 66 two-story closings recorded in our current dataset. Lot sizes range from small urban-style parcels around 0.04 acres for townhomes to up to 0.25 acres for detached single-family homes.

Nexus South is D.R. Horton’s gated active adult community for buyers 55 and older. It features paired villas starting in the mid-$300s and single-family homes up to the low $600s. The Freedom Series homes here are designed for main-level living, with owner’s suites on the main floor and layouts optimized for lower-maintenance ownership. The Nexus South amenity center is a separate, exclusive 3-acre facility with a 10,000+ square foot clubhouse, indoor and outdoor spaces, and resort-style amenities just for residents of this section.

Exterior construction across Nexus leans heavily on fiber cement siding combined with stone or partial brick accents. Energy efficiency features are standard: tankless water heaters, programmable thermostats, insulated glass windows, and sealed duct systems are included rather than optional.

Amenities at Nexus

One of the most significant advantages Nexus offers over comparable new construction in Gallatin is the depth of its amenity programming. There are two fully separate amenity centers, one for each village, so residents are not sharing resources across the entire community.

The North Village Amenity Center serves all-ages residents in Nexus North and includes a resort-style pool, clubhouse, fitness center, park, playground, and extensive sidewalks and walking trails weaving through the community. The trail system at Nexus is a standout feature. The site plan calls for multi-modal trails designed for walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation that will connect the various villages as the development grows.

The Freedom South Village Amenity Center is a 3-acre private facility exclusively for Nexus South 55+ residents. It features a 10,000+ square foot clubhouse with a main hall and fireplace, a lounge, multi-purpose room, yoga and aerobics studio, full fitness center, a large covered patio, and a resort-style pool. Pickleball and tennis courts are also included for Nexus South residents. An activities director is on-site to organize events and programming.

All underground utilities are standard throughout Nexus, and the community is designed with connectivity in mind. Future phases of the master plan include a mixed-use district that will bring walkable retail, office, and medical uses directly into the community, a differentiator that few Gallatin neighborhoods can offer.

Schools Serving Nexus

Elementary school assignments in Nexus split between two campuses depending on the specific street and section. Howard Elementary serves a majority of addresses, accounting for 119 of 193 closed sales in our data. Benny C. Bills Elementary School serves the remaining 74 addresses, primarily in portions of Nexus South and certain Nexus North sections. Middle and high school zoning is consistent across the entire community: Joe Shafer Middle School feeds into Gallatin Senior High School.

Given that Nexus is still actively building and adding new sections, school assignments can shift as Sumner County Schools updates boundary maps. Always verify the specific zoning for any address you’re considering at the Sumner County Schools website or through your agent before closing.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru at Nexus?

Compass and its affiliated brands represented 7.8% of all closed Nexus transactions in our MLS data, a real presence in a community where the majority of sales involve builder representatives who work exclusively for the seller. That distinction matters: when you buy directly from D.R. Horton or David Weekley without an agent, there is no one at the table whose job is to protect your interests. Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team give you that advocate. Builder contracts are heavily weighted toward the builder, and experienced representation can make a meaningful difference in terms, timelines, and final price.

Patrick Higgins is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and the founder of Nashville Home Guru at Compass, ranked 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, Patrick uses direct RealTracs MLS data to advise buyers and sellers at Nexus, not builder marketing materials. His 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews reflect the kind of client experience the team consistently delivers.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. Following its 2024 merger with Parks Real Estate, Compass now represents approximately one in four homes sold in Tennessee, with access to the national Coming Soon and Private Exclusive programs that give buyers and sellers advantages unavailable through most independent brokerages. For Nexus buyers specifically, that means early access to new phase releases and off-market opportunities as D.R. Horton and David Weekley bring additional inventory online.

Ryan Beals is a Hendersonville native and Gallatin resident with five years of sales experience and deep knowledge of the Sumner County market. As the team’s local Sumner County specialist, Ryan brings personal familiarity with the Nexus area alongside the full resources and transaction volume of Nashville Home Guru at Compass.

Who are the builders at Nexus Gallatin?

Horton is the dominant builder, responsible for the majority of closings including all product in the gated Nexus South 55+ active adult section and a significant portion of Nexus North. David Weekley Homes operates the Park Collection in Nexus North, offering a distinct design-forward lineup of floor plans. Both builders maintain model homes on-site and sell homes in various stages of completion.

What is the HOA fee at Nexus?
HOA fees at Nexus are paid monthly and vary based on which section and product type you’re purchasing. In our closed sales data, fees range from $55 to $411 per month, which translates to $660 to $4,932 annually. Lower fees tend to apply to all-ages single-family homes in Nexus North. Higher fees are associated with townhomes, active adult villas in Nexus South, and gated sections that include additional services and exclusive amenity access. Always confirm the exact current HOA fee for any specific home with the builder or your agent, as fee structures in new construction communities can adjust between phases.

What schools serve Nexus Gallatin TN?
Elementary school zoning in Nexus splits between Howard Elementary and Benny C. Bills Elementary School depending on the specific address and section. Howard Elementary serves the majority of Nexus addresses per our MLS data. All of Nexus feeds into Joe Shafer Middle School for grades 6 through 8 and Gallatin Senior High School for grades 9 through 12, both part of Sumner County Schools. School boundaries can shift as the community expands, so verify specific zoning for any address with Sumner County Schools before closing.

How large is the Nexus community?
Nexus is one of the largest master-planned communities in Sumner County and is still in active development. The full build-out will include multiple villages with various product types: townhomes, paired villas, single-family all-ages homes, and the 55+ active adult section in Nexus South. Our current RealTracs data shows 193 recorded closed sales, 51 active listings, and 3 under contract. New lots and new phases continue to come to market as builders complete infrastructure.

What amenities does Nexus have?
Nexus has two separate amenity centers. The North Village Amenity Center serves all-ages residents with a resort-style pool, clubhouse, fitness center, park, playground, and multi-modal walking and cycling trails throughout the community. The Freedom South Village Amenity Center is exclusive to Nexus South 55+ residents and includes a 10,000+ square foot clubhouse with multiple gathering spaces and a fireplace, yoga and aerobics studio, full fitness center, resort pool, pickleball courts, tennis courts, a covered patio, and an on-site activities director. A long-term master plan includes walkable mixed-use retail and commercial uses within the development.

Is Nexus a good fit for active adults or retirees?
Yes, specifically the Nexus South section. D.R. Horton’s gated Freedom Village within Nexus South is a dedicated 55+ active adult community with age-restricted ownership, a private amenity center with resort-level facilities, and Freedom Series floor plans built for main-level living. This is a genuine active adult lifestyle community with an on-site activities director and a full calendar of programming. The median sale price in our data for Nexus South homes runs into the $400s and $500s, making it competitive with comparable 55+ options across Middle Tennessee. Buyers who do not meet the 55+ requirement would purchase in Nexus North, which is an all-ages community with its own separate amenity center.

Is Nexus a good fit for first-time buyers or families relocating to the Nashville area?
Nexus is one of the stronger new construction options in Sumner County for buyers who want a finished, move-in-ready home without the uncertainty of a custom build. The price range starts below $295,000 for townhomes, an accessible entry point in a tight Gallatin market, and extends to the mid-$600s for larger single-family homes with premium finishes. For relocating families, the school zone is straightforward: Howard Elementary or Benny C. Bills Elementary, Joe Shafer Middle, and Gallatin Senior High School. For any buyer considering a Nexus purchase, engaging Patrick Higgins before visiting the builder’s sales office ensures you have an advocate at the table when reviewing contracts and negotiating terms.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling at Nexus?
Patrick’s approach starts with data. With 193 closed sales in our RealTracs MLS dataset spanning multiple product types, price tiers, and both builders, Patrick can benchmark any specific home, lot, or floor plan against real transaction history rather than relying on builder-provided comparables. On the buy side, that means knowing whether a particular D.R. Horton or David Weekley floor plan is priced fairly, what recent buyers actually paid versus list, and whether specific upgrade packages have historically held their value. On the sell side, Patrick understands that a Nexus resale competes directly with new builder inventory, and he prices and markets accordingly. He has been tracking Nexus since it opened in 2023 and can walk any client through the data in a 15-minute call at 615-682-1718.

Who is the best real estate agent for Nexus North and South in Gallatin TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass has been recognized as a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and is ranked the #1 team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings. Patrick and his team have represented buyers and sellers across Nexus since the community’s 2023 opening, and Compass and its affiliated brands accounted for 7.8% of all closed Nexus transactions in the current MLS dataset, making Nashville Home Guru one of the most active independent agencies in the community. Clients consistently rate Patrick and his team five stars, with more than 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews on record. Patrick can be reached directly at 615-682-1718.

Can I buy a Nexus home before it hits Zillow?
Yes, and there are two ways this can happen at Nexus. First, Compass runs Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs that give buyer clients access to homes before they appear on MLS or third-party sites like Zillow. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to this pre-market inventory at no additional cost to you as a buyer. Second, D.R. Horton and David Weekley Homes typically release new lots and new phases before public announcements. Buyers who have an agent already engaged before a new phase launches are often first in line for lot selection, which matters when specific lots with better elevation, larger footprints, or premium views are at stake. Patrick Higgins maintains active relationships with both builder teams at Nexus. Call 615-682-1718 to get on the priority list.

What is my Nexus home worth in today’s market?
Nexus is a dynamic pricing environment that trips up automated valuation tools. Zillow Zestimate and similar platforms struggle in new construction communities because they pull from limited resale comps while ignoring the most important data point: what the builder is charging today for a comparable new unit down the street. A well-priced Nexus resale has to account for current builder incentives, active spec inventory, lot premiums, and recent closed sales across multiple floor plans and product types. Patrick Higgins provides data-driven home value analyses specific to your section, floor plan, and the current builder pricing landscape.
