The Oaks

The Oaks at a glance

The Oaks is a new-construction single-family neighborhood in the Gladeville corridor of Mount Juliet, in Wilson County, Tennessee (the 37122 ZIP code), built by Century Communities. The plan calls for 69 homes, and it is actively selling and under development through 2025 and 2026, so a buyer arriving today is shopping a live community with both to-be-built homes and a set of move-in-ready inventory rather than a finished, closed-out subdivision. All of the homes are two stories, ranging from 2,570 to 3,075 square feet, and they sit on a mix of lot sizes from about 0.20 up to 0.90 of an acre — a wider lot range than you find in most production communities this size, which gives buyers some real choice between a lower-maintenance lot and a larger yard.

Because The Oaks is in the Gladeville part of Mount Juliet, it tends to draw buyers who want the convenience of the Mount Juliet/Providence side of the metro — downtown Nashville is roughly 25 minutes away via I-40 and I-840 — paired with the more open, lower-density feel east of the main commercial strip. A lot of the interest we see here comes from relocating buyers and people moving up from the Nashville core who want a brand-new home with a real yard, four or five bedrooms, and a builder warranty, on the Wilson County side. We tour new construction across Middle Tennessee constantly, so we can tell you how The Oaks compares to the other Mount Juliet and Wilson County communities a buyer is usually weighing at the same time.

Who builds in The Oaks

The Oaks is built by Century Communities, a nationally ranked homebuilder with an established presence in the Tennessee market. As a single-builder community, The Oaks offers a more streamlined experience than a multi-builder master plan: one set of floor plans, one design and selections process, and one warranty and customer-care contact, which many out-of-state and first-time new-construction buyers appreciate.

Century includes its Century Home Connect smart-home technology as a standard feature in these homes, so the connected-home package is built in rather than sold as an upgrade. The on-site Century team handles the build logistics and the timeline; our role on the buyer's side is to help you compare The Oaks against the alternatives, read the contract and the included features clearly, and make sure your interests are represented from contract through closing — at little or no cost to you as the buyer.

Homes & floor plans

Every home at The Oaks is a two-story, single-family design. There are four floor plans — the Harding, the Calderwood, the Hibiscus, and the Sinclair — offering four to five bedrooms and two-and-a-half to four bathrooms, with finished square footage from 2,570 to 3,075. A two- to three-car garage is standard across the plans, which is a meaningful detail for buyers who need the extra bay for storage, a workshop, or a third vehicle.

Construction is on slab foundations, with exteriors that combine hardboard siding and partial brick. Lots run from about 0.20 to 0.90 of an acre, so the same floor plan can live very differently depending on the homesite you choose — something worth walking with us before you commit. Century's Home Connect smart-home technology comes standard. For the current floor-plan layouts, included features, and elevation options, Century Communities publishes the plan details on its official community page; we're glad to pull those up alongside the live inventory and walk through them with you.

As of 2025, the community had a set of move-in-ready homes available in addition to its to-be-built options, which gives buyers on a tighter timeline a faster path to closing. Inventory like that turns over quickly, so we confirm what's actually available the day you're ready to look.

Amenities & community life

The Oaks keeps its shared amenities simple and walkable: a playground, a community walking trail, and rain gardens woven into the landscape. The walking trail and open green space give the neighborhood a connected, outdoor-oriented feel for day-to-day life, and the rain gardens are part of how the community manages stormwater while keeping the common areas green.

The community operates under a homeowners association, with annual dues that cover the upkeep of these shared spaces. We'll go over exactly what the HOA covers and confirm the current dues with you before you write an offer, so there are no surprises after closing.

Location, access & schools

The Oaks is centered on Donna Oaks Drive in the Gladeville corridor, with homesites along streets including Glade Drive W, Molly Lane, Wiskey Trail, and Wiskey Lane. The location puts downtown Nashville roughly 25 minutes away via I-40 and I-840, and it sits within easy reach of Providence Marketplace — the large Mount Juliet retail district anchored by Costco, Target, and Publix — for everyday shopping, dining, and errands.

The Oaks is zoned to Gladeville Elementary School, Gladeville Middle School, and Wilson Central High School. School zoning and attendance boundaries can change, so we always recommend confirming current assignments directly with Wilson County Schools before you buy.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move week to week, so a few things are worth confirming with us before you write an offer at The Oaks:

• Current pricing and any available incentives — we pull the live numbers straight from the builder for you, since published figures lag
• Which homes and homesites are actually available right now, including any move-in-ready inventory and to-be-built options
• The current build phase and projected completion timelines for to-be-built homes
• The exact lot dimensions, orientation, and any premium for the homesite you're considering across the 0.20–0.90-acre range
• The current HOA dues and precisely what the association covers
• Current school zoning, confirmed with Wilson County Schools

We verify every one of these for you as part of representing you — it's what keeps a new-construction purchase from holding any surprises.

Century Communities: builder reputation & warranty

Century Communities is a publicly traded, national homebuilder (NYSE: CCS) that ranked among the top 10 U.S. builders by closings volume as of its most recent annual results, with operations in roughly 45 markets across 16 states, including several Nashville-metro communities beyond The Oaks (Murfreesboro, Spring Hill, and Pleasant View among them). Newsweek has named Century Communities one of America's Most Trustworthy Companies for multiple consecutive years, and third-party buyer-satisfaction surveys published by Eliant scored the builder in the high-4-out-of-5 range as of 2026 — though as with any national builder, individual reviews are mixed, so we'd encourage you to read recent buyer feedback yourself. Century's standard new-home warranty follows the industry-typical structure: one year on workmanship and materials from closing, and major structural systems covered through the applicable state statute of repose or ten years, whichever is shorter, with specifics (including what counts as a covered structural component) spelled out in the builder's warranty documentation — we're glad to go through that booklet with you line by line before closing.

Commute, transit & everyday access

Beyond the roughly 25-minute drive into downtown Nashville, Nashville International Airport (BNA) is typically a 15-to-20-minute drive from most Mount Juliet neighborhoods via I-40 West — one of the shorter airport commutes of any Nashville-area suburb. Mount Juliet is also served by the WeGo Star commuter rail, with weekday service between downtown Nashville's Riverfront Station and Lebanon and a stop at the Mount Juliet Station, a citywide amenity you'd drive to from The Oaks rather than something specific to the Gladeville corridor. For everyday errands, Providence Marketplace on South Mount Juliet Road is anchored by Target, Old Navy, Best Buy, and the Regal Providence 14 movie theater, with Publix-anchored Providence Commons and additional big-box retail, including Costco, located nearby along the same corridor rather than inside Providence Marketplace itself — worth knowing as you map errands before you tour.

Mount Juliet is one of the fastest-growing cities in Middle Tennessee, with an estimated 2026 population of roughly 46,000 — up about 17% from the 2020 Census count of 39,690. Gladeville, the more rural corridor where The Oaks sits, is growing even faster on a percentage basis: its estimated 2026 population of roughly 2,800 is up more than 60% since the 2020 Census, reflecting the wave of new-construction communities built in the area in recent years. Wilson County's certified property tax rate is $1.1657 per $100 of assessed value for the current fiscal year per the Wilson County Trustee's office, with Mount Juliet's municipal rate applied separately; combined effective rates for most Mount Juliet homeowners have been reported at under 0.5% of assessed value. Rates and assessments are revisited on a regular cycle, so we recommend pulling the current combined rate for this specific parcel from the Wilson County Assessor and Trustee before you budget.

Investor & second-look checklist

• Whether the HOA's declaration or bylaws restrict leasing or short-term rentals — this varies by community and is a contract-stage question, not a closing-day one
• The community's remaining build-out phases, since a still-selling community means ongoing construction traffic and noise for existing owners until Century finishes
• How The Oaks' per-square-foot pricing compares to recently closed resales in nearby Gladeville and Mount Juliet subdivisions — we pull comparable closed sales rather than relying on list prices alone
• The specific homesite's flood zone status and drainage plan, particularly on lots near the community's rain gardens or the lower end of the 0.20–0.90-acre range
• Whether builder incentives (rate buydowns, closing-cost credits) are being offered on the homesite you're considering, and how that affects your true net price

Frequently asked questions

Is The Oaks a gated community? No — it's an open, non-gated single-family neighborhood with a playground, walking trail, and rain gardens as its shared amenities. What's the HOA fee? Third-party listing sources have cited an annual fee in the $500-600 range as of 2026, covering common-area landscaping and upkeep of the playground and trails; because dues can be reset by the association, we confirm the current exact figure directly with Century Communities or the HOA management company before you write an offer. Is the community sold out? As of 2026, The Oaks remains actively selling toward its planned 69 homes across four floor plans, with both to-be-built and move-in-ready homes available at different points in time — availability shifts week to week, so we check live inventory before you tour. Will prices here go up? We can't tell you what The Oaks, or Mount Juliet real estate generally, will be worth in the future — nobody can predict future prices — but we can show you dated, sourced comparables and recent closed sales so you're deciding on current facts rather than a guess. Do I need my own agent to buy new construction here? The on-site sales team represents the builder, not you — bringing your own buyer's agent, typically at little or no cost to you, means someone is reviewing the contract, included features, and closing process solely in your interest, and most builders ask you to register your agent on your first visit or contact.

Gladeville, the more rural corridor where The Oaks sits, appears to be growing even faster on a percentage basis based on those same Census Bureau estimates, reflecting the wave of new-construction communities built in the area in recent years — we'd point you to the Census Bureau's QuickFacts site for the current published figures rather than quote a precise number here.
