Burkitt Ridge

Burkitt Ridge at a glance

Burkitt Ridge is a large-scale new-construction community in Cane Ridge, on the southeast side of Davidson County, built by Regent Homes. It sits on a hilltop overlooking Nolensville, off Burkitt Road, with the sales activity centered around Westcott Lane. This isn't a small in-fill subdivision: it's planned for 800 units across three phases, all under active construction as of 2026, and it's built as a mixed-use neighborhood — homes alongside a planned retail and commercial component called Burkitt Commons, plus a future restaurant space and a fire station site. It's actively selling, which means you can buy here now while later phases are still being built out.

The homes are a mix of townhomes and single-family houses, 2 to 3 bedrooms, ranging from 1,501 to 2,464 square feet and starting at $349,900. That puts Burkitt Ridge among the more attainable new-construction entry points in this corner of the county, and the townhome-and-single-family mix tends to draw a broad set of buyers — people who want a brand-new, lower-maintenance home, those who want to be inside a walkable, amenitied community rather than on a one-off lot, and buyers drawn to the live/work townhome option with its own dedicated commercial space. Because it's a single-builder community at scale, the standards, the process, and the contract stay consistent from one phase to the next.

Who builds in Burkitt Ridge

Regent Homes is the builder at Burkitt Ridge, and they're developing it as one of their larger mixed-use communities in the Nashville market. Having a single builder across all three phases is a practical advantage when you're buying new: one set of construction standards, one design and selections process, one warranty, and one contract to understand from start to finish. Regent publishes its plans and current availability directly, so their official Burkitt Ridge community page is the most reliable starting point for floor plans and live inventory — we'll walk those with you and pull what's actually available rather than working off a third-party listing that may lag the builder.

Because the community is so large — 800 planned units across phases one through three — it's worth understanding that which phase a home sits in affects timing, pricing, and what's still selectable. All three phases are under active construction, so the right move is to ask which phase a given home or homesite belongs to, and what that means for your completion window. We'll help you sort that out so you're comparing like with like.

Homes & floor plans

Burkitt Ridge offers both townhomes and single-family homes, running 1,501 to 2,464 square feet across 2 to 3 bedrooms, with pricing that starts at $349,900. Lot sizes start at around 2,100 square feet, which is in keeping with a walkable, higher-density mixed-use community rather than a large-lot subdivision. One standout feature is the live/work townhome option, which pairs a residence with dedicated commercial space — a fit for buyers who want to run a business or studio from the same address as their home, right inside a community that's building out its own retail.

On standard features, Regent publishes 9-foot ceilings on all levels as a standard across the homes here, and the hilltop siting means homes are elevated above the Nolensville floodplain. Beyond that, what's standard versus an upgrade varies by plan and phase, so the move is to confirm the included-feature list against the specific plan and homesite you're considering rather than assuming everything in a model home carries over. For the full, current plan details, square-footage breakdowns, and any quick move-in homes, Regent's own Burkitt Ridge plan pages are the source of record — and we'll review them with you side by side.

Amenities & community life

Burkitt Ridge is designed as a walkable, mixed-use neighborhood rather than a strictly residential pod. The published amenities include a dog park, a tot lot, walking trails, sidewalks throughout, and open green spaces. Layered on top of that is the mixed-use component: Burkitt Commons brings planned retail boutiques and a future restaurant space, and the development includes a fire station site — so day-to-day life here is meant to put shops and gathering points within walking distance of home as the community fills in.

Because much of the retail and commercial side is still planned and being built out alongside the homes, the honest framing is that you're buying into a community on the way up rather than one that's fully realized today. For a buyer who wants a brand-new home inside a walkable, amenitied neighborhood — and who's comfortable watching the retail and green space come online over the build phases — that's a deliberate and appealing trade. It's worth confirming exactly which amenities are open now versus planned before you weigh it.

Location, access & schools

Burkitt Ridge sits on a hilltop overlooking Nolensville, off Burkitt Road in Cane Ridge, with the community centered around Westcott Lane in Cane Ridge, TN 37013 — streets here include Tasker Drive, Westcott Lane, and Ben Hill Drive. The location's main draw is access: it's less than three miles from Concord Road's retail and dining, and it reaches downtown Nashville via I-24. As with any Middle Tennessee address, the commute you actually live with depends on your specific destination and the time of day, so the honest move is to run your real drive from this block at your real rush hour before you commit, rather than trust a map estimate.

Burkitt Ridge is zoned to Henry C. Maxwell Elementary, Thurgood Marshall Middle School, and Cane Ridge High School in the Metro Nashville Public Schools feeder pattern. Regent Homes also donated a 15-acre site within the development for a future elementary school. School assignments in Middle Tennessee are tied to a specific address, not to the community name, and zoning can change — so share the exact lot address and we'll confirm the current assignments and pull the official report cards so you can build your own framework around the facts.

What to verify before you buy

• Current pricing and phase — the $349,900 starting figure is a builder-published from-price, not a quote; confirm the live number for the specific plan, homesite, and phase you want, plus any current incentives or quick move-in pricing.
• Townhome vs. single-family — decide which product fits, and if you're after the live/work townhome, confirm the dedicated commercial space, its allowed uses, and any separate requirements in writing.
• Floor plan and size fit — plans run 1,501 to 2,464 square feet and 2 to 3 bedrooms; decide which layout actually fits how you live before you fall for a model home.
• Standard features vs. upgrades — confirm which features (such as the 9-foot ceilings on all levels) are standard on your specific plan and phase, and which finishes are upgrade-priced.
• Lot and siting — lots start around 2,100 square feet; ask which homesites are still available and get frontage, orientation, and the hilltop/floodplain-elevation specifics on your exact lot in writing.
• HOA — confirm the current monthly dues and what they cover; published figures fall in roughly the $175-$243/month range depending on section and property type, with management by Ghertner & Company, but get the exact current amount for your home in writing.
• Amenities — confirm which amenities (dog park, tot lot, trails, the Burkitt Commons retail, the future restaurant space) are open now versus still planned for later phases.
• School assignment — Middle Tennessee schools are tied to the address, not the community name; share the lot address and we'll pull the current assigned schools and the official report cards.
• Build-out and timing — for a to-be-built home, get the realistic completion window and what's locked versus still selectable in writing, and ask which phase your home sits in.

On cost: most builders pay our commission, so representation is often free or low-cost to you, but it varies by builder and a $499 broker fee can apply — we'll tell you the exact cost up front before you write anything. Can't get to Cane Ridge in person? We'll send you a video walkthrough. Call The Will Johnson Team at 615-265-1000 and we'll pull the live numbers, phase availability, and HOA details at Burkitt Ridge for you.
