The Chadwick

The Chadwick at a glance

The Chadwick is a gated, resort-style new-construction community in Madison, Tennessee, sitting along Nesbitt Lane in Davidson County. The community sits along Nesbitt Lane, with home streets winding through Chadwick Court and Mulberry Terrace. The community debuted in spring 2025 and is built out as a mix of townhomes and single-family homes, with roughly 180 total units planned at full build-out. As of June 2026 it is actively selling, and pricing starts around $259,900, with some floor plans down to limited remaining units.

The builder is Legacy South, a Nashville-area homebuilder founded in 2013 that has grown into one of the largest private builders in Davidson County. The Chadwick is positioned as a resort-style, amenity-rich community: a gated entry, a pool with a private cabana, a fitness center, and a dog park, with private balconies on every home. Because it pairs attainable starting prices with that amenity package and a short commute to downtown Nashville, it tends to draw first-time buyers, right-sizing buyers, remote workers, and people relocating to Middle Tennessee who want a lock-and-leave new build close to the city.

Who builds in The Chadwick

The Chadwick is built by Legacy South, the single builder behind the community. Legacy South was founded in 2013 and is among the largest private homebuilders in Davidson County, which means The Chadwick benefits from a builder that knows the Nashville market and produces homes at volume across the area.

Because Legacy South controls the whole community, the townhomes and single-family homes share a consistent design language, finish level, and amenity plan rather than being split among several builders. Homes come with designer-appointed finishes and personalization options, so buyers get a coordinated look with room to make selections their own. When you tour, the on-site Legacy South team handles the build logistics, and we work alongside them to help you compare plans and lots and understand exactly what is and isn't included.

Homes & floor plans

The Chadwick offers two home types: townhomes and single-family homes. Across the floor plans, homes run from about 954 to 1,926+ square feet and from 1 to 4 bedrooms, so the range covers everything from a compact, low-maintenance footprint to a larger single-family layout. Pricing starts around $259,900, and individual plans and elevations carry their own pricing — we pull the live numbers for you on whichever plan you're considering.

Every home in the community includes a private balcony, plus designer-appointed finishes and personalization options so you can tailor selections. Lot sizes aren't publicly published for the community; lot numbering references up to 180 units at full build-out, and we confirm the specific lot and its dimensions with Legacy South for any home you're serious about.

Legacy South publishes its current floor plans, available elevations, and move-in-ready homes on the official Chadwick community page. Inventory shifts quickly here — some plans have been down to limited remaining units — so rather than rely on a list that can go stale, ask us for the up-to-date plan availability and we'll send the current options that fit your bedroom count, square footage, and budget.

Amenities & community life

The Chadwick is built around a resort-style amenity set. At the center is a sparkling pool with a private cabana, paired with a state-of-the-art fitness center so day-to-day workouts and weekend pool time both stay inside the gates. A dedicated dog park gives pet owners a spot on site, and the whole community sits behind gated security.

On a day-to-day level, the community is laid out for walking, with sidewalks and street lamps throughout the streets off Nesbitt Lane. Private balconies on every home extend that indoor-outdoor living to each unit. The combination of a gated entry, shared amenities, and new-construction maintenance levels is what gives The Chadwick its lock-and-leave appeal.

• Sparkling pool with a private cabana
• State-of-the-art fitness center

• Gated security at the community entry
• Sidewalks and street lamps throughout
• Private balconies on every home

Location, access & schools

The Chadwick is in Madison, just north of downtown Nashville in Davidson County. From the community, it's roughly 15 minutes to downtown Nashville via I-65 North to the Old Hickory Boulevard exit, which keeps you close to the city while staying in a quieter pocket north of the river. Madison puts everyday shopping, dining, and services nearby, and the I-65 access also makes the airport and the rest of Middle Tennessee easy to reach.

The Chadwick is zoned to Stratton Elementary, Madison Middle, and Hunters Lane Comprehensive High School. School zoning can change, so confirm the current assignment for a specific address with Metro Nashville Public Schools before you rely on it, and we're glad to help you verify.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move fast, so treat anything you read here or on a third-party listing site as a starting point and confirm the live specifics with us before you write an offer. We pull current pricing and incentives directly, check which phase is releasing and what's actually available, confirm the HOA dues and exactly what they cover, and verify the lot and its dimensions for the specific home you're considering.

We'll also confirm what's standard versus an upgrade on a given plan, the current designer-finish and personalization options, and the realistic completion or move-in timeline. Because some Chadwick plans have run down to limited remaining units, availability is one of the first things we re-check for you.

The named floor plans

Legacy South sells The Chadwick off five named plans rather than fully custom layouts, which is typical for a builder-controlled community at this price point. As published on the builder's own Chadwick pages: The Eason is a 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhome at 954 sq ft from $259,900; The Bryce is a three-story townhome with roughly 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths near 1,569 sq ft from about $339,000; The Avery is a townhome around 1,873–1,926 sq ft with 2–3 bedrooms and 2.5–3.5 baths from $359,900; and both The Camden (3 bedroom, single-family) and The Sutton (4 bedroom, single-family, offered in multiple exterior elevations) run from $429,900 at roughly 1,773–1,779+ sq ft. Every plan and price is builder-published and moves with releases and incentives, so we confirm the live number and which elevations are actually open before you tour.

• The Eason — townhome, 1 bed / 1.5 bath, 954 sq ft, from $259,900
• The Bryce — townhome, ~2 bed / 2.5 bath, ~1,569 sq ft, from ~$339,000
• The Avery — townhome, 2–3 bed / 2.5–3.5 bath, ~1,873–1,926 sq ft, from $359,900
• The Camden — single-family, 3 bed / 2.5–3.5 bath, 1,773+ sq ft, from $429,900
• The Sutton — single-family, 4 bed / 2.5–3.5 bath, 1,779+ sq ft, from $429,900, multiple elevations

Getting around from The Chadwick

The Chadwick sits off Nesbitt Lane in Madison, a Davidson County community roughly 8–10 miles north of downtown Nashville along the Cumberland River corridor. Gallatin Pike and I-65 are the two main routes in and out; Legacy South and local-area sources both put the drive to downtown at roughly 15–20 minutes in normal traffic, longer at peak commute times. Nashville International Airport (BNA) is on the order of 10–12 miles away — call it a 20–25 minute drive outside of rush hour, though we'd always build in a buffer for I-65 traffic before a flight.

Old Hickory Lake is within about a 10-minute drive of most Madison addresses for boating, fishing, and lake-day access, and Rivergate's retail and dining corridor along Gallatin Pike is a short drive from the community for everyday shopping. If your work or routine pulls you toward Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, or the airport, The Chadwick's Madison location keeps most of those drives under 30 minutes — we're glad to map your specific commute before you commit to a lot.

HOA & ongoing costs

The Chadwick carries a mandatory HOA given its gated entry and shared pool, fitness center, and dog park. Third-party listing sources have published a monthly HOA figure in the neighborhood of $150–$200, but we treat any dues figure we haven't pulled directly from the builder or the HOA management company this month as a starting point, not a fact to rely on. Dues, what they cover (gate, common-area landscaping, amenity maintenance, insurance on shared elements), and any transfer or initiation fee at closing can all change as the community builds out — ask us to confirm the current number in writing before you write an offer.

Price context — what the numbers say today

As of Legacy South's own published pricing, The Chadwick's five plans span roughly $259,900 to $429,900+, which works out to a wide range of price-per-square-foot depending on plan — from the low $270s/sq ft on the compact Eason townhome up toward the low $240s/sq ft on the larger Camden and Sutton single-family plans, using the builder's from-prices and square footages as published. For comparison, a June 2026 Legacy South blog post on the Madison market contrasts Chadwick and nearby Soren townhome pricing (from the $259,900s–$309,900s) against Nashville-proper single-family homes it describes as starting "well above $450,000." We can't predict where new-construction or resale prices in Madison go from here — nobody can responsibly do that — but we can pull the current builder price sheet, recent comparable closed sales, and days-on-market data for you before you decide what to offer.

Is The Chadwick a fit for an investor or second-home buyer

We get asked about rental and investment potential on Chadwick units regularly, so here's the honest checklist rather than a sales pitch. First, confirm the HOA's rules on leasing — gated communities with shared amenities sometimes cap the percentage of units that can be non-owner-occupied or require a minimum lease term, and that policy can change as the board sets it, so get it in writing rather than assuming. Second, pull actual comparable rents and recent lease data for similar Madison townhomes and single-family homes rather than estimating from the purchase price. Third, factor the HOA dues, any gate/amenity fee, and Davidson County property taxes into your real numbers, not just principal and interest. Fourth, ask what portion of the 180 planned units are still builder-owned versus already closed and owner-occupied, since that mix affects both resale comps and how "settled" the community feels day to day. We don't give price-appreciation forecasts to investors any more than we do to owner-occupants — we help you pull the verifiable numbers and let you run your own analysis.

Frequently asked questions

Is The Chadwick gated, and is the gate staffed?

Yes, the community has gated security at the entry. Builder marketing describes gated access rather than a staffed guard gate; we confirm the current gate operation (code, app, or attendant) with Legacy South or the HOA before you tour.

How many total homes will The Chadwick have?

Lot numbering referenced in current listings runs up to 180, which is the figure we use for total planned units. Legacy South doesn't publish a separate build-out count on the community page itself, so we treat 180 as the working total and confirm current phase and remaining-lot counts directly with the builder.

Can I still choose finishes, or are homes move-in ready only?

Both exist here. Legacy South offers designer-appointed finishes and personalization options on homes still in production, and also lists move-in-ready inventory when a plan is complete. Which option is available on a given lot changes week to week, so we pull the current mix — to-be-built with selections open, versus quick move-in — before you tour.

What schools serve The Chadwick, and will that stay the same?

Current zoning is Stratton Elementary, Madison Middle, and Hunters Lane Comprehensive High School. Zoning is assigned by address and can be redrawn by Metro Nashville Public Schools, so pull the current, address-specific assignment and official report cards from Metro Schools and GreatSchools.org for any lot you're serious about rather than relying on this or any other page.
