Fresh construction in Weathersbee with smart layout and school-friendly location
Sales comparison approach using recent sales of similar new construction homes in the Weathersbee community. Adjusted for size, features, and lot size.
Step into a brand-new Guilford floor plan at 546 Aviation Drive — a thoughtfully arranged 1,806 sq ft residence in Ridgeland’s growing Weathersbee community. This home was designed for practical daily living: an open great room anchors the main floor while an adjacent flex space adapts as a formal dining area, homework station, or a dedicated home office. The kitchen includes a walk-in pantry and generous footprint that supports contemporary meal prep and modern appliances.
Upstairs the layout prioritizes convenience. The primary suite provides dual sinks, a large walk-in shower and an ample walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms share a full bath, and the conveniently placed upstairs laundry makes weekend chores quicker and simpler. Throughout the house you’ll find the clean, efficient lines typical of new construction — durable finishes and systems installed by a reputable builder (Mungo Homes Coastal Division).
Outside, the property sits on a level 0.12-acre lot with a two-car attached garage and a driveway for extra parking. The yard is sized for low-maintenance landscaping and a modest outdoor living area — perfect for grilling or a small play set. Weathersbee is a new community with planned amenities; buyers will want to review HOA timelines and amenity completion as part of their due diligence.
Location is a standout: Ridgeland Elementary and Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence sit roughly half a mile away, and downtown Ridgeland’s shops and restaurants are about 1.5 miles from the front door. The Ridgeland Airport is nearby (approximately one mile), which is a convenience for some buyers and a factor others should evaluate for potential noise impact. Priced at $338,171 (about $187/sq ft) and offered move-in ready, this home aligns with recent local new-construction sales and presents a strong option for first-time buyers, families seeking nearby schools, or investors targeting modern rental stock in a stable market.

The local Ridgeland market is balanced with a tilt toward sellers for new-construction homes. Jasper County’s immediate market shows roughly three months of inventory and an average days on market near 45 — indicators of steady demand without the supply shortages seen in hotter metros. Median sale price in the area sits around $340,000, and one-year appreciation is modest at approximately 5% (five-year appreciation about 15%). Recent comparable closings in the Weathersbee community ranged from roughly $346K to $440K, reflecting variation by size and plan; this property’s list price of $338,171 (~$187/sf) positions it competitively among similar Guilford and larger-plan homes that sold this past winter. Rental comps also show healthy demand: smaller three-bedroom rentals in the neighborhood have commanded around $1,800/month, supporting rental yield arguments for investors. With inventory tight for newly built homes but overall market fundamentals stable, buyers who prioritize updated systems, warranty coverage, and proximity to schools will find this an attractive time to act. Sellers benefit from continued interest in move-in-ready new builds, while buyers should move deliberately — verifying HOA timelines and conducting noise assessments given the nearby airport.
