Fairington (formerly Storyvale)

Fairington is a master-planned community taking shape at McFarlin and Fly roads in Nolensville, Tennessee. Renamed from Storyvale in January 2025, it is planned across roughly 372 acres for 700 to 735 homes, with a design built around front-porch streets, sidewalks and curated landscaping. A village center, an amenity park and roughly 160 acres of trails and open space are woven through the neighborhood, giving Fairington the feel of a walkable, connected place rather than a single row of houses. We tour new-construction communities like this across Middle Tennessee constantly, so the notes below are meant to help you understand what is planned here and what to confirm directly before you commit.

The builder and the home styles

Fairington is developed by Southern Land Company and built by its in-house builder, SLC Homes. Homebuilding began in 2025, with first sales opening in April 2025 and model homes opening in summer 2025. Because a single developer-builder is shaping the whole community, the streetscape, architecture and landscaping are intended to feel cohesive from one block to the next.

The plan calls for a wide range of housing across the community, from townhomes and live/work residences to single-family homes, luxury single-family homes and estate homes. That mix is reflected in the lot program: alley-loaded lots at 22 to 24 feet for live/work residences, plus 33-, 41- and 46-foot alley-loaded lots, and non-alley lots ranging from 65 to 85 feet wide along with half-acre estate lots. Across the community, roughly 445 units are planned as alley-loaded designs and about 290 as front-loaded designs. Recurring design elements include front porches, sidewalks and curated landscaping. New-construction pricing and available floor plans change quickly, so rather than rely on a figure that may already be out of date, let us pull current numbers for the plan and lot you are considering.

Amenities and day-to-day life

Fairington is planned with roughly 160 acres of parks and open space out of its 372 total acres, laced together by trails. The trail network is planned to connect into the broader Nolensville greenway system, and the everyday hub of the community is intended to be a village center of roughly 15,000 to 15,300 square feet set aside for retail and restaurants.

Beyond the open space, the plan includes a resort-style amenity park with a swimming pool and a fitness center. Land has also been reserved within the community for a future elementary school site, with roughly 11.41 acres donated for that purpose. As with any community still under construction, the order in which amenities open can differ from the homes, so it is worth confirming what is finished, what is funded and what is still planned at the time you tour.

Location and commute

Fairington sits in Nolensville in Williamson County, at the McFarlin and Fly roads area. Drive times in this part of Middle Tennessee swing a lot depending on the hour, so rather than trust an estimate, clock it yourself: punch in your real route to work, school or the places you visit most, and drive it at the actual time of day you would be leaving. That live test tells you far more than any number we could print here. We are happy to talk through how this location lines up with the rest of your week.

Who it fits

Fairington is built around variety, so it tends to suit buyers who want options within one walkable, master-planned setting. The range from townhomes and live/work residences up through single-family, luxury single-family and estate homes means very different floor plans and lot sizes live under the same plan. If a village center, a resort-style amenity park with a pool and fitness center, and miles of trails connecting into the Nolensville greenway system are high on your list, those are central to how this community is designed. Buyers drawn to front porches, sidewalks and curated landscaping, or to a half-acre estate lot at the larger end of the lot program, will find that the community is laid out with those preferences in mind.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing for the specific plan and lot you want — published starting prices move, so confirm today's number live.
• HOA dues, what they cover, and how amenity costs are handled as the village center, pool, fitness center and trails come online.
• Lot specifics — which lot width and orientation you are buying (alley-loaded vs. front-loaded), and the exact dimensions and any premiums.
• Builder warranty terms from SLC Homes, plus a clear line between what is included in the base price and what is an upgrade.
• Construction timeline — your home's projected completion as well as when each planned amenity is expected to open.
• The real commute — drive your actual routes at your actual departure times before you decide.

Timeline: from Storyvale to a moved-in community

Southern Land Company broke ground on the project (then called Storyvale) in November 2023. The community was renamed Fairington in January 2025, home sales opened in 2025, and Southern Land Company held a grand opening celebration on Saturday, October 18, 2025, marking the month its first homeowners moved in. SLC president and COO Brian Sewell said at the time, "Fairington's grand opening is especially meaningful as our first homeowners move into the community this month." That means Fairington has gone from groundbreaking to lived-in neighborhood in under two years, which is worth knowing if you're weighing early-phase construction noise and ongoing amenity build-out against buying into a community that already has residents on the ground (as of late 2025 per Southern Land Company).

Fairington Club: the amenity center, under construction now

The community's signature amenity center, Fairington Club, broke ground in February 2026 — less than six months after the first homeowners moved in — and Southern Land Company has stated it is expected to be complete in 2027. Choate Construction is the general contractor. As planned, the Club spans more than 10,000 square feet across three buildings on upward of four acres: a fitness building with cardio, movement and strength studios; a social/programming building with a teaching kitchen and a "Craft & Create" room; and a resort-style pool building. Outdoor features are planned to include event lawns, a basketball court, tennis and pickleball courts, a pool with a water slide, fire pits and a dog park, with a dedicated community lifestyle manager coordinating events (Southern Land Company, as of February-March 2026). The Club sits within a larger area the developer calls Village Commons, which is also where the roughly 15,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space is planned; as of our last research pass, no specific retail or restaurant tenants had been announced for that space. If amenities are a big part of why you're considering Fairington, ask specifically what's built and open versus what's still under construction on the day you tour, since a 2027 target can move.

Floor plan collections and closed-sale pricing

Marketing materials describe Fairington's home collections using names like bungalows, manors and grand manors alongside townhomes and single-family homes, reflecting the range from smaller-footprint to larger estate-style product built by SLC Homes. Builder pricing was described as starting in the mid-$800,000s as of the 2025 grand opening. A third-party brokerage site tracking closed sales reported a range of roughly $849,900 to about $1,149,650 on homes that had closed, with a median near $1,026,547 and pricing that worked out to roughly $350-$398 per square foot (source: Nashville Home Guru, cited 2026) — that is aggregator-reported closed-sale data, not a builder list price, and it will already be stale by the time you read this, so pull live pricing and recent closings for the specific plan and phase you want rather than relying on any number printed here.

HOA and what it's reported to cost

Fairington has a homeowners' association, and the developer has said it will fund the dedicated lifestyle manager and community programming referenced above. A third-party source reported HOA dues around $250 per month (Nashville Home Guru, cited 2026), but we have not verified that figure against a current HOA budget or resale disclosure, and dues can change as amenities like Fairington Club come online and start adding operating costs. Get the current due, the reserve study, and exactly what's covered in writing before you write an offer — don't rely on a number quoted online.

Roads, growth, and why the area is being widened

Fairington sits inside the I-65 corridor's reach, which puts Nashville, Brentwood and Franklin within a plausible commute and puts downtown Nolensville's own shops and restaurants a short drive away rather than a walk. As part of the development, Southern Land Company has said it is widening McFarlin Road and Fly Road and improving the connection to Rock Springs Road, work tied directly to the traffic this scale of community adds to what had been rural roads. That context matters because Nolensville's growth is not confined to Fairington: multiple 2025 rankings — including a StorageCafe analysis reported by the Tennessee Municipal League and local news outlets — placed Nolensville as Tennessee's fastest-growing city and among the ten fastest-growing cities in the country, with U.S. Census Bureau data cited showing roughly 163% population growth in Nolensville between 2010 and 2023. We can't tell you what that means for future traffic or prices — we can only tell you road work is underway and the area is growing quickly, so it's worth driving McFarlin and Fly roads yourself, at rush hour, before you buy, especially on the two-lane sections still being widened.

Schools: verify by address, not by community name

Fairington includes land set aside for a future public elementary school — roughly 11.41 acres donated toward a Williamson County Schools facility that has been described as sized for up to about 890 elementary students once built. That future school is not open yet, and until it is, homes in Fairington are zoned to existing Williamson County Schools based on the specific address. We don't characterize school quality one way or the other; pull the current zoned schools and their GreatSchools.org and Tennessee Department of Education report cards for the exact lot or model home you're considering, since zoning can shift as new schools come online in fast-growing areas like this.

What to verify before you buy here — the investor's checklist

• Which phase and section you're buying into — Fairington is being built in stages, and a home near finished amenities is a different proposition than one in an early phase still surrounded by construction.
• Fairington Club's actual completion status against its 2027 target at the time you're under contract — amenity center timelines on projects this size commonly slip, and it directly affects what you're paying HOA dues toward.
• Current HOA dues and budget in writing, not the ~$250/month figure reported by a third-party site — ask whether dues are projected to rise once Fairington Club and Village Commons open and start carrying operating costs.
• Recent closed comps for your specific floor plan collection (bungalow, manor, grand manor, townhome), since the mid-$800,000s starting price and the roughly $850K-$1.15M closed-sale range reported for 2025-2026 will not reflect today's pricing.
• Resale exposure while construction continues — ask the builder directly how many more phases and homes are planned near your lot, and for how many more years, since 700+ total homes is a multi-year build-out.
• Road-widening progress on McFarlin and Fly roads — construction-zone conditions during your ownership are a near-certainty given the developer's own stated infrastructure plans.
• Zoned schools for the specific address (not the community name), pulled fresh from Williamson County Schools, since the planned on-site elementary school is not open yet and zoning could shift.
• Whether the retail/restaurant space in Village Commons has signed tenants yet, if walkable retail is part of why you're buying here — as of our research, no tenants had been publicly announced.

Frequently asked questions

Is Fairington the same as Storyvale? Yes — Southern Land Company renamed the community from Storyvale to Fairington in January 2025, before homes started selling under the new name. If you see "Storyvale" on an older article, map listing, or sign, it refers to this same 373-acre property at McFarlin and Fly roads. SLC Homes, the in-house homebuilding division of Southern Land Company, builds every home in the community — there is no second outside production builder here as of our last research pass.

Is the amenity center open, and will prices keep rising? Fairington Club, the community's amenity center, broke ground in February 2026 with a stated 2027 completion target, so it is not open yet — confirm its status directly when you tour, since large amenity projects can run ahead of or behind schedule. On pricing, we can't predict the future and won't try: the builder's mid-$800,000s starting price is from the 2025 grand opening, and a third-party site has reported closed sales as high as roughly $1.15 million on certain plans, so pull live pricing for the plan you want rather than anchoring to either figure.
