Arrowhead

ACRE-PLUS LOTS OFF DRAKES CREEK ROAD | HENDERSONVILLE TN 37075

Location and Daily Life

Arrowhead is a single-family neighborhood off Drakes Creek Road in Hendersonville, Tennessee, in the 37075 zip code, with homes on Arrowhead Drive, Cross Bow Drive, and Apache Court.

This is one of Hendersonville’s genuine acreage pockets. Recorded lots here run from just under an acre to nearly an acre and a half, which puts Arrowhead in a small category within city limits: large parcels with mature tree cover, no association, and homes set well back from the road, but still minutes from Drakes Creek Park, the Indian Lake Boulevard retail corridor, and TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center.

The surrounding area is strong. Heritage Woods, Island Brook, Autumn Creek, and Durham Farms are all nearby, and the Drakes Creek Road corridor is one of the more established and desirable stretches on this side of the city. Vietnam Veterans Boulevard handles the Nashville commute.

The Homes

Arrowhead was built out in the late 1980s and platted in at least five sections, and the homes reflect that era’s custom scale rather than production floor plans. Recorded properties run from roughly 2,080 to 4,040 square feet with three and four bedrooms, on lots between 0.91 and 1.47 acres, built between 1987 and 1989.

No homeowners association is recorded on any Arrowhead property. On acre-plus lots that combination, land plus autonomy, is the neighborhood’s defining trait, and it is increasingly rare inside Hendersonville city limits where newer development has trended toward smaller lots and active associations.

Arrowhead Market Data

One home closed in Arrowhead over the rolling 12-month period. A single sale is not a market, so no median or average appears on this page. Here is that sale, followed by the closed comparable sets that give it context.

That $940,000 sale places Arrowhead near the top of its immediate neighborhood set, above Island Brook and Autumn Creek and approaching Heritage Woods, and well above both the $675,000 median for Hendersonville homes on comparable acreage and the $642,329 median across the entire Burrus at Drakes Creek school zone.

The per-square-foot figure explains why. At $250.33 per foot the sale ran above the $229.04 citywide median and above the $248.26 median for its lot-size band, which is unusual for a home built in 1989. The 96 Hendersonville homes built between 1985 and 1992 closed at a $412,500 median and $209.17 per foot, so this sale materially outperformed its own construction era. Buyers here are paying for the land and the setting, not just the house, and a well-maintained Arrowhead property commands a premium over comparable-age homes elsewhere in the city.

Amenities

Arrowhead has no recorded homeowners association, no dues, and no shared facilities. The property is the amenity: acre-plus lots with mature tree cover, no architectural review, and no monthly carrying cost beyond taxes and utilities.

Drakes Creek Park is close by, and the Indian Lake Boulevard retail corridor, TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center, and Old Hickory Lake access are all a short drive. Vietnam Veterans Boulevard provides the direct route toward Nashville, so the acreage does not come at the cost of a long commute.

Schools

Every Arrowhead record shows Dr. William Burrus Elementary at Drakes Creek, Knox Doss Middle School at Drakes Creek, and Beech Senior High School, all part of Sumner County Schools.

This neighborhood has previously been published as zoned to Beech Elementary and T. W. Hunter Middle School, which the MLS data does not support for either level. Because the Drakes Creek attendance boundary runs through this part of Hendersonville and school zoning is often decisive at this price point, verify the assignment for the specific address with the district before you make an offer. Merrol Hyde Magnet School is also available countywide by application.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

A neighborhood that has been publicly listed under the wrong elementary and middle school, in a price bracket where school zoning frequently decides the purchase, is a neighborhood where the details carry real money. Nashville Home Guru is a data-driven team that tracks every listing and sale in Hendersonville, and Patrick Higgins, a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads it. The team is ranked the number one team in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, with more than 1,100 transactions and over $500 million in residential sales across Middle Tennessee.

Citywide, Compass and Parks agents were involved in 191 of the 1,127 Hendersonville closings this past year, a 16.9% market share. In the $850,000 to $1,050,000 band Arrowhead belongs to, 75 homes closed at a $900,000 median, and that upper-bracket volume is what pricing an acreage property here actually requires.

Compass is the number one residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume, and after merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents represent roughly one in four homes sold in Tennessee. That footprint gives buyers access to coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and the largest agent referral network in real estate, which matters in a neighborhood that produces roughly one sale a year.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy delivers measurable results. Homes pre-marketed through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction. On a home at Arrowhead’s price level, 2.9% is roughly $27,000. Learn more about selling your home on your terms at nashvillehome.guru.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arrowhead

What do homes in Arrowhead cost?
One home closed in Arrowhead over the past 12 months, a 3,755 square foot 1989 home on 1.47 acres that sold for $940,000. That places the neighborhood near the top of its immediate area, above Island Brook at an $802,450 median and Autumn Creek at $728,000, and well above the $675,000 median for Hendersonville homes on comparable acreage. The citywide median was $530,000.

What schools serve Arrowhead?
Every Arrowhead record shows Dr. William Burrus Elementary at Drakes Creek, Knox Doss Middle School at Drakes Creek, and Beech Senior High School in Sumner County Schools. This neighborhood has previously been published as Beech Elementary and T. W. Hunter Middle, which the MLS data does not support for either level. Because the Drakes Creek boundary runs through this area, verify the assignment for the exact address with the district before you offer.

How big are the lots in Arrowhead?
Recorded lots run 0.91 to 1.47 acres. That is genuine acreage inside Hendersonville city limits, a small category in a market where newer development has trended toward quarter-acre and smaller lots. Only 67 homes citywide closed on lots between 0.9 and 1.6 acres this past year.

Is there an HOA in Arrowhead?
No association fee is recorded on any Arrowhead property. Owners have no dues, no architectural review, and no shared facilities. Paired with acre-plus lots, that autonomy is a substantial part of what buyers are paying for here. Verify on the specific property during due diligence.

What streets are in Arrowhead?
Current MLS records place Arrowhead homes on Arrowhead Drive, Cross Bow Drive, and Apache Court. Stop Thirty Road, Flint Drive, and Spear Pointe Drive have sometimes been published as part of this neighborhood, but no MLS record exists for any of those three, and the Cross Bow street is recorded as a Drive rather than a Court. Confirm before relying on them in a search.

Why does Arrowhead sell above other 1980s Hendersonville homes?
Because of the land. The 96 Hendersonville homes built between 1985 and 1992 closed at a $412,500 median and $209.17 per square foot, while the Arrowhead sale ran $250.33 per foot. Buyers here are paying for acre-plus parcels, mature tree cover, and the absence of an association, not for recent construction. That is the consistent premium acreage commands inside city limits.

Is Arrowhead a good fit for buyers who want acreage without leaving Hendersonville?
That is precisely its niche. Buyers get roughly one to one and a half acres, a home of 2,000 to 4,000 square feet, and no HOA, while staying minutes from Drakes Creek Park, Indian Lake shopping, and TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center, with a straightforward Nashville commute. It suits families wanting room and privacy, buyers with boats or equipment to store, and anyone who wants land without a rural drive. It does not suit buyers seeking new construction or low-maintenance living.

I own a home in Arrowhead. How should I approach selling?
Lead with the land, because that is what the data says buyers are paying for. Your comparable set is the $940,000 neighborhood sale, the nearby Heritage Woods, Island Brook, and Autumn Creek figures, and the $900,000 median in the $850,000 to $1,050,000 band, adjusted for your home’s size and condition. State the correct school zoning explicitly given the misinformation in circulation, since at this price point families verify it. With roughly one sale a year here, pre-marketing to buyers already hunting acreage matters more than a standard listing. Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team can position that.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Arrowhead?
He prices from land first, since the data shows Arrowhead outperforming its construction era by a wide margin on the strength of acreage rather than finishes. On the buy side that means understanding what a comparable acre-plus parcel commands citywide, only 67 sold all year, before evaluating whether a specific asking price is defensible. On the sell side it means building the comparable set from the acreage band and the immediate neighborhood rather than from 1980s homes generally, which would undervalue the property badly. He also confirms school zoning directly, since the published information and the records disagree here. As a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, Patrick treats those distinctions as the job.

Who is the best real estate agent for Arrowhead in Hendersonville, TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely regarded as a leading agent for Hendersonville and the Drakes Creek Road corridor. He is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, and his team is ranked the number one team in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, with more than 1,100 transactions and over $500 million in sales. Compass and Parks agents were involved in 191 of the 1,127 Hendersonville closings this past year, a 16.9% market share, and the team carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews.

Can I buy an Arrowhead home before it hits Zillow?
With roughly one sale a year, waiting for public Arrowhead inventory can mean waiting a long time, and acre-plus parcels inside city limits draw competitive interest when they appear. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to Private Exclusive and Coming Soon listings at no additional cost to you as the buyer, plus someone monitoring this specific pocket of the Drakes Creek corridor on your behalf.

What is my Arrowhead home worth in today’s market?
Automated tools handle acreage badly, and Arrowhead is a clear example. A Zestimate weights square footage and construction year heavily, both of which understate a 1989 home here, while undervaluing the acre-plus lot that is the actual source of the premium. With only one neighborhood sale on record and school data that has been published incorrectly, the automated number has little to work from. Use the home value tool for an instant starting estimate, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for an analysis built from the acreage comparables that actually fit your property.
