Overlook at Aaron's Crest

Overlook at Aaron's Crest at a glance

Overlook at Aaron's Crest is a new-construction single-family community in Hermitage, in eastern Davidson County. Beazer Homes opened a VIP interest list in October 2023 and began selling here in spring 2024, with 111 homes planned at full build-out. The community sits along Kemp Drive, tucked into the Percy Priest Lake side of Hermitage, and is actively selling today — homes start around $489,990, with floor plans offering 3 to 5 bedrooms and 1,779 to 3,017 square feet.

What sets this community apart is its energy story: every home is part of Beazer's READY Energy Series and is DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™ certified, which Beazer reports as 40–50% more energy efficient than a typical new home. That focus tends to draw buyers who care about long-term operating costs and a tighter, healthier build — out-of-state buyers relocating to Nashville, commuters who value the quick airport access, and anyone who wants a brand-new home within easy reach of the lake and Providence Marketplace. Because we tour Middle Tennessee new construction constantly, we help buyers compare Overlook at Aaron's Crest against other Hermitage and Davidson County communities and navigate the build from contract to closing.

Who builds in Overlook at Aaron's Crest

Beazer Homes is the builder at Overlook at Aaron's Crest and is responsible for the full community — the floor plans, the model selection, and the energy-forward construction program. Beazer is a national builder with a long Nashville-market presence, and here they've made energy performance the centerpiece rather than an upgrade.

Through the READY Energy Series, Beazer builds every home to be DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™ certified, ENERGY STAR® qualified, and Indoor airPLUS qualified. Buyers also have the option to add a Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall system, which carries a 25-year warranty. Working with one builder across the whole community keeps the construction specs, warranty, and design-center process consistent — we'll walk you through exactly what's standard versus optional so you know what you're getting at each price point.

Homes & floor plans

Overlook at Aaron's Crest is an all single-family community. Floor plans range from 1,779 to 3,017 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms, and pricing starts at $489,990 and rises depending on plan, lot, and selections. Lots are typically in the quarter-acre to half-acre range, though lot size varies by homesite — we'll confirm the exact lot dimensions on any home you're considering.

• DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™ certified across the community
• Part of Beazer's READY Energy Series — built for roughly 40–50% better energy efficiency than a typical new home
• ENERGY STAR® and Indoor airPLUS qualified
• Optional Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall system with a 25-year warranty

Beazer publishes its current floor plans, available homesites, and quick-move-in inventory on its official community page. Plan availability and pricing change as the community sells through, so rather than rely on a static list, we pull the live numbers and inventory for you before you tour, and tell you which plans actually fit your priorities.

Amenities & community life

Overlook at Aaron's Crest is built around shared outdoor amenities. The centerpiece is a resort-style pool with a cabana, alongside community gathering spaces and walking paths that connect the neighborhood. The day-to-day here leans into the Hermitage lake lifestyle — you're close to Percy Priest Lake and just down the road from Nashville Shores Waterpark, so warm-weather weekends can stay close to home.

Everyday convenience is a big part of the draw, too. The community is adjacent to Providence Marketplace, one of the largest shopping, dining, and grocery hubs on this side of Nashville, which puts errands, restaurants, and entertainment minutes from your front door.

Location, access & schools

Overlook at Aaron's Crest is located off Kemp Drive in Hermitage (37076), in eastern Davidson County. The location is one of its strongest selling points: it's roughly 10 minutes to Nashville International Airport (BNA), which is a real advantage for frequent travelers and relocating buyers, and it sits adjacent to Providence Marketplace for shopping and dining. Percy Priest Lake and Nashville Shores Waterpark are both nearby for recreation, and Interstate access keeps the rest of the metro within reach.

The community is zoned to Dodson Elementary, DuPont Tyler Middle School, and McGavock High School. School zoning and boundaries can change, so confirm current assignments with Metro Nashville Public Schools and with us before you write an offer.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move quickly, and a few facts are worth confirming firsthand before you commit. We'll verify all of these with you and Beazer:

• Current pricing and which specific floor plans and quick-move-in homes are available now
• Which phase or homesites are releasing next, and lot size and orientation for any home you're considering
• Current promotional incentives — Beazer has recently offered design-option credits and closing-cost assistance, but these change frequently
• HOA dues and exactly what they cover
• What's standard versus an upgrade, including the Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall option
• Confirmed school zoning with Metro Nashville Public Schools

We never want you relying on a number from a listing site that's weeks out of date. We pull live figures and read the contract details with you so there are no surprises at closing.

Named floor plans at Overlook at Aaron's Crest

Beazer's plan lineup here has included named designs such as the Adelaide and the Richmond, part of a roughly seven-plan library the builder rotates through the community as it sells down, according to NewHomeSource's plan pages for the community. Plan availability shifts as homesites release and sell, so a name that's active today may be sold out next month and a new one may be added — we pull the live plan list, elevations, and included specs before every tour rather than working off a cached listing-site page.

As of 2026, Beazer has also advertised a limited-time incentive of up to $20,000 toward closing costs on select homes when buyers use the builder's preferred ("Choice") lender, per NewHomeSource. Builder incentives like this change often and come with lender and contract conditions, so we verify exactly what's on the table — and whether an outside lender might still net you a better outcome — before you sign anything.

HOA dues and what they cover

Overlook at Aaron's Crest carries a homeowners association, and third-party listing data (NewHomeSource) has shown dues in the neighborhood of roughly $135 per month, covering common-area and ground maintenance — think entrance landscaping, the pool and cabana upkeep, and shared green space rather than anything inside your lot line. Dues figures on aggregator sites can lag the HOA's actual budget, so we confirm the current assessment, what it covers, and whether a capital or reserve fund is in place directly from the HOA documents or Beazer's closing paperwork before you're under contract.

Commute times and getting around

Hermitage sits in eastern Davidson County, and the neighborhood's location off Kemp Drive keeps a few key drives short. Downtown Nashville is roughly 13 to 15 miles away, commonly cited at about 20 minutes outside of peak traffic, largely via Interstate 40 and Stewarts Ferry Pike/Bell Road. Nashville International Airport (BNA) is the standout drive from here — roughly 10 minutes — which is a genuine advantage for frequent flyers, relocating remote workers, and anyone tired of a 30-plus-minute airport run from other parts of the metro. Nashville Shores Waterpark, on Bell Road at Percy Priest Lake, is about 15 miles from downtown and a short hop from the community; I-40 access from the area also puts Nissan's Cool Springs offices, the industrial and logistics corridor along Bell Road and Couchville Pike, and Nashville's broader job base within a realistic daily commute. As with any commute claim, actual drive time depends on the specific home's location within the 111-lot community and time of day — we'll map it from the exact lot you're considering.

Getting out on Percy Priest Lake

For buyers drawn here by the lake lifestyle, the closest formal boat access is Nashville Shores Marina at 4001 Bell Road in Hermitage, which offers wet slips, a fuel dock, and a launch ramp on Percy Priest Lake. Seven Points Campground on Stewarts Ferry Pike, also in Hermitage, has an additional public boat ramp. Long Hunter State Park, on the lake's southeastern shore, is a further option for hiking, camping, and additional water access if you want to explore beyond the Hermitage side. None of these are inside the Overlook at Aaron's Crest HOA — they're public or separately operated facilities nearby, which we're happy to point you to on a tour.

Providence Marketplace, up close

Providence Marketplace, the shopping center this community is described as adjacent to, is centered around 401 S. Mt. Juliet Road in Mt. Juliet, just across the Davidson-Wilson county line from Hermitage. It's anchored by Target, Kroger, JCPenney, Dick's Sporting Goods, and a Regal Cinema (Providence 14), with additional retailers including Best Buy, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Ross, PetSmart, and Books-A-Million, plus dining options like Olive Garden, Chick-fil-A, and Panera Bread — a genuinely full-service commercial hub rather than a small strip center. Because it sits in Wilson County, note that shopping here means occasionally crossing the county line, which doesn't affect where you live or your Davidson County tax bill, but is worth knowing if you're mapping day-to-day errands.

Price context for Hermitage, 37076

For general market context (not a prediction and not specific to this community): Redfin's zip-code data for 37076 showed a median resale-home sale price of about $425,000 as of December 2025, down slightly year-over-year, with homes selling in roughly 78 days on average and a median price per square foot of about $238. Resale figures like these are a useful backdrop for comparing new construction to the existing-home market nearby, but they move month to month and reflect a different (older, resale) housing stock than what Beazer is building at Overlook at Aaron's Crest. We can't predict future prices in either direction — we can only tell you what's verifiable today and pull the most current resale comps for you as part of any offer strategy.

On the tax side, Davidson County's 2025 certified property tax rate was $2.782 per $100 of assessed value in the General Services District (unincorporated and most suburban areas, which includes Hermitage) and $2.814 in the Urban Services District, following the county's 2025 reappraisal, according to the Metro Nashville Property Assessor. Tennessee assesses residential property at 25% of appraised value, so the effective tax bill is a fraction of that headline rate. Property tax rates and assessments can change with each reappraisal cycle — we recommend confirming the current rate and any applicable exemptions with the Assessor's office or your closing attorney rather than relying on a prior year's figure.

Frequently asked questions

• Is it 'Aaron's Crest' or 'Aarons Cress'? Beazer's own marketing and most aggregator sites (NewHomeSource, Redfin, Zillow, Homes.com) list the community as "Overlook at Aarons Cress." We use "Overlook at Aaron's Crest" as the common, readable version of the same community — they refer to the identical Kemp Drive neighborhood in Hermitage.
• What schools is it zoned for? Schools are assigned by home address. Pull current zoning for any specific address from Metro Nashville Public Schools and cross-check ratings on GreatSchools.org and the Tennessee Department of Education's school report cards — we're glad to help you find the right tools, but we don't make judgment calls on school quality.
• Is this Nashville or Mt. Juliet? The community's mailing address is Hermitage, TN 37076, and it sits in Davidson County (Metro Nashville), not Wilson County — even though Providence Marketplace, its nearest major shopping hub, is just over the line in Mt. Juliet (Wilson County).
• How many homes are planned, and how many are left? Beazer has planned 111 homes at full build-out. Inventory changes weekly as homes sell and new phases release — ask us for the current count before you tour.
• Does every home really come with solar? No — the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home™ certification and READY Energy Series construction are standard, but the Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall system is an optional upgrade, not included in the base price.
