McDaniel Estates

McDaniel Estates is a new-construction, single-family community in College Grove, Tennessee — a rural corner of southern Williamson County known for rolling land and a quieter pace than the busier parts of the county to the north. What sets McDaniel Estates apart from much of what gets built out here is its positioning: it's a straightforward single-family neighborhood rather than one of the golf-club communities that dominate the College Grove area. If you want a new home in this part of the county without buying into a club lifestyle, this is the kind of community worth a closer look.

Builders and home styles

McDaniel Estates is a single-family community built by Signature Homes, so you're looking at detached new-construction homes rather than townhomes or attached product. Beyond the builder, the public detail on floor plans, square footage ranges, and standard features is the kind of thing that changes as a community moves through its phases — and it's exactly what we confirm live for you before you ever walk a model.

Because we tour new-construction communities across Williamson County constantly, we can tell you which plans are available in McDaniel Estates right now and what's standard versus an upgrade — all current as of the day you ask. We represent buyers in new construction at little or no cost to you, and that lets us walk the homesites and models with you and help you sort out which plan and lot actually fit how you want to live.

Amenities and day-to-day living

McDaniel Estates is positioned as a single-family alternative to the golf-club communities nearby, so the draw here is the homes and the College Grove setting itself rather than a long roster of resort-style amenities. We don't want to overstate what's on the ground, so if a specific amenity matters to you — a pool, trails, common green space, or anything similar — let us confirm exactly what this community offers (and what's planned versus already built) before you make a decision.

One thing worth flagging up front: there is an HOA here. HOA dues and what they actually cover can shift as a community builds out, so we'll pull the current figure and the full list of what's included when we talk.

Location and getting around

College Grove sits in the southern, more rural reach of Williamson County, which means part of the appeal is land and openness — and part of the trade-off is that your daily drives will depend heavily on where you're headed. Rather than quote you a drive time that won't match your real life, the smartest move is to clock it yourself: plug McDaniel Estates into your maps app at the actual time you'd leave for work, school, or wherever you go most, and see what the commute really looks like on a normal morning.

If you want, we can talk through the routes out of College Grove and where they connect, so you go into that test drive knowing what to look for.

Who it fits

McDaniel Estates tends to make sense for buyers who want a new single-family home in College Grove but aren't looking to buy into a golf-club community to get it. If a more low-key, single-family neighborhood in southern Williamson County appeals to you — and you're comfortable with a rural setting where the commute is something you'll want to test for yourself — this community is worth putting on your list. As always, the right fit comes down to the specific plan, lot, and pricing available when you're ready, which is exactly what we'll confirm with you live.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing. New-construction pricing moves with phases and availability, so it's never something to take from a stale listing — we'll pull the live numbers for you.
• HOA dues and what they cover. Confirm the current monthly amount and exactly what's included.
• Lot specifics. Lot sizes, homesite locations, and any premiums — get the details on the specific lot you're considering.
• Builder warranty and included-vs-upgrade. Know which builder is on your home, what the warranty covers, and what's standard versus an added-cost upgrade.
• Build timeline. Confirm the realistic completion window for the plan and lot you want.
• The real commute. Drive your actual routes at your actual departure times before you commit.

Where McDaniel Estates sits and how to get around

McDaniel Estates sits off Cox Road in College Grove, in the 37046 zip code in southern Williamson County, with internal streets including Balcolm Court, Blondell Way, Delancey Drive, Flatbush Drive and Ludlow Drive (per Signature Homes and Nashville-area brokerage listing sites, as of 2026-06). Brokerage sources describe the community as roughly 20 minutes from downtown Franklin via TN-96, about 30 minutes from Nashville International Airport (BNA), and about 20 minutes from the Cool Springs retail corridor, with Highway 840 providing the connection out to I-65 and I-24 (as of 2026-06). Independent mapping separately puts College Grove to Franklin at about 18 miles, roughly 27 minutes via SR-96 under normal conditions. As always, treat these as general reference points, not a guarantee of your own drive — test the actual route at the time of day you'd be driving it.

For context on what's nearby: the community is commonly described as being close to the Harpeth River, and it sits within a few miles of Peacock Hill Nature Park, a 246-acre Williamson County park at 6990 Giles Hill Road that the county opened after a 2017 land donation, with roughly 5 miles of trails, two ponds, and a visitor center in a converted 1850s farmhouse (Williamson County Parks and Recreation). Arrington Vineyards, off Patton Road, is also frequently cited as a nearby destination for this part of the county. These are features of the College Grove area generally, not amenities the McDaniel Estates HOA maintains, so don't confuse the two when you're comparing communities.

Scale, sections and lot sizing

Builder and civil-engineering materials describe McDaniel Estates as a roughly 210-lot subdivision developed in multiple sections (reported as six), which is a meaningfully larger footprint than a single-phase boutique community — worth knowing if you care about how built-out versus still-under-construction a neighborhood is when you tour. Lot-size reporting varies by source: some brokerage data puts typical lots in the quarter-acre range (roughly 0.22 to 0.44 acre), while other marketing describes homesites as 'spacious' or 'half-acre.' Given that spread, treat any lot-size figure you read as a starting point and have us confirm the plat size of the specific homesite you're considering — lot sizes at McDaniel Estates are not uniform across all six sections.

Home sizes, price range and HOA — dated figures

Reported home sizes at McDaniel Estates vary noticeably by source and by which phase of the community is being described: some listings put the range as roughly 2,081 to 6,411 square feet, while Signature Homes' own marketing has cited an average around 3,500 square feet. Reported closed-sale pricing (rolling 12-month brokerage data, as of 2026) has ranged from about $710,000 to $1,625,000, with a reported median near $922,500 — consistent with the community's builder-quoted starting point in the $950,000s referenced elsewhere on this page. We can't predict where prices go from here, and a listing-site snapshot is only ever a moment in time, so treat any number here as a reference point and let us pull live, active listings and recent closed comps before you anchor to a figure.

HOA dues have also been reported inconsistently across sources — figures cited range from roughly $75/month up to a reported $85-$140/month range (average near $127/month in one brokerage data set), which is a wider spread than the community's own marketing materials typically state. Given that spread, don't rely on any single number here; we'll pull the current HOA statement and the full list of what it covers before you write an offer.

Amenities at the Residents' Club

Unlike some newer or still-building College Grove communities, McDaniel Estates has an established, named amenity package: a Residents' Club described in builder and civil-engineering materials as including a 24-hour fitness center, flexible meeting/event space, and a beach-entry outdoor pool, with a movie lawn and playground adjacent to the pool and a designated dog park ("Bark Park") nearby. The community is also described as having hiking/walking trails throughout, including a scenic overlook, plus sidewalks in the developed sections. Some listings additionally reference a community garden and fire pit area. As with everything else on this page, amenity access and what's currently open versus still being built should be confirmed on the day you tour — amenity centers in phased communities don't always come online with the first homes.

Construction and home features

Signature Homes' marketing for McDaniel Estates emphasizes energy-efficient construction, citing features like low-E windows, high-efficiency HVAC systems and programmable thermostats as part of their standard build. Reported architectural exteriors include all-brick and fiber-cement/hardboard combinations, and one brokerage data set noted a majority of homes here place the primary bedroom on the main floor — worth asking about directly if a main-floor primary matters to you, since it won't be true of every plan. As with any builder feature list, what's standard versus an upgrade shifts by phase and by plan, so confirm the current spec sheet for the exact home or lot you're considering rather than relying on general marketing copy.

Schools assigned to this address

Multiple sources report that homes in McDaniel Estates are zoned to Williamson County Schools, with College Grove Elementary and Fred J. Page Middle and High School most commonly cited (some sources also note Arrington Elementary for certain sections). We aren't going to characterize school quality one way or another — school zoning can also change, and which school a specific address feeds into can vary within a large, multi-section community like this one. Pull the current zoning for the exact lot you're considering from Williamson County Schools directly, and review the GreatSchools.org and Tennessee Department of Education report cards yourself for whatever factors matter to you.

What to verify before you buy in McDaniel Estates — an investor's lens

Beyond the standard new-construction checklist, a few things are specific to a large, multi-section, multi-year build-out like McDaniel Estates and worth a closer look if you're thinking about resale, rental potential, or simply want to know what you're actually buying into:

Common questions about McDaniel Estates

Is McDaniel Estates still selling new construction, or is it built out? Reporting varies by source and by section — some describe an active, multi-year build-out with sections still under construction, while resale/closed-sale data suggests parts of the community are established enough to have meaningful comp history. We'll confirm the current builder status and which lots (if any) are still available as new construction versus resale.

How does McDaniel Estates compare to Reeds Vale or The Grove nearby in College Grove? McDaniel Estates is a larger-scale, amenitized single-family community (reported around 210 lots with a Residents' Club, pool and trails) rather than the smaller single-builder footprint of Reeds Vale or the gated golf-club lifestyle of The Grove or Troubadour. If a full amenity package matters to you but a golf-club membership doesn't, McDaniel Estates is worth comparing directly against those other College Grove options — we can walk you through all of them.

Is there existing resale inventory in McDaniel Estates, or only new construction from the builder? Both, based on available reporting — the community has enough sales history that resale listings turn over alongside any remaining builder inventory. We'll pull whichever is currently available, new or resale, and help you compare the two.
