Markham East

Markham East at a glance

Markham East is a mixed-use townhome community in Donelson, just east of downtown Nashville in Davidson County, set along Lebanon Pike. It was planned as a compact, trail-oriented development of roughly 101 to 106 townhomes built in 2-story and 3-story configurations, with a 3,000-square-foot commercial building folded into the site. One of its defining features is location: the community sits less than a quarter-mile walk from the Music City Star (WeGo Star) Donelson commuter rail station, with a planned connection to the Stones River Greenway.

The townhomes are priced from the $240,000s and range from about 1,300 to 1,600 square feet, with a documented 3-bedroom primary floor plan. As of June 2026 the community is actively selling but nearly sold out, with only a few units remaining. Because the homes are walkable to commuter rail and the greenway and sit at an attainable new-construction price point for the area, Markham East tends to draw buyers who value low-maintenance townhome living and easy access to transit and the trail network. We tour Donelson new construction regularly and can tell you what is genuinely still available.

Who builds in Markham East

Markham East is built by Legacy South, a Nashville-area new-construction builder. Legacy South is responsible for the townhome product here, and the community reflects a deliberate mixed-use, trail-oriented concept rather than a standard subdivision layout, pairing residential townhomes with a commercial building and pedestrian connections to transit and the greenway.

Because builder details and available plans change as a community sells through, we recommend confirming current Legacy South offerings directly through the builder. We can pull the builder's official plan information and live availability for you so you are comparing real, current options rather than older listings.

Homes & floor plans

Homes at Markham East are townhomes built in 2-story and 3-story designs. They range from approximately 1,300 to 1,600 square feet, and a 3-bedroom primary floor plan is documented for the community. Roughly 70% of the townhomes include a 2-car garage on the first level, which is a meaningful feature in an attached-home community where parking and storage matter to buyers.

• Home type: townhome
• Architecture: 2-story and 3-story configurations
• Size range: approximately 1,300 - 1,600 sq ft
• Bedrooms: 3-bedroom primary floor plan documented
• Garages: roughly 70% have first-level 2-car garages
• Pricing: from the $240,000s

Specific floor plan names, current inventory, and exact pricing are best confirmed on Legacy South's official Markham East plan pages, since a nearly sold-out community can change week to week. We are happy to walk you through the available plans, compare them against other Donelson and Davidson County new construction, and pull live numbers so you know exactly what is on the table.

Amenities & community life

Markham East was designed as a walkable, trail-oriented community rather than an amenity-heavy resort-style development. Day-to-day life centers on the pedestrian-friendly streetscape and the community's connection to transit and the greenway, which is part of what makes it distinctive among new-construction options in the area.

• Dog park
• Community grill area
• Green spaces
• Sidewalks throughout
• Street lamps
• Planned connection to the Stones River Greenway
• 3,000 sq ft commercial building on site (mixed-use)

For buyers, that mix means you can walk the dog, gather at the grill area, and step onto greenway and transit connections without getting in the car. We can confirm which amenities and connections are complete versus planned at the time you tour, since phasing varies in a community that is nearly built out.

Location, access & schools

Markham East sits along Lebanon Pike in Donelson, putting it within easy reach of east Nashville, the airport corridor, and downtown. The headline location advantage is transit: the community is less than a quarter-mile walk to the Music City Star (WeGo Star) Donelson commuter rail station, and it is planned to connect to the Stones River Greenway, giving residents both a rail option and trail access from the neighborhood.

The community is zoned to the following Metro Nashville public schools:

• McGavock Elementary School
• Donelson Middle School
• McGavock High School

School zones can change, so we always recommend confirming current attendance zones directly with Metro Nashville Public Schools before you make a decision based on schools.

What to verify before you buy

Markham East is a fast-moving, nearly sold-out community, so a few details are worth confirming before you write an offer. We will help you verify all of these in real time so there are no surprises.

• Current pricing and any builder incentives, since published figures can lag the market
• Exactly which units and floor plans are still available, given limited remaining inventory
• Garage configuration and square footage on the specific home you are considering
• HOA details, dues, and what they cover (we will confirm the current amount with the builder)
• Lot, parking, and any phasing or completion timelines for amenities and the greenway connection
• Warranty terms and what is and is not included in the base price

We pull live numbers and current availability directly so you are deciding on accurate, up-to-date information rather than older online listings.
