Nexus - Village Collection

The Village Collection at a glance

The Village Collection is David Weekley Homes' 50-foot-homesite neighborhood inside Nexus, the roughly 655-acre master-planned community rising at Highway 109 and Albert Gallatin Avenue on the north side of Gallatin. It is the newest of the community's single-family collections and, as of mid-2026, the one still fully in its selling window: single-family homes of 2,117 to 3,058 square feet, three to four bedrooms, priced from the mid-$400,000s into the low $500,000s. If the townhomes are Nexus's entry point and the Park Collection its 40-foot mid-range, the Village Collection is where the community's largest single-family floor plans live.

Context matters here, because the Village Collection is not a standalone subdivision — it is one of five collections currently selling inside a live-work-play master plan that opened in 2023 and is still actively building. Nexus pairs its residential villages with an approved regional business park, up to 900 future apartments, and 1.1 million square feet of planned commercial space, all under master developer Kolter Land. Buying a Village Collection home means buying into that larger plan, with everything it implies: a built amenity campus and possible future retail on one hand, years of surrounding construction on the other. This page covers the Village Collection specifically; Nexus North, Nexus South, the Park Collection, and the Nexus Townhomes each get their own treatment on their own pages.

Where the Village Collection sits in the Nexus master plan

Nexus is developed by KL Nexus TN LLC, managed by Kolter Land, a division of The Kolter Group. The City of Gallatin lists the site at 654 +/- acres at Highway 109 and Albert Gallatin Avenue, north of Red River Road, with an approved residential program of roughly 1,351 single-family and multifamily dwellings plus up to 900 apartment units and 1,100,000 square feet of commercial and office space. At the May 2023 announcement, Kolter projected a buildout value of over $2 billion, with residential buildout in roughly five years and commercial in roughly ten; the plans included 124 acres of commercial, a grocery store, office, retail, and a limited-service hotel.

The for-sale residential currently breaks into five selling collections, and knowing the ladder shows you exactly where the Village Collection fits:

• Nexus Townhomes — a 170-homesite townhome section where David Weekley Homes is the builder currently selling; two-story townhomes of roughly 1,665-1,685 square feet, currently priced about $299,990-$333,990. Now selling; the community's entry point.
• Nexus South (D.R. Horton's Freedom Series) — the gated 55-plus village; one-story homes and paired villas from $316,990, with its own exclusive 13-acre amenity campus. Actively selling; age-qualified buyers only.
• Nexus North (D.R. Horton) — all-ages single-family from $384,990; in final opportunities as of July 2026.
• Park Collection (David Weekley Homes) — 40-foot homesites from $429,990; also in final opportunities, with only a few new homes still available.
• Village Collection (David Weekley Homes) — 50-foot homesites, mid-$400Ks to low-$500Ks, now selling. The subject of this page.

Beyond the homes, the City of Gallatin's development tracker shows where the rest of the plan stands: the first 300-unit apartment phase is under construction, a second 300-unit phase is approved, and Phase 1 of the Nexus Planned Business Park (about 45 acres) is approved. No commercial developer had committed to the retail program at announcement, so treat the grocery store, restaurants, and hotel as planned rather than promised — and on the developer's roughly ten-year commercial timeline, not your move-in date.

The builder and the homes

David Weekley Homes, founded in Houston in 1976, is one of the largest privately held homebuilders in the country and builds three products at Nexus: the townhomes, the 40-foot Park Collection, and the 50-foot Village Collection. The 50-foot homesite is the practical distinction — a wider lot carries a wider house — and it is why the Village Collection holds the largest single-family square footage in the community, topping out at 3,058 square feet against the Park Collection's roughly 2,370.

Two Village Collection plans are independently verifiable from published sources as of July 2026: the Ginger, from $438,990 — three bedrooms, two baths, 2,117 square feet, two-car garage — and the Satinwood, from $463,990 — four bedrooms, two and a half baths, 2,676 square feet, two-car garage. The published range for the collection runs to 3,058 square feet and into the low $500,000s, so larger plans exist beyond those two. One honest caveat: builder plan lineups shift as sections release, and the master developer's own builder page has at times shown a different mix of Weekley models than the aggregator listings, so confirm the current plan sheet at the model before anchoring on any one floor plan. Models at Nexus are open daily.

On incentives: as of mid-2026, David Weekley advertised financing rates as low as 4.99% on select homes, plus its Hometown Heroes program for medical personnel, firefighters, police, military, and teachers. Builder incentives are dated offers that change monthly and typically require the builder's affiliated lender — read the fine print, compare the terms against an outside lender's quote, and treat any advertised rate as a starting point for the conversation, not a given.

Amenities and HOA

Village Collection residents use the North Village Amenity Center, a six-acre campus with a clubhouse, game room, resort-style and lap pool, and playgrounds. David Weekley's own marketing fills in the detail: a beach-entry pool with a sun shelf, chairs, and bubblers, a yoga lawn, a large playground, an event lawn, and a game lawn. An eight-foot-wide community trail system runs along the main throughways and interconnects with a ten-foot greenway trail. One boundary worth knowing before you tour: the larger 13-acre Freedom Village Amenity Center — the 10,000-plus-square-foot clubhouse, fitness center, and pickleball, tennis, and bocce courts — is exclusive to the gated 55-plus Nexus South village. A Village Collection buyer is buying the North campus, not that one.

Nexus is a deed-restricted HOA community, and here is the honest gap in the public record: the Village Collection's specific dues are not published anywhere we can verify. The nearest benchmark is the same builder's Park Collection next door, which publishes $1,932 in annual dues plus a $300 transfer fee and an $800 capital fund contribution at purchase. Community-wide, listing data shows HOA fees running from roughly $55 to $411 per month depending on section and product type — lower for all-ages single-family, higher for the 55-plus village and attached products. Get the exact Village Collection dues, the transfer and capital-fund figures, and a copy of the CC&Rs in writing at the model before you contract; we pull those documents for our buyers as part of due diligence.

Location, commute, and utilities

Nexus fronts Highway 109 (Albert Arnold Gore Sr. Memorial Highway) at Albert Gallatin Avenue, north of Red River Road. The published drive-time anchors: about 30 miles and roughly 30 to 40 minutes to downtown Nashville — the route runs Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (TN-386) to TN-174 to TN-109 — about 10 minutes to Gallatin's historic square, and TriStar Sumner Medical Center within a few miles. The Highway 109 frontage cuts both ways: it is the reason the commute works and the reason a business park and apartments were approved here, so expect an arterial corridor at the community's edge rather than a buried-in-the-countryside setting.

Old Hickory Lake is minutes away, with public boating and fishing access in Gallatin — but be precise about what that means: there is no private lake access, marina, or lakefront lot inside Nexus. On utilities, the community is served by City of Gallatin water, sewer, and electric, with underground utilities standard throughout and AT&T fiber available for internet; confirm fiber availability at your specific homesite before closing.

Schools

Nexus is zoned to Sumner County Schools. Builder pages list Howard Elementary School, Joe Shafer Middle School, and Gallatin Senior High School, but some listing sources show Benny C. Bills Elementary or Union Elementary for certain addresses — elementary zoning genuinely varies by address within this community, so verify the current assignment for any specific homesite directly with Sumner County Schools before you buy. We don't rate or endorse schools; for performance data, the Tennessee State Report Card at tn.gov/education and GreatSchools are the right places to look.

The honest buyer's read

What the Village Collection has going for it is specific: the widest single-family homesites and largest floor plans in a master plan whose core amenities are already built, from a builder still fully selling rather than closing out, at a band — mid-$400Ks to low-$500Ks — that buys a brand-new 2,100-to-3,000-square-foot home in Sumner County. The trailing-twelve-month market data across all of Nexus adds context: 193 closed sales at a median of $409,990, a sold range of $294,900 to $635,000, and a median of about $226 per square foot. Village Collection pricing sits in the upper half of that community-wide band — you are paying for the biggest lot-and-house product Nexus offers, in a community whose median is set partly by smaller townhomes and 55-plus villas. That is context for reading comps, not a prediction about values.

• The construction horizon is real. Residential was projected at roughly five years from 2023 and commercial at roughly ten, with 600 apartments and a business park in the approved plan. The eventual payoff is walkable retail and services; the interim is construction traffic and dirt. Buy for the finished plan only if your timeline tolerates the unfinished one.
• The planned commercial — grocery, retail, hotel — had no committed developer at announcement. Weigh it as upside, not as a feature you have already bought.
• Sibling-collection timing matters. The Park Collection is in final opportunities: if a 40-foot homesite at a somewhat lower price point would do the job, that window is closing. Nexus North's homes from $384,990 are also in final opportunities, so the all-ages alternatives inside the community are narrowing.
• The Village Collection's HOA dues are not publicly published. Get the number, plus transfer and capital-fund fees, in writing before you contract — not after.
• This is an HOA-governed, arterial-adjacent, master-planned setting. If what you actually want is acreage, mature trees, or no covenants, this is the wrong product — and we will tell you that on the phone rather than sell you into it.

Nexus Village Collection FAQ

Is the Village Collection age-restricted?

No. The only age-qualified section of Nexus is Nexus South, D.R. Horton's gated Freedom Series village for ages 55 and up. The Village Collection — along with the Park Collection, the townhomes, and Nexus North — is open to buyers of any age.

How is the Village Collection different from the Park Collection?

Same builder, different lot and different stage. The Park Collection sits on 40-foot homesites with plans from 1,868 to about 2,370 square feet, priced from $429,990, and is in final opportunities. The Village Collection sits on 50-foot homesites with plans from 2,117 to 3,058 square feet, priced from the mid-$400Ks into the low $500Ks, and is still fully selling. In short: the Village Collection is the wider-lot, larger-plan, later-phase product.

What does a Village Collection home cost?

As of July 2026, published pricing runs from the mid-$400,000s to the low $500,000s. The two independently verifiable plan starts are the Ginger at $438,990 (3 bed, 2 bath, 2,117 square feet) and the Satinwood at $463,990 (4 bed, 2.5 bath, 2,676 square feet). New-construction pricing moves with lot releases and incentives, so treat these numbers as the shape of the band and confirm the current price sheet before you tour.

What are the HOA dues in the Village Collection?

Not publicly published — that is the straight answer. The closest published benchmark is the Park Collection, the same builder's neighboring section, at $1,932 per year plus a $300 transfer fee and an $800 capital fund contribution; community-wide listing data shows $55 to $411 per month across all Nexus products. Confirm the Village Collection's exact figure at the model and get it in writing, along with the CC&Rs, before you sign.

Which amenities come with a Village Collection home?

The six-acre North Village Amenity Center: clubhouse, game room, resort-style and lap pool with beach entry, playgrounds, yoga lawn, event and game lawns, plus the community's eight-foot trail system connecting to a ten-foot greenway. The 13-acre Freedom Village campus — with the fitness center, pickleball, tennis, and bocce — belongs exclusively to the gated 55-plus Nexus South village and is not included.

Does using a buyer's agent on a new David Weekley home cost me anything?

Often little or no cost, because the seller usually covers it (negotiated, not automatic after the 2024 NAR changes). The builder's sales counselor works for the builder; your agent works for you — comparing plans across the Nexus collections, reading the incentive and lender terms, arranging pre-drywall and final inspections, and managing contract to close. One practical note: builder registration policies can require your agent to accompany or register you on the first visit, so bring us in before you tour the model, not after.
