Del Webb Southern Harmony

Del Webb Southern Harmony at a glance

Del Webb Southern Harmony is an active-adult, age-restricted (55+) master-planned community on 576 acres in west Murfreesboro, near the I-24/I-840 interchange off Franklin Road (Highway 96). It is a partnership between Del Webb (PulteGroup's active-adult brand) as the home builder and Freehold Communities as the land developer. The plan calls for 1,111 single-family homesites at full build-out, all single-story designs, with prices starting at $479,990. The community held its grand opening April 12–13, 2024, and is actively selling: as of early 2026, 103 homes have closed and 33-plus more are under contract — a community that is well past its launch and clearly delivering, but still early in a build-out of more than a thousand homes.

Del Webb communities are built around a specific buyer: adults 55 and older who want a low-maintenance, single-story home and a programmed, amenity-rich lifestyle next door. Southern Harmony fits that mold. Homes emphasize one-level living, the HOA folds in lawn care and grounds upkeep, and the centerpiece is the 21,516-square-foot Farmstead Clubhouse, which opened in February 2025. For a relocating buyer — and Del Webb draws a lot of out-of-state movers — the appeal is straightforward: a new home with a warranty, a turnkey amenity calendar run by a full-time Lifestyle Director, and a Murfreesboro address with quick interstate access.

Who builds in Del Webb Southern Harmony

Del Webb is the sole home builder at Southern Harmony. Del Webb is PulteGroup's active-adult (55+) brand and one of the most established names in age-targeted new construction in the country, with decades of building communities designed specifically around one-story living, accessibility, and on-site lifestyle programming. Having a single builder across the whole community means the floor plan library, finish options, warranty, and design-studio process are consistent from one homesite to the next — there's one set of plans and one process to learn, which many relocating buyers find simpler to navigate than a multi-builder neighborhood.

The land itself is developed by Freehold Communities, a master-plan developer that handles the overall site plan, roads, trails, and amenity infrastructure while Del Webb builds the homes. That division is common in large active-adult communities: the developer shapes the 576-acre canvas and the builder fills it in. Del Webb organizes its homes here into three series — Scenic (priced in the $500s–$600s), Distinctive (around $700K), and Echelon ($1M+) — which span everything from an efficient single-story home to a larger, more highly appointed residence. We can walk you through which series and plans are open and selling in the current phase before you plan a visit.

Homes & floor plans

Southern Harmony is all single-family, single-story new construction — Del Webb's hallmark is one-level living, and the plans here lean into it. Published home sizes range from about 1,345 to 3,536 finished square feet, with 2 to 4 bedrooms, so the spread runs from a compact, easy-to-maintain home up to a larger plan with room for guests, a home office, or a hobby space. Pricing starts at $479,990 and rises across the three series, which lets a buyer dial in size and finish level against budget rather than being locked into one price point.

The three series give the community its range. The Scenic series sits in the $500s–$600s and covers the more efficient single-story plans; the Distinctive series runs around $700K with larger footprints and more included appointments; and the Echelon series reaches $1M and up for the most spacious, highly customized homes. Specific floor plan names, standard features, and available homesites change as each phase opens and sells through, so the right move is to view Del Webb's official plan pages for current offerings — and let us cross-check what's actually open, quick-move-in versus to-be-built, and how the series compare for the way you want to live.

One connectivity note relocating buyers ask about constantly: the community is wired with AT&T Gig Fiber internet, and that service is bundled into the monthly HOA — so gigabit internet is part of the package rather than a separate line item to set up. Lot sizes aren't individually published, and they vary across the 576-acre plan; we confirm the specific homesite, orientation, and dimensions on any home you're considering.

Amenities & community life

The amenity package is the reason many buyers choose an active-adult community, and Southern Harmony's centerpiece is the 21,516-square-foot Farmstead Clubhouse, which opened in February 2025. It anchors the social life of the community and is run day to day by a full-time Lifestyle Director who programs the resident calendar — classes, clubs, and events — so the social layer is organized rather than left to chance. Inside and around the clubhouse, residents have a fitness center, an indoor lap pool, a ballroom, a demonstration kitchen, and an amphitheater for community gatherings and performances.

Outside, the amenities are built for everyday active use:

• Resort-style outdoor pool with cabanas
• Indoor lap pool for year-round swimming
• 8 pickleball courts
• Bocce courts
• Amphitheater for events and performances
• Outdoor kitchen and barbecue area with a fire pit
• Botanical park and a fishing pond
• 20 miles of walking and biking trails threaded through the community

Twenty miles of trails across a 576-acre plan is a genuinely substantial network — enough to make walking and biking a daily habit rather than an occasional outing. The monthly HOA is $389 and bundles in lawn care, grounds maintenance, pool and fitness access, AT&T Gig Fiber internet, and trash service, which is what keeps the living 'low-maintenance' in practice. HOA dues and what they cover can change, so confirm the current figure and inclusions with us before you write an offer.

Location, access & schools

Southern Harmony sits in west Murfreesboro along Franklin Road, Legato Boulevard, and Highway 96, near the I-24/I-840 interchange. That location is a big part of the draw: I-24 connects northwest toward Nashville and southeast toward Chattanooga, while I-840 is the southern loop that ties Rutherford County to Williamson County and the rest of the metro without routing through downtown. For a community this far out, the interstate access keeps the airport, Nashville, and the broader region within a practical drive.

Murfreesboro itself is one of the larger cities in the metro and the seat of Rutherford County, with the full range of everyday services — shopping, healthcare, dining, and the campus of Middle Tennessee State University — so residents aren't dependent on driving into Nashville for daily needs. The west side of town, where Southern Harmony sits, is in the Rockvale area, a more open, semi-rural edge of the county that has seen steady new-home development.

The community is served by Rutherford County Schools and zoned to Rockvale Elementary, Rockvale Middle School, and Rockvale High School. Because Southern Harmony is age-restricted (55+), school zoning matters mainly for resale and long-term planning rather than day-to-day life here. School attendance zones can be redrawn, so confirm the current assignment with the district for any specific homesite.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move week to week, and a few things are worth confirming with us before you write an offer rather than relying on a published page:

• Current pricing by series and plan — the $479,990 starting point and the Scenic/Distinctive/Echelon bands move with the market and incentives.
• Which phase is open, and which homes are quick-move-in versus to-be-built, since a 1,111-home community releases homesites in stages.
• Availability of the specific floor plan, series, and homesite you want — the most popular plans and lots sell through first.
• The current monthly HOA figure and exactly what it includes — and any age-restriction and community rules that come with a 55+ deed-restricted community.
• Lot specifics — dimensions, orientation, and any premium — since lot sizes here aren't individually published.
• Builder warranty terms and the design-studio process and deadlines for the home you're considering.

We pull the live numbers, current inventory, and incentive details for you on any specific home, so you're comparing real, current figures rather than a snapshot.
