Meritage Homes in Middle Tennessee: Communities, Published Prices & What to Know Before You Buy
A builder that dates itself to 1985 and sells its Middle Tennessee communities under named plan series, in Hendersonville, Murfreesboro and Hermitage.
- Founded
- 1985
- Typical price tier
- Move-up
- Signature
- Bronze Series and Ridge Series plan lines
Meritage Homes dates its own founding to 1985 and describes its homes as built around money-saving, energy-efficient features. Its Nashville market page is thin on company detail — no headquarters, no ownership line — so none is claimed here.
What that page does publish is the thing worth using: its Middle Tennessee communities are sold under named plan series rather than one catalogue. On the day we read it, Mansker Farms in Hendersonville was selling as a Bronze Series community, and Avery Farms in Murfreesboro and Crestview in Hermitage as Ridge Series communities, each with its own starting price. Those prices are quoted with their date in the table below.
One correction worth stating plainly, because our own page carried the old number: the starting price this builder publishes for Mansker Farms has moved since we last wrote it up. That is exactly why every figure on this page now renders with the day it was read beside it.
What buying from Meritage Homes is like
The purchase runs on the builder's own contract through its on-site team. Because plans here are grouped into named series, ask which series your homesite is in and get that series' included-features list in writing — a feature that is standard in one series is often an option in another. Ask for the written limited warranty document before you sign, and order your own pre-drywall and final-walkthrough inspections.
Which communities does Meritage Homes build in?
Every new-construction community on this site that names Meritage Homes, by county — 18 in total, 17 of them recorded as selling in our own data. Status moves faster than any page does, so call us at 615-265-1000 and we will confirm what is actually releasing homesites this week.
On 2026-09-23 we read Meritage Homes's own Middle Tennessee community list and compared it with every community above. 5 of them were not on it, and they aremarked below. We keep the page either way — that is our record of where this builder has built — but we will not present a community as something you can buy into today when the builder's own list has moved on from it. A community leaving a line-up is normally a phase closing out.

Can I bring my own agent to a Meritage Homes community?
The sales counselor you meet at a Meritage Homes model works for Meritage Homes. That is the role, and a good one knows those plans, those homesites and that build schedule inside out. What the role does not include is representing you on price, on which options are worth buying, on the lot premium, or on the terms of the builder's own contract. That is what a buyer's agent does, and in Tennessee you are generally free to bring your own to a builder community at little or no cost to you.
Timing is the part people get wrong. Most builders ask who your agent is on your very first visit, and sorting it out afterwards is an awkward conversation nobody needs. Call us at 615-265-1000 before you walk into the model and your representation is in place from the first appointment — which is also when it is worth the most, because that is when the plan, the homesite and the options are still open.
Named plan series are where included-feature lists diverge, and the difference rarely shows up in a brochure. Call 615-265-1000 before your first visit and we will confirm which series a homesite is in, what is actually standard in it, and what the purchase agreement says.
What Meritage Homes publishes about itself, and where we read it
Every line on this page about Meritage Homes came off Meritage Homes’ own website. Here is each one with the page it came from and the day we read it, so you can check it yourself — and so you can see when a figure is old enough to be worth re-checking. Builder pricing, availability and programs change without notice.

Sources read through 2026-09-23. Where a figure appears above it is the builder's own published wording on that date and nothing more — not an appraisal, not a forecast, and not a promise of what any home will cost today. The Will Johnson Team is not affiliated with Meritage Homes.
Meritage Homes is building single-family homes and townhomes across Middle Tennessee, and its own Nashville page is unusual among national builders in that it prints an explicit starting price on each community card. That makes it one of the few builders on this site where we can carry a figure at all — and every figure below is that builder's own wording, with the day we read it beside it.
Meritage markets several items as included in the base price rather than as upgrades, though the exact list varies by community and series. New-construction pricing moves plan-by-plan and phase-by-phase, so treat every row below as what the builder published on one day and confirm the current sheet for your plan before you write an offer.

Meritage lists its communities by series, and a single neighbourhood can appear several times at different price points — so confirm which series and which homesite the price you were quoted belongs to. Its own Nashville page also listed communities we do not yet track, and several communities we track were not on it when we read it; both directions are stated above rather than smoothed over. Every quoted price is the builder's own wording on the date shown and nothing more.
not currently listed by the builder — Our records name this builder here, but the builder's own Middle Tennessee community list did not carry this community when we read it on 2026-09-23. That usually means a phase has closed out; it is not a judgement about the builder or the community, and we still document the community — call 615-265-1000 and we will confirm what is actually releasing before you drive out.
Every row above was checked against Meritage Homes's own Nashville page on 2026-09-23. A price appears only as the builder's own published wording on that date — never our estimate, never an MLS figure and never a closed sale. The Will Johnson Team is not affiliated with Meritage Homes.
What buyers should know — and why to bring your own agent
Meritage's on-site sales team represents Meritage in the transaction, which is standard for any builder — their job is to sell the home on the builder's terms, not to negotiate on your behalf. Having your own buyer's agent alongside you from your first visit is, in most cases, little or no cost to you as the buyer, and your agent works only for you.
That matters most on the details that shift between phases and series: exactly which features are included versus optional on the plan you want, current HOA dues and what they cover, whether advertised amenities are actually built and open yet, and how a Meritage-affiliated lender incentive compares to an outside rate quote once you run the numbers. Get the included-features list and any current incentives in writing before you sign. Because Meritage phases pricing and plan availability frequently, we pull the live sheet for the exact community and series you're considering and register you as your buyer's agent on your first visit so your representation is in place from day one.

615-265-1000Frequently asked questions about Meritage Homes in Middle Tennessee
Is Meritage Homes a good builder to buy from in Middle Tennessee?▾
We don't rate builders. Meritage is a national builder with an active, multi-county presence here, and buyer experiences vary by community, series and sales team. We'd rather help you evaluate the actual home, warranty terms and included features for the plan you're considering than hand you an aggregate score we cannot verify.
Does it cost more to use a buyer's agent when I buy a Meritage home?▾
No — we represent buyers in new construction at little or no cost to you, and registering with us on your first visit doesn't change the price Meritage charges for the home.
What comes standard in a Meritage home?▾
Meritage markets several items as included rather than upgrades, built to the company's energy-efficiency standards. The specific list can differ by community and series, so we confirm the current spec sheet for your plan before you write an offer rather than repeating a general list here.
We represent buyers in new construction at little or no cost to you, and because we tour these communities constantly we help you compare Meritage Homes against other builders, read the incentives, and navigate the build to closing. Builder programs, plans, and pricing change — confirm current terms on any specific home before you write an offer.
