Arcadia (incl. Arcadia Estates)

Arcadia, together with Arcadia Estates, is a boutique luxury single-family community in Brentwood, Tennessee. It pairs a small, curated feel with builds from three established builders, set among estate-sized homesites roughly 30 minutes south of Nashville. If you want a new-construction luxury home in one of Williamson County's most established addresses, Arcadia is worth a close look — and because we tour Brentwood's new-construction communities constantly, we can help you find the right fit and navigate the build at little or no cost to you.

The builders and the homes

Arcadia and Arcadia Estates bring together three builders: Drees Homes, CastleRock Communities, and Partners in Building. The homes are luxury, custom-oriented single-family residences — typically four or more bedrooms and four or more bathrooms, with floor plans that have been reported in the upper-3,000-to-5,000-plus-square-foot range. Square footage, builder lineups, plan availability, and which builder is active on a given homesite can shift as the community sells, so confirm the current options with us before you fall in love with a specific plan.

Across the available plans, you'll find finishes and features that fit the luxury positioning: extended chef's kitchens with butler's pantries, living rooms with dramatic fireplaces, and main-level primary suites with spa-inspired baths. Select plans offer dual owner's suites, and secondary bedrooms are designed as suites with private en-suite baths. Many homes include three-car side-entry garages and covered patios with outdoor kitchen prep space, plus smart home technology and energy-efficient construction. Which of these are standard versus upgrade varies by builder and plan — we'll help you sort out exactly what's included before you sign.

Amenities and day-to-day living

Arcadia is built around the homes and the lots rather than a large resort-style amenity center. You'll find sidewalks throughout, estate-sized homesites, and covered patios that extend living outdoors. The community sits in a Williamson County location with proximity to parks, dining, and shopping, roughly 30 minutes south of Nashville. Day to day, the appeal here is space and setting — generous lots in an established part of Brentwood.

Homesites are reported to run from roughly half an acre to over an acre, and several back to woods or sit on cul-de-sacs. Exact lot sizes vary by homesite, so we'll confirm the specifics for any lot you're weighing. If a private, wooded backdrop or a cul-de-sac lot matters to you, ask us which homesites currently offer that — lot inventory changes as the community sells.

Location and getting around

Arcadia is in Brentwood, in Williamson County, with parks, dining, and shopping nearby and Nashville to the north. Rather than quote a drive time we can't stand behind, we'll tell you to clock it yourself: drive the route to your office, school, or the places you go most, at your real departure time on a normal weekday. Brentwood commutes can vary a lot by time of day, so a Tuesday-at-8 a.m. test run will tell you far more than any estimate. We're happy to suggest the routes worth testing while you're in town.

Who it fits

Arcadia tends to suit buyers who want a luxury new-construction home on a larger lot in an established Brentwood setting, with the option to work directly with a custom-oriented builder. The estate-sized homesites, three-car garages, and covered outdoor living spaces fit those who value room to spread out — indoors and out — over a dense, amenity-heavy layout. Buyers drawn to main-level primary suites, dual owner's suites on select plans, or en-suite secondary bedrooms will find plans built around those preferences. As with any community, the right fit comes down to your priorities — walk it with us and we'll tell you candidly whether it lines up.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing — new-construction pricing moves fast and varies by builder, plan, and lot, so we'll pull live numbers for the specific plan and homesite you're considering rather than rely on a figure that may be out of date.
• HOA dues and what they cover — confirm the amount, the billing frequency, and exactly which services and common areas are included.
• Lot specifics — size, orientation, whether it backs to woods or sits on a cul-de-sac, drainage, and any premiums tied to the homesite.
• Builder warranty and included-versus-upgrade items — get clear, in writing, on what's standard versus an upgrade for your chosen builder and plan.
• Construction timeline — current build stage, estimated completion, and how phasing affects availability.
• Your real commute — clock the drive to the places you go most, at the times you'd actually be driving.

Exactly where Arcadia sits

Arcadia and Arcadia Estates sit off Ragsdale Road in Brentwood, with model and sales activity reported at addresses along Dartmouth Drive and Loyola Drive (as of 2026, per Drees Homes and CastleRock Communities community pages). The area is generally reached from I-65 Exit 71 onto Concord Road, then Wilson Pike, then Split Log Road toward Ragsdale Road — a routing reported by third-party aggregators rather than confirmed by us turn-by-turn, so treat it as a starting point and verify the exact route to a specific homesite with us or the builder's sales office before you drive out. As always, we'd rather you clock your own real commute than rely on a written description of the route.

Floor plans and price points by builder (reported)

Specific plan names and pricing have been published by builder marketing and listing aggregators and give a sense of what's on offer, though builders add, retire, and reprice plans as a community sells — treat every number below as a starting point to verify, not a live quote. Drees Homes has marketed the Ballentine (reported from $2,115,900, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, about 3,895 square feet, a one-level Universal Design plan) and the Elmsley (reported from $2,249,900, 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, about 4,538 square feet, a one-level ranch plan) at Arcadia, per NewHomeSource plan listings. CastleRock Communities (The Jones Company) has marketed the Laguna IV (reported from $1,700,990, 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, about 4,054 square feet, with two owner's suites — one on the main level, one upstairs) and the Pinehurst (reported from $1,900,990, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, about 4,201 square feet), per CastleRock's own community pages. Partners in Building has been reported building homes in the 4,761-to-5,176-square-foot range priced from roughly $2,300,000. Plan availability, pricing, and which builder is active on which homesite shift constantly — we'll pull the current lineup for you rather than let you shop off a stale plan name.

HOA — what's been reported and what to confirm

Third-party sources have reported an HOA for Arcadia in the range of roughly $2,500 per year, said to cover maintenance of common areas, entrance landscaping, and walking trails. We have not been able to confirm that figure directly against an HOA management company or a recorded declaration, and dues, structure, and coverage can differ between the Arcadia and Arcadia Estates sections and can change as the community builds out. Before you write an offer, we'll pull the actual HOA documents — the recorded covenants, the current budget, and the management company's contact information — so you're working from the real number, not a secondhand one.

Nearby parks and everyday errands

Brentwood's Crockett Park, with walking trails, sports fields, playgrounds, and pavilions, and Marcella Vivrette Smith Park, which adds further green space and trail connections, have both been cited as being within reach of the Arcadia area. CoolSprings Galleria and the broader Cool Springs retail corridor, along with the Brentwood Library, have also been cited as nearby conveniences. We'd rather you see the actual drive to each of these than take a written distance at face value — when you're in town, we can map out exactly which parks, grocery stores, and daily-errand stops are realistically part of your routine from a specific Arcadia homesite.

Schools — what to verify, not what to expect

Some third-party listing sites report Arcadia as zoned to Jordan Elementary, Sunset Middle, and Ravenwood High within Williamson County Schools. School zone lines in this part of Williamson County have been redrawn before as new schools have opened, and zoning is address-specific, not community-wide — a homesite in Arcadia Estates could conceivably fall on a different line than one in the original Arcadia section. We won't characterize any of these schools for you one way or another; that's not our call to make, and it's not information we can honestly generalize across an entire community. Pull the Williamson County Schools zoning tool and the current GreatSchools.org and Tennessee Department of Education report card for the exact address you're considering, and confirm zoning directly with Williamson County Schools before you count on it.

Property taxes — the numbers, not a prediction

As of the 2025-2026 fiscal year, Williamson County's property tax rate is $1.30 per $100 of assessed value, following the county's 2025 reassessment (Williamson County government, 2025 tax rate schedule). The City of Brentwood's rate has held at $0.19 per $100 for 35 consecutive years as of that same period (City of Brentwood). Combined, that puts the effective rate on a Brentwood home in Williamson County at roughly $1.49 per $100 of assessed value. Tennessee assesses residential property at 25% of appraised value, so the bill on any specific Arcadia home depends on its appraised value once construction is complete — we can walk through the actual math on a specific plan and lot, but we won't predict what future reassessments or rate changes might do to that number.

A note on recently reported activity

Third-party market trackers have reported recent closed sales in Arcadia in the low-$2 million to mid-$2 million range and a small number of active listings starting near $1.9 million, in data cited as of January 2026. We're not going to repeat a specific median or trend line here, because a handful of closed sales in a boutique luxury community can swing a reported median significantly from month to month, and we can't verify a third party's data pull against the MLS in real time. If you want current comps and a clear read on where recent Arcadia and Arcadia Estates sales have actually landed, ask us — we'll pull it directly.
