Community Highlights
A quick view of what defines Westhaven.
What to Expect in Westhaven
A town, not just a subdivision. Westhaven’s Town Center was completed in 2021 with more than 30 businesses and services, and Magli Green, a lakefront park in the Town Center, is open to the public for concerts and events.
Still growing. The City of Franklin approved 3,444 units for Westhaven. Its 2024 Development Report counted 2,481 built, and new sections are still selling today.
An HOA and a Residents’ Club. Westhaven has an HOA office and a 15,000-square-foot Residents’ Club. Dues vary by section and change over time, so I get the current figure for any home you’re considering.
Golf is separate. Westhaven Golf Club sells memberships on its own, and the club offers memberships to people who don’t live in Westhaven. I haven’t found any source that requires golf membership with a home.
Utilities. Westhaven is inside Franklin city limits. The City of Franklin’s water-district map places it in the H.B. & T.S. Utility District for water.

How Westhaven pricing works
I keep price figures off this page because they change every week, and a condo, a townhome and a custom home here sit in very different ranges. Text me and I’ll pull today’s numbers, new and resale, for the type of home you want. Selling a higher-end home here? Read how I approach selling a luxury home in Franklin.

Westhaven Golf Club
The course. Westhaven Golf Club is an 18-hole, par 72 Arthur Hills design that measures 7,000 yards from the championship tee. It’s a core course, meaning no homes sit on it, with views of the Harpeth River and historic stone walls.
Practice and dining. The indoor Golf Performance Center has three hitting bays for practice and club fitting, and the Turn Grille and an upper-level restaurant serve seasonal American food.
Membership. The club sells full golf, national and dining memberships separately from the homes. Ask the club for current terms.
Westhaven Town Center
Front Street is the heart of the Town Center. The developer lists a Kroger for groceries, and restaurants on Front Street include Coal Town Public House, Scout’s Pub, Oscar’s Taco Shop and Fika Cafe. Businesses change, so check a favorite spot before you plan around it.

Schools That Serve Westhaven
Westhaven is in the Williamson County Schools district, not the Franklin Special School District. For the 2026-27 school year, the district’s zone locator assigns the Westhaven addresses I checked to Pearre Creek Elementary, Hillsboro Middle and Independence High. Pearre Creek Elementary sits inside Westhaven at 1811 Townsend Boulevard.
School zones can change, so confirm any specific address with the Williamson County Schools zone locator before you buy.
