Arbor Valley

Arbor Valley is a new-construction community in Spring Hill's Maury County side (Ward 4), situated off Beechcroft Road near Saturn Parkway. The development spans 239 acres and is planned for 581 total units — a mix of single-family detached homes by Goodall Homes and attached townhomes by Patterson Company. Construction began in 2024 and is actively underway, with homes still selling and a future amenity center in the pipeline.

This is one of Spring Hill's larger active developments. If you're shopping for new construction on the Maury County side of town, Arbor Valley is one of the primary options right now.

History and Development

The land for Arbor Valley sits on the north side of Beechcroft Road, east of Cleburne Road. The development was brought forward by Goodall Homes (with Josh Thacker involved on the development side) and Patterson Company, LLC handling the townhome sections.

A notable piece of the project's early history: the City of Spring Hill and Goodall Homes entered a joint-development agreement to build a 1.5-million-gallon water storage tank on the property. The project cost just over $1.6 million — the city covered 60% and Goodall Homes covered 40%. Construction on the tank began in late spring 2023, and it was completed and activated on April 15, 2024, marked by a "Turning of the Valve" ceremony with Mayor Jim Hagaman and city staff including Utility Director Jessica Weaver and Water Plant Superintendent Jeremy Vanderford. That tank now serves the broader water infrastructure for this part of Spring Hill.

Home construction and sales started in 2024. As of early 2026, the community has recorded 54 closed sales in the trailing 12-month period, indicating strong absorption for an active development.

Builders operating in the community:

Goodall Homes builds the single-family detached homes. Goodall has operated since 1983 across Middle Tennessee and has won recognition including the 2014 Builder of the Year award and the NAHB National Housing Quality Silver Award (2016). Their Arbor Valley floor plans include options like the Heartland (3 bed/2 bath, ~2,220 sq ft with oversized bonus room), the Sutherland (featuring a 17x13 owner's suite with open-concept main level), and the Colburn (designed for larger families with a main-level room suitable for a home office). Homes range from approximately 1,646 to 2,816 sq ft with 3-5 bedrooms and 2-4 bathrooms.

Patterson Company, LLC builds the attached townhomes. Founded by Wes Patterson, who grew up in a custom homebuilding family in Knoxville and spent 15+ years at a Fortune 250 national homebuilder before starting his own firm.

Single-Family Homes (Goodall Homes)

• Square footage: 1,646 to 2,816 sq ft
• Bedrooms: 3 to 5
• Bathrooms: 2 to 4
• Garages: 2-car attached

Townhomes (Patterson Company)

• Square footage: 1,989 to 2,284 sq ft
• Bedrooms: 3
• Bathrooms: 3
• Garages: 2-car (alley-access in some plans)
• Design emphasis: First-floor living options, low-maintenance lifestyle

Pricing (based on trailing 12 months of sales and active listings)

Single-Family Homes:

Townhomes:

Active listings as of early 2026 show 24+ properties ranging from $399,999 to $584,806. Patterson townhome move-in ready homes are priced from $492,499 to $568,447.

Common features across both types: Underground utilities, sidewalks throughout, modern open-concept layouts, designer finishes.

Amenities

The community has planned amenities that are still under construction as of early 2026:

• Swimming pool (planned)
• Clubhouse (planned)
• Fitness center (planned)
• Playground (planned)
• Walking trails throughout the community
• Sidewalks throughout
• Underground utilities

The amenity center is described as a "future" feature on both the Goodall Homes and Patterson Company marketing materials. This is typical for a community still in active development — the amenity buildout usually comes as the community reaches a critical mass of homeowners.

HOA

Arbor Valley has an HOA, but dues differ significantly depending on whether you're in a single-family home or a townhome:

• Single-family homes: $80-$90/month (covers amenity access and common area maintenance)
• Townhomes: $239/month (covers exterior maintenance, building insurance, grounds care, and amenity access)
• One-time transfer fee: $250-$350

The townhome HOA is notably higher because it includes exterior maintenance — lawn care, building exterior upkeep, and insurance on the building structure. If low-maintenance living is what you're after, that's the trade-off.

The specific management company handling the HOA has not been publicly identified in available sources. Contact Patterson Company ([email protected], 615-472-1317) or Goodall Homes for current HOA details.

Schools

Arbor Valley is in Maury County, which means kids here attend Maury County Public Schools (MCPS) — not Williamson County Schools. This is a critical distinction. Spring Hill straddles the county line, and school quality differs significantly between the two districts.

Spring Hill Elementary School

• Grades PK-4, approximately 428 students
• 37% proficient in math, 37% in reading
• Known as "Home of The Little Raiders"

Spring Hill Middle School

• Grades 5-8, approximately 524 students
• 44% proficient in math, 35% in reading
• STEAM curriculum emphasis
• Ranked in the top 50% of Tennessee public schools

Spring Hill High School

• Grades 9-12, approximately 1,243 students
• Student-teacher ratio of 18:1
• Niche grade: C
• Emphasizes developing "well-rounded, informed, independent, and purpose-driven citizens"

The honest take on schools: MCPS test scores run well below Williamson County Schools averages across the board. WCS elementary students hit 67% reading proficiency and 76% math; MCPS Spring Hill schools are in the mid-30s to mid-40s. If school district is a top priority, this is something to weigh carefully. Many Maury County families supplement with private school or tutoring, or they simply prioritize other factors like home value, community amenities, and commute times.

Community Feel

Arbor Valley is still forming its identity — this is a brand-new community where most homeowners moved in within the past year or two. There isn't an established social fabric yet the way you'd find in a neighborhood that's been around for 20 years.

The mix of single-family homes and townhomes means the community will likely attract a wider demographic range than a typical single-product subdivision. The townhomes, with their first-floor-living designs and lower maintenance requirements, are pitched toward downsizers and professionals. The single-family homes target growing families.

The Saturn Parkway access is a real differentiator for commuters — it's one of the fastest routes to I-65 from any Spring Hill subdivision, and you avoid the Columbia Pike corridor entirely.

Honest Pros and Cons

Pros

• New construction — everything is new, modern floor plans, current building codes, builder warranties still in effect
• Saturn Parkway access — under 5 minutes to I-65 without touching Columbia Pike. This is a legitimate commute advantage
• Price entry point — townhomes starting in the low $400Ks and single-family homes in the mid-$400Ks offer a lower entry than many Williamson County subdivisions
• Two housing types — the mix of single-family and townhomes gives buyers options at different price points and maintenance levels
• Planned amenities — pool, clubhouse, fitness center, and trails are coming, which will add value as the community matures
• Water infrastructure — the 1.5-million-gallon water tank was a joint city/developer project, which means the water system was built to handle the full buildout

Cons

• Maury County schools — MCPS test scores lag significantly behind Williamson County Schools. If school district is your deciding factor, this is a dealbreaker for some buyers
• Amenities aren't built yet — you're paying HOA dues for a pool and clubhouse that don't exist yet. This is standard for new communities but still frustrating
• Still under construction — expect construction traffic, noise, and dust for the next several years as 581 units get built out
• No established community identity — it's too new to know what the neighborhood culture will be
• Maury County property taxes — while generally lower than Williamson County, the school quality trade-off is real
• Townhome HOA is steep — $239/month is not cheap, even with exterior maintenance included
• Resale uncertainty — new communities don't have long resale track records, so appreciation trends are speculative
