If you’re searching for homes for sale in Westhaven, Franklin TN, you’ve found one of the most talked-about master-planned communities in Williamson County — and for good reason. Tucked about 14 miles south of downtown Nashville, Westhaven has spent the last two decades building a reputation as one of Franklin’s most walkable, amenity-rich neighborhoods. Whether you’re relocating to Middle Tennessee or moving across town from another part of Franklin, here’s what to know before you tour a home here.
Where Westhaven Fits Into Franklin, TN
Developed by Southern Land Company, Westhaven is a New Urbanist community designed around front porches, tree-lined streets, and a walkable Village Center rather than a typical suburban subdivision layout. It sits on the west side of Franklin, giving residents easy access to downtown Franklin’s historic Main Street, Cool Springs shopping and dining, and a straightforward commute into Nashville via I-840 or Hwy 96. For buyers comparing Franklin neighborhoods to nearby options in Spring Hill or Nashville proper, Westhaven’s combination of walkability and small-town feel is a big part of its draw.
Amenities That Set Westhaven Apart
Westhaven’s amenity package is a major reason it consistently ranks among the most searched neighborhoods in Franklin, TN:
- Village Center — a walkable downtown-style hub with local restaurants, shops, and gathering spaces, so residents can run errands or grab dinner without leaving the neighborhood.
- Westhaven Golf Club — a championship-style course open to residents of all skill levels.
- Parks and trails — an extensive network of green space and walking trails woven throughout the community.
- Tennis and pickleball courts, plus a resident clubhouse used for year-round community events, including Friday-night concerts and songwriter nights (a nod to Nashville’s music heritage).
- The Astor Club, a membership included with new-home purchases in Westhaven’s active-adult section, geared toward residents seeking a more low-maintenance lifestyle.
Home styles in Westhaven range from single-family homes to townhomes (including newer three-story units with elevators) and condominiums, which gives buyers more flexibility than many single-product neighborhoods in the area.
Schools Zoned for Westhaven
Westhaven is zoned for Williamson County Schools, one of the top-rated public school systems in Tennessee. According to the community’s current zoning information, that includes Pearre Creek Elementary (located within Westhaven itself), Hillsboro Middle School, and Independence High School. School zone lines can shift as Williamson County grows, so if a specific school assignment is a deciding factor for you, it’s worth confirming the current zoning for any address you’re considering before you write an offer.
What Homes in Westhaven Are Selling For
Westhaven remains a premium corner of the Franklin, TN market. Recent sales data puts the neighborhood’s median home price at roughly $1.1–1.3 million, with homes typically spending around five to six weeks on the market — a pace that’s eased slightly compared to a year ago. Inventory includes everything from townhomes in the low-to-mid $700,000s up through larger single-family homes well above $1.5 million, so there’s a wider price range here than the “million-dollar neighborhood” reputation might suggest. Because pricing and availability shift week to week, the most accurate read on what’s currently active — and what recently closed — comes from a current MLS pull rather than a general estimate.
Is Westhaven Right for You?
Westhaven tends to appeal to buyers who want walkability, an active social calendar, and low-maintenance living options without giving up single-family square footage entirely — from golf and pickleball to porch-front streets built for evening walks. If that lifestyle sounds appealing, it’s worth touring a few homes in person to see how the Village Center and trail network actually feel day to day, since photos rarely do a New Urbanist layout justice.
