We love seeing new development take shape, especially when it's designed with so much intention and vision. Stephens Valley, tucked perfectly between Brentwood and Franklin, is one of Middle Tennessee's most exciting communities on the rise. Set along the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway, this 980-acre master-planned neighborhood offers the best of both worlds: timeless architecture paired with modern convenience.
Created by Rochford Realty & Construction Company, Stephens Valley is more than just another development, it's a thoughtfully crafted community that delivers suburban peace without sacrificing easy access to city life.
Thoughtful Design and a Range of Homes
Stephens Valley features traditional architecture with deep porches, classic facades, and tree-lined streets that give it a small-town feel. Housing options include townhomes and condos starting in the $400,000s, single-family homes beginning in the mid-$600,000s, and custom luxury homes ranging from $1.2 million to over $2 million. Builders include Celebration Homes, Legend Homes, and Rochford Realty & Construction Company.
Nature, Community, and Everyday Living
Over 500 acres are reserved for parks, trails, and greenways, encouraging outdoor activity and community connection. The Village Green hosts year-round events like farmers markets and concerts, and future plans include pools, a fitness center, and neighborhood retail and dining.
Location and Local Amenities
Though surrounded by nature, Stephens Valley is minutes from everyday essentials. Nearby grocery stores include Publix and Kroger, and dining ranges from coffee spots like Frothy Monkey to local favorites like 55 South and Cork & Cow. Fitness options are abundant in nearby Brentwood and Franklin, and quality healthcare is available at Vanderbilt and Williamson Medical Centers.
Schools and Family Life
Located within the Williamson County School District, the community is zoned for top-rated public schools such as Grassland Elementary, Grassland Middle, and Franklin High School.
Development Timeline
Stephens Valley began as farmland in the 1930s and transitioned to a master-planned community in the 2010s. Approved in 2015, construction started soon after. Phase 1 included roads, infrastructure, and initial home builds. The community is now in Phase 2, adding more homes and access points. Phase 3 will introduce retail, civic spaces, and additional residences. Full build-out is expected over the next 10 to 20 years.
