Legacy South exceeded our expectations by far! We bought a new build and couldnt have imagined a smoother experience. They were always so responsive and thorough. Not only that, but during our one year warranty, they fixed absolutely everything we requested. I love seeing the beautiful homes they continue to build and would love to work with them again in the future! Cant recommend them more!!!

We are thankful to have found this Legacy South property (especially amidst the post-pandemic housing market craze) and that we were able to close on our first home without a hitch. Big thank you to Legacy (& our realtor Jeremy Jones, of course ) for making it a great and comfortable experience for us. Thanks again, Legacy South & Team!
**I will try to leave another review after our 1-year warranty too.

My first home purchase was a Legacy South home and I must say I am happy with my purchase. They are very responsive when there is an issue (which there havent been many) and they are very courteous and nice. I would recommend using Legacy South for your building needs.

Could not be more impressed with LS and their entire team, especially Max! They really take pride in the product they are delivering and have high standards. Our house turned out exactly how we imagined even better! I would highly recommend them to anyone. While there are some less than stellar reviews on here I would take those with a grain of salt as that is not what we experienced with them. Thank you to the entire legacy south team for our fantastic house!

I purchased a brand new construction from Legacy South in East Nashville. It was clear from the time that I was under contract that my unit was being rushed to being in "livable" condition before my closing date. Essentially, I was forced to move into the unit even though the construction was not complete on the unit, the development as a whole was incomplete, and the property was not ready to be lived in. Even though I closed 2 months prior to this review, the property was still not properly set up to get wifi, so I spent over 60 days in the home without any internet connection. I work from home
