Berry Farms, Franklin TN — Neighborhood Guide [2026]

Franklin, Tennessee has no shortage of beautiful neighborhoods, but Berry Farms is doing something different. This 600-acre master-planned community just off Interstate 65 at Peytonsville Road was designed from the ground up around a deceptively simple idea: what if you could walk to dinner, the grocery store, and a park — without giving up the square footage, the good schools, or the Southern neighborhood feel that brought you to Franklin in the first place? After 20-plus years of helping buyers find the right fit in Middle Tennessee, we can tell you honestly that Berry Farms delivers on that promise in ways most new communities do not. It is one of the fastest-growing lifestyle destinations in Williamson County, and buyers who discover it rarely look anywhere else.

Berry Farms — A New Kind of Franklin Living

Most master-planned communities in Williamson County were built to look walkable. Berry Farms was built to function walkably. The difference shows the moment you arrive. Tree-lined pedestrian paths connect every neighborhood pocket directly to the Town Center, which holds a Publix supermarket, full-service restaurants, specialty retail, and green space — all within a five-minute walk of most front doors. The developer, Boyle Investment Company, designed the community around a live-work-play framework that put the amenities at the center and the homes radiating outward from them.

That planning philosophy has resonated powerfully with buyers. Search interest in Berry Farms has grown sharply over the past two years as word spreads among buyers who want the lifestyle of a walkable urban neighborhood but the schools, space, and setting of Franklin. We see this in our own client conversations every week: buyers come in asking about Westhaven, and after a single tour of Berry Farms, they reconsider. The community feels genuinely different — younger in energy, more integrated in design, and still growing, which means buyers today are getting in at a point when the neighborhood is maturing nicely but still has momentum.

Real Estate in Berry Farms

Home Prices and New Construction

According to NeighborhoodScout data, the median real estate price in Berry Farms sits at approximately $937,872 as of 2025. Active listings in early 2026 show a range from roughly $585,000 to $1,075,000 depending on home size and location within the community. The broader Berry Farms price spectrum extends from the upper $400,000s for smaller attached-style homes up to $2.2 million for larger custom detached residences on premium lots.

Five builders were selected to construct homes at Berry Farms: Legends Homes, Regent Homes, Celebration Homes, Ford Custom Classic Homes, and Stonegate Homes. That curated builder list matters — it kept architectural quality consistent across the community rather than allowing the visual patchwork that can emerge in open-builder developments. The result is a neighborhood that holds together aesthetically and tends to hold value well.

Home Styles and Community Design

Berry Farms offers a range of product types that most Williamson County communities do not. At the Town Center end of the spectrum, condo flats above retail space appeal to buyers who want the lock-and-leave lifestyle with full community access. Moving outward, attached townhomes and then detached single-family homes increase in size and privacy. The architectural palette leans toward traditional Southern farmhouse and craftsman styles with front porches, detailed millwork, and mature street trees. Average living space in the community runs approximately 2,547 square feet, though homes range from the mid-2,000s up to 3,800 square feet in the larger detached sections.

One detail buyers notice immediately: the alleys. Garages in Berry Farms are rear-accessed on most streets, which keeps the streetscape clear and makes the neighborhood feel genuinely pedestrian-first rather than garage-first. That design choice alone changes how the community feels to walk through.

HOA Fees

HOA dues in Berry Farms vary by home type, running approximately $165 per month for townhomes and $235 per month for manor-style single-family homes. Those fees cover maintenance of shared parks, the community pool and pool house, common area landscaping, and community programming. The lawn maintenance program available to some sections covers mowing, weed control, irrigation, and leaf removal — a meaningful benefit for buyers coming from higher-maintenance properties. Always confirm current HOA fees for a specific listing directly with the seller or HOA management, as rates may be updated annually.

The Walkable Lifestyle

On-Site Retail, Restaurants, and Dining (Berry Farms Town Center)

The Town Center is the commercial and social heart of Berry Farms, and it is one of the most complete neighborhood retail hubs in all of Williamson County. At build-out, Berry Farms will include over 1.8 million square feet of retail space. The Town Center itself spans nine buildings with 27,182 square feet of ground-floor retail plus 331 upscale residential units above.

For residents, the anchor tenant that matters most in daily life is the Publix Supermarket and Publix Pharmacy — a full grocery store walkable from most homes in the community. That alone separates Berry Farms from nearly every other neighborhood in Franklin. Beyond the grocery, dining options in the Town Center include:

• Biscuit Love — Nashville’s most celebrated brunch spot, whose “East Nasty” biscuit sandwich was named the best in the country. This is Berry Farms’ second Franklin location.
• Ludlow & Prime — A full-service steakhouse and seafood restaurant featuring raw and cooked oysters, locally sourced produce, and Italian-influenced dishes.
• Soulshine Pizza Factory — A community staple with craft pizza and a lively atmosphere.
• Tito’s Mexican Restaurant — Casual Tex-Mex dining popular with families.
• Umi Japanese Restaurant — Sushi and Japanese cuisine.
• Whit’s Frozen Custard — A neighborhood dessert spot.
• Edley’s Bar-B-Que — Tennessee-style barbecue that has become one of the more popular spots in the development.
• Chick-fil-A and McDonald’s — Quick-service options rounding out the retail mix.

Specialty retail and services include Berry Farms Wine & Spirits, Fantastic Sams, GERI G., The Nail Parlor, and Sugaring NYC, with additional tenants continuing to open through 2025 and 2026. There is also a community garden with 46 raised beds where residents grow their own vegetables, which tells you something about who this community attracts.

Community Green Spaces and Parks

Berry Farms was designed with gathering spaces and open areas integrated throughout. The pedestrian system — a network of tree-lined sidewalks and dedicated trails — connects every neighborhood pocket to the Town Center and to the parks. Key outdoor amenities include a community pool and pool house, bocce ball courts, playgrounds, neighborhood parks, and walking and biking trails that run through the green space buffering the different residential sections. The community’s green space philosophy was intentional from the start: every home in Berry Farms sits within a five-minute walk of shops, restaurants, parks, and the pool.

Events and Social Programming

Berry Farms runs an active community events calendar that keeps the Town Center and green spaces activated throughout the year. Seasonal events, farmers markets, outdoor concerts, and neighborhood gatherings are organized through the community’s social programming, which is one of the reasons Berry Farms has developed a notably tight-knit resident culture for a community its size. The HOA and the Town Center management coordinate closely on programming, which makes the calendar feel cohesive rather than disjointed.

Buyers comparing master-planned communities in Franklin almost always put Westhaven and McKays Mill on the same list as Berry Farms. Here is how the three stack up across the factors that matter most to our clients:

The clearest differentiator for Berry Farms is the combination of an on-site walkable grocery store with a curated restaurant and retail lineup at a price point that sits below Westhaven. For buyers who want the walkable lifestyle but cannot or do not want to absorb Westhaven’s $1.4M median, Berry Farms is the most compelling alternative in Franklin today.
