Brandon Woods

Brandon Woods is a large, actively developing subdivision on the Maury County side of Spring Hill (Ward 4), with 721 planned units across 251 acres. Ole South Properties is the exclusive builder. The community sits off Port Royal Road near Saturn Parkway, making it one of the more accessible neighborhoods for I-65 commuters. Homes range from townhomes starting around $410K to single-family detached homes up to about $505K. Construction is ongoing as of 2026, with multiple phases complete and more in the pipeline.

The model home is at 162 Brandon Woods Drive, Spring Hill, TN 37174, open daily and by appointment.

History and Development

Brandon Woods was originally approved through Spring Hill's planning process as "Meadowbrook South." The developer, Brandon Woods Partners, brought the project through zoning, and the site plan has been modified over time. A major modification approved by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on June 18, 2018 increased the lot count from 684 to 721, reconfigured the lot layout and rights-of-way, and created a connection to Port Royal Road through a previously approved townhome project.

Ole South Properties is the exclusive builder. Ole South was founded in 1986 by John Floyd in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and has grown into the largest independently owned homebuilder in Tennessee, recognized among the Top 100 Home Builders nationally. Floyd started in real estate at 23 and has received nearly 50 awards for homebuilding excellence, including Tennessee Home Builder of the Year (2008) from the Home Builders Association of Tennessee.

The development is being built in phases:

Phase 1 — The Villas at Brandon Woods: 61 low-maintenance townhomes. Fully occupied.

Phase 2: 62 traditional single-family homes, all four-sides brick. Sold out with a waiting list during initial release.

Phase 3: 108 home sites. Under development.

Phase 4: Road dedication accepted by the city (Resolution 25-79, 2025).

Phase 5: Right-of-way accepted by the city (Resolution 25-197, 2025).

When fully complete, Brandon Woods will contain over 720 homes. Construction is active and will continue for several more years.

Location and Access

Brandon Woods is on the west side of Spring Hill, between Port Royal Road and Saturn Parkway. This location is a real advantage for commuters.

Key distances and access points:

• I-65: Take Saturn Parkway (Exit 53 off I-65) to the first exit, then left on Port Royal Road 1.25 miles to Brandon Woods Drive. This is about a 5-minute drive to the interstate
• Saturn Parkway: Direct access — the subdivision essentially sits at the first exit off Saturn Parkway
• Port Royal Road: The community's primary external road connection
• Downtown Nashville: Approximately 35 miles north, 35-40 minutes
• Cool Springs/Franklin: About 20 minutes north via I-65

Nearby landmarks:

• Harvey Park — 4001 Miles Johnson Parkway, Spring Hill. City park with picnic pavilions, playground, walking trail, bike trail, grills, and restroom facilities. Two shelter areas (Japanese Maple Shelter and Red Oak Shelter) available for reservation
• The Crossings of Spring Hill — nearby shopping

Streets within the community: Brandon Woods Drive (main road), Wren Way, Ruth Way, Shannon Place, among others as phases continue to build out.

Homes

Brandon Woods offers two housing types: townhomes (The Villas) and traditional single-family detached homes.

Townhomes (The Villas at Brandon Woods)

The first phase of 61 townhomes is fully occupied. These are Ole South's low-maintenance townhome product.

Single-Family Homes

Ole South currently offers 12 floor plans for single-family homes:

Size range: 1,441 to 2,700 sq ft for single-family homes.

Price range: $410K–$505K (new construction base prices). Move-in ready inventory homes may be priced higher.

Construction: All homes are brick on all four sides ("four-sides brick"). This is an Ole South standard for Brandon Woods and a notable feature — many builders in this price range only do brick on the front or partial brick. Four-sides brick means lower exterior maintenance and better durability.

Standard features: Two-car attached garage, kitchen appliances included, energy-efficient construction (TVA Energy Right program compliant).

Available inventory (as of early 2026):

• 414 Wren Way (Lot 232): 4 bed/3 bath, 2,581 sq ft, 1-story, $512,990
• 410 Wren Way (Lot 230): 4 bed/2.5 bath, 2,137 sq ft, 2-story, $497,990

Financing: Ole South offers a partnership with First Community Mortgage providing $99 total closing costs (covers property tax escrow, insurance escrow, discount points, and prepaid items). This is a builder incentive, not a universal rate.

Amenities

Brandon Woods is still under construction, so the full amenity package isn't complete yet. Planned amenities include:

• Neighborhood pool (planned)
• Playground (planned)
• Sidewalks throughout the community

The community is adjacent to Harvey Park, a Spring Hill city park at 4001 Miles Johnson Parkway that offers picnic pavilions, a playground, a walking trail, a bike trail, grills, and restroom facilities. This supplements the on-site amenities, especially during the construction period before the neighborhood pool is built.

The amenities at Brandon Woods will be more modest than established subdivisions like Brixworth or Southern Springs. That's reflected in the lower HOA.

HOA

Annual HOA dues: $600 per year (approximately $50/month).

This is one of the lowest HOAs in Spring Hill for a subdivision of this size. For comparison, Southern Springs charges $274–$334/month and Brixworth charges $110–$147/quarter. The Brandon Woods HOA covers common area maintenance and, eventually, pool and playground upkeep.

Schools

Brandon Woods is zoned for Maury County Public Schools (MCPS):

Marvin Wright Elementary School

• Grades PK–4, approximately 629 students
• 4-star SchoolDigger rating (2023–2024)
• Ranked #3 among Maury County elementary schools (Niche)
• Proficiency: 48.5% math, 54.4% ELA, 53.9% science
• Consistently outperforms Maury County and state averages

Battle Creek Middle School

• Grades 5–8, approximately 727 students
• Ranked #1 among Maury County middle schools
• Proficiency: 37% math, 32% reading
• Outperforms the Maury County district average but below state averages in some subjects
• Higher chronic absenteeism rates noted

Spring Hill High School

• Grades 9–12, approximately 1,243 students
• Niche grade: C
• GreatSchools rating: 4/10
• Graduation rate: approximately 83–85%
• Proficiency: 19% math, 35% reading
• Ranked approximately 196th in Tennessee

The schools reality: Maury County schools lag behind Williamson County schools across the board. This is the trade-off for the lower home prices on the Maury County side of Spring Hill. If school quality is your top priority, you need to look at Williamson County-zoned subdivisions like Wades Grove or Brixworth — and you'll pay $100K–$300K more for comparable square footage.

Community Feel

Brandon Woods is a community in the middle of being built. The early phases are occupied and establishing a neighborhood identity, but the full community won't take shape for a few more years as construction continues through Phases 4, 5, and beyond.

The buyer profile skews toward first-time homebuyers and young families attracted by the price point ($410K–$505K is entry-level for new construction in Spring Hill), the four-sides brick construction, and the I-65 access via Saturn Parkway. Ole South's closing cost incentive through First Community Mortgage is specifically designed to lower the barrier for first-time buyers.

The community includes both townhome and single-family residents, which creates a broader demographic mix than single-family-only subdivisions.

Brandon Woods is surrounded by other developing neighborhoods including Crooked Creek, Deerfield, Derryberry Estates, and The Cove at Spring Hill — this entire corridor along Port Royal Road and Saturn Parkway is one of Spring Hill's most active growth areas.

Honest Pros and Cons

Pros

• Price point — $410K–$505K for new construction with four-sides brick is hard to beat in Spring Hill. This is the entry-level option for new homes in the city
• Four-sides brick construction — Ole South builds every home with brick on all four sides, not just the front. Lower maintenance, better durability, and it looks good from every angle
• I-65 access — Saturn Parkway puts you on the interstate in about 5 minutes. One of the best commuter locations in Spring Hill
• Low HOA — $600/year ($50/month) is minimal compared to most Spring Hill subdivisions
• New construction — you're buying a brand-new home with current building codes, new systems, and builder warranty
• 12 floor plans — good selection from 1,441 to 2,700 sq ft, both one-story and two-story options
• Ole South is an established builder — 40 years in Middle Tennessee, Top 100 nationally, nearly 50 industry awards. They're not a fly-by-night operation
• Builder financing incentives — $99 total closing costs through First Community Mortgage is a real benefit for first-time buyers

Cons

• Active construction — you're living in a construction zone for the next few years. Trucks, dust, noise, unfinished sections. This is the reality of buying into a developing community
• Amenities aren't built yet — the pool and playground are planned but not complete. You're paying for a promise right now
• Maury County schools — Spring Hill High School has a GreatSchools rating of 4/10 and 19% math proficiency. If schools matter to you, this is a significant drawback
• Smaller lots — this is a 721-unit community on 251 acres. The math works out to roughly 0.35 acres per lot on average (including roads and common areas), meaning actual lot sizes are compact
• Limited resale data — the community is too new to have a robust resale track record. You're betting on future appreciation without historical proof
• Townhome section may affect values — some buyers perceive townhomes as dragging down single-family values. Whether that's true here remains to be seen
• No walkable retail or dining — you drive to everything. The nearest shopping is at The Crossings or along Columbia Pike
• Construction timeline uncertainty — with 721 units planned and multiple phases to go, full buildout could take 5+ years depending on market conditions
