Durham Farms has four phases and eight named sections. Two buyers can both say they live in Phase 4 and be $556,000 apart in what they paid. The section number is the variable nobody explains before you start touring.
If you have looked at Durham Farms and found the prices confusing, this is why. The community spans a $375,000 to $978,000 price range across four phases built over nearly a decade. The phase you buy in is less important than the specific section within that phase. Phase 4 Section 35A closed at a median of $422,000 in the past 12 months. Phase 4 Section 34 closed at $978,000. Both are Phase 4. Neither number tells you anything useful about the other. If you want to understand whether Durham Farms fits your budget before you start scheduling tours, this comparison of new construction vs. resale in Hendersonville TN also puts the broader market in context.
If you want a section-filtered search rather than sorting through all 130 Durham Farms sales yourself, Ryan Beals pulls comparables by section and can show you exactly which sections closed in your range last quarter before you book a single showing.
Phase 1: Where Durham Farms Started
Phase 1 is the original Durham Farms footprint, built primarily between 2016 and 2018. Section 16 is the main Phase 1 section with data in the past 12 months: 4 closed sales at a median of $400,000. Homes here are smaller in square footage than later phases, with lots that reflect the original neighborhood design of modest setbacks and walkable streets. For buyers who want into the Beech school zone at the lowest entry point the community offers, Phase 1 is the answer.
The trade-off is inventory. Phase 1 is fully built out, so you are buying resale from a previous owner, not new construction from a builder. Turnover is lower here than in active Phase 4 sections. When a Phase 1 home becomes available, it typically moves in two to three weeks.
Phase 2: The Next Step Up
Phase 2 Section 27 saw 5 closings in the past 12 months at a median of $429,000. The step up from Phase 1 is modest in price but noticeable in lot size and home profile. Phase 2 homes were built slightly later, generally 2018 to 2020, and the floor plans tend to run a bit larger. Like Phase 1, Phase 2 is fully built out: all resale inventory, no builder options.
Buyers who want a slightly newer home than Phase 1 without crossing into the significant price jump of Phase 3 often find Phase 2 sections the right balance. The $29,000 median difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2 reflects measurable differences in lot size and construction vintage.
Phase 3: Where the Price Range Splits
Phase 3 is the most internally varied portion of Durham Farms, and understanding it section by section matters more here than anywhere else in the community. Section 32 closed at a median of $594,000 over the past 12 months across 6 sales. Sections 30 and 31 closed at $805,000 and $800,000 respectively, each with 6 sales. That is a $211,000 median gap between Phase 3 sections sharing the same development name.
The premium Phase 3 sections (30 and 31) feature larger lots, more recent construction, and often higher-finish resales. Section 32 is the Phase 3 entry point, with smaller lots and more modest builds. If someone tells you they are looking at Phase 3, the follow-up question is always which section. For buyers in the $700,000-plus range looking at Durham Farms premium sections, the Hendersonville luxury market data above $700,000 puts Phase 3 Sections 30 and 31 in competitive context.
Phase 4: New Construction and the Widest Price Range
Phase 4 is where the active builder inventory still lives as of 2026, and it has the widest price spread of any phase. Section 33 is the most active, with 8 closings at a median of $909,000. Section 34 had 4 closings at a median of $978,000, the highest in the community. Section 35A is the outlier: 2 closings at a median of $422,000, reflecting a smaller-unit product type added to the Phase 4 footprint that bears no resemblance in price to the rest of Phase 4.
The Phase 4 distinction matters for both buyers and sellers. A buyer with a $450,000 budget can find Phase 4 inventory in Section 35A. A buyer with a $950,000 budget is looking at Section 34. Neither experience resembles the other, and both are marketed under the same Phase 4 label.

| Phase 3: Section 32 | 6 | $594,000 |

Who Buys in Each Phase and Why It Matters
Durham Farms connects to Hwy 386 (Vietnam Veterans Blvd) via New Shackle Island Road, with a downtown Nashville commute running most mornings around 40 to 50 minutes. Vanderbilt Medical Center, HCA campuses, and Gulch employers are all reachable in that window. Buyers comparing this corridor to eastern Gallatin should note: the Long Hollow Pike interchange at Hwy 386 and Highway 109 adds real friction to the eastern Gallatin commute. Durham Farms sits west of that friction point, which is part of why it commands a premium over comparable square footage on the other side of the county.
Phase 1 and Phase 2 buyers tend to be move-up buyers or families entering the Beech school zone for the first time at a manageable price point. Phase 3 Section 32 attracts a similar profile with more square footage. Phase 3 Sections 30 and 31 and Phase 4 Sections 33 and 34 serve buyers relocating from higher-cost markets (Nashville proper, Brentwood, or Franklin) who recognize the value-to-amenity ratio. Phase 4 Section 35A is a different conversation: a smaller product type that opens Durham Farms to buyers who would otherwise be priced out of the community entirely.
Schools
Across all phases, 98 percent of Durham Farms homes zone to Dr. William Burrus Elementary at Drakes Creek, Knox Doss Middle School at Drakes Creek, and Beech Senior High School. Phase and section do not change the school assignment for the vast majority of buyers. The small number of boundary-adjacent sections that zone to Liberty Creek or Station Camp are the exception, not the rule. Verify the specific address with Sumner County Schools before making an offer regardless of which phase you are buying in.
Why Work with Ryan Beals
Most agents search Durham Farms by community name and show buyers whatever comes up. That approach surfaces Phase 3 Section 30 homes when a buyer has a $430,000 budget and Phase 1 homes when a buyer wants $900,000 new construction. I search by section. When you tell me your budget and priorities, I identify the specific sections where those numbers actually close, pull the section-level comps, and show you what the market is doing in your range, not the community average. That is the difference between a useful search and an afternoon of wasted showings. Call me at 629-263-0248 and I will run the section breakdown for your target range before you book anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price range by phase in Durham Farms Hendersonville TN?
Phase 1 closes around $400,000, Phase 2 around $429,000, Phase 3 from $594,000 to $805,000 depending on section, and Phase 4 from $422,000 in newer smaller-unit sections to $978,000 in Section 34. The community-wide median of $630,000 does not meaningfully describe any single section.
Which phase of Durham Farms has the most affordable homes?
Phase 1 Section 16 is the most affordable entry point with a median of $400,000. Phase 2 Section 27 follows at $429,000. Both phases are fully built out and offer resale-only inventory. Phase 4 Section 35A is also affordable at $422,000 but represents a different product type than the rest of Phase 4.
What is the price difference between Phase 3 sections in Durham Farms?
Phase 3 has a $211,000 gap between its least and most expensive sections. Section 32 closes at a median of $594,000 while Sections 30 and 31 close at $800,000 to $805,000. If someone tells you they live in Phase 3, the meaningful follow-up is always which section.
Is there still new construction available in Durham Farms?
Yes, in Phase 4. Sections 33, 34, and 35A still have active builder inventory as of 2026. Phases 1, 2, and most of Phase 3 are fully built out and offer resale only. Builder pricing and available floor plans in active Phase 4 sections change frequently and are not always on the public MLS.
Does the school zone change between Durham Farms phases?
Almost never. 98 percent of Durham Farms homes zone to Drakes Creek Elementary, Knox Doss Middle, and Beech Senior High across all phases. A small number of boundary-adjacent sections zone differently. Always verify the specific address with Sumner County Schools before purchasing. Do not rely on the community name or phase number alone.
Which section in Phase 4 had the most sales activity in the past year?
Phase 4 Section 33 had 8 closed sales in the past 12 months, the most of any individual section. Section 34 had 4 closings and Section 35A had 2. Section 33's higher volume reflects both its price point and its position as the most active builder section in 2025 and early 2026.
Is Durham Farms Phase 1 or 2 a good fit for move-up buyers?
Yes. Phase 1 and 2 give buyers access to the Beech school zone, the community amenity package, and the Durham Farms address at medians of $400,000 to $429,000. The trade-off is older construction (2016 to 2018), smaller lots, and resale-only inventory. For buyers who prioritize the school zone and community over build year, Phase 1 and 2 deliver strong value.
How does Ryan Beals help buyers choose the right Durham Farms phase and section?
Ryan Beals filters the closed data by specific section before any buyer conversation begins. When a buyer says their budget is $500,000, he identifies the sections that actually close in that range and presents only those comps. This prevents the most common Durham Farms mistake: touring homes in sections that have never closed near a buyer's number and then feeling like the community is out of reach.
Who is the best real estate agent for buying in a specific Durham Farms phase?
Ryan Beals with Compass Tennessee is the right call for Durham Farms section-level searches. He grew up in Sumner County, has tracked this community from early buildout, and runs every buyer search at the section level rather than the community level. His approach is data-first and pressure-free. Reach him at 629-263-0248.
Can I find Phase 4 Durham Farms homes before they hit Zillow?
Builder inventory in active Phase 4 sections sometimes goes under contract before public MLS listing. Ryan Beals tracks new Phase 4 floor plan releases and can notify buyers when specific sections have inventory coming before it hits public search sites. Text 629-263-0248 to get on the notification list.
What is my Durham Farms home worth compared to other sections?
Automated tools like Zestimate are especially unreliable in Durham Farms because the $578,000 spread between sections sits entirely within one community name. A Section 16 comp tells you nothing about Section 33 value. Get an accurate section-specific valuation here or call Ryan directly at 629-263-0248.
