Legacy Farms

Legacy Farms is a D.R. Horton single-family community in White House, the small Sumner County town that sits about 30 minutes north of Nashville along I-65. The idea here is straightforward — a brand-new, low-maintenance home with a real amenity package, in a town that still feels like a town. As of June 2026 the community is at its final opportunities, which is worth knowing up front: at that stage the floor plans and homesites still available are whatever's left, not the full menu, so the move is to see what's actually standing before you commit to a plan on paper.

Where it sits

White House straddles the Sumner/Robertson county line along I-65, which is the practical reason a community like this gets built here — you get new-construction pricing and a quieter, small-town setting while keeping straightforward interstate access toward Nashville. The record puts the drive at about 30 minutes from the city. That said, a map estimate and the Tuesday-at-7:45 reality aren't always the same number, so we always tell buyers to drive their actual commute at their actual departure time before they sign.

The homes here

These are single-family homes from D.R. Horton, offered in one- and two-story configurations. Plans run 1,402 to 1,883 square feet with three to four bedrooms and two to two and a half baths, and every home comes with a two-car garage. Pricing starts from $339,990 — that's the builder-published from-price as of June 2026, so treat it as a starting point and confirm current numbers and what's actually available, since final-opportunity inventory and incentives move week to week. The design intent is low-maintenance living: newer systems, a manageable footprint, and a yard you can keep up with on a weekend.

Who it fits

The amenity package is what separates Legacy Farms from a plain subdivision. Residents share a resort-style pool, a fitness center, pickleball courts, walking trails dotted with benches, a fire pit gathering area, and a clubhouse with a kitchen and media room, and the streets are lit throughout. That set leans toward buyers who want their neighborhood to do some of the recreational and social lifting — you can swim, play pickleball, walk the trails, and host in the clubhouse without leaving home. Pair that with low-maintenance homes and an easy interstate commute, and it reads as a fit for anyone who wants a new build that's ready to live in, not a project.

What to verify before you buy here

This is the checklist we run with clients on any new-construction community. Most of it is verifiable from objective sources — you decide what fits; we help you pull the facts.

• Final-opportunity inventory — get the current list of available homes and homesites in writing, since what's shown online may already be spoken for at this stage.
• What the from-price actually buys — confirm which plan and homesite the advertised price maps to, and what the move-in-ready or quick-delivery homes are listed at versus a to-be-built.
• HOA dues and what they cover — the pool, fitness center, courts, trails, and clubhouse are funded by the association; get the monthly amount, what's included, and the rules for using and reserving the clubhouse.
• Amenity completion status — confirm which amenities are finished and open today versus still planned or under construction, and get any committed completion timeline in writing.
• Builder warranty and included features — read exactly what's standard versus an upgrade, and what the D.R. Horton warranty covers and for how long.
• Property taxes and any new-development assessments — get the current White House and Sumner County rate and ask whether any additional district or development fees apply.
• Lot specifics — orientation, drainage, and what backs up to the homesite, since a final-opportunity lot is what's left and the views and privacy vary.
• Your independent inspection — even on a brand-new home, having your own inspector walk it before closing catches things the final walkthrough misses.

The floor plans and what they run

As of D.R. Horton's current published lineup, Legacy Farms offers nine named plans — Arlington, Astor, Bowen, Bristol, Clifton, Desmond, Dover, Edmon, and Jennings — priced from the $341s to the $403s (NewHomeSource builder listing, accessed 2026-07). That's a wider and more current window than a single from-price suggests, and it's another reason to get the specific plan-and-lot combination in writing rather than anchoring on one number. At the final-opportunities stage, not every plan is still buildable — some names on that list may already be sold out of available homesites, so ask which plans are actually open before you fall for one on paper.

Who's building it

D.R. Horton is the sole builder at Legacy Farms. Founded in 1978 in Fort Worth, Texas by Donald R. Horton, the company has been the largest homebuilder by volume in the United States every year since 2002 and ranked No. 120 on the 2024 Fortune 500 (Fortune, D.R. Horton company profile). That scale cuts both ways for a buyer: production-builder pricing and consistent process on one hand, a standardized (not custom) plan set and finish package on the other. Neither is a knock — it's just what a national production builder is, and it's worth knowing which one you're dealing with before you compare it to a smaller local builder's community nearby.

White House itself

White House sits astride the Sumner and Robertson county line roughly 20 miles north of Nashville, and it's grown fast: the city's population reached an estimated 18,717 in 2026, up about 43% from the 13,087 counted in the 2020 Census (World Population Review, 2026 estimate). Local news has covered the trend directly — Fox 17 profiled White House as one of Middle Tennessee's fastest-growing suburbs, tying the growth to buyers priced out of Davidson County looking for new construction within commuting range (Fox 17 News, 'Small town, big boom'). Legacy Farms is one of several new subdivisions built to house that growth, not the only one — worth knowing if you're cross-shopping communities in town.

Schools: two districts serve this town

Because White House spans two counties, it's zoned by two separate school systems, and which one applies depends on which side of the line a specific address falls on. Sumner County Schools serves part of town with Harold B. Williams Elementary, White House Intermediate (opened August 2024 as the district's first intermediate school, serving grades 3-5), White House Middle School, and White House High School. Robertson County Schools serves the other side with Robert F. Woodall Primary School (K-2), White House Heritage School (grades 3-6), and White House Heritage High School (grades 7-12) (Sumner County Schools and Robertson County Schools district sites, 2024-2026). We don't rate or rank schools for you — check GreatSchools.org and the Tennessee Department of Education for current ratings and each district's official zoning tool for the exact address you're considering, since Legacy Farms' specific lots may zone to either district.

Commute and nearby conveniences

White House sits directly off I-65, and the straight-line drive to downtown Nashville runs about 25 miles, roughly a 31-minute drive under normal conditions; Nashville International Airport (BNA) is a bit farther at about 29 miles, roughly 39 minutes (Travelmath and Rome2Rio drive-time estimates). For everyday errands, there's a Kroger at 2747 Highway 31W and a Cracker Barrel at 370 Hester Drive, both in White House proper (Kroger.com and Cracker Barrel store locators). As with any drive-time estimate, treat these as a starting point — actual commute time depends on which Nashville job center you're headed to and what time you leave, so drive it yourself before you commit.
