Where Knoll Creek Is in Lebanon

Knoll Creek is at 1205 Tucker Drive, Lebanon, TN 37087. Tucker Drive connects to Tennessee Boulevard and to I-40 at the Lebanon exits — the published Lennar marketing puts the I-40 access at approximately four minutes from the front of the community.

Drive times from Knoll Creek:

• Downtown Nashville: about 30 to 35 minutes via I-40 west (~28 miles)
• BNA airport: about 30 minutes via I-40 west
• Lebanon Square (downtown Lebanon): about 5 minutes
• Publix on West Main or Kroger on S Cumberland: about 5 to 8 minutes
• Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital: about 7 minutes

The proximity to downtown Lebanon is a real product feature, not a marketing line. Five minutes east lands you on the Public Square — coffee at Painted Tree, dinner at Town Square Social, antique shops, and Cumberland University events. The four-minute I-40 access is the other half of the equation: most Lebanon new-builds force you to drive through downtown or down a two-lane arterial before you reach the interstate. Knoll Creek skips that step. The Nashville commute itself lands in the 30 to 35 minute range outside peak hours and stretches to 40 to 50 minutes during heavy traffic windows.

Who's Building It and What You Can Buy

Knoll Creek is built by Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN), one of the largest homebuilders in the United States and one of the most active builders in the Nashville metro. Lennar Lebanon TN operates multiple communities in the city, including Knoll Creek and Vineyard Grove (Cambridge, Classic, Cottage, and Grandview collections).

Lennar's signature sales model is called "Everything's Included." Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, hard-surface flooring in the main living areas, smart-home technology, executive-height vanities, and designer-selected cabinetry all roll into the base price. For buyers, that means the sticker number is closer to the real walkout figure than it is at à la carte builders that itemize finishes as upgrade lines.

The flagship at Knoll Creek is the Reserve Collection — six floor plans on private homesites with the three-car garage option as the headline architectural feature.

Floor Plans and Home Sizes

Reserve Collection — six floor plans, single-family detached:

• Square footage: approximately 1,833 to 3,240 sqft
• Beds: 3 to 5 bedrooms
• Baths: 2 to 4.5 bathrooms
• Layout: choice of one-story or two-story
• Ceiling height: 9 feet
• Garage: three-car garage option (the Reserve Collection feature)

Named plans include the Edinburgh, currently advertised as a move-in-ready inventory home priced at $609,990. Specific square footage, bed/bath counts, and elevations for the other five Reserve Collection plans were not publicly enumerated on accessible Lennar pages as of 2026-05-22. The sales office at 615-236-8076 can pull current site maps, inventory, and floor plan spec sheets.

The interior treatment on Reserve Collection homes is what you'd expect from Lennar at this price tier:

The 9-foot ceilings make a real difference in how the great room reads — the same square footage feels meaningfully larger than it does at builders that ship 8-foot standards. The kitchen pulls the Everything's Included finishes through end-to-end:

Pricing and What You Actually Get for It

Pricing as of May 22, 2026:

• Reserve Collection: From the $500,000s; current advertised entry around $551,990
• Edinburgh inventory home (named, move-in-ready): $609,990

Source URLs:

• Lennar — Knoll Creek community page
• Lennar — Edinburgh inventory home in Knoll Creek
• Lennar Resource Center community announcement

The original "from the $500,000s" marketing is still accurate, but in practice the entry has moved up to about $551,990 and move-in-ready inventory is in the low $600,000s. New-build pricing moves week to week — the published page rarely shows the full incentive picture including rate buydowns and closing-cost credits. Walk into the sales office and ask for an itemized quote that includes the current promotion structure.

What you're paying for: a brand-new single-family home with the Everything's Included finish package, the three-car garage option in the Reserve Collection, 9-foot ceilings standard, and the four-minute I-40 access that's hard to replicate at any other Lebanon address.

Amenities and the HOA

Community features per Lennar marketing:

• Private homesites
• Ample open space
• Three-car garage option (Reserve Collection)

Knoll Creek is marketed primarily on the home product and the Everything's Included finishes rather than a heavy shared-amenity package. Specific amenity details — pool, clubhouse, playground — were not enumerated on accessible Lennar pages for this community at the time of this research. If shared amenities are a deal-breaker for you, ask the sales office for a full amenity disclosure before you sign, or compare against Lennar's amenity-heavier Vineyard Grove community a few miles away.

HOA dues are not publicly listed on Lennar's Knoll Creek page. Confirm directly with the builder. HOAs for Lennar communities in the Lebanon market typically run a few hundred dollars annually for landscaping of common areas and road maintenance, but you should request the actual budget and CC&Rs before contract.

Schools

Knoll Creek is in Lebanon, and address-level school zoning may pull from either the Lebanon Special School District (LSSD, which serves much of the city) or the Wilson County School District depending on the specific homesite. Available coverage references both — Byars Dowdy Elementary (1.4 miles) and Winfree Bryant Middle (1.2 miles) on the LSSD side, and Castle Heights Elementary and Lebanon High School on the Wilson County side.

Niche ratings (retrieved 2026-05-22):

• Castle Heights Elementary School (PK–5): Niche grade B+ per Niche profile
• Walter J. Baird Middle School (6–8): Niche grade B+ per Niche profile
• Lebanon High School (9–12): Niche grade B per Niche profile

Confirm address-level zoning at Lebanon Special School District and Wilson County Schools before contract — this is one of the few Lebanon addresses where the district assignment is genuinely lot-dependent and worth verifying before you commit.

What's Nearby

What you can reach from Knoll Creek:

• Lebanon Square (downtown Lebanon) — about 2 miles. Coffee, restaurants, the Capitol Theatre, Cumberland University events.
• Publix on West Main Street — about 3 miles.

• Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital — about 4 miles.
• Cedars of Lebanon State Park — about 10 miles south. 9,000+ acres of forested hiking and camping.

Pros and Cons of Knoll Creek

Pros:

1. Three-car garage option in the Reserve Collection. This is a strong feature at this price point — most Lebanon competitors offer two-car garages as the standard configuration, and a three-car bay is genuinely useful for a truck, an SUV, and a workshop or bike storage. 2. Everything's Included pricing removes the option-package guessing game. Quartz counters, stainless appliances, hard-surface flooring, smart-home tech — all in the base. 3. Five minutes to downtown Lebanon. Real walkable access to coffee, restaurants, and the Square without driving 20-plus minutes from an outer-ring neighborhood. 4. Four-minute I-40 access makes the Nashville commute workable while pricing well below comparable Nashville-side new construction. 5. Lennar's national-scale buying power tends to deliver a complete spec for the price — the Everything's Included package at this tier is substantive, not cosmetic.

Cons:

1. Light on shared amenities. Buyers who want pool, clubhouse, or trail access should compare against Vineyard Grove or other amenity-heavy Lebanon communities before signing here. 2. School zoning is split between two districts depending on lot. Verify the address before assuming a specific elementary or high school assignment — this is the single most important pre-contract due diligence item at Knoll Creek. 3. Reserve Collection pricing has climbed above the original $500,000 marketing entry. The practical entry today is $551,990+ with inventory homes north of $600,000. 4. The Tucker Drive area is still developing. Adjacent parcels are under construction or undeveloped, which means construction traffic and ambient noise on weekday business hours through 2026.

Who Tends to Move to Knoll Creek

The Reserve Collection's combination of 1,833 to 3,240 square feet, the three-car garage option, and the Everything's Included finish package pulls move-up buyers stepping out of older Wilson County resale homes into new construction — particularly buyers whose households now include teenagers and need a third bay for an additional vehicle. Out-of-state relocators who prize predictable new-build finishes and don't want to negotiate upgrade math also land here. The five-minute downtown Lebanon proximity additionally pulls buyers who specifically want the small-town Lebanon feel paired with the four-minute I-40 connection — people who plan to spend evenings on the Public Square, not in a Nashville suburb.

A Local's Take

I sell across Wilson County, and Knoll Creek is one of the addresses I send my "I want new construction but I also want to walk to dinner on Saturday" buyers to. The five-minute drive to the Square is real — it's not a marketing line stretched across 12 miles. If your evenings involve coffee at Painted Tree, a walk around the Public Square, or a Cumberland University event, Knoll Creek delivers on that lifestyle in a way most Lebanon new-build addresses don't.

What I push every Knoll Creek buyer to verify before contract: the school district assignment. This address sits on the boundary between LSSD and Wilson County Schools, and depending on the exact lot you choose, your elementary and high school assignments can change. I've had two clients shop the same community a month apart and end up with different elementaries, and one of them was genuinely surprised at closing. Pull the address into the district's lookup tool — both LSSD and WCS — before you sign anything. The sales office can usually pull this for you on the spot.

The three-car garage option in the Reserve Collection is the other feature that tips buyers toward Knoll Creek over a Vineyard Grove or an Averitt Landing. For trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, lawn equipment, or a workshop, that third bay is one of the most useful 200 square feet in production-build inventory at this price point. If you don't need it, skip the upcharge. If you do, this is one of the few Lebanon communities offering it standard within a Reserve tier plan.
