Del Webb Lake Providence- This isn't just a neighborhood; it's a new chapter.
Del Webb at Lake Providence, at a glance
Del Webb at Lake Providence is a gated, 55+ active adult community of 1,029 homes in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, about 22 miles east of downtown Nashville. Del Webb built it between 2007 and 2015. It is now sold out, which means every home that comes available is a resale.
Location: Mt. Juliet, Wilson County, TN 37122
Homes: 1,029, detached and villa-style (villas are two or three homes attached)
Built: 2007 to 2015, no new construction
Age restriction: at least one resident must be 55 or older
Gated: yes, three entrances
Median sale price: $569,000 over the last 12 months
HOA: $419 per month for single family, $553 for villas
Is Del Webb Lake Providence still building new homes?
No. Construction ran from 2007 to 2015 and the community is sold out. Every purchase here is a resale from a current owner.
That cuts both ways, and it is worth understanding before you start looking.
What you get: mature landscaping that has had close to two decades to fill in, an established social structure that is already running, and a community where you can talk to actual residents about what living here is like rather than relying on a sales center.
What you give up: builder incentives, a structural warranty, and the ability to pick your finishes. These homes are 11 to 19 years old. Depending on the year, some are on original roofs, HVAC systems and water heaters. That is normal for the age and it is something to look at closely during inspection, not a reason to walk away.
If new construction is what you actually want, you have options nearby. Del Webb is currently building at Barton Village in Lebanon, roughly 15 minutes from here, and at Southern Harmony in Murfreesboro. I would rather point you there than sell you something that is not what you are looking for.
What makes Del Webb Lake Providence unique?
-
Offers peace of mind with secure, age-restricted living tailored to active adults.
-
Four series to choose from: Villas, Franklin, Hermitage and Centennial. Villas are 2-bedroom, 2-bath attached homes, built two or three to a building. Detached plans run up to roughly 3,000 square feet. Homes that actually sold here over the past year ranged from about 1,240 to 2,970 square feet, with the typical home right around 1,775.
-
A clubhouse of more than 26,000 square feet with a full fitness facility, an indoor walking track, and a dance and aerobics studio. Classes run all week: Pilates, line dancing, low-impact aerobics, Zumba and water workouts. Across the bridge, the Sports Complex has three pickleball courts, two tennis courts, a bocce court and a half basketball court.
-
Whether it’s lap swimming or lazy Sundays poolside, residents have 365-day options for exercise and relaxation. Add to that a 13-acre lake stocked with bluegill and bass, with kayaks and paddle boats available to residents, plus walking trails and garden plots you can rent.
-
From dance socials to aerobics, the tight-knit community keeps busy, makes friends, and truly lives life to the fullest
-
Nestled in Mt. Juliet, just outside Nashville—close enough to city amenities, but peaceful and serene at home. The Providence area has everything from doctors office to dining, shopping and more!
“At Del Webb, you’re not just buying a home—you’re buying a lifestyle of health, connection, and carefree living.”
Who this community is for, and who it isn't
Most pages about this community will tell you it is wonderful. It is, for the right person. Here is the honest version of both sides.
This is likely a strong fit if:
You want social infrastructure that already exists. There are over five dozen chartered clubs and groups here, plus 38 unchartered groups, a resident-run lecture program, and a full-time Lifestyle Director. You do not have to build a social life from scratch.
You want to stop doing yard work. The Association handles mowing, edging, fertilizer, weed control, aeration, overseeding, shrub pruning, mulching and fall leaf cleanup.
You want a gate and a quiet street.
You are relocating from out of state and do not know anyone here yet.
You are still working. Plenty of residents are. The community's governing documents do restrict business use of a home, and not all business activity is prohibited, but there is a defined process for getting a determination from the Modifications Committee. If you plan to run something out of the house, ask them first.
This is probably not the right fit if:
You want to make the house your own. Exterior changes go through the Modifications Committee, which meets the first and third Tuesday of each month, and no work can begin before approval. That includes paint, fences, patios, awnings, storm doors and most landscaping changes. For a lot of people that is the appeal. For some it is a dealbreaker.
You want a fenced yard and fully maintenance-free living. You can have one or the other. Fence the yard and the Association stops maintaining the grass inside it.
You are planning on grandchildren for the whole summer. Visits are fine, but no one under 19 may stay overnight more than 90 days in a rolling 12-month period.
You are picturing a 24-hour guarded gate. The main gate is staffed roughly 74 hours a week, with a call box outside those hours.
You want to walk to dinner. This is a car-dependent suburb. Providence Marketplace is close, but you are driving there.
What homes actually sell for in Del Webb Lake Providence
Based on 61 closed sales in the community over the 12 months ending August 14, 2026. Source: RealTracs MLS. Updated quarterly.
Median sale price: $569,000
Range of closed sales: $385,000 to $865,000
Median price per square foot: $299
Median home size sold: 1,774 sq ft
Homes sold in 12 months: 61, about 5 per month
Median days from list to contract: 37
Median sale-to-list price: 98.4%
What those numbers mean in practice.
About 5.9% of the community changes hands each year. On 1,029 homes that is roughly five sales a month, which sounds like plenty until you break it down by floor plan. If you want a specific plan, you may be waiting on one of only five or six comparable homes to come up all year.
Two thirds of homes sold below asking. Only 20 of 60 closed sales met or beat list price, and the median came in at 98.4% of list. There is more negotiating room here than people expect coming from hotter markets.
Price per square foot runs backward from what you would guess. Villa-sized homes trade around $316 per square foot while homes over 2,500 square feet trade closer to $271. Smaller does not mean cheaper per foot here. If you are comparing listings on a per-foot basis you will draw the wrong conclusion.
Speed depends heavily on size.
Under 1,500 sq ft (villas and small plans): 17 sales, median $424,000, $316 per sq ft, 45 days to contract
1,500 to 1,999 sq ft: 20 sales, median $549,950, $316 per sq ft, 39 days to contract
2,000 to 2,499 sq ft: 8 sales, median $622,000, $278 per sq ft, 16 days to contract
2,500 sq ft and up: 16 sales, median $749,500, $271 per sq ft, 36 days to contract
The 2,000 to 2,499 square foot range is the fastest-moving segment in the community by a wide margin.
Sales are seasonal. The strongest closing months this past year were May, June, September and July. November through February were the quietest, with one to three closings a month. If you are selling, that pattern should drive when you list.
What is available right now matters as much as what sold. As of mid-August 2026 there were eight active listings and only one was under 2,000 square feet, with a median active list price of about $757,000. Villas and right-sized plans are the most sought-after inventory here and they rarely reach the open market in quantity. That is why I run a notification list instead of telling people to check Zillow.
Rules worth knowing before you buy
This is a community with real standards. For most people that is exactly the appeal, since it is why the streets look the way they do 19 years in. Here is what it means day to day.
Exterior changes need approval. The Modifications Committee is this community's architectural review body. It meets the first and third Tuesday of each month and emails decisions within 48 hours. No exterior work can start before approval. That covers additions, paint, fences, patios, decks, awnings, storm doors, security cameras and most landscaping changes.
Some things do not need approval. Planting or removing annuals in existing beds or pots, planting or removing vegetables in beds or pots in your rear private area, and pruning or removing any plant other than the required front door bed shrubs or your theme tree.
Fences. Rear yard only, 48 inches maximum height, no more than 26 feet behind the rear wall of the home, and at least 10 feet off your rear property line. No fences in front or side yards. Landscaping arranged to act as a "living fence" is not approvable either.
Pets. Dogs and cats must be leashed or otherwise restrained any time they are outside the home or your private area. No free roaming. Persistent outdoor barking is not permitted. Electronic restraint systems are allowed but must keep the pet in the rear yard only, and pet doors are allowed only on doors opening to the rear private area, with committee approval.
RVs and boats. No overnight parking on the streets. You can keep one in your driveway for up to 24 hours in any seven-day period for loading, unloading or maintenance.
The rules change. The Association has logged nearly 50 revisions to its rules handbook since 2023. That is a sign of an engaged board rather than a chaotic one, but it does mean you should check the current version rather than relying on an old copy.
Rules verified against the Association's Rules and Regulations Handbook revised January 21, 2026 and Guide to Living Here revised January 1, 2026. The Association updates these periodically. Confirm the current version at liveatdwlp.com.
What it's actually like to live here
Everything above this point you could verify yourself with enough digging. This part you can't, so here is what I have seen.
Is it as social as people say?
This is the thing that stands out to me most. It is genuinely easy to meet people here.
You can walk into the clubhouse and people say hello. You can take your dog out and end up in a conversation. You can be outside and have a neighbor start talking to you. None of it feels staged or organized. It just happens.
I think that matters most for two kinds of buyers: someone relocating from out of state who doesn't know a soul in Tennessee, and someone entering a new stage of life. Having a social environment already in place makes that transition much easier than building one from scratch.
I'll be honest that this is what I observe, not a promise about how any one person will experience it. Some people want to be in the middle of everything. Some want to be left alone. Both live here.
Who actually lives here
The age range is wider than people expect when they hear "55+."
There are residents who just turned 55 and are still working, traveling and going hard. There are residents in their 80s who are active and deeply involved in the community. There is no single type of person here and no single lifestyle. It's a mix of ages, personalities and ways of living.
What the mix has in common is energy. Across the whole age range, this community feels active, social and engaged. If you're picturing a retirement community in the traditional sense, that isn't what this is.
What surprises people at showings
Villa privacy, almost every time.
Buyers hear "villa," picture a small lot with a neighbor right on top of them, and walk in braced for it. Then they get out to the yard and find it feels far more private than they expected.
The reason is the landscaping. Lake Providence has mature trees and plantings throughout, and the community has had close to two decades to fill in. On a smaller lot with homes closer together, that maturity does a lot of work. I watch buyers recalibrate on this at nearly every villa showing.
About fences
Some homes already have small fences, and you can add one with approval from the Modifications Committee. It's worth considering if you have a dog or you want a defined outdoor space.
Two things to know going in. The fence is yours to install and maintain. And the Association stops maintaining the grass inside it, so you're taking the mowing back.
I'm not going to tell you a fence adds to your resale value. I haven't seen data that supports that, and I'd rather say so than guess.
What moves fast
The MLS is clear on one point. Homes in the 2,000 to 2,499 square foot range go under contract in a median of about 16 days, faster than any other size range in the community.
Past that, here is what I observe rather than what I can prove. Homes that have been updated tend to move faster than homes that feel dated. Almost every lot here is attractive, but the premium ones draw more attention.
I ran the lot question against the last 12 months of sales to see whether that observation holds up. Among homes of comparable size, the ones on larger lots went under contract about eight days faster, but they did not sell for more per square foot. So lot quality may show up as speed rather than price. The sample is small enough that I would treat that as a working theory, not a rule.
Buying from out of state
A large share of the buyers I work with here are relocating from somewhere else. Several have bought without ever standing in the house. It works, and it is more common than you would think.
What the process looks like: I walk the home on video with you live, so you can stop me and ask about the water heater or how loud the street is. I send unedited photos and video, not listing photos. I represent you at the inspection and walk it with the inspector. Tennessee closings are handled by a title company rather than an attorney, which surprises buyers from the Northeast, and remote closing is straightforward.
Two logistical things specific to this community that nobody tells you in advance:
Every resident has to sign an Informed Consent Release Waiver and Age Verification Form in person at the Clubhouse. These cannot be signed off site. So even a fully remote purchase requires one trip out here afterward to finish onboarding.
Gate remotes come from the seller at closing and have to be re-registered at the Clubhouse in your name. Extra remotes are $45 each.
On taxes, since it comes up in every relocation conversation: Tennessee has no state income tax and does not tax Social Security or retirement account withdrawals. There is no estate or inheritance tax. Property taxes in Wilson County are assessed on 25% of appraised value, which is a different system than most states use and generally works out favorably. Talk to your CPA about your specific situation rather than taking my word for it.

Available Homes in Del Webb Lake Providence
Looking for a low-maintenance, one-level home with resort-style amenities and a strong sense of community?
Del Webb Lake Providence offers a variety of thoughtfully designed homes built with active adults in mind—many with sunrooms, private patios, and open-concept layouts perfect for hosting family or simply enjoying your space.
Whether you’re searching for a move-in ready property or want early access to upcoming listings, I can help you find the right fit—without the overwhelm.
-
Yes. It is an age-restricted active adult community, and at least one resident of each home must be 55 or older.
Every resident signs an age verification form in person at the Clubhouse as part of onboarding after closing.
One rule worth knowing if you have grandchildren: no one under 19 may stay overnight for more than 90 days in a rolling 12-month period. Visits are no problem. A long-term arrangement is.
If you have a specific household situation, confirm it directly with the Association before you write an offer.
-
No. Del Webb built the community between 2007 and 2015 and it is sold out. Every purchase is a resale.
If you want new construction, Del Webb is currently building at Barton Village in Lebanon, about 15 minutes away, and at Southern Harmony in Murfreesboro.
-
Two tiers. Single family homes are $419 a month, which is $5,028 a year. Villas are $553, or $6,636 a year. Villas run higher because the HOA carries the exterior insurance on the building.
There is also a one-time transfer fee at closing, and this one catches people off guard: 1.2% of the purchase price on single family homes and 1.53% on villas. On a $569,000 single family home that is roughly $6,830. On a $424,000 villa, about $6,490. Build it into your closing costs from the start rather than discovering it late.
Rates as of August 2026. Assessments are set annually and subject to change.
-
Quite a bit, and it is worth knowing exactly where the line falls.
Landscape and lawn: mowing, edging, fertilizer and weed control, aeration and overseeding, shrub pruning, mulching, fall leaf cleanup, and removal or replacement of dead shrubs and trees.
Trash, picked up every Monday.
Everything at the clubhouse and the Sports Complex, plus the full social and lifestyle program.
Two things it does not cover, and these catch people off guard. There is no recycling service through the Association, and Wilson County has no free curbside recycling either. The nearest drop-off is the convenience center on Stewarts Ferry Pike.
And this is the one almost nobody mentions: if you fence your yard, the Association stops maintaining the grass inside the fence. That part becomes yours. So if you are picturing a fenced yard for the dog and fully maintenance-free living, you will have to pick one.
Water, gas, electric, sewer, internet and TV are all on the homeowner.
-
Yes. Three entrances total: a main gate with a staffed gatehouse, plus two residents-only gates on South Rutland, one at Proclamation Way and one at Southern Way Blvd.
The main gate is staffed Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Outside those hours there is a call box at the gatehouse. Your guest finds your name in the directory, dials your code, and you press 9 on your phone to open the gate. Residents come and go any time with a remote.
Worth knowing up front: this is a staffed gate, not a 24-hour guarded one. Most people find it is exactly what they wanted, but a few expect around-the-clock staffing, so I would rather you hear it from me now than at a showing.
-
Over the 12 months ending August 2026, 61 homes sold in Del Webb Lake Providence. The median sale price was $569,000, and sales ranged from $385,000 to $865,000.
Villas and the smaller plans, under 1,500 sq ft, sold for a median of $424,000. Homes over 2,500 sq ft came in at a median of $749,500.
Here is something that surprises almost everyone: price per square foot runs backward in this community. Villas trade around $316 a square foot while the largest homes are closer to $271. Smaller does not mean cheaper per foot here, so comparing listings that way will lead you astray.
Homes took a median of 37 days to go under contract and sold at about 98% of asking price. There is more negotiating room here than most buyers expect.

-
Del Webb Lake Providence is located in Mt Juliet, just seconds from major shopping, dining and great doctors.
To get to downtown Nashville, it is only about 20-25 minutes away.
-
1,029, a mix of detached single family homes and villas. Villas are attached, built two or three homes to a building.
About 61 sold in the last 12 months, which works out to roughly 5.9% of the community turning over each year.
-
The clubhouse runs over 26,000 square feet and includes a full fitness facility, an indoor walking track, an indoor lap pool and spa, an outdoor pool and spa, a library, meeting rooms, billiards and an art room.
Across the bridge, the Sports Complex has three pickleball courts, two tennis courts, a bocce court, a half basketball court, a playground and community garden plots you can rent.
There is also a 13-acre lake stocked with bluegill and bass, with kayaks and paddle boats available to residents.
-
Yes, three dedicated pickleball courts at the Sports Complex, plus a chartered pickleball club. It is one of the more active groups in the community.
-
Yes, with approval from the Modifications Committee, and within specific limits: rear yard only, 48 inches maximum height, no more than 26 feet behind the rear wall of the home, and at least 10 feet off your rear property line. No fences in front or side yards.
One thing to weigh before you decide. The Association maintains the landscaping on your lot except for anything inside a fence. Fence the yard and you take the mowing back. If a fenced yard for the dog is important to you, that trade may be worth it. Just go in knowing about it.
-
Plenty of residents do. The age range here runs from people who just turned 55 and are still working full time all the way to residents in their 80s.
If you are planning to run a business out of the home, that is a separate question. The community's governing documents restrict business use of a dwelling. Not all business activity is prohibited, and the Modifications Committee issues determinations on specific situations. Ask them before you commit rather than assuming either way.
-
About five a month. Sixty-one homes sold over the 12 months ending August 2026, which is roughly 5.9% of the community.
The median home went under contract in 37 days and sold at about 98% of asking. Homes in the 2,000 to 2,499 square foot range move fastest, going under contract in a median of about 16 days.
Inventory is uneven, though. As of mid-August 2026 there were seven active listings and not one was under 2,000 square feet. If you want a villa or a smaller plan, there may be nothing on the market the week you start looking. That is what the VIP list is for.
-
Yes, and people do it regularly. I walk homes on live video, send unedited photos and video rather than listing photos, represent you at inspection, and Tennessee closings run through a title company, so remote closing is straightforward.
One thing to plan for: every resident has to sign an age verification form in person at the Clubhouse, and it cannot be signed remotely. So even a fully remote purchase means one trip out here afterward to finish onboarding.
