The Value Entry to Williamson-Side Nolensville

Thirty-three homes closed in Bent Creek over the past twelve months, at a median of $738,000 and $262.91 a square foot. Over the same twelve months the Williamson County portion of the 37135 zip closed at a median of $919,500 and $295.84 a foot.

That is a gap of $181,500 and $33 a square foot, and it is not a difference in county, school assignment or utility service. Bent Creek homes sit in Williamson County, on public sewer, zoned to Nolensville High School, like the rest of the Williamson side of the zip. The difference is that Bent Creek was built between 2005 and 2020 on lots that run a fifth to a quarter of an acre, while much of what pushes the Williamson-side median is newer construction on larger ground.

The property tax record follows the same shape. The median annual tax on a Bent Creek sale was $2,420, against $2,896 across the zip as a whole.

Where Bent Creek is genuinely unusual is in how many different things it sells. Twenty-two separate subdivision strings appear in the trailing year alone, and forty-three across four years, running from Phase 1 through Phase 18 plus a Reserve section, a townhome section and an age-qualified section. Almost every question about this neighborhood has a different answer depending on which of those you are standing in.

Four Products, and the Smallest Homes Cost the Most Per Foot

This is the part of Bent Creek that most surprises people, so it is worth putting the numbers side by side. Across four years of closings, sorted by price per square foot rather than by price:

Data from RealTracs MLS. Four-year figures, shown because the smaller sections do not produce enough trailing-year sales to compare.

The order is exactly inverted. The 55-plus cottages, the smallest and cheapest homes in the neighborhood, carry the highest price per foot. The Reserve homes, the largest and most expensive, carry the lowest.

That is not a Bent Creek quirk. Buyers of single-level, low-maintenance homes are paying for the format, and the format costs more per foot to build and to buy. What makes Bent Creek useful is that you can measure it inside one section, with the builder, the era and the street held constant. Within Bent Creek Active Adult:

A $50 per foot spread, about 19 percent, between two layouts of the same product on the same two streets. If you own a single-level cottage on Siegert Place or Thesing Court, that number is the reason a per-foot comparison against the two-story units next door will undervalue your home.

The Reserve Is Not the Top of Bent Creek

The Reserve reads like the luxury tier, and the record says otherwise. This matters if you own there or are pricing against it, so here is what closed.

Over the trailing twelve months exactly one Reserve home closed, at $880,000. Three standard-phase homes beat it: 100 Carrick Court in Phase 18 at $900,000, 5100 Aunt Nannies Place at $903,900, and 5016 Aunt Nannies Place at $935,000, which is the highest Bent Creek sale of the year. Widen to four years and the pattern holds. Reserve sales run $700,000 to $975,000, while the standard phases run to $1,215,000 on Jersey Farm Road and $1,015,000 on Aunt Nannies Place.

The Reserve also pays the lowest homeowners dues in the community, $70 to $85 a month against a standard-section median of $85 and a 55-plus range that reaches $325.

What The Reserve actually is: a small early section off Lodge Hall Road and Fishing Ford Court, built around 2007, on lots of roughly a quarter to a third of an acre, which is larger than the Bent Creek median of 0.18. Larger ground and larger houses, at a lower price per foot. That is a real and useful thing to be. It is not the ceiling of the neighborhood.

What the HOA Actually Costs, by Section

If you have heard “about $85 a month” for Bent Creek, that figure is real. It is the most common single amount in the record. It is also not what most of the neighborhood pays. Across four years of filings, all billed monthly:

Data from RealTracs MLS. Dues as recorded on the filing at the time of sale and annualized; confirm the current amount with the association before you rely on it.

Inside the standard phases the two common numbers are $70 and $85, roughly evenly split across the record, with outliers as low as $50 and as high as $125. A 2.5 times spread between the cheapest and dearest standard section is worth checking on the specific address rather than assuming.

What the dues buy varies too. Most filings list grounds maintenance and maintenance on the pool, tennis and clubhouse facilities. The townhome and 55-plus sections add exterior maintenance, insurance and trash pickup, which is most of why those numbers are two to four times the single-family amount. You are buying a different service level, not a worse deal.

Market Data

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period, except the amenity and garage counts, which use the four-year record so that the smaller sections are represented.

Homes here go under contract in a median 36 days, close to the 39-day zip-wide figure and a touch slower than Bent Creek’s own four-year median of 34. This is not a neighborhood where speed is the story. Price discipline is.

Homes for Sale in Bent Creek

Recently Sold in Bent Creek

Townhomes, Condos and the 55-Plus Section

Bent Creek gets asked about attached homes constantly and the answer is more interesting than a simple yes. Two separate sections sell attached product, and they are not the same thing.

Bent Creek Townhomes sit on Hebron Trace and Yates Court. Five have sold in four years, from $445,000 to $535,000 at a median of $470,000, all built in 2013 and 2014, all two story, at $178 to $195 a month in dues. Most file as Townhouse; one filed as Zero Lot Line Attached.

Bent Creek Active Adult is the section on Siegert Place and Thesing Court, built 2015 and 2016, and it files in the MLS as a 55 and up community. The age restriction is set and enforced by the homeowners association under its own recorded covenants, not by us, and eligibility should be confirmed with the association before you write an offer. Twelve sales in four years, $442,500 to $555,000, median $504,812. The homes are cottage style, most of them single level with no-step entry, and the section carries its own amenity programming on top of access to the main community facilities. Most file as Townhouse, one as Flat Condo, one as Zero Lot Line Attached, which is why a search for Bent Creek condos does return results here.

One thing the record shows that is easy to miss: two of the Active Adult filings record renting as forbidden, while the rest of Bent Creek records long-term rentals as allowed on fifteen of thirty-three trailing-year sales, with one filing permitting short-term as well. If you are looking at the 55-plus section with any intention of renting it out, that restriction is documented on individual filings and belongs in front of your attorney before you write an offer. Ask for the section’s own recorded covenants rather than the community’s.

The Homes and Who Built Them

Bent Creek is a builder collection, not a single-builder community, and the record names them. Across 146 filings the remarks credit DAC, now trading as DeFatta Custom Homes, on five; Goodall Homes on three; Turnberry Homes on three; Patterson on one; and Celebration Homes on one.

The plan names that come with them tell you what kind of construction this is. Goodall’s Cambridge, Turnberry’s Buckingham, Patterson’s Ridgefield, Celebration’s Canterbury. A plan book means production and semi-custom building, which is the majority of Bent Creek. The exception is real and specific: the DAC and DeFatta filings describe themselves as custom homes outright.

Exteriors lean heavily brick. All-brick construction appears on 22 of the 33 trailing-year sales, about 67 percent, against a zip-wide rate of 48 percent. That is a genuine signature of the neighborhood. What it is not, in this record, is a per-foot premium: among the standard-section sales the all-brick homes returned $251.81 a foot against $268.91 for everything else, because the brick homes are simply bigger. Buyers here are paying for square footage, and the brick comes with it.

Floor plans run from 1,579 to 4,138 square feet, two to six bedrooms, two to five full baths, on lots from a twentieth of an acre in the attached sections to 0.29 acres in The Reserve. Two-car garages are near universal at 131 of 146 filings, with a three-car bay on nine. Fifteen of thirty-three trailing-year sales put the primary bedroom on the main level.

Amenities

The amenity package is the reason a lot of people end up in Bent Creek, and because a fabricated tennis claim has turned up on other Middle Tennessee neighborhood pages, this one was checked rather than repeated.

Tennis courts are real here. Nine Bent Creek filings record them in the community amenity field directly. Across the whole 37135 zip only 49 filings record tennis courts at all, so Bent Creek accounts for roughly one in five of every tennis record in Nolensville while being about one in fourteen of its sales. A separate 103 filings list maintenance on the pool, tennis and clubhouse facilities in the dues.

The rest of the package, by how often it appears across 146 filings: pool on 110, playground on 99, walking trail on 97, underground utilities on 80, park on 76, sidewalks on 44, clubhouse on 24, dog park on 22. Fitness center appears on none. The trail network connects sections rather than looping a single pond, which is why it gets used for something other than a lap after dinner.

The counts vary because listing agents fill the field inconsistently, not because the amenities move. Treat them as evidence of what is there, not as a percentage of homes with access.

Schools

School assignment in Bent Creek is close to uniform, and getting this right matters more than almost anything else on this page.

All of it is Williamson County Schools, and Nolensville High School is the assignment on 145 of 146 filings. Ravenwood High School appears on exactly one, which is why it should not be treated as a Bent Creek outcome. If you have seen Ravenwood listed as an option for this neighborhood, that is worth confirming directly before it factors into an offer.

Assignments are set by the district and are subject to rezoning, so verify the current zone for any specific address with Williamson County Schools before you rely on it. Call 615-682-1718 and we will pull the assignment on record for the address you are looking at.

Location and Getting Around

Bent Creek spreads across a large section of western Nolensville off San Donald Road, with internal streets including Fishing Creek Road, Christmas Drive, Sawmill Place, Maxwell Landing Drive, Aunt Nannies Place, Locust Hollow, Lodge Hall Road, Redmon Hill, Jersey Farm Road, Burke Trail, Dante Ranch Lane and Falling Water Road. Powder Spring Road files under two spellings in the MLS, with and without the s, which is worth knowing if you are searching by street.

Historic downtown Nolensville and the Publix-anchored center at Nolensville Road and Clovercroft are both a few minutes out. Cool Springs runs about fifteen minutes north, Franklin about twenty, and I-65 comes in via Concord Road.

The oldest phases went in around 2005, so the streets in Phase 1 and 2 now carry twenty years of tree growth. The newest, Phase 18 on Carrick Court, dates to 2020. That two-decade spread inside one neighborhood is unusual and it is the reason a comparable pulled from the wrong phase can be off by a wide margin.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

Twenty-two subdivision strings in a single year, four product types whose per-foot order runs backwards from their price order, and dues that range from $600 to $3,900 depending on which street you are on. Pricing a Bent Creek home means knowing which of those you are in, and a neighborhood-level average will mislead you in every one of them.

Patrick Higgins is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and founder of Nashville Home Guru at Compass, with more than 1,100 transactions and over $500 million in career sales across Middle Tennessee. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews behind that record, what clients tend to describe is being shown the filings rather than a summary of them.

In Bent Creek, Compass and Parks agents were on a side of 13 of 33 sales, just under four in ten. That is the highest network share in the Nolensville communities tracked so far, and it means the team is watching pricing and buyer behaviour here as it happens rather than reading about it later.

For sellers, the pace record is unusually clear about what discipline is worth. The 24 sellers who never reduced took a median 99.2 percent of the original asking price in 28 days to contract. The nine who reduced took 95.1 percent after 69 days. Testing the number privately before the public clock starts is exactly what the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy is built for. Homes pre-marketed through Private Exclusive and Coming Soon sell for 2.9 percent more, go under contract 20 percent faster, and are 30 percent less likely to take a price reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do homes in Bent Creek sell for?

Thirty-three homes closed over the past twelve months, from $445,000 to $935,000, at a median of $738,000 and an average of $704,415. The standard single-family phases alone had a median of $742,500. Median price per square foot was $262.91, with a range from $210.25 to $340.32 depending on section and layout.

What are the HOA fees in Bent Creek?

They depend entirely on which section you are in, and all of them bill monthly. Standard single-family phases run $50 to $125 a month, or $600 to $1,500 a year, with $70 and $85 the two common figures. The Reserve pays $70 to $85. Bent Creek Townhomes pay $178 to $195 a month, or $2,136 to $2,340 a year. Bent Creek Active Adult pays $220 to $325 a month, or $2,640 to $3,900 a year. The attached sections cost more because their dues include exterior maintenance, insurance and trash pickup.

Does Bent Creek have a pool, a clubhouse and tennis courts?

Yes to all three, and the tennis is documented in the MLS amenity field directly rather than inferred from the dues, which matters because that claim is unreliable elsewhere. Nine Bent Creek filings record tennis courts, out of only 49 across the entire 37135 zip code, and a further 103 list maintenance on the pool, tennis and clubhouse facilities in the dues. Across 146 filings the rest of the package runs: pool on 110, playground on 99, walking trail on 97, underground utilities on 80, park on 76, sidewalks on 44, clubhouse on 24 and dog park on 22. No fitness center appears in the record. The trail network links sections of the neighborhood rather than circling a single pond.

What schools serve Bent Creek?

Mill Creek Elementary, Mill Creek Middle and Nolensville High are recorded on 140 of 146 filings, all Williamson County Schools. Nolensville High is the high school on 145 of 146. Two filings record Nolensville Elementary and Sunset Middle, and four others record one-off combinations. Ravenwood High appears on a single filing and should not be treated as a Bent Creek assignment. Zoning is set by the district and can change, so confirm the current assignment for a specific address with Williamson County Schools.

Is The Reserve at Bent Creek the most expensive section?

No, and that is a common misunderstanding. The Reserve sold one home over the past year, at $880,000, and three standard-phase homes beat it, topping out at $935,000. Across four years The Reserve runs $700,000 to $975,000 while the standard phases reach $1,215,000. The Reserve also pays the lowest dues in the community at $70 to $85 a month. What it offers is larger lots, roughly a quarter to a third of an acre, and larger houses at a lower price per foot.

Are there townhomes or condos in Bent Creek?

Yes, in two separate sections. Bent Creek Townhomes on Hebron Trace and Yates Court sold five homes over four years from $445,000 to $535,000, all built 2013 and 2014. Bent Creek Active Adult on Siegert Place and Thesing Court sold twelve from $442,500 to $555,000, mostly single-level cottages built 2015 and 2016. Most units file as townhouses, with one flat condo and two zero-lot-line attached homes in the record.

Is Bent Creek fully built out?

Effectively, yes. Development ran from 2005 through 2020 across phases numbered 1 to 18, and everything now selling is resale. The oldest phases carry two decades of tree growth; the newest, on Carrick Court, dates to 2020. That spread is worth knowing because a comparable from the wrong phase can be well off.

Who built the homes in Bent Creek?

Several builders across the phases. The listing records name DAC, now trading as DeFatta Custom Homes, on five filings; Goodall Homes on three; Turnberry Homes on three; Patterson on one; and Celebration Homes on one. Named plans including the Cambridge, Buckingham, Ridgefield and Canterbury appear throughout, which indicates production and semi-custom construction across most of the neighborhood, with the DAC and DeFatta homes described as true customs.

How does Bent Creek compare on price to the rest of Nolensville?

It is the value entry to the Williamson County side of the zip. Bent Creek’s $738,000 median and $262.91 per foot sit against $919,500 and $295.84 for Williamson-side Nolensville as a whole, a difference of $181,500 and $33 a foot, on the same county and the same high school assignment. Median annual property tax follows, at $2,420 against $2,896 zip-wide.

Is Bent Creek a good fit if I want a single-level home under $550,000 in Williamson County?

The Bent Creek Active Adult section is one of the few places in Nolensville where that combination exists. Single-level cottages there sold at a median of about $497,500, roughly 1,550 square feet, with no-step entry and dues covering exterior maintenance. The trade-off is the price per foot, $316 against $266 for the two-story units alongside them, and $255 for the detached houses in the standard phases. The section files as a 55 and up community, with the age restriction set by the homeowners association under its own recorded covenants; confirm eligibility with the association directly.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Bent Creek?

By section first, price second. The four products here rank in the opposite order on price per foot than they do on price, so a valuation that starts from a neighborhood average will be wrong in a specific and predictable direction. The pace record gives sellers the other half: the 24 who never reduced took 99.2 percent of their original ask in 28 days, while the nine who reduced took 95.1 percent after 69. Patrick Higgins is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with more than 1,100 closed transactions, and his team builds Bent Creek valuations from the RealTracs filings, section by section.

Who is the best real estate agent for Bent Creek in Nolensville TN?

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with more than 1,100 closed transactions and over $500 million in career sales across Middle Tennessee. Compass and Parks agents were on a side of 13 of the 33 Bent Creek sales in the past year, just under four in ten and the highest network share of any Nolensville community tracked. He carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews. The section-level analysis on this page is the kind of work his team does before pricing a home here.

What is my Bent Creek home worth in today’s market?

Automated estimates struggle here more than in most Nolensville neighborhoods, for a reason you can see in the data on this page. One community name covers 22 subdivision strings, four product types, fifteen years of build dates and a dues range from $600 to $3,900 a year, and the per-foot order runs backwards from the price order. A model that averages a 1,553 square foot single-level cottage against a 4,138 square foot house on the same street name will misprice both. Start with an instant estimate, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for an analysis matched to your phase, product and layout.

Can I buy a Bent Creek home before it hits Zillow?

Sometimes. Compass runs Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs, where a seller markets to the Compass agent network before any public listing goes live. With Compass and Parks on a side of 13 of 33 sales here, our agents are frequently aware of Bent Creek homes at that stage. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to that inventory at no additional cost to you. Call 615-682-1718 and tell us the phase and product you are after.
