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

Tillman Place is one of the more interesting new-construction projects to land on the west side of Mt. Juliet in the last two years. It's a 36-acre Patterson Company development that mixes 113 townhomes with 24 detached single-family homes, all built on the north side of Central Pike just west of Pleasant Grove Road. The townhome product opened for sale in May 2025 and is positioned at a buyer who wants new construction in a strong Wilson County school zone without paying the going rate for a detached home on a quarter-acre lot.

Where Tillman Place Is in Mt. Juliet

Tillman Place sits at 6235 Central Pike, Mt. Juliet, TN 37122 — on the north side of Central Pike, west of Pleasant Grove Road. ZIP code 37122 covers most of Mt. Juliet's urban core and the western Wilson County corridor that's been absorbing the bulk of the city's new-construction activity since 2020.

Central Pike is the east-west arterial that connects Mt. Juliet to Hermitage and the broader Davidson County employment corridor. From Tillman Place, you can be on I-40 at Exit 226 in about 3 miles, or you can stay on surface streets through Hermitage to reach Old Hickory and the Nashville east side without ever touching the interstate.

The drive numbers locals actually care about:

• Downtown Nashville — 22 to 25 minutes via I-40 West
• BNA airport — 18 to 22 minutes via I-40 West
• Providence Marketplace — 6 to 10 minutes east (about 4 miles)
• Kroger Mt. Juliet on S. Mt. Juliet Road — 7 to 10 minutes
• TriStar Summit Medical Center (Hermitage) — about 15 minutes west

One thing worth knowing if you're touring: TDOT and the City of Mt. Juliet have been planning a future I-40 interchange west of Pleasant Grove Road as a way to relieve pressure on the existing Exit 226 (Mt. Juliet Road) interchange. The interchange is in long-range planning, not under construction, so don't make a buying decision assuming it lands on a specific timeline.

Who's Building It and What You Can Buy

The townhomes at Tillman Place are built by Patterson Company, a Brentwood-based Tennessee homebuilder that focuses on the Nashville metro market. Patterson is a regional builder, not a national production builder, and their pitch is that they put more architectural detail into the exterior than national builders typically do at this price point — brick exterior treatments and covered front porches are standard rather than upgrades.

The 24 single-family homes on the 36-acre site round out the development, though Patterson's marketing page for Tillman Place focuses primarily on the townhome product as of May 2026. The single-family floor plan portfolio is not publicly broken out on the builder's site; confirm specific detached plan availability with Patterson Company directly. Civil Site Design Group, a Nashville civil engineering firm, handled the site planning and infrastructure work for the project.

For SEO clarity if you're searching: this is a Patterson Mt Juliet community — not a Pulte, Lennar, DR Horton, or Meritage project. Patterson is the only builder on the townhome side.

Floor Plans and Home Sizes

Patterson offers three townhome floor plans at Tillman Place. All three use a "garage-low" layout — the two-car garage sits on a lower level, and the main living spaces (kitchen, great room, primary suite or first-floor flex) start at street level on the floor above.

Ashford

The Ashford is a two-story townhome with a first-floor primary suite, an open kitchen and great room, and an upstairs loft plus three additional bedrooms. Square footage runs roughly 2,140 to 2,449 sqft depending on lot and elevation. End units pick up additional natural light along the side wall — worth asking about if you tour.

Belmont

The Belmont sits in the same size envelope as the Ashford — about 2,154 to 2,449 sqft — but offers gable and hip roof elevation options that change the street-facing appearance. It uses the same two-car lower-level garage configuration.

Waverly

The Waverly is the published starting-point plan at Tillman Place, running approximately 2,140 to 2,435 sqft across three stories under the garage-low design. It's the plan most often listed first in Patterson's pricing summaries.

All three plans use 2-car attached garages on the lower level. Lot footprints inside a townhome community are tight by definition — the 36-acre site holds 137 units total, so don't expect quarter-acre yards. The detached single-family lots are larger but lot-size specifics for the 24-home component should come from Patterson directly.

Pricing and What You Actually Get for It

Pricing at Tillman Place as of 2026-05-22:

• Townhomes — from $457,990 (Waverly plan starting price per current MLS listings)
• Overall townhome range — mid-$400s
• Single-family — not publicly listed; contact Patterson Company

Sources: Patterson Company Tillman Place community page and the Nashville SMLS listing for the Waverly plan. Pricing retrieved 2026-05-22 and changes with phase release and inventory.

For market context, the Wilson County single-family median sale price was approximately $475K in early 2026 per Greater Nashville REALTORS. That puts a starting Tillman Place townhome just below the county median for detached homes — which is the entire pitch. You're trading shared walls and a smaller footprint for a price point that gets you into a strong school zone in new construction.

What's standard rather than an upgrade at this price point: brick exterior, covered front porch, two-car attached garage. What you should ask about during a tour: which interior finish package is included in the base price, whether kitchen and bath upgrade selections push pricing meaningfully, and what the included appliance list looks like.

I'm not making price predictions here. Builder pricing in Mt. Juliet has shifted multiple times since 2023, and what's true today may not be true in six months.

Amenities and the HOA

The amenity package at Tillman Place is built around an unusually large community pavilion paired with a walking trail network — not a pool-and-cabana model.

What's included on the master plan:

• 8,635-square-foot park pavilion — the centerpiece amenity
• Walking trails through the community
• Playground
• Exercise area
• Fire pit
• Sidewalks throughout
• Landscaped common areas

Notably absent: a community pool. If pool access is a non-negotiable for your buying criteria, Tillman Place won't fit — there are amenity-rich Mt. Juliet communities a few miles away with pool, fitness center, and clubhouse packages instead.

HOA dues are not publicly listed on the Patterson community page as of May 2026; confirm with the builder. For townhome communities at this scale, HOA dues typically cover exterior maintenance (siding/brick washing, roof repair scheduling, gutter cleaning), common-area landscaping, and the amenity-area upkeep. Always ask the sales office for a full dues breakdown plus what's in the HOA reserve fund before committing — reserve health on a brand-new community is something you can only check by asking directly.

Schools

Tillman Place is in the Wilson County School District. Per Patterson's community page, the assigned zoning runs:

• Springdale Elementary School (PK–5) — Niche grade A, ranked the top public school in Wilson County. Niche profile (retrieved 2026-05-22).

Always verify zoning by entering the specific home address into the Wilson County Schools zone-lookup tool. District boundaries can shift annually, and individual lot zoning at Tillman Place may differ from the community's general assignment as the development builds out.

What's Nearby

• Providence Marketplace (~4 miles east, 6–10 min) — Mt. Juliet's primary retail center; Target, Lowe's, Publix, Regal Providence 14 cinema, dozens of restaurants
• Charlie Daniels Park (~4 miles east, 8 min) — ballfields, splash pad, walking trails
• Kroger Mt. Juliet (S. Mt. Juliet Road) — full-service grocery, ~7 minutes
• Hermitage commercial corridor (~6 miles west on Central Pike) — Kroger, restaurants, big-box retail
• The Hermitage (Andrew Jackson's home) — ~7 miles west; historic site and grounds
• I-40 Exit 226 (Mt. Juliet Road) — ~3 miles south for highway access in either direction

Pros and Cons of Tillman Place

Pros

1. Townhome pricing in a strong school zone. Springdale Elementary and West Wilson Middle are both A-rated on Niche, and Mt. Juliet High School is #2 in the county. You're getting that zoning for a starting price below detached new construction in the same area. 2. Garage-low design. Putting the garage on the lower level and main living at street level is what most townhome buyers actually prefer over traditional garage-front configurations — you don't walk into a garage door when you pull into your driveway. 3. Direct Central Pike access. You have flexible commute routing — Lebanon Pike, I-40, or surface streets to Hermitage. You're not locked into a single highway feeder. 4. Patterson Company finish level. Brick exterior and covered front porches as standard is above the typical national-builder spec at this price point.

Cons

1. Central Pike traffic at peak hours. This is the primary arterial out of Tillman Place, and the stretch east of Pleasant Grove Road backs up at morning and evening commute times. Plan a test drive at 8 AM if your work schedule depends on a predictable commute. 2. Future I-40 interchange has no firm timeline. The planned interchange west of Pleasant Grove Road is in long-range planning, not construction. Don't price the upside into your offer. 3. Compact lot footprints. 137 units on 36 acres means tight lots by definition. If you want a backyard you can actually do something with, Tillman Place isn't the fit. 4. Shared walls. Townhome construction means party walls and HOA-managed exterior maintenance. Ask about wall assembly sound ratings and HOA reserve health before signing.

Who Tends to Move to Tillman Place

Tillman Place's buyer profile leans toward two groups. First, move-up renters and starter-home sellers who want new construction in the Mt. Juliet school zone but can't justify the price step-up to a detached home on a quarter-acre lot — a townhome at $457K gets them into Springdale, West Wilson, and Mt. Juliet High without crossing into the $600s. Second, buyers who specifically want a first-floor primary suite (the Ashford plan) inside a manageable footprint, which tends to attract folks who want one-level daily living without the maintenance of a full single-family home.

Central Pike access also tends to pull commuters working in Hermitage, downtown Nashville, or Mt. Juliet's growing office and retail corridor. The townhome product is a practical fit for dual-income households who'd rather spend weekend hours on something other than yard work.

A Local's Take

I've watched the Central Pike corridor change a lot over the last six years working with buyers in Mt. Juliet. Five years ago, this stretch of road was mostly older ranches on big lots interspersed with horse pasture. Today, it's the build-out zone — Tillman Place is one of several Patterson and competitor projects working in that corridor, and the texture of the area is shifting from rural-edge to suburban-arterial in real time.

The thing I'd tell anyone tour-shopping Tillman Place: the math on this community works because of where it sits in the school zoning map. Springdale and West Wilson Middle are both A-rated, and Mt. Juliet High is one of the top high schools in Wilson County. Getting a townhome with that zoning for the mid-$400s is a price-to-zone ratio you don't find in most of the comparable Mt. Juliet new construction right now. If you ran the same townhome product two miles east in a weaker school zone, the resale story would be very different.

What I'd want a buyer to think through honestly: the lot is tight, the Central Pike traffic is real, and the I-40 interchange that Patterson and others have hinted at as an upside is not something you can budget around — it's planning, not construction. The walking-trail and pavilion amenity package is solid for daily use but isn't a pool-and-clubhouse setup. If pool access matters to you, look elsewhere.

One specific tour note: when you walk a Patterson townhome here, look at the lower-level garage configuration carefully and think about how it'll work day-to-day with groceries, kids, and weather. The garage-low plans are popular for a reason, but you do end up walking up a flight every time you come home. That's the trade.

If you want context on the broader Mt. Juliet market before committing to a specific community, my Mt. Juliet neighborhood guide covers the city-wide picture, and the Waltons Grove community guide gives you a comparison point on a detached single-family new build a few miles east.
