Heritage Green

Heritage Green at a glance

Heritage Green is a new-construction community in Columbia, the seat of Maury County, built around Drivers Circle off Baker Road on the south side of the Nashville metro. What sets it apart from a single-builder subdivision is its structure: Heritage Green is organized into distinct collections, each on a different homesite width and at a different price point, so a buyer can compare a 40-foot cottage lot, a 50-foot Classic lot, and a downtown-style 65-foot Signature lot inside one community. It is actively selling, with quick move-in homes carrying completion dates in the July-through-October 2026 window, which makes it a practical option for a relocating buyer working on a timeline.

The homes are single-family and currently range from 2 to 4 bedrooms and roughly 1,692 to 3,436 finished square feet. David Weekley Homes is the primary builder across the production collections, and Drees Homes adds a custom-home offering at the top of the range. Because the collections span from the high $300,000s into custom homes at $1M and up, Heritage Green tends to draw a wide mix of buyers — from those wanting an efficient, lower-maintenance new build on a compact lot to households building a larger custom home — all inside the Columbia city limits and the Maury County Public Schools district.

Who builds in Heritage Green

Heritage Green is a multi-builder community, which is one of its genuine advantages: a buyer is not locked into one plan library or one price point. The production collections are built by David Weekley Homes, the largest privately held builder in the country, which carries the Classic Collection on 50-foot homesites, the Signature Collection on 65-foot downtown lots, and the Cottage Collection on 40-foot lots. Drees Homes, a long-established family-owned builder with a Nashville office, adds a custom-home offering for buyers building at the top of the range.

The result is a community that works as a range rather than a single product. The Cottage Collection opened the lowest-priced single-family homes at $373,990 but has sold out as of March 2026, so it now serves as a price reference rather than an available option. The Classic Collection sits on 50-foot lots and features energy-efficient homes with alley-load garages; the Signature Collection sits on 65-foot downtown homesites; and Drees custom homes begin at $1M and up. Collection availability and open homesites shift as a community sells through, so the exact lineup on any given week is worth confirming before you plan a visit.

Homes & floor plans

The homes at Heritage Green are single-family, and across the collections they currently run from 2 to 4 bedrooms and roughly 1,692 to 3,436 finished square feet. The defining variable is the collection, because each sits on a different homesite width: the Cottage Collection on 40-foot lots (now sold out), the Classic Collection on 50-foot lots, and the Signature Collection on 65-foot downtown homesites. That spread lets a buyer match the home to the lot they actually want rather than accepting a single fixed footprint.

Notable, verified features track the collection. The Classic Collection is built with energy-efficient construction and alley-load garages, which pull the garage off the front elevation and put the home's face on the street. Quick move-in inventory is available with completion dates in the July-through-October 2026 range, which is useful if you need to move on a defined schedule rather than wait out a full build. At the top of the range, Drees Homes offers custom homes starting at $1M and up for buyers who want to design from the ground up.

Specific floor plans, standard features, and homesite availability change by collection and by builder, so treat the figures above as the shape of the community rather than a fixed menu. David Weekley publishes its current Classic, Signature, and Cottage plans on its official community pages, and Drees publishes its Heritage Green offerings on its site; we pull the live plans, square footage, and pricing for you and line them up side by side so you can compare across builders before you decide.

Amenities & community life

Heritage Green is a Homeowners Association community, and its day-to-day appeal leans heavily on its setting inside Columbia rather than on a single resort-style amenity center. Local shopping is close at hand, and downtown Columbia — with its historic square, restaurants, and civic landmarks — sits nearby, putting everyday errands and a walkable historic district within easy reach of the community.

For recreation, the surrounding area is the draw. The Duck River Recreation Area is accessible for paddling and riverside time, Maury County Park and the Ridley Sports Complex provide ballfields and open space, and there are golf courses within about five miles of the community. The President James K. Polk Home and Museum, one of Columbia's signature historic sites, is also nearby. Confirm the current HOA scope and any community-specific amenities with us, since those can vary by collection and by phase.

Location, access & schools

Heritage Green is positioned for the commuter and the relocating buyer alike. The community sits with I-65 access, the interstate spine that runs north into the Nashville metro and south toward Huntsville, so reaching Brentwood, Cool Springs, and downtown Nashville is a straight shot up the corridor. Closer in, downtown Columbia's historic square, local shopping, Maury County Park, the Ridley Sports Complex, and the Duck River Recreation Area are all part of the everyday radius, and golf courses sit within roughly five miles.

The community is in the Maury County Public Schools district. Heritage Green is zoned to Randolph Howell Elementary School, Cox Middle School, and Battle Creek High School. School zoning and boundaries can change, so confirm the current assignment for a specific homesite with the district and with us before you write an offer.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move week to week, so before you write an offer, confirm the load-bearing facts with us. That means current pricing and any active incentives (Heritage Green has advertised up to $20,000 in savings, valid through July 1, 2026 — the kind of promotion that changes on its own schedule), the collection and phase that is actually open, which quick move-in homes are still available and their completion dates, the specific homesite width and dimensions, and the HOA dues and what they cover. We pull the live numbers directly so you are working from today's figures, not a cached listing.

Builder rosters and open collections also shift as a community sells through — the Cottage Collection, for example, has already sold out — so verify which builder and collection are available for the home you want before you plan a trip. We tour these communities constantly and can tell you what is genuinely available right now.

Floor plans by collection

The Signature Collection, David Weekley's downtown-adjacent offering on 65-foot homesites, currently publishes four named floor plans — The Graystone, The Southworth, The Meadows, and The Denbrook — running roughly 2,198 to 3,436 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3 full baths, and a 2-car garage, priced from the $499,990s. That is a step up in both lot width and price from the Classic Collection's 50-foot homesites, which start from $416,990 and lean on alley-load garages to keep the street-facing elevation clean. The now-sold-out Cottage Collection occupied the 40-foot homesites closest to wetlands on the property and priced from $373,990, so it stands as a useful reference point for how the community's pricing has moved as it has built out. As with any active community, ask us to confirm which specific plans, elevations, and homesites are open in each collection before you tour — David Weekley releases and retires plans as sections sell.

Commute & location specifics

Columbia sits along the I-65 corridor south of Nashville, and multiple relocation sources place it at roughly 45–46 miles from downtown Nashville, with Spring Hill about 30 miles from Nashville and Franklin about 20 miles from Nashville along the same route — meaning Heritage Green is the farthest-out of the three from Music City, but also the most affordable entry point for someone willing to make that drive. Columbia does not sit directly on I-65 itself; the city connects to the interstate via U.S. 31 and Highway 412, so factor a short connector drive into any commute estimate rather than assuming interstate frontage. For day-to-day life, the Signature Collection's downtown-adjacent homesites put the historic Town Square, Main Street, and the Maury County Courthouse within easy reach, and David Weekley's own marketing for Heritage Green describes easy access to I-65 and the Franklin business district, including the Cool Springs and Berry Farms Town Center retail corridors in Williamson County for anyone commuting north for shopping or work.

For healthcare, Maury Regional Medical Center — a 255-bed hospital at 1224 Trotwood Avenue in Columbia — is the area's flagship facility and is affiliated with Vanderbilt Health. For families, the aMuse'um Children's Museum sits on Columbia's historic square at 123 West 7th Street, a short drive from Heritage Green. We can pull current drive-time estimates from a specific homesite to your workplace before you tour.

Growth context & property taxes

Maury County has been one of the fastest-growing counties in Tennessee. The U.S. Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program put the county's growth rate at roughly 2.4% for 2023–2024, and the Maury Alliance (the county's chamber/economic-development organization) has documented the broader trend in its reporting on the county's growth. Columbia, the county seat, grew from 41,994 residents at the 2020 Census to an estimated population in the low-50,000s range in more recent yearly estimates — figures that move every year, so treat any specific number as a snapshot rather than a fixed fact, and pull the current Census QuickFacts page for Maury County before you cite a number yourself. We can't predict where home prices or growth rates go from here; we can only point you to the dated, sourced data as of when you're looking.

On property taxes: Columbia is inside Maury County, so owners inside the city limits pay both a city and a county property tax bill, per the City of Columbia's own property tax page. Tennessee taxes are billed as a rate per $100 of assessed value, and assessed value for a residential property is 25% of appraised value. The city and county both certify their own rates annually, and the City Council approved its FY2026–2027 budget without a property-tax increase, according to city budget reporting. Because certified rates and any reappraisal-driven adjustments change year to year, get the exact current city and county rates from the Maury County Assessor's office (6 Public Square, Columbia, TN 38401, 931-375-4001) or the Tennessee Comptroller's certified tax rate page before you build a monthly-payment estimate — we're glad to pull those figures with you.

HOA & what it covers

Heritage Green operates under a mandatory Homeowners Association, confirmed on both David Weekley's and Drees's community pages, but the builders' public marketing pages do not post a dues figure — that's normal for an active new-construction community, since dues are typically set or adjusted as the HOA turns over from developer to homeowner control. Before you write an offer, ask us to pull the current HOA dues, what they cover (common-area landscaping, entrances, and amenities are typical in comparable Columbia communities), and whether dues differ by collection, since the Classic, Signature, and (former) Cottage sections were built at different price points and may carry different assessments.

Commute & location specifics

Columbia sits along the I-65 corridor south of Nashville. Per Google Maps routing (checked 2026), it runs roughly 45–46 miles from downtown Nashville to Columbia, about 30 miles from Nashville to Spring Hill, and about 20 miles from Nashville to Franklin along the same corridor — meaning Heritage Green is the farthest-out of the three from Music City, but also the most affordable entry point for someone willing to make that drive.
