New Homes in Hendersonville TN: 194 New Construction Closings, a $659,295 Median and Every Community Compared (2026)

Hendersonville closed 194 new construction homes in the past year at a $659,295 median, across 21 named communities. Five of them, Mansker Farms, Durham Farms, Oak Creek Estates, Millstone and Norman Farm, account for 61.3 percent of every new home sold.

New homes in Hendersonville TN are not one market. From September 26, 2025, through September 25, 2026, 194 new construction homes closed in the city, 17.6 percent of Hendersonville's 1,101 sales, at a median of $659,295. They ranged from $319,900 for a townhome in Nearwater Place to $5,450,000 for an 8,295 square foot custom home in Bluegrass Estates, and the community you pick decides where in that range you land.

I'm Ryan Beals, born and raised in Hendersonville and Gallatin, and the question I hear most from new construction buyers is simply where to start. This guide is the full directory: every community with a new construction closing this year, its count, median, price per square foot, high school assignment, HOA and the builder where the MLS listing names one. If you want the new-versus-resale price gap instead, the new construction vs. resale breakdown for Hendersonville covers that side.

The short version: 12 communities with four or more sales account for 179 of the 194 closings. The other 15 are one-off custom builds, small infill sections and a handful of listings without a subdivision name.

Every Hendersonville Community With New Construction Closings

The table below lists every named community with at least one new construction closing in the past 12 months, sorted by volume. Builder names come from the listing office on the MLS record; where the listing office does not name a builder, it is shown as per listing.

New construction = MLS BuiltInfo of New, To Be Built or Model. Phase and section variants combined (for example, six Durham Farms labels). HOA is the median monthly fee among sales that listed one. High school is the MLS assignment.

The Five Communities Driving New Homes in Hendersonville

Mansker Farms led the city with 31 new construction closings at a median of $598,885 and $224 a square foot, with 26 of them listed by Meritage Homes of Tennessee. It sits in the Beech zone, carries a median HOA of $59 a month, and ran from $400,000 to $897,996. For a buyer who wants a detached new home near the middle of the market, it is the deepest pool in town.

Durham Farms closed 29 at a median of $814,400 and $232 a square foot, with three builders listing homes: Schell Brothers 11, Pulte 8 and Lennar 8. Its median HOA was $106 a month. Durham Farms is also the community whose volume fell hardest, from 85 new construction sales the year before, which is why buyers now shop the alternatives covered in Hendersonville new construction beyond Durham Farms.

Oak Creek Estates is the top of the tract market: 22 closings, all listed by Schell Brothers, at a median of $1,248,995 and $326 a square foot, from $1,094,373 to $1,605,198. Millstone closed 21 at $716,690, mostly Pulte (16) with 4 from Schell Brothers, and is the largest new construction community in the Station Camp zone. Norman Farm, including The Retreat at Norman Farm section, closed 16 at $649,574, all listed by CastleRock, doing business as The Jones Company.

Behind those five, Crutcher Station closed 13 Ryan Homes builds at $680,675, Anderson Park closed 15 townhomes at $409,900, and Laurel Park closed 7 Phillips Builders homes at $791,676. For how Durham Farms and Laurel Park compare side by side, see Durham Farms vs. Laurel Park new construction.

What Each Budget Buys in Hendersonville New Construction

Under $500,000, 36 new homes closed at a median of $405,089 with 1,633 square feet, and 30 of them were townhomes or attached homes, mostly in Anderson Park, Stonecrest and Nearwater Place. If you need a detached new home, this tier is thin.

From $500,000 to $750,000 is the heart of the market: 85 sales at a median of $615,990 and 2,718 square feet, led by Mansker Farms, Millstone, Norman Farm and Crutcher Station. From $750,000 to $1,000,000, 36 sales closed at $845,303 with 3,516 square feet, mostly Durham Farms, Laurel Park and Meadows of Indian Lake. Above $1,000,000, 37 closed at $1,213,934 with 3,810 square feet, and Oak Creek Estates supplied 22 of them.

Across all 194, the median new home had 2,780 square feet and sold for $243 a square foot. That price per foot was fairly tight from community to community: Norman Farm at $223, Mansker Farms at $224 and Durham Farms at $232 sit within a few dollars of each other, so most of the gap in medians is house size and lot, not a different price for the same home. Oak Creek Estates at $326 is the clear exception.

How Hendersonville New Construction Moved Over the Past Year

A year ago Hendersonville new construction was closing at a median of $631,069 on 272 sales. Today that number is $659,295 on 194 sales, up $28,226 or 4.5 percent, while volume fell 28.7 percent. That rise tells you less about prices and more about which communities were selling: price per square foot moved from $231 to $243, up 5.4 percent, and detached homes alone went from $649,990 to $707,190.

The pipeline rotated. Durham Farms went from 85 new construction sales to 29, Norman Farm from 52 to 16 and Laurel Park from 36 to 7. Mansker Farms, Oak Creek Estates, Millstone and Crutcher Station, which together had only 7 the year before, closed 87 this year. A higher median that comes partly from 22 Oak Creek Estates closings above $1,000,000 is not the same as the same house costing more, so compare like with like inside a single community.

School Zones Across Hendersonville's New Construction

By MLS assignment, 107 of the 194 new homes were zoned for Beech High School, 56 for Station Camp High School and 31 for Hendersonville High School. Mansker Farms, Durham Farms, Oak Creek Estates, Norman Farm and Laurel Park were all Beech; Millstone, Crutcher Station, Saundersville Station and Stonecrest were all Station Camp; Anderson Park, Nearwater Place and Meadows of Indian Lake were Hendersonville High.

The zone medians look like a ranking, $764,900 for Beech, $659,670 for Station Camp and $415,900 for Hendersonville High, but the mix drives it. Hendersonville High's new construction was mostly townhomes; its detached homes alone closed at $876,988, and it had the highest price per square foot of the three at $256. Assignments can change and can differ by street inside a community, so verify the zone for the exact address with Sumner County Schools. The Hendersonville school zone guide covers how each zone works.

Who Is Actually Buying New Homes in Hendersonville, and When They Look

The new construction buyers I talk with tend to fall into three groups: Hendersonville owners moving up who want a newer floor plan without leaving the area, relocating buyers comparing Sumner County with south Nashville suburbs, and downsizers looking for a main-level primary suite with less upkeep. For that last comparison at the upper end, Hendersonville luxury vs. Brentwood and Franklin lays out what the same budget buys.

The drive depends on which side of town the community sits on. Station Camp zone communities on the east side toward Gallatin typically use Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (SR 386) to I-65, while many Beech zone communities on the north and west side reach I-65 by Long Hollow Pike. From most of Hendersonville, downtown Nashville typically runs 30 to 45 minutes most mornings, longer when SR 386 and US 31E back up. Drive it at your real commute hour before you pick a lot.

When a buyer tells me they want new construction in Hendersonville, my first question is which high school they need, because the communities here split cleanly by zone and that one answer usually cuts the list in half. Then I pull the closed sales inside each community instead of trusting the base price on the sales office sign, since lot premiums, structural options and design selections are where the real number gets set. A common worry is that bringing your own agent will complicate things with the builder, so I register with the sales office on the first visit and keep the focus on the contract, the incentive terms and the build timeline. If you also have a home to sell, settle that timing before you sign, because the builder's contract usually sets the terms.

Builder Contracts, Incentives and the List Price

The median new home closed at 100.0 percent of its final list price, and 153 of the 194, 78.9 percent, closed at or above list. That does not mean there is no room to negotiate. Several listings in the data advertised closing cost help or flex cash tied to the builder's preferred lender, so on new construction the negotiation often shows up in incentives, upgrades or a lot premium rather than in the sale price.

Of the 194 sales, 154 were listed as New, 36 as To Be Built and 4 as Models. A to-be-built home means a longer timeline and a contract written by the builder, so read the deposit, completion and appraisal terms before you choose finishes. Nearly every community carried an HOA: 186 of the 194 sales listed one, at a median of $96 a month.

Why Work with Ryan Beals

I grew up in Hendersonville and Gallatin and watched the north and east sides of town fill in with new communities. That history helps when a buyer is weighing Mansker Farms against Millstone, or Oak Creek Estates against a resale on a bigger lot, because I can explain what sits around each community and which way traffic actually flows.

My approach is the same with every client: show the closed data for each option, explain what it means at your budget, and let you make the call without pressure.
