Farragut TN New Developments: What Buyers Should Know

What new developments and housing opportunities are happening in Farragut, TN in 2026?

Farragut is in the middle of a meaningful growth phase. As of August 2026, the town has an active mix of new residential construction, a maturing mixed-use town center at Biddle Farms, a new apartment community under construction near Turkey Creek, small-lot subdivision proposals near the future Farragut Elementary School, and more than $22 million in planned capital improvements covering parks, greenways, sidewalks, and traffic. If you’re thinking about buying in Farragut, understanding what’s being built, and where, gives you a real edge.

New Residential Options Taking Shape in Farragut

Biddle Farms Town Center: Farragut’s New Walkable Core

Farragut has long been a suburb that required a car for nearly everything. Biddle Farms is changing that. Located on Kingston Pike across from Farragut High School, Biddle Farms Town Center integrates attached residential units with retail, restaurants, and everyday services in a format Farragut simply didn’t have before.

The first wave of residential units was completed by 2025, with retail tenants continuing to open through 2026. For buyers who want to stay in Farragut but trade a large yard for walkable access to coffee, dining, and shopping, this is a genuinely new option. It’s also worth watching as the area matures, early buyers in mixed-use nodes often benefit as surrounding retail fills in and the neighborhood finds its identity.

I’ve worked with clients who dismissed attached or smaller-footprint homes without ever walking the site. Biddle Farms is worth seeing in person before you decide it’s not for you.

Laster Farms at Turkey Creek: New Apartments Coming in 2027

According to local reporting, Laster Farms at Turkey Creek is a new multifamily community with construction financing targeted for late 2025 and a construction start in early 2026. First move-ins are projected for summer 2027.

This matters to buyers for a few reasons. If you’re relocating to Knoxville and want to spend time in Farragut before committing to a purchase, a new apartment near the Turkey Creek corridor gives you that option. It also signals continued developer confidence in the area, institutional capital doesn’t chase markets that aren’t performing.

Saddlebrook Properties: A New Subdivision Proposal Near Farragut Elementary

In February 2025, farragutpress reported that Saddlebrook Properties proposed a 32-lot residential subdivision on 12.76 acres along Boring Road, adjacent to the planned new Farragut Elementary School. As of that reporting, this was a proposal rather than an approved or completed development.

What it tells you is that developers are actively looking at infill and school-adjacent parcels within Farragut. Small-lot, newer-construction homes near a new school node are worth tracking if that’s the type of property you’re targeting. I keep tabs on proposals like this so my clients hear about them early, before they show up on the major portals.

The Town’s $22 Million Investment in Infrastructure and Livability

New homes don’t exist in a vacuum. What makes Farragut compelling in 2026 isn’t just what’s being built, it’s what the town itself is investing in around those homes.

In April 2024, farragutpress covered Farragut officials discussing a $22.1 million capital projects program over six years, with specific investments in walkability, recreation, and traffic. The Town of Farragut’s official projects page, updated as of July 2026, lists these as active or pipeline work:

These aren’t abstract line items. The Watt Road roundabout directly affects residents who use that route to reach the interstate. The greenway connector will eventually let you walk or bike between neighborhoods that currently require a car. The sidewalk projects on Sonja Drive and Admiral Road make established streets more usable on foot.

Real estate is local, and what’s happening at the town level matters as much as what’s happening at the subdivision level. I factor infrastructure like this into how I advise buyers on location decisions within Farragut.

Commercial Growth Supporting Housing Demand

In August 2025, the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission approved a site plan for a 7Brew Coffee in Turkey Creek, plus four new buildings at Kingston Pike and South Watt Road. These additions expand Farragut’s everyday convenience options along corridors that already anchor residential demand. More retail and dining within reach of your home is a quality-of-life factor that buyers consistently rank highly, and it tends to support home values over time.

What This Means If You’re Buying in Farragut

Growth like this creates opportunity, but it also creates complexity. Buying near a planned development means understanding timelines, a proposed subdivision is not the same as a finished neighborhood, and a mixed-use community in its second year looks different than one in its fifth. I walk my clients through exactly where each project stands before they make a location decision.

A few things worth knowing as you evaluate Farragut homes in 2026:

• Seller disclosures matter. Under the Tennessee Residential Property Disclosure Act (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-5-201 et seq.), most sellers in Farragut are required to provide a completed disclosure form covering known material defects, roof age, HVAC, structural issues, water intrusion, environmental hazards, and more. This form should be in your hands before you sign a purchase contract.
• The realty transfer tax is a fixed rate, but who pays it is negotiable. Tennessee sets the rate at $0.37 per $100 of purchase price under Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-4-409, administered by the Tennessee Department of Revenue. The law fixes the rate but does not mandate whether the buyer or seller pays, that’s determined in your purchase contract and is negotiable between the parties.
• Broker compensation is fully negotiable. There is no standard, typical, or fixed commission rate. Fees are set in the listing agreement, and any compensation offered to a buyer’s agent is a separate, optional negotiation. If you have questions about how this works, that’s a conversation to have directly with me.
• New construction and resale play by different rules. Builder contracts, timelines, and warranty terms differ significantly from a traditional resale transaction. Having representation on your side, not just the builder’s sales agent, matters more than most buyers realize until they’re in the middle of it.

For current context on the broader Knoxville and Farragut market, my July 2026 East Tennessee Real Estate Market Update covers the latest available data on inventory, pricing, and market pace.

Your specific situation, what you’re buying, where, and at what price, determines which of these factors matter most. That’s where a local market analysis and a direct conversation come in. I’d rather talk through your options six months before you’re ready than two weeks before you need to move.

Mixed-use developments and expanding retail corridors generally support housing demand by adding walkable amenities and everyday conveniences that buyers value. Biddle Farms gives Farragut a true town center it previously lacked, and the continued buildout of Turkey Creek with new coffee, dining, and commercial space strengthens the area’s appeal.

As of the most recent reporting, this was a proposal rather than an approved or completed project. I track proposals like this closely and can give you an updated status if you’re interested in that area.

How do Farragut’s new parks, greenways, and traffic projects affect daily life for homeowners?

The Town of Farragut’s active capital improvement program includes expanded amenities at McFee Park and Mayor Bob Leonard Park (pickleball courts, improved trails, a new dog park), a planned Everett Road Greenway Connector, a Red Mill Dam trailhead, new sidewalks on Sonja Drive and Admiral Road, a Watt Road roundabout, and adaptive traffic signal upgrades. Taken together, these investments improve walkability, outdoor recreation access, and commute flow, factors that consistently matter to buyers and contribute to long-term neighborhood appeal.

Who pays the Tennessee Realty Transfer Tax in a Farragut home sale, buyer or seller?

Tennessee law sets the realty transfer tax rate at $0.37 per $100 of purchase price (Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-4-409), but the law does not dictate which party pays it. According to the Tennessee Department of Revenue’s Realty Transfer Tax Manual, who pays is determined by the purchase and sale contract, it is negotiable between buyer and seller. Your agent and title company can help you understand how it’s typically handled in your specific transaction.

What has to be included in the Tennessee Seller Property Disclosure when selling a home in Farragut?

Under the Tennessee Residential Property Disclosure Act (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-5-201 et seq.), most residential sellers must complete a state-approved disclosure form covering known material defects including the age and condition of major systems (roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical), structural issues, water intrusion or drainage problems, environmental hazards such as radon or lead paint in older homes, and known boundary disputes or easements. The disclosure is generally required to be delivered before the buyer signs the purchase contract. Your broker and title company will guide you through completing it accurately.

Is Farragut becoming more walkable with these new projects?

It’s moving in that direction, meaningfully so. Biddle Farms Town Center is the clearest example, residents there have walkable access to retail, dining, and services in a way that wasn’t possible in Farragut before. The town’s investments in sidewalks, pedestrian underpasses, and greenway connectors are also extending walkability into established neighborhoods. That said, Farragut remains a largely car-dependent suburb for most residents, and the degree of walkability varies considerably by specific location within town.
