Forest Park

Forest Park is a new-construction community taking shape on Sandersville Road in Hendersonville, and at the moment it's mostly a story told in city records rather than model homes. The April 7, 2026 Hendersonville Planning Commission agenda shows a Phase 2 preliminary plat alongside a Phase 1, Section 1 final plat — the paperwork stage where a community is being laid out and the first section is getting cleared to build. So here's the honest version: there's real movement and a place on the map. There just isn't much published yet — the builder hasn't been confirmed in the city record — and I'd rather tell you that straight than dress up a coming-soon plat as a finished neighborhood.

Where it sits

The address is 1685 Sandersville Road in Hendersonville, which puts you in Sumner County, directly northeast of Nashville and within reach of Old Hickory Lake's southern shore — the combination of close-in commuting and lakeside town that Hendersonville has built its identity on. Sandersville Road is inside the city, not out on the rural edge, so this is brand-new construction within Hendersonville proper rather than a far-out subdivision you drive into town from. If the exact pocket matters to you — what's walkable, what the drive to your office actually looks like — that's worth pinning down before you fall for a floor plan, and it's the kind of thing we'll drive with you.

The homes here

The builder and owner of record aren't yet confirmed in the city record, and we'll add them here once they're published. Beyond that, the specifics aren't public yet either. Home types, floor plans, square footage, lot sizes, and pricing haven't appeared in the city record, which is normal for a community still moving through platting. As the first section is finalized, the developer typically publishes its plan lineup and a starting price — but until that's actually posted, I won't put numbers in your head that the record can't back up. Confirm the current builder and availability with us.

Who it fits

On what's known today, Forest Park is geared toward buyers who want brand-new construction while staying inside Hendersonville and close to the lake-town lifestyle and the northeast-of-Nashville commute. Early-platting communities also tend to suit people who are comfortable buying into something still being built — choosing a lot and a plan before the streets and neighbors fill in, in exchange for getting in at the start. If that's the kind of timeline you're after, this is exactly the stage to be watching it.

What to verify before you buy here

Because this community is early, the smart moves are mostly about confirming what isn't on paper yet. Put your investor hat on and check these:

• Phasing and build-out timeline — Phase 1, Section 1 is what's being finalized first; ask which lots are in it and when each later phase is expected to deliver.
• Current pricing and availability — none is published in the city record yet, so get the developer's actual starting price and what's releasing, not an estimate.
• Lot details — exact lot, dimensions, grade, drainage, and what backs up to your homesite, since Phase 2 is still preliminary.
• HOA structure and dues — whether there's an association, what it covers, and the budget, before you're committed.
• Builder contract terms — the developer's standard agreement, warranty, what's included versus an upgrade, and any lender or timeline conditions.
• School assignment and any future road or plat changes — confirm the current zoning directly with Sumner County Schools and the city rather than assuming, since boundaries and plans can shift while a community is still platting.

The approved master plan, from the city record

Forest Park has a longer paper trail than most coming-soon communities, and it's worth knowing before you get attached to the name. Hendersonville's Board of Mayor and Aldermen rezoned the roughly 260-acre Jenkins Farm property along Saundersville Road from Estate Residential to Suburban Residential – Planned Development in October 2018, and unanimously approved a final development plan on September 28, 2021 for 626 homes on 263 acres — a mix of 464 single-family homes, 104 attached cottages, and 58 two-unit villas, including a section of one-story homes aimed at empty-nesters (Hendersonville Standard / Main Street Media of Tennessee, Sept. 28, 2021). That 2021 approval is the master plan; the plat activity we're tracking now on the April 2026 agenda is the neighborhood actually being built out section by section against it. The plan also calls for 36 acres of parkland dedicated to the city, a required trailhead, and Phase II amenities including an outdoor pool, a pavilion with a party room and restrooms, an outdoor kitchen, a splash pad, a playground, and food truck parking — all on the master plan, not yet built, and belonging to a later phase than what's platting today.

Who's building it, as of the latest filing

The April 7, 2026 Hendersonville Planning Commission agenda lists the owner of record for both the Phase 2 preliminary plat (case SUB-007151-2026) and the Phase 1, Section 1 final plat (case SUB-007154-2026) as Jen TN 2 LLC (Beazer Homes LLC), at parcel 137 038.00, 1685 Sandersville Rd (Hendersonville Planning Commission agenda, April 7, 2026). That's the current builder/owner tie in the public record — the earlier 2021 approval credited developer TN HomeSites with taking the project through rezoning and final plan. Ownership and builder assignments on a project this size can shift between the master-plan stage and vertical construction, so we treat this as the latest confirmed record, not a permanent fact, and we'll update it here the moment anything changes. As part of the 2021 approval, the developer also agreed to pay the city $3,500 per lot toward Saundersville Road improvements as building permits are issued — a developer-to-city infrastructure contribution, not a buyer fee, but a signal the city expects meaningful traffic from over 600 homes landing on that corridor.

Plans can change — we confirm current status before you commit

Everything above comes from the city's own record — a 2021 final development plan and an April 2026 planning agenda — but plans on a multi-phase, multi-year project like this do get amended, re-sequenced, or re-owned between approval and move-in. The unit mix, amenity list, and builder tied to Phase 2 today could look different by the time your section actually plats and starts vertical construction. Treat every number here as "last confirmed as of the cited filing," not a promise, and let us pull the current status before you get financially attached to a specific plan.
