King's Chapel

King's Chapel is a private, gated custom-home community in Arrington, set in the rolling wine-country landscape roughly 10 miles from historic Franklin. The neighborhood is built around the things that were already on the land — historic trees, running creeks, an old country church and stocked fishing ponds — with custom and semi-custom homes spread across generous lots. Planned for 449 homes at build-out, King's Chapel had roughly 20 to 30 lots remaining at the time of our review, so availability is best confirmed live. We tour communities like this constantly and represent buyers in new construction at little or no cost to you, which means we can help you find the right fit and walk the build with you from contract to close.

Builders & home styles

King's Chapel works from a roster of approved builders rather than a single production builder, which is part of why the streetscape reads as varied custom estates instead of repeated elevations. The approved-builder list includes Drees Homes, Tennessee Valley Homes, Cadence Construction, R.L. Builders, Old South Construction, Gregg Homebuilding Company and Legacy Homes. Each builder brings its own floor plans and design language, so the right starting point depends on what you're after — and we can help you compare them side by side.

Homes here range from semi-custom to fully custom estate designs, typically in the neighborhood of 3,500 to 7,000-plus square feet, with 4 to 6 bedrooms as a common configuration. Lots generally run from 1/3 to 1/2 acre — level or sloping, with basement lots available — and some future parcels are planned at over two acres. Common features include large estate floor plans, basement options and 3-car garage configurations. Because every builder prices and packages differently, treat any figure you see as a starting point: the listed price-from at the time of review was $1,586,900, but current pricing, plan availability and what's included versus an upgrade all change quickly, and we pull live numbers for you before you commit.

Amenities & day-to-day lifestyle

Daily life in King's Chapel centers on the Kings' Club clubhouse, which pairs a fitness center with a 130,000-gallon heated saltwater pool. Beyond the club, the community is laced with miles of walking trails that follow seven creeks, plus stocked fishing ponds, mature trees and the kind of natural setting that's hard to engineer after the fact. A historic c.1804 chapel anchors the community's social side and is used for events, including as a wedding and event venue, and there's a park that hosts seasonal music.

The neighborhood also runs an ongoing slate of community social programming — think music in the park and neighborhood barbecues — behind private, gated entries. If a strong amenity package and a calendar of community events matter to you, this is a community that leans into both. We'd suggest confirming current amenity access, hours and any associated dues live, since programming and facilities evolve over time.

Location & commute

King's Chapel sits in Arrington, in southeastern Williamson County's wine-country corridor, about 10 miles from historic downtown Franklin. That puts you near Franklin's restaurants, shops and services while keeping the setting rural and open. Commute times into Franklin, Brentwood, Cool Springs or downtown Nashville depend heavily on which route you take and what time you leave, so don't trust a generic estimate — clock the drive yourself at your real departure time, on the days and hours you'd actually be on the road. We're happy to talk through routes and what the trip realistically looks like from this part of Arrington.

Who it fits

King's Chapel tends to suit buyers who want a custom or semi-custom estate home on a larger lot and value a private, gated setting with a full amenity package. The mix of a clubhouse, heated saltwater pool, fitness center, creekside trails and stocked fishing ponds appeals to people who want recreation and community programming right outside the door. Basement and sloping lots make it a fit for buyers planning larger floor plans or lower-level living space, and the over-two-acre future parcels may interest those wanting more room. Because it's a multi-builder community, it also fits buyers who want to compare several builders' plans and finishes within one neighborhood before deciding.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing — the price-from figure here was accurate as of our review, but new-construction pricing moves fast, so confirm live numbers for the specific plan, builder and lot you're considering.
• HOA dues and what they cover — ask exactly what the dues include (amenity access, common-area maintenance, programming, gated entries) and how they're billed.
• Lot specifics — confirm the exact lot size, whether it's level or sloping, basement versus slab, drainage and any premium, since lots range from 1/3 to 1/2 acre with some larger future parcels planned.
• Builder warranty and included-versus-upgrade — each approved builder packages standard features and warranty coverage differently, so get the included finishes and warranty terms in writing.
• Build timeline — verify the realistic start-to-completion schedule for your home and any contingencies tied to it.
• Your real commute — drive your actual routes to work, school and the places you frequent at the times you'd travel, rather than relying on an estimate.

Getting more specific about location & commute

King's Chapel's entrance sits off Highway 96 (Murfreesboro Road) in Arrington's wine-country section of southeastern Williamson County, within a few minutes of I-840, which connects to both I-65 (toward Franklin, Brentwood and Nashville) and I-24 (toward Murfreesboro and Smyrna). Cool Springs' shopping and dining corridor and downtown Franklin are both commonly cited in the 10-to-20-minute range depending on route and traffic, and downtown Nashville is commonly cited around 35 minutes; Murfreesboro is often the closer draw to the east. As always, these are general reference points, not promises — drive your own routes at the times you'd actually be commuting before you rely on any of them.

Arrington Vineyards, one of the area's best-known landmarks, sits nearby and is one of the reasons this corridor gets referred to informally as Nashville's wine country. If weekend wine-country outings, proximity to working farms, and a rural feel are part of the draw for you, that's worth weighing alongside the commute math.

HOA structure & club membership — what it actually costs to belong

King's Chapel operates on a two-part cost structure that's worth understanding before you shop here: a neighborhood HOA and a separate, mandatory Club of Kings' Chapel membership. Reporting on HOA dues has cited figures in the neighborhood of roughly $100 a month (or a comparable quarterly amount), varying by section of the community, while club membership has been reported to carry an initiation cost in the thousands of dollars — often covered by the builder for new-construction purchases — plus an ongoing monthly minimum tied to the on-site restaurant. Treat all of that as a starting point rather than gospel: these figures move, vary by section and by builder incentive, and the only numbers that matter are the ones in your specific HOA disclosure and club agreement. We'll help you get the current dues, initiation cost and monthly minimum in writing before you're under contract.

Because membership in the Club of Kings' Chapel is mandatory for residents (not opt-in), it's a materially different ownership cost than a typical subdivision HOA, and it's the kind of detail that's easy to underweight when you're focused on the home itself. Ask specifically whether the builder is covering the initiation fee on your contract, what the current monthly minimum is, and how dues and club costs are billed and adjusted over time.

The club amenities in more depth

Beyond the pool and fitness center already covered, the Club of Kings' Chapel has been reported to include a full-service, on-site restaurant, tennis courts, a dog park, a playground and a cabana with a fireplace, in addition to the saltwater pool (commonly operated seasonally, roughly May through September) and the fitness center. If restaurant access, tennis and dedicated dog and play areas are part of what you're shopping for in an amenity package, King's Chapel's club goes further than a typical pool-and-clubhouse HOA. Confirm current hours, seasonal operation and any guest policies directly with the club, since amenity programming shifts over time.

The historic chapel — dated history, not just an amenity blurb

The chapel that gives the community its name has real documented history behind it, per a Williamson County Historical Society marker erected in 2012: Methodist preaching in this part of southeastern Williamson County dates to the early 1800s, and a chapel was built on the site in 1815. The congregation later moved to a larger building near Triune in 1849, and the original chapel building went through periods of disuse, including reported use by Union forces during the Civil War and later as a dairy barn. Two families, the Powells and the Antons, are credited with rebuilding the chapel on its original foundation stones, incorporating many of the original bricks, with the reconstruction completed in 2008. Today it functions as an event and wedding venue for the community and beyond. This kind of documented, place-specific history is part of what separates King's Chapel from a purely amenity-driven new subdivision, and it's the sort of detail worth asking your builder or the club to point you to directly if you want the full account.

Price & market context (dated, not predictive)

Aggregator market data citing rolling 12-month closed sales in King's Chapel (reported by Nashville Home Guru, with figures dated to early 2026) put the median sale price in the community at roughly $1.67 million, with closed sales ranging from about $1.12 million to $2.33 million and price-per-square-foot figures roughly in the mid-$300s. Active listings and market conditions shift week to week, and even recent aggregator numbers can be a snapshot rather than a current picture — we can't predict where prices go from here, and neither can anyone else. What we can do is pull the live comparable sales and active listings for King's Chapel before you write an offer, so you're working from this week's data rather than a website's last refresh.

Built-year data for existing homes in the community has been reported spanning from the community's original construction in the mid-2000s through recent years, reflecting a community still actively building out alongside its more established sections — which is part of why new-construction lots and resale homes both show up here side by side. Ask any builder or listing agent directly how much of the community is built out versus still in active construction on the section you're considering.

Property taxes — what to actually budget for

Property tax bills here are set by Williamson County (plus any applicable rural or district add-ons) and are separate from HOA dues and club costs. The Williamson County Commission's most recently passed budget set a county property tax rate for the new fiscal year, reported at $1.30 per $100 of assessed value — a decrease from the prior year's rate — with the bulk of that rate directed to the general-purpose schools fund and the remainder split across the county general fund and debt service. Because Arrington sits in unincorporated Williamson County, homes here generally don't carry an additional city property tax layer the way homes inside Franklin or Brentwood city limits might. Tax rates and assessments change; verify the current rate and your specific parcel's assessed value with the Williamson County Trustee before you budget a payment.

Schools — verify by address, every time

King's Chapel falls within Williamson County Schools, but which specific elementary, middle and high school a given home is zoned for depends on the exact address and can vary section to section within the community — we've seen more than one elementary school and more than one high school option referenced for different parts of Arrington's 37014 zip code. We won't characterize any school's quality or ranking here. Before you buy a specific lot or home, pull that address through the Williamson County Schools zoning tool at wcs.edu and check the current GreatSchools.org and Tennessee Department of Education report cards for whatever schools come back — that's the only way to know what applies to the home you're actually considering, and zoning can change over time as the district grows.

Investor-lens checklist: what to verify before you buy in King's Chapel

Frequently asked questions

Is club membership really mandatory in King's Chapel? Reporting on the community describes club membership as required for residents rather than optional, which is different from most Williamson County new-construction HOAs. Confirm the current terms, initiation cost and monthly minimum directly with the club and get them in writing before closing.

How big is King's Chapel? The community has been reported at roughly 700 acres total, with more than 350 acres permanently designated as conservation or green space — meaning a meaningful share of the footprint is preserved rather than developed.

Can I still buy new construction here, or is it mostly resale now? Both exist side by side. Drees Homes and the other approved builders continue to build on remaining lots while earlier sections from the community's original build-out are now trading as resales. Ask any builder or agent how many lots remain in the section you're considering.

Does King's Chapel have its own elementary school? No — homes in King's Chapel are zoned within Williamson County Schools like the rest of the area, and the specific elementary, middle and high school depend on the exact address. Verify zoning for any specific home before you buy rather than assuming based on the community name.
