The Cottages at Patterson Farms

The Cottages at Patterson Farms is a Goodall Homes courtyard-cottage neighborhood at 1015 Westgate Drive in Gallatin, planned for 62 attached homes with construction that began around 2020. The idea behind it is straightforward — compact, low-maintenance single-level living close to downtown Gallatin, built around courtyard-cottage layouts rather than big lots and big yards. One thing we'll say plainly up front: as of mid-2026 the community no longer appears on Goodall's active Gallatin community list, so whether there's any new construction still selling here is an open question, and it's the first thing we'd confirm for you before you get attached to it.

Where it sits

The community is at 1015 Westgate Drive in Gallatin, the Sumner County seat on the north side of the Nashville metro, inside Sumner County's broader Old Hickory Lake geography. The draw of a location like this is proximity — close to downtown Gallatin's everyday services rather than a subdivision dropped onto raw land out at the edge of the county. We'd confirm the specific drive times for your own routine — to Hendersonville, to the lake, or toward the interstate and Nashville — before you lean on any of them, because the right commute is the one that fits your week, not a number off a map.

The homes here

The product here is the defining feature — courtyard cottages, attached homes built around a courtyard-cottage design rather than detached houses on individual lots. Published cottage square footage runs roughly 1,411 to 2,107 square feet, which puts these firmly in the compact, lower-maintenance category. The builder is Goodall Homes, a longtime Sumner County name. Beyond the square-footage range and the courtyard-cottage format, the record doesn't carry confirmed current floor plans, bed and bath counts, lot details, or amenities — and we'd rather tell you that than fill the gap with a spec sheet that may no longer apply to a community at this stage.

Who it fits

On its design alone, a courtyard-cottage community like this tends to suit buyers who want less house and yard to take care of — single-level, lower-maintenance living near the core of Gallatin rather than acreage to mow. Think convenience and low upkeep over square footage and land. Whether it genuinely fits you, though, depends on what's actually available to buy, which is exactly why the status question comes first.

What to verify before you buy here

Because this community's current new-construction status is uncertain, the right move is to confirm what's real before you form any expectation. A few things worth pinning down:

• Status first — the community no longer appears on Goodall's active Gallatin list as of mid-2026. Confirm directly with the builder whether any new construction is still selling here, or whether this is now an established, resale-only neighborhood.
• Pricing — any starting prices floating around are several years old and should not be treated as current. Get builder-published pricing in writing if new homes exist, or current resale comps if they don't.
• Floor plans and home specs — confirm the actual plans, bed and bath counts, and what's included against the published 1,411 to 2,107 square-foot range before forming a view of value.
• HOA structure and what maintenance is actually covered — central to whether an attached courtyard cottage delivers the low-upkeep lifestyle the design implies. Get the dues and the covered scope in writing.
• The specific unit and its courtyard placement — in an attached, compact community, which home you're in, what shares your walls, and what sits next to your courtyard matter more than usual.

How this fits into the larger Patterson Farms neighborhood

The Cottages is a distinct phase inside the larger Patterson Farms subdivision, not a stand-alone neighborhood. Patterson Farms as a whole sits off Clear Lake Meadows Boulevard near the Highway 109 Bypass and Vietnam Veterans Parkway corridor in Gallatin, with streets including Bluestone Drive, Coates Lane, Westgate Drive, and Foston Lane, and was built out mostly between 2018 and 2022 by Goodall Homes with a mix of single-family homes and a section of attached brick townhomes (source: Goodall Homes community materials and Sumner County broker listings, compiled 2026). The Cottages phase, introduced by Goodall Homes on June 23, 2020 via the builder's own announcement, is the attached, one-level-living product within that larger footprint. Worth knowing before you assume anything about lifestyle here: the broader Patterson Farms subdivision includes a family-oriented pool and playground, so don't assume every section of Patterson Farms carries the same rules or resident mix as the Cottages specifically — we'd confirm section-by-section.

Location and commute

The address on record is 1015 Westgate Drive in Gallatin, off the Highway 109 Bypass near its junction with Vietnam Veterans Parkway — a corridor that puts you within a few minutes of Historic Downtown Gallatin and Old Hickory Lake rather than out on raw land at the edge of the county (source: Goodall Homes, Jan. 25, 2021 community post). One dated fact worth flagging for anyone weighing long-term commute plans in this corridor: TDOT has a roughly $130 million project underway for the eastern end of Vietnam Veterans Parkway near Long Hollow Pike, with design work that started in fall 2024, right-of-way acquisition targeted for spring 2028, and construction targeted for spring 2031 (source: Hoodline, May 7, 2026, citing TDOT). That's years out and doesn't tell you anything about home values — but it's a real, dated project in the same corridor, and it's the kind of thing we'd walk through with you if road access and future construction timing matter to your decision.

Builders and floor plans on record

Goodall Homes is a longtime Sumner County builder that has run several similar attached cottage and villa communities in the area, including The Knoll at Fairvue Cottages and The Villas at Foxland Crossing in Gallatin and Millstone in Hendersonville, all marketed alongside the Cottages at Patterson Farms in the builder's own January 2021 post as part of the same one-level, low-maintenance product line. Aggregator listings (NewHomeSource, 55places, and New Homes Directory) name four floor plans historically offered here — the Ashleigh, the Raleigh, the Everleigh, and the Waverly — with two bedrooms, two to three bathrooms, and a two-car garage across the published 1,411 to 2,107 square-foot range. We're treating these plan names as historical record rather than a current, confirmed offering, since the community's builder-side listing status has since changed (see below).

Reported amenities and HOA — needs direct confirmation

Third-party aggregator listings for the Cottages describe a private community pool, a patio area, and a playground, with an HOA that historically covered lawn maintenance so residents weren't mowing individual yards. Broker listings for the broader Patterson Farms subdivision report HOA dues varying by section, roughly $62 to $235 a month depending on whether a home is in a single-family or attached-home section, with higher-fee sections covering exterior maintenance, grounds, insurance, and shared amenities (source: Sumner County broker aggregator sites, compiled 2026). We have not been able to confirm a specific HOA management company name or current dues for the Cottages section specifically, and dues on any HOA can change — get the actual budget, reserve study, and covered scope in writing from the HOA or management company before you rely on any number here.

An age-restriction claim we can't confirm — flagging it, not asserting it

Some retirement-community aggregator sites (55places and a related active-adult directory) list the Cottages at Patterson Farms as a 55+ age-restricted community. We're not able to confirm that against Goodall Homes' own materials — the builder's original 2020 announcement and 2021 blog post describe it only as one-level, low-maintenance living with no age-restriction language, and the same aggregator content that calls it 55+ also mentions a playground for family members, which doesn't fit a typical age-restricted deed. Given that direct conflict in the record, we're treating the 55+ label as unconfirmed rather than repeating it as fact. If age-restriction status matters to your decision — either because you want it or need to avoid it — this is a must-confirm item with the HOA or a title search of the recorded declaration, not something to take from any marketing site, including this one.

Pricing context — historical only

Goodall Homes' own January 25, 2021 blog post listed a starting price of $249,990 for the Cottages at Patterson Farms. That figure is now more than five years old and reflects 2021 construction and material costs, not anything current — we're not going to guess what a comparable new home would cost today, and we wouldn't trust any aggregator site's current "starting price" for this community either, since the record shows the builder-side listing has moved to a sold-out status (see below). If new construction is happening here at all today, current pricing needs to come from Goodall Homes directly or from an active listing, not from historical marketing copy.

Current listing status, as we found it

As of our research, New Homes Directory's listing page for the Cottages at Patterson Farms shows the community marked "Sold Out," with limited additional detail. That's consistent with the community no longer appearing on Goodall's own active Gallatin community list. Taken together, the record points toward this being a completed, built-out phase now selling only as resale rather than active new construction — but "sold out" on one directory isn't the same as a builder confirming there's zero remaining inventory or that a later phase isn't planned, so we're stopping short of calling this fully closed until we hear it from the builder directly.

Schools

This address falls within Sumner County Schools. We don't rate or recommend specific schools ourselves — for performance data and reviews, GreatSchools.org and the state report card at tn.gov/education are independent places to look. Attendance zone boundaries are set by the district and can change, so confirm the current assigned schools for 1015 Westgate Drive directly with Sumner County Schools (sumnerschools.org) before you buy, rather than relying on any zone map you find online.
