Carondelet

BRENTWOOD’S ACRE-LOT LEGACY COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life in Carondelet

Carondelet is one of Brentwood’s original acreage communities, located in Williamson County 37027 along the Franklin Road corridor. The setting is what has kept Carondelet desirable across five decades: roughly 15 to 20 minutes to downtown Nashville, 10 minutes to Cool Springs, and 5 minutes to both Brentwood High and Brentwood Academy. I-65 is a short hop, Maryland Farms is a few minutes away, and the Concord Road shopping and dining corridor is within easy reach.

Daily life in Carondelet feels like a legacy Brentwood neighborhood in the best sense. The streets are mature, the tree canopy is full, and neighbors tend to stay for decades. Crockett Park, Granny White Park, and the Wilson Pike greenway are all within a short drive. Weekends orbit Brentwood Academy athletics, Sunday services at Brentwood United Methodist or Brentwood Baptist, and casual dinners at the restaurants along Franklin Road, Maryland Farms, and the Cool Springs corridor.

The Homes of Carondelet

Carondelet was developed in multiple sections beginning in 1969, and the year-built range on current inventory tells the story: closed sales in the past 12 months include homes built anywhere from 1969 through 2025. Original construction is a mix of brick traditional, ranch, and split-level homes, while a meaningful percentage of original lots have been or are being taken down to the studs, scraped entirely, or replaced with new custom builds. The result is a community where an updated 1970s ranch at 1,441 square feet can trade alongside a 2025 custom estate at 7,376 square feet on the same street.

Lot sizes are the anchor that makes the ongoing rebuild cycle possible. Parcels in the recent sales sample ran from 0.89 to 1.19 acres, with most homesites at or near one acre. That lot profile puts Carondelet in the same Williamson County acreage conversation as neighboring communities like Borgata, Brentmeade, Valley View, and Wilson Run, and it is a primary reason custom builders continue to source land here rather than further south in Williamson County. Expect to see four- to six-bedroom floor plans, multiple full baths, primary-on-main configurations in the newer builds, and traditional primary-up layouts in the original homes.

Amenities

Carondelet is not an amenitized HOA community in the modern pool-and-clubhouse sense. The voluntary annual HOA is minimal, and the real amenity is the land: roughly one-acre lots, mature trees, and a location that puts Brentwood Academy, Lipscomb Elementary, Crockett Park, and the Franklin Road corridor within a few minutes of every home. Pool, tennis, and sport-court amenities are typically added at the individual property level given the lot sizes.

Schools

Carondelet is zoned to Williamson County Schools, one of the top public school districts in Tennessee:

Elementary: Lipscomb Elementary
Middle: Brentwood Middle School
High: Brentwood High School

Top private school options within a short drive include Brentwood Academy, Lipscomb Academy, Christ Presbyterian Academy, Ensworth, Harpeth Hall, and Montgomery Bell Academy. The Lipscomb Elementary zoning is a notable distinction — it separates Carondelet from the Scales Elementary communities further west in 37027 and puts it in the same elementary cluster as other Concord and Franklin Road luxury pockets.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

In Carondelet, Compass and Parks agents represented 31% of all home sales over the past 12 months, with 5 of 16 closed transactions involving a Compass agent on either the listing or buying side. Across the broader Williamson-side Brentwood 37027 acreage market that Carondelet buyers typically cross-shop, that share climbs significantly. Accurate representation matters especially in Carondelet because the condition spread from original 1969 construction to 2025 custom new build means a single bad comp can misprice a listing by six figures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carondelet

What is the price range for homes in Carondelet Brentwood?
Closed sales over the past 12 months ranged from $700,000 to $4,210,000, with a median of $1,215,000 and an average of $1,809,062. The wide spread reflects Carondelet’s unique profile: original 1969 to 1980s homes at the lower end, updated mid-century renovations in the middle, and 2020s and 2025 custom new builds at the top. Condition and construction era are the two biggest price drivers.

When was Carondelet built?
Carondelet was developed in sections beginning in 1969. Year-built values in the current closed sales sample span 1969 to 2025, because a meaningful share of original homes have been renovated, replaced, or are being scraped for new custom construction. Buyers should expect to find a mix of original-to-the-lot homes and near-new custom builds on the same street.

What schools serve Carondelet?
Carondelet is zoned to Williamson County Schools: Lipscomb Elementary, Brentwood Middle School, and Brentwood High School. Top private options within a short drive include Brentwood Academy, Lipscomb Academy, Christ Presbyterian Academy, Ensworth, Harpeth Hall, and Montgomery Bell Academy.

Is there an HOA in Carondelet?
Dues are minimal at $40 annually where they apply, and the neighborhood is not a modern amenitized HOA community. Buyers should confirm HOA status at the individual section level during due diligence, since not every section carries the same association profile.

How big are the lots in Carondelet?
Lot sizes in the current sales sample ranged from 0.89 to 1.19 acres. Homesites average right around one acre, which is the single most important feature for buyers prioritizing privacy, outdoor space, and the ability to add pool, sport-court, or detached workshop features.

What architectural styles are common in Carondelet?
Original construction is a mix of brick traditional, ranch, split-level, and two-story colonial homes from 1969 through the 1980s and 1990s. Newer and renovated homes trend toward transitional and modern farmhouse styles, with primary-on-main floor plans common in the 2020s custom builds.

Why is there such a wide price spread in Carondelet?
Because Carondelet sits on acre-plus lots inside a short commuter radius to downtown Nashville, custom builders have been actively sourcing parcels here for over a decade. That means a 1,441 square foot original 1970s home at $700,000 can trade the same month as a 7,376 square foot 2025 custom build at $4,210,000. Condition, construction era, and renovation scope are the three variables that drive the bulk of the price variance.

Is Carondelet a good fit for buyers who want an acre lot and are open to renovating or building?
Yes. Carondelet is one of the few Brentwood communities where buyers can still acquire an original acre-lot home in the $700K to $1.2M range with the option to renovate, scrape, or build new. For buyers who want a turnkey estate, the 2020s custom build inventory in the $2.5M to $4M+ band is also active. The flexibility across entry points is why Carondelet tends to attract both move-up buyers and custom-build investors.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying in Carondelet?
Patrick treats Carondelet as a comp-selection market first. With a year-built range spanning 1969 to 2025 and sale prices spanning $700K to $4.21M, the wrong comp set can misprice an offer or a listing by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Patrick pulls full renovation history, permit records, and land-value comps on every property before writing, and he separates “original condition” comps from “custom new build” comps so each is priced against its true peer set. As a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with 1,100+ transactions across Middle Tennessee, he writes offers with the condition and land-value positioning that match how Carondelet listing agents evaluate terms.

Who is the best real estate agent for Carondelet in Brentwood TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is one of the most experienced agents working the Carondelet and greater Franklin Road acreage market in Brentwood 37027. He is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads the #1 team in Nashville and the #7 team in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends, and has closed 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in residential sales across Middle Tennessee since 2014. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews, client feedback consistently points to the team’s pricing accuracy, comp selection in mixed-era neighborhoods like Carondelet, and negotiation across the $700K to $4M+ price band that this community covers.

Can I buy a Carondelet home before it hits Zillow?
Often, yes. Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs surface inventory before it goes live on Zillow, Realtor.com, or Redfin, and a meaningful share of Brentwood acreage transactions happen through agent networks rather than the open market. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to that pre-market inventory at no additional cost to you. In Carondelet specifically, where custom builders and scrape-and-build investors are active on the lot-value side, pre-market access is often the difference between acquiring a parcel and watching it go to another buyer.

What is my Carondelet home worth in today’s market?
Automated valuation tools like Zillow’s Zestimate consistently misprice Carondelet. The neighborhood has extreme condition and construction-era variance (1969 originals trading next to 2025 custom builds), a wide price band ($700K to $4.21M in the past 12 months), and acre-lot land premiums that algorithms do not price well. Two houses on the same street can be separated by more than $2M based on renovation and rebuild scope alone. For an instant starting estimate, use the Nashville Home Guru home value tool, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a full pricing analysis that factors in your exact condition, renovation scope, lot, and current Carondelet comp set.
