Hillcrest Village

Hillcrest Village at a glance

Hillcrest Village is an active new-construction community by M/I Homes in Columbia, the seat of Maury County, set on the corner of Highway 31 near Pulaski Highway and about three miles from Columbia's Historic Downtown District. It is a planned neighborhood of single-family homes and townhomes, launched with 55 homesites across two opening collections — the Briley and Braxton series — with a model home that opened in May 2026. The community is currently selling, with multiple floor plans available and a handful of homes already in inventory, so a buyer can either tour a finished home or start a build.

The setting is a Columbia address with quick reach to Maury County's largest employers, which shapes who tends to look here. M/I Homes positions the neighborhood toward first-time buyers, young professionals, and empty-nesters — a mix you would expect from a community that pairs a townhome option with single-family plans starting at $299,990. For an out-of-state buyer who wants new construction with a model to walk and a builder warranty behind it, Hillcrest Village is a straightforward starting point on the south side of the Nashville metro.

Who builds in Hillcrest Village

Hillcrest Village is built by M/I Homes, a national homebuilder active across Tennessee's mid-state market. M/I is the sole builder here, which keeps the buying process simple: one builder, one set of plans, one warranty, and one design and sales team. The company opened the community's model home on May 15, 2026 with a grand-opening event and is actively selling new homes from its on-site sales office.

The current plan library spans both product types in the community — single-family homes and townhomes — under collection names buyers will see on site, including the Briley and Braxton series that anchor the opening phases. M/I markets several floor plans here, among them the Harrison, Madison, Braxton, Tipton, Columbus, and Whitley plans. Because plan availability and pricing move as a community sells through its early phases, treat any specific plan as something to confirm as current before you plan a visit.

Homes & floor plans

Hillcrest Village offers two home types. The single-family homes run from roughly 1,489 to 2,884 finished square feet with three to four bedrooms, and pricing starts at $299,990. The townhomes are a single footprint at about 1,677 square feet, giving buyers a lower-maintenance option within the same neighborhood. That spread — a compact single-family plan at the entry end, a near-3,000-square-foot home at the top, and a townhome in between — is what lets the community speak to first-time buyers, professionals, and empty-nesters at the same time.

M/I markets several named floor plans here, including the Harrison, Madison, Braxton, Tipton, Columbus, and Whitley plans across the Briley and Braxton collections. Standard features, included finishes, and the exact bed-and-bath count vary by plan, so the cleanest way to compare is to look at the builder's official plan pages for current specifications — and we are glad to pull those together with you, plan by plan, against your must-haves.

Amenities & community life

Hillcrest Village is planned as a walkable neighborhood rather than a cluster of lots. The community amenities include playgrounds, a dog park, a community garden, a picnic area, and a scenic overlook, all tied together by walking trails. The streetscape leans into that same idea, with sidewalks, streetlamps, and tree-lined streets running through the neighborhood.

Day to day, that mix supports the buyers M/I is aiming at: green space and a dog park for the empty-nester walking the neighborhood, playgrounds and the picnic area for households who want somewhere to gather, and trails and sidewalks that connect the homes on foot. The overlook and community garden give the plan a couple of distinctive gathering spots beyond the usual subdivision green.

Location, access & schools

Hillcrest Village sits on the corner of Highway 31 near Pulaski Highway in Columbia, about three miles from the Historic Downtown District. The main streets inside the community include Peaceful Valley Drive, Rolling Brook Drive, and Sharpstone Drive, and the model home and sales office are located on Peaceful Valley Drive in Columbia, TN 38401.

For buyers weighing the commute, the community is close to Maury County's major employers, including General Motors, Tennessee Farm Bureau, Maury Regional Health, and Magna International — a meaningful draw for a household relocating for work on the south side of the metro. The neighborhood is zoned to Maury County Schools: Joseph Brown Elementary School, Whitthorne Middle School, and Columbia Central High School. School zoning can change, so confirm current attendance boundaries with the district and with us for the specific homesite before you buy.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move week to week, so a few things are worth confirming with us before you write an offer rather than assuming them from any listing site:

• Current pricing and the exact plan price for the home or lot you want — the $299,990 starting figure is a builder base price and changes with options and phase.
• Which phase is open and which of the 55 initial homesites remain, since availability shifts as the early collections sell.
• Current inventory of completed or near-complete homes versus build-to-order timelines.
• HOA dues and what they cover — confirm the current amount and terms directly before you rely on any number.
• Lot specifics, included features by plan, and which finishes are standard versus an upgrade.
• Current school attendance zones for the specific address.

The on-site sales office is open Monday 2-6 PM, Tuesday through Saturday 10 AM-6 PM, and Sunday 12-6 PM — but it is worth having buyer representation in your corner before that first visit, not after.
