Catelonia in Mt. Juliet, TN: A 2026 New Construction Community Guide

Catelonia is a Richmond American Homes community in Mt.

The community opened with a grand opening in early 2025 and is nearing sell-out as of May 2026. If you've been researching catelonia mt juliet tn as your possible next address, this guide walks through what Richmond American is actually selling — pricing, plans, amenities, the no-HOA structure, and the honest tradeoffs at a 46-lot scale.

Where Catelonia Is in Mt. Juliet

The sales address is 107 W. Cassa Way, Mt. Juliet, TN 37122. The community sits on the west-central side of Mt. Juliet, close enough to Providence Marketplace that residents commonly run errands without leaving a 5-mile radius. The I-40 interchange at Exit 226 (Mt. Juliet Road) is about 5 to 7 minutes by car, which positions Catelonia favorably for any buyer commuting west into Davidson County or east into Lebanon.

Drive times as of May 22, 2026 (Richmond American materials cross-checked with Google Maps):

• Downtown Nashville — about 25 minutes off-peak via I-40 West
• Nashville International Airport (BNA) — about 22 minutes via I-40 West
• Providence Marketplace — about 3 to 5 minutes
• Publix and Kroger inside the Providence Marketplace area — about 3 to 5 minutes
• I-40 Exit 226 — about 5 to 7 minutes
• Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital (Lebanon) — about 15 minutes via I-40 East
• TriStar Summit Medical Center (Hermitage) — about 18 minutes via I-40 West

Providence Marketplace proximity is the location lever Catelonia leans on hardest. Most Mt. Juliet new builds are within 7 to 12 minutes of Providence; Catelonia is closer than that, which compounds into everyday convenience the longer you live there — coffee runs, after-work grocery stops, theater nights at Regal Providence 14 all become walking-distance-equivalent in commute terms.

Who's Building It and What You Can Buy

Catelonia is built by Richmond American Homes, the home-building subsidiary of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded national builder headquartered in Denver, Colorado. M.D.C. Holdings has been building across western and southeastern U.S. markets for more than five decades. Catelonia is Richmond American's first community in Mt. Juliet — a notable detail because it means buyers here are working with a Tennessee division that's relatively new to this submarket, and the model home and design center on W. Cassa Way effectively serve as the division's local flagship.

What Richmond American is known for nationally is designer-curated fixtures and finishes included as standard rather than priced as add-on upgrade packages. The pitch is simple: walk through a Catelonia spec home and the finishes you see are largely what the base price gets you, not a tour of an upgraded model that translates into $40,000 in option costs once you actually configure your build.

All Catelonia homes are two-story single-family designs with 2-car attached garages. The community is small — 46 lots total — and Richmond American is running it as a single-phase release with all amenities centered on the existing W. Cassa Way clubhouse.

Floor Plans and Home Sizes

Catelonia offers four named floor plans. Three of the four are consistently surfaced across aggregator data: the Hemingway, Dupont, and Sage. The fourth plan name varies in the aggregator listings — confirm with the Richmond American sales office at 107 W. Cassa Way for the current named plan lineup.

Common specifications across the four plans:

• Bedrooms: 4 to 5
• Bathrooms: varies by plan — published bathroom counts are not consistent across aggregator data, so confirm with the floor plan PDFs
• Square footage: 2,710 to 3,590 square feet
• Garage: 2-car attached
• Stories: all two-story

Lot sizes vary across the 46-lot community. If a specific lot orientation or yard depth matters, ask Richmond American for the current site plan and which homesites are still releasable — at this stage of sell-out, the available choices are narrowing fast.

Pricing and What You Actually Get for It

As of May 22, 2026, Richmond American lists Catelonia at $599,990 to $739,990 (community page, retrieved via aggregator). Press materials describe the community as "new two-story homes from the upper $600s." At retrieval there were 9 move-in-ready homes still available against the 46-lot total — the community is in late-stage sell-out mode, which both compresses your time window and limits your floor-plan and lot choices.

For market context: the Wilson County single-family median sale price was approximately $475,000 in early 2026 per Greater Nashville REALTORS. Catelonia sits well into the upper third of Wilson County pricing. The premium over the county median reflects three things — the Providence Marketplace adjacency, the designer-finish standard package (which costs upgrade dollars at most competitors), and the no-HOA structure that, for some buyers, frees up monthly cash flow that would otherwise go to dues.

Pricing changes weekly with inventory and incentive cycles, and at sell-out stage builders sometimes adjust either direction depending on remaining inventory. Get a current quote from the sales office before assuming any number.

Amenities and the HOA (or Lack of One)

The amenity center at Catelonia is open and operating, per Richmond American press materials. Current amenities:

• Community clubhouse
• Community pool
• Fitness center
• Dog park (announced as "coming soon" at grand opening — confirm completion status with sales)

The unusual structural detail at Catelonia is that there is no HOA. This is confirmed across multiple aggregator sources retrieved May 22, 2026, including Homes.com. For an amenity-equipped Mt. Juliet new-build with a clubhouse, pool, and fitness center on site, that's a notable departure from the standard model. Most communities like this carry HOA dues in the $80 to $200+ per month range specifically to fund pool maintenance, fitness equipment, common-area landscaping, and long-term capital reserves for those facilities.

This is the question every Catelonia buyer should ask before signing. With no HOA structure, how are the clubhouse, pool, and fitness center operated and funded long-term? Are they builder-maintained for a set period? Is there a separate amenity fee that is not branded as HOA dues? Is there a transition plan to a future POA or HOA structure? Get the answer in writing from the Richmond American sales office, including documentation of what happens to amenity operations once the final lot closes and Richmond American steps back from the community. This is not a deal-breaker — it's just a piece of due diligence that's specific to this community's structure and that most Mt. Juliet new-build buyers don't have to think about.

Schools

Catelonia is within the Wilson County School District. Specific zoning for 107 W. Cassa Way and the surrounding lots is not consistently published across aggregator sources, but given the community's west-central Mt. Juliet location, likely current zoning is:

• Elementary: Mt. Juliet Elementary or Lakeview Elementary (verify by address)
• Middle: Mt. Juliet Middle School
• High: Green Hill High School or Mt. Juliet High School

Per Niche.com ratings retrieved May 22, 2026, Green Hill High School holds an A- rating, and Lakeview Elementary is rated as performing above average versus Tennessee public and charter schools at the same grade levels. Mt. Juliet Elementary and Mt. Juliet Middle also carry published Niche grades for the 2026 school year.

Wilson County school zones can shift annually, particularly as the district responds to enrollment growth on the west and east sides of Mt. Juliet. Run the specific home address through the Wilson County Schools zone-lookup tool at wcschools.com before assuming an assignment.

Pros and Cons of Catelonia

Pros

• No HOA — uncommon among amenity-equipped Mt. Juliet new builds, eliminates the monthly carrying-cost line item most competing communities require
• Closest Mt. Juliet new build to Providence Marketplace — a 3-to-5-minute drive to the city's primary retail and dining anchor
• Designer-curated fixtures and finishes included as standard rather than priced as upgrades
• Amenity center already operational (clubhouse, pool, fitness center) with dog park completing the rollout
• About 25 minutes off-peak to downtown Nashville and 5 to 7 minutes to both I-40 and the WeGo Star commuter rail

Cons

• Small community footprint (46 total lots) — limited resale comp pool inside the community itself, which can complicate appraisals
• Community is nearing sell-out, which compresses your decision window and narrows the available floor-plan and lot choices
• No-HOA structure leaves the long-term amenity funding model unclear from public materials — buyers should ask the sales office how amenity operations and capital reserves are handled
• Off-peak commute to downtown Nashville is around 25 minutes, but peak commute on I-40 West stretches to 45 to 60+ minutes

Who Tends to Move to Catelonia

Catelonia's combination of no-HOA, Providence Marketplace adjacency, and turn-key designer-finish package draws buyers who specifically don't want HOA dues but still want a pool and clubhouse on site. Common profiles include established Nashville-commuter dual-income households trading up from a $400,000 to $500,000 home, downsizers from larger homes elsewhere in Wilson or Davidson counties who want walking-proximity to Providence Marketplace, and out-of-state relocators (Texas, Florida, California, Illinois) who want a Mt. Juliet address near major retail without managing HOA fees. The 46-lot scale also tends to attract buyers who prefer a smaller community feel over a 200-to-500-home master-planned development.

A Local's Take

I get more questions about Catelonia than almost any other Mt. Juliet new-build at this price tier, and the questions are almost always about the no-HOA structure rather than the plans or the finishes. The reason is straightforward — buyers shopping in the $600K to $740K range in Mt. Juliet have usually been comparing Catelonia to one or two other amenity-equipped communities, and the math gets interesting fast. If a comparable Mt. Juliet community runs $150 a month in HOA dues, that's $1,800 a year and $54,000 over 30 years of ownership before you account for dues increases. The no-HOA structure, if it's genuinely sustainable, is a meaningful financial advantage.

The thing that surprises buyers once they move in is how often they actually use Providence Marketplace. On paper, "5 minutes to Providence" sounds like marketing copy. In practice, residents who close on Catelonia start running errands they would have driven 12 to 15 minutes for somewhere else, and the compounding convenience adds up to something real — Saturday morning Target runs without budgeting for the drive, after-work Publix stops on the way home, dinner at one of the Providence-area restaurants on a Tuesday because it's easier than cooking. The 5-minute distance changes behavior in a way the 12-minute distance never quite does.

The honest counterweight is the sell-out pressure. With 9 move-in-ready homes against a 46-lot community at retrieval, buyers don't get the same long deliberation window they'd get at a 300-lot community releasing in phases over three years. If you want a specific floor plan on a specific lot orientation, the answer at Catelonia may already be "that one's not available." Working through the trade space honestly with the sales office — what's still releasable, when, and at what price — is the only way to know whether the timing works. And the long-term amenity funding question deserves a real answer in writing before you sign, not a verbal "it'll be fine." Buyers who pair a Catelonia tour with a stop at the Mt. Juliet new-construction overview tend to walk into the conversation with the right questions already loaded.
