A Rare New Build Opportunity in Pennington Bend Area
If you haven’t heard about , let me put this on your radar. Located right off McGavock Pike in , this by M/I Homes is one of those quiet opportunities that buyers might miss if they aren’t paying attention.
I recently toured Pennington Mills in person, and I’ll be honest with you—it’s one of the few new home communities near Donelson where you can still get a modern home, a great commute, and a livable price point without having to move way out to Mt. Juliet or beyond. If you’re thinking about relocating to Nashville or upgrading from your current home, here’s what you need to know.
You don’t see a lot of new construction homes in Pennington Bend, and that’s part of what makes this community special. M/I Homes is building single-family homes in Nashville starting in the $470s, with floor plans ranging from 1,598 to nearly 3,000 square feet. These aren’t townhomes or narrow lots. You’re getting a real home with room to grow and options to personalize.
What stood out most to me is the location. You’re minutes from Briley Parkway, the airport, Opry Mills, and local green spaces like Two Rivers Park. This isn’t about being trendy. It’s about being in a smart spot that offers peace and quiet, close-in convenience, and long-term value.
Who Is This Community Right For?
I asked the on-site agent who’s been helping buyers here, and her answer matched what I expected.
Some buyers have moved over from nearby communities because they saw the value in this location and were ready to upgrade. Others are relocating to Nashville and want a neighborhood that feels peaceful and well-connected without being far out.
Pennington Mills is a great fit if you’re:
- Looking for more space than your current home but still want something manageable
- Wanting to live close to Inglewood or East Nashville, but need a more affordable price point
- Needing quick access to the airport or downtown Nashville
- Ready for a move-in ready home in Nashville without bidding wars, repairs, or renovations
If you’re someone who values location, simplicity, and long-term livability over hype and flash, this might be the move that makes sense for you.
Floor Plans, Features, and What to Expect
The homes come with two-car garages, brick elevations, and optional covered patios. Inside, you’ll find upgraded kitchens with granite countertops and stylish backsplashes already included in many of the Quick Move-In homes. Some floor plans feature oversized showers, soaking tubs, and flexible spaces perfect for a home office or guest room.
It’s not over the top, but it’s well done. You get quality where it matters most.
