Canterbury

Canterbury is a new-construction community in Thompson's Station, Tennessee, set within Williamson County and positioned midway between Franklin and Spring Hill. Built by Willow Branch Homes, the neighborhood leans into an Old World, European-influenced design language — tree-lined streets, traditional lamp posts, and a park-like setting that gives the community a distinctive look from the moment you turn in. New-construction pricing, available plans, and homesites move quickly here, so we always pull current numbers for you before you tour.

The Builder and Home Styles

Canterbury is a Willow Branch Homes community. The homes carry an Old World European-influenced architectural styling that sets the visual tone for the neighborhood, and the development uses underground utilities to keep streetscapes clean and uncluttered.

The community offers both single-family homes and townhomes, with floor plans ranging from roughly 1,800 to 3,400 square feet. That spread gives you room to compare a more compact townhome against a larger single-family layout depending on the space you need. Specific lot sizes, bedroom and bathroom counts, and the exact plans available can change as phases sell through, so we confirm what's actually on the board with Willow Branch when you're ready to look.

Amenities and Day-to-Day Life

Canterbury is designed around shared outdoor and gathering spaces. At the center of the amenity offering is a Junior Olympic swimming pool with a cabana and deck, alongside a separate children's pool with water features. For gathering and relaxing, the community includes a fire pit with seating areas, a park with a charcoal grill, and green event spaces, plus an amenity center.

The everyday feel is shaped by physical touches throughout the neighborhood: wide sidewalks for walking, traditional street lamps, and the tree-lined streets that contribute to the park-like atmosphere. As with any new-construction community, some amenities may still be under construction or phased in over time, so we confirm what's open and available when you visit.

Location and Commute

Canterbury sits in Thompson's Station, within Williamson County, in a spot positioned between Franklin and Spring Hill. The community is located roughly 30 minutes from Nashville, though real-world drive times depend heavily on where you're going and when you leave.

Rather than rely on a single estimate, the best move is to clock it yourself: punch in your actual workplace, school, or regular destination and run the route at your real departure time — a weekday morning, for example, will look different from a midday trip. If you'd like, we can map out the routes that matter to your daily routine before you commit.

Who It Fits

Canterbury tends to suit buyers who want new construction with a defined architectural character and a strong set of shared amenities. The mix of single-family homes and townhomes from about 1,800 to 3,400 square feet means there's flexibility for those wanting a smaller, lower-maintenance footprint as well as those who need a larger floor plan.

If you value outdoor gathering space — a Junior Olympic pool with cabana, a children's pool, fire pit, and a park with a grill — and you're drawn to walkable, tree-lined streets with a cohesive Old World look, this community is worth a serious look. The Thompson's Station location between Franklin and Spring Hill also appeals to buyers who want to be within reach of both.

What to Verify Before You Buy Here

• Current pricing — new-construction prices change fast, so ask us to pull live numbers on the specific plans and homesites available now.
• HOA dues and exactly what they cover — including which of the amenities (pool, amenity center, park, common-area maintenance) are funded by the dues.
• Lot specifics — the actual size, orientation, and any premiums on the homesites you're considering.
• Builder warranty — what Willow Branch Homes covers and for how long, and the claims process.
• What's included versus an upgrade — confirm which finishes, features, and structural options come standard and which add cost.
• Construction timeline — the realistic completion date for to-be-built homes and the status of any phased amenities.
• The real commute — drive your own routes at your actual departure times rather than relying on a single estimate.
