Fairington in Nolensville: The New Neighborhood People Are Watching (What to Know Before Homes Hit Every MLS Feed)

If you keep hearing “Fairington” come up in Nolensville conversations, you’re not imagining it. This is one of the biggest new master-planned communities coming online in the area—and it’s designed to feel like a true neighborhood (not just a cluster of houses).


The quick take

  • Location: Off McFarlin Road, between Battle Road and Fly Road (Nolensville).
  • Scale: A large, multi-phase community planned across hundreds of acres, with hundreds of homes when complete.
  • Vibe: Walkable, “front porch” neighborhood energy—designed for connection, green space, and amenities.
  • Why it matters: Communities like this can reshape local inventory, school planning, traffic patterns, and resale demand over time.

Where is Fairington?

Fairington is located in Nolensville, centered off McFarlin Road between Battle Road and Fly Road. That puts it close to Nolensville’s everyday conveniences while still feeling tucked into the rolling hills that make this area such a draw.

Local context: Nolensville has long been a “space + charm” alternative to parts of Brentwood/Franklin—still convenient, but with a different pace. Fairington is built to lean into that lifestyle while adding planned neighborhood amenities.


What kind of neighborhood is it?

Fairington is being developed as a master-planned community—meaning it’s not just homes. It’s planned as an entire neighborhood experience: streetscapes, parks, trails, gathering spaces, and (eventually) a small village-style commercial component.

What’s planned (the parts buyers care about)

  • Amenities you’ll actually use: A resort-style pool, fitness component, and community gathering areas.
  • Trails + open space: Large portions of land preserved for parks and green space, with trail connectivity planned.
  • A “village center” concept: Future neighborhood-scale retail/restaurants/services are planned (think coffee runs and convenience, not a mall).
  • Community programming: A lifestyle/community manager model (events, neighborhood rhythm, seasonal programming).
  • Future school site: A portion of the plan is dedicated for a future elementary school site.

In plain English: Fairington is being built to feel like a place you live—rather than a place you park and sleep.

What types of homes will be there?

Fairington is planned to include a mix—townhomes and single-family homes across a range of sizes and architectural styles. The big theme is a cohesive “neighborhood” feel (walkability, sidewalks, and design consistency), rather than a patchwork of unrelated builders and aesthetics.

What to expect in real life

  • Neighborhood-forward design (porches, sidewalks, curated streetscapes)
  • Multiple home layouts to fit different life stages (from “lock-and-leave” to family-size)
  • A planned community cadence: model home phases, lot releases, and controlled inventory

If you’re trying to time this community, the key is understanding the release rhythm. In master-planned neighborhoods, “availability” doesn’t work like typical resale inventory.


Why Fairington is a big deal for Nolensville

Large master-planned communities can influence the surrounding market in a few predictable ways:

  • They create a new price anchor (buyers compare resale homes nearby to “new with amenities”).
  • They reshape demand (some buyers who would have bought an older home decide to wait for new construction).
  • They change the buyer profile (more relocation buyers, more “planned neighborhood” buyers, more lifestyle-driven choices).
  • They impact resales differently over time (phase 1 behaves differently than phase 4).

This is why “Nolensville market stats” can be misleading. A community like Fairington has its own ecosystem inside the larger town.


Buying in Fairington: what smart buyers do early

1) Decide what you’re optimizing for

  • Best lot? You’ll want to watch releases and be ready quickly.
  • Best price? Sometimes early phases are more favorable; sometimes later phases offer incentives—depends on demand and interest rates.
  • Best lifestyle? If amenities matter most, you’ll want clarity on timing and proximity within the neighborhood.

2) Understand how pricing really works in master-planned communities

In neighborhoods like this, the “base price” is just the beginning. Lot premiums, structural options, and design selections can move the real number fast. We like to map out a realistic “all-in” range before you fall in love with a floor plan.

3) Don’t assume every listing will show up on every real estate portal immediately

Some new construction inventory appears differently across platforms depending on how it’s entered, updated, or marketed. If you want real-time clarity on what’s available (and what’s coming), it’s usually better to track it intentionally rather than wait to stumble across it.


Already own nearby? Here’s what to watch

If you own a home near the McFarlin/Battle/Fly area—or generally in Nolensville—Fairington can affect your resale strategy. But not always the way people assume.

  • Competition: New builds become a shiny alternative, especially for relocation buyers.
  • Opportunity: A wave of people moving in can raise visibility and demand for nearby “established” neighborhoods.
  • Timing matters: Listing while a big phase release is happening can change your buyer pool and negotiating position.

If you’re thinking of selling in the next 6–18 months, it’s worth getting a neighborhood-specific plan (not just a Zestimate-style guess).


FAQ: Fairington in Nolensville

Inventory availability can change quickly in new construction communities, and it doesn’t always display consistently across every search portal. If you want, we can confirm current opportunities and what’s scheduled next.

Have a clear “must-have” list (lot, layout, timeline, budget), understand the all-in cost, and track releases intentionally—especially early on.
