Cedars at Cane Ridge

Cedars at Cane Ridge is a brand-new 55+ active adult community in the Cane Ridge area of Antioch, Tennessee, roughly 15 miles southeast of downtown Nashville. Developed by Ashton Woods — the #1 private homebuilder in the country and 2023 BUILDER Magazine Builder of the Year — the community is planned for 136 homes total, with construction having started in 2025. What sets Cedars at Cane Ridge apart in the Nashville metro is its affordability: new single-family homes start around $430,000 and are priced more than 10% below the area's average of roughly $479,000, making it one of the more accessible new-construction 55+ options near Nashville. The community mixes two product lines. One-story single-family homes range from 1,815 to 2,019 square feet with 3-4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms, and attached two-car garages. Floor plans like the Darlington II and Equinox feature primary suites on the main floor, flex rooms that double as studies or dens, open-concept great rooms, covered rear patios, and walk-in tiled showers with dual vanities in the primary bath. Standard finishes include energy-efficient insulation and HVAC, granite or quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and designer-curated interior collections (such as the Canvas and Serene Collections) for buyers who don't want to pick every finish themselves. Townhomes are also available — two-story plans like the Bradford with primary suites on the main level, second-floor bedrooms or bonus rooms, rear-facing garages, and vaulted great rooms, typically priced from the mid-$290,000s into the high $300,000s. The setting has a country-feel despite being squarely inside Davidson County. The community sits off Pettus Road with entry via Holly Ridge, tucked into rolling terrain with well-landscaped green spaces, ponds, and walking paths woven through the neighborhood. On-site amenities are purposefully low-key: an outdoor community pavilion with picnic tables, pickleball courts with seating, a walking trail that loops around the ponds and greenspace, sidewalks, a dog park, and underground utilities. There is no clubhouse, pool, or golf course — this is a community built around easy living, light socialization, and access to Nashville rather than a resort-style amenity package. The HOA handles lawn care, landscaping, and snow removal, so residents don't have to. Location is the community's strongest pitch. I-24 access is less than 10 minutes away via Bell Road (exit 59) or Hickory Hollow Parkway (exit 60A), connecting residents to downtown Nashville in about 20-25 minutes and to Nashville International Airport (BNA) in roughly 15 minutes (14 miles). Daily conveniences are minutes away: Publix, Kroger, ALDI, Whole Foods Market, and Walmart Supercenter for groceries; Walgreens, Walmart, and Kroger pharmacies; and three major healthcare providers — TriStar Southern Hills Medical Center, TriStar Centennial Medical Center, and Siloam Health Antioch. The newly developed Tanger Outlets Nashville shopping mall is nearby, along with Plaza Mariachi (live music, restaurants, bars, breweries, coffee shops, boutiques), The Ford Ice Center, the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere, Antioch Park, and Smith Springs Recreation Center. Outdoor options abound with Long Hunter State Park, Mill Creek Park, Mill Ridge Park, and Orchard Bend Park, and golfers have Hermitage Golf Course, Two Rivers Golf Course, and Nashboro Golf Club within an easy drive. Cedars at Cane Ridge will appeal to active adult buyers who want new construction, a low-maintenance lifestyle, and quick access to big-city amenities without paying Brentwood or Franklin prices — and who don't need a big resort-style amenity center to feel at home.
