What People Are Saying.
“After spending two wonderful years with the “family” of the Lenox Village Lifestyle Center, I could’t possibly leave without saying how much I have loved living in the high rise condo building and the attention to detail that you and your staff give to all of the residents on a daily basis. You are simply the BEST!!!
After selling my house in McKay’s Mill two years ago, and not knowing where to go- quickly, I am so thankful that I was urges to come see your lovely condos. Although much smaller than I've ever had, the layout is wonderful and I never felt cramped. The closets and the kitchen are especially amazing!
But, most of all - thank you so much to RAM Partners management team for making me feel like part of the family while here. Sarah, Pam and Chris, in particular, have been so very special to me and I will always remember my days in my condo as being very special just because all of you made me feel that way.&rdquo

About Us
Regent Homes and Companies inhabits a special place in the Middle Tennessee homebuilding market. Founded in 2000, Regent Homes is a proponent of Traditional Neighborhood Developments. Its communities are targeted at specific consumer groups from various income levels, including single-family homebuyers, empty-nesters, young couples with children, middle-age to older buyers and also homebuyers with special needs. This is accomplished by offering mixed-use developments with different housing options, such as single-family homes, townhomes, town center homes (condos), condominium leasing and neighborhood retail.
The appeal of the homebuilder’s walkable, mixed-use communities is evident.

The Regent Homes Vision
What sets Regent Homes apart is its commitment to developing traditional neighborhoods. Whether the community features wide sidewalks, tree-lined streets and pocket parks or all of these features plus retail and restaurants, Regent Homes creates neighborhoods that are naturally active and close-knit.
Lenox Village embodies all that Regent Homes seeks to offer. Its homes are as diverse as its residents. The architecture seen throughout the community is a classic Southern style. The homes available in this community include single-family units, townhomes, live/work spaces and the multifamily Town Center, which will offer 300 condominiums. Every Regent home features high-end and energy-efficient components but still remain budget friendly.
Regent Homes also showcases its ability in Lenox Village to successfully mix commercial spaces and neighborhood retail in a residential setting. Residents of Lenox Village are within walking distance to restaurants, retailers and service providers. All of this is set amidst beautiful hillside views. And of course, just like any Regent Homes community, there are the walkable, tree-lined streets with ornamental lighting, wide sidewalks and pocket parks.
The end result is that residents are able to enjoy a carefree, low-maintenance lifestyle. This is the hallmark of not just Lenox Village but any Regent Homes community.
