Wilkerson Place

Wilkerson Place is a 436-unit subdivision on 91 acres in the Williamson County side of Spring Hill (Ward 1). Located off Buckner Lane, it's one of the newer communities in the city — construction started around 2021 and the final phase is selling now. The land was developed by Buckner Lane LLC, with RMG Development involved in the project. Crescent Homes was the original builder, but Dream Finders Homes (a Jacksonville-based publicly traded homebuilder, NASDAQ: DFH) acquired Crescent's assets in February 2024 and now handles all remaining new construction.

The community offers a mix of single-family homes and townhomes, with prices ranging from about $430K to over $1 million. It's zoned for Williamson County Schools, including Bethesda Elementary — one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state.

History and Development

Wilkerson Place went through the Spring Hill Planning Commission approval process in 2021. The initial development plans called for approximately 300 single-family lots on 100 acres off Buckner Lane, with Phase 3 alone accounting for 56 single-family homes plus a pedestrian walking trail and five open space areas.

Developer: Buckner Lane LLC handled the land development, with RMG Development (rmgdevelopment.com) listed as the development partner.

Builders:

Crescent Homes (2021-2024): Founded in 2009 by Ted Terry, Crescent built homes in the Charleston, Greenville, and Nashville markets. They were the original builder in Wilkerson Place, offering multiple product lines including single-family homes and townhomes. Since inception, Crescent closed approximately 5,000 homes across their markets.

Dream Finders Homes (2024-present): On February 2, 2024, Dream Finders Homes Inc. acquired all assets of Crescent Ventures, including their Nashville-area communities. The acquisition included 457 homesites in varying stages of construction, a sales order backlog of approximately 460 homes worth $265 million, and roughly 6,200 lots under control. Dream Finders now builds all remaining homes in Wilkerson Place.

Current status: Active — final phase selling. Only 1 home was available on the Dream Finders website as of early 2026, suggesting the community is nearly sold out. New construction starting prices around $750K.

Location and Access

Wilkerson Place sits off Buckner Lane on the north side of Spring Hill, in a similar corridor to Brixworth. This location puts you close to the June Lake interchange on I-65 (Exit 55), which opened May 31, 2024 — a significant commuter advantage.

Pricing (based on recent sales data)

Amenities

Wilkerson Place has a solid amenity package for a newer community:

• Community pool
• Playground
• Walking trails
• Dog park
• Sidewalks throughout
• Underground utilities

The amenities are relatively new (built within the last few years) and well-maintained. The dog park is a welcome inclusion — not every Spring Hill subdivision has one.

HOA

Wilkerson Place has a homeowners association with fees that vary by property type.

HOA dues: $50-$175/month, depending on whether you're in the single-family or townhome sections. Townhome HOA fees are higher due to additional exterior maintenance coverage.

Services covered: Grounds maintenance, pool upkeep, shared amenities, common area maintenance.

Schools

Wilkerson Place is in Williamson County, zoned for Williamson County Schools (WCS).

Spring Station Middle School

• Grades 6-8, approximately 835 students
• Student-teacher ratio: 15 to 1

The average ACT of 27 is notable.

Community Feel

Wilkerson Place is a new neighborhood that's still finding its identity. Most homes are less than five years old, landscaping is still maturing, and the community hasn't had time to develop the deep-rooted neighborhood character of places like Campbell Station or Brixworth.

That said, the demographic profile is clear: this is a young-family neighborhood. The home sizes (3-6 bedrooms), the school zoning (top-tier WCS schools), and the amenity package (pool, playground, dog park) all target families with school-age kids and dual incomes needed to handle $700K+ mortgages.

Location context: The Buckner Lane corridor is developing rapidly. The June Lake interchange and the commercial development around it will continue to change this area. Being on the north side of Spring Hill means easier access to Cool Springs, Franklin, and Nashville without cutting through downtown Spring Hill traffic.

Honest Pros and Cons

Pros

• Best school pipeline in Spring Hill — Bethesda Elementary (top 5% in state), Spring Station Middle (#19 in TN), Summit High (9/10 GreatSchools, 95% graduation, 27 ACT average). This is the strongest K-12 path you can get in Spring Hill
• New construction — homes are less than 5 years old, meaning modern building codes, energy efficiency, new systems, and warranties. No deferred maintenance surprises
• Dream Finders Homes build quality — publicly traded national builder (NASDAQ: DFH) with accountability and warranty infrastructure that smaller custom builders can't match
• Strong amenity package — pool, playground, dog park, walking trails, sidewalks, underground utilities
• June Lake interchange proximity — the I-65 access via Exit 55 (opened 2024) is a commuter game-changer
• Dog park — not common in Spring Hill subdivisions
• Final phase selling — opportunity to buy new construction before the community is fully built out

Cons

• Price — median sale price of $753K and new construction starting at $750K puts this in premium territory. You're paying a premium for WCS schools and new construction
• Small lots — 91 acres for 436 units works out to about 0.21 acres per unit on average, and that includes roads and common areas. These are tight lots, especially for the home sizes
• Still under construction — final phase means construction traffic, unfinished lots, and an immature streetscape in some sections. The neighborhood won't feel "complete" for another year or two
• Builder transition risk — Crescent Homes started this community, Dream Finders acquired it mid-stream. Earlier phases were Crescent-built; later phases are Dream Finders. There may be differences in finish quality or design standards between the two builders
• HOA fees on the higher side — $50-$175/month is steeper than many established Spring Hill communities, especially the townhome fees
• Young community — no established community culture yet. Events, traditions, and neighborhood identity take years to develop
• Buckner Lane corridor congestion — as the area continues to develop with June Lake and other projects, traffic on Buckner Lane will increase
