The Best Nashville Neighborhoods for New Construction Homes in 2025
If you're thinking about buying a newly built home in Nashville, you're not alone — demand for new construction continues to rise as more people move to Middle Tennessee. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, upgrading your space, or relocating to Music City, knowing where to focus your search can make all the difference.
At Ark Development Group, we specialize in developing high-quality homes in Nashville’s most promising neighborhoods. Here's our take on where you’ll find the best new construction opportunities in 2025.
1. East Nashville (37206, 37216)
East Nashville has been the go-to neighborhood for years, and that momentum hasn’t slowed. What makes East special is its mix of historic charm and modern builds — walkable streets, local cafes, and a strong community vibe.
What to Expect: Craftsman-style homes, contemporary infill builds, and two-home HPR developments
Average Price: $600K–$850K depending on location and size
Why It’s Hot: Strong resale value, close to downtown, great food and retail scene
📍 Ark is actively building in this area, including multiple two-build projects.
2. The Nations (37209)
What used to be an industrial area is now packed with new builds, rooftop decks, and creative developments. The Nations is perfect for buyers looking for modern design, proximity to West Nashville, and strong investment potential.
What to Expect: Modern two- and three-story homes, HPRs, townhomes
Average Price: $500K–$750K
Why It’s Hot: Trendy, dense, highly walkable with coffee shops and breweries at your doorstep
3. Wedgewood-Houston (WeHo – 37203)
Wedgewood-Houston has been on developers’ radar for years, and 2025 is seeing even more growth. Its location just south of downtown makes it a prime spot for new construction — especially for professionals who want city access.
What to Expect: Contemporary townhomes, urban-style new builds
Average Price: $650K–$950K
Why It’s Hot: Near GEODIS Park, downtown, and the rapidly growing Chestnut Hill area
4. Madison (37115)
For buyers looking for space, affordability, and long-term upside, Madison is one to watch. Development is picking up, and it's still early enough to get in before prices catch up to East Nashville and Inglewood.
What to Expect: Single-family homes on larger lots, suburban new builds
Average Price: $400K–$600K
Why It’s Hot: Room to grow, up-and-coming retail, great for first-time buyers and young families
5. Donelson / Hermitage (37214, 37076)
Located east of downtown and close to the airport, these neighborhoods offer a great blend of affordability and convenience. Donelson has a growing food and retail scene, and new construction is expanding quickly.
