Most buyers walk into Dorris Farm thinking it is one neighborhood with one price. It is really three communities stacked under one sign, built by three different builders, and the gap between the entry section and the premium homes is nearly $250,000.

Here is the number that surprises people first: Dorris Farm has recorded 132 closed sales in the past 24 months at a median of $400,410, but those homes ranged from $315,990 all the way to $694,471. That is not noise in the data. It is the result of three builders working three different price tiers inside the same White House community, and knowing which tier you are shopping changes everything about what your budget actually buys.

Dorris Farm, including the Dorris Farm at Willow Springs section, is one of the most active new-construction communities in White House right now, with homes built between 2024 and 2026. If you want that three-tier breakdown applied to your specific budget before you tour a single model, Ryan Beals can pull the closed comps by builder and section and show you exactly where your money lands.

The community sits in the heart of White House, a Sumner County town at 37188 that has become one of the fastest-growing new-construction markets north of Nashville. Dorris Farm closings move fast, with a median of just four days on market and a 100% list-to-sale ratio, which tells you demand here is real and pricing is tight.

Getting Around Dorris Farm

Dorris Farm's location is one of its biggest selling points. The community connects to Highway 76 and Highway 31W, which feed directly to the I-65 interchange at Exit 121, the main artery that carries White House commuters south toward Nashville.

From Dorris Farm, downtown Nashville is typically a 40 to 50 minute drive most mornings via I-65, closer to 30 to 40 minutes when traffic is light. The friction point is the Exit 121 White House interchange itself, which backs up during the morning rush as the whole town funnels onto the interstate at roughly the same time. If you commute, plan around that window.

The payoff is access to a deep job market. Many residents work toward Nashville employers like Vanderbilt and HCA, while others stay closer to home along the I-65 distribution corridor and Springfield, where employers such as NHK Seating and Electrolux anchor the local economy. White House works for people who want new construction and a real commute option without paying Davidson County prices.

The Homes and the Three Builders

This is where Dorris Farm gets interesting. Three builders account for nearly every closing, and each one occupies a different lane. The New Home Group has the most volume at 66 closings and tends to deliver the largest homes, with a typical price near $422,000. CastleRock, doing business as The Jones Company, has 32 closings, and Clayton Properties Group, doing business as Goodall Homes, has 31. Goodall in particular is a name Sumner County buyers know well from its work across the region.

Across all three builders, homes run from 1,450 to 3,043 square feet, two to five bedrooms, and two to four bathrooms, at a median of $201 per square foot. The floor plans, standard finishes, and design-center options differ by builder, so the right choice depends less on the brand and more on which plan fits how you actually live.

I have walked Dorris Farm at several stages of its build-out, and the thing that stands out to me is how different the streets feel from one section to the next. The Willow Springs side has a tighter, starter-home rhythm with younger families and a lot of first-time buyers, while the core Dorris Farm streets feel more settled with larger elevations and more mature landscaping going in. Standing at the entrance you would never guess the price spread runs almost a quarter million dollars, but walk three streets back and you can see exactly where the premium tier begins. That is the kind of thing a model home tour will never tell you.

The Three Price Tiers Explained

If you take one thing from this post, make it this. Dorris Farm is not one price, it is three. The Willow Springs section is the entry tier, with a median around $363,990 across 59 closings and a median price-per-foot near $201. This is where first-time buyers and budget-conscious families land.

The core Dorris Farm streets sit in the middle, with a median near $420,000 across 53 closings. This is the heart of the community and the most common price point. Above that, the premium Dorris Farms homes carry a median around $613,525 across 19 closings, larger plans on better lots for buyers who want the top of what this community offers.

That structure is why the overall $400,410 median can be misleading on its own. Two buyers can both say they are shopping Dorris Farm and be looking at homes nearly $250,000 apart. For a closer look at how that lines up against the wider market, our guide to what $425,000 buys in White House shows exactly where a mid-tier budget reaches across town.

Builders, Incentives, and How to Compare Them

Because three builders work this community, comparing them on price alone misses the point. The New Home Group leans toward larger homes, The Jones Company and Goodall Homes each bring their own plan libraries and standard finishes. For a full picture of how these and other White House builders stack up, see our White House builder breakdown.

The smarter comparison is on incentives, not sticker price. With a 100% list-to-sale ratio across the community, the headline price is not where the deal lives. Rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, and design-center allowances are. Those packages shift quarter to quarter and builder to builder, which is exactly where a buyer who knows the data can save real money.

Schools

Dorris Farm is zoned for Harold B. Williams Elementary, White House Middle, and White House High, all through Sumner County Schools. For families, the school zone is a major part of the appeal here, and White House schools are a steady draw for buyers moving up from Nashville. If schools are driving your search, our White House school zone guide walks through exactly which subdivisions fall where. Zone assignments can change as the district grows, so confirm any specific address with Sumner County Schools before you buy.

New Construction Context

Dorris Farm is entirely new construction, which carries its own trade-offs against established resale homes elsewhere in White House. New homes here close in days at full price with builder warranties, while resale gives you mature lots and more negotiating room. If you are weighing the two paths, our breakdown of new construction versus resale in White House lays out the real numbers on both sides.

Why Work with Ryan Beals

I read Dorris Farm by the closed data, not the model home. When a builder's sales agent shows you a price, they are selling their inventory. My job is to tell you what every builder in the community is actually closing at, which section fits your budget, and where the incentive money is hiding this quarter.

I was born and raised in Sumner County and I have watched White House grow from a quiet town into one of the busiest new-construction markets north of Nashville. I do not pressure clients. I show you the numbers, lay out your options across all three builders, and let you make the call.
