Charlton Green

FRANKLIN’S ESTABLISHED MIXED-PROFILE COMMUNITY OFF MURFREESBORO ROAD

Location and Daily Life in Charlton Green

Charlton Green sits just off Murfreesboro Road on the east side of Franklin, Tennessee, inside the 37064 zip code. The neighborhood is laid out across a quiet network of streets including Ashland Court, Basil Court, Eaton Court, Ravenwood Court, and Watercress Drive. Lots are flat, mature trees line the streets, and through-traffic stays on Murfreesboro Road rather than cutting into the subdivision.

Daily life here looks like a settled, established Franklin pocket. Residents are roughly five to ten minutes from Historic Downtown Franklin’s Main Street, Public Square, the Franklin Theatre, and Pinkerton Park. Cool Springs and I-65 access via Mack Hatcher Parkway or Murfreesboro Road keep Brentwood, Cool Springs corporate offices, and downtown Nashville inside a workable commute window for working buyers, downsizers, and first-time owners moving up into Franklin.

The Homes in Charlton Green

Charlton Green is an established Franklin community built across multiple sections in the 1970s and 1980s. Year-built data on closed sales ranges from 1973 to 1986, which means the neighborhood includes a meaningful mix of two distinct profiles. Section 1 includes smaller mid-1970s ranches and patio-style homes (approximately 1,880 to 2,200 square feet, two to three bedrooms, one to two bathrooms, on lots as small as 0.09 acres). Section 2 includes larger 1980s two-story traditional homes (approximately 3,000 to 4,000+ square feet, four bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a half, on quarter-acre lots). That mix is what creates the wide closed-sale price band in the neighborhood.

Updates seen on recent closed sales include luxury vinyl plank flooring, white-and-stone kitchens, primary-bath remodels, and reworked back-yard outdoor living. Several Watercress Drive homes have been resold within the past 12 months at meaningfully higher prices following targeted renovations.

HOA structure in Charlton Green varies meaningfully by section. Some homes pay monthly dues (approximately $79 per month, or about $948 annually), while others pay an annual fee (approximately $772 to $900 per year). This is one of the most important verification steps before writing an offer, because the HOA structure tells you which section of Charlton Green a specific home is in.

Charlton Green Market Data

The table below reflects Charlton Green closed sales over the rolling 12-month period.

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

Charlton Green moved at a fast pace over the past 12 months, with a median 8 days on market across the four closed sales. The wide price band ($375,000 to $980,000) is not a sign of market volatility, it is a reflection of the neighborhood’s two-section profile: smaller mid-1970s homes in Section 1 and larger 1980s two-story traditionals in Section 2. The price-per-square-foot spread ($199 to $328) tells the same story. When pricing or evaluating a Charlton Green home, the section it sits in matters more than the broad neighborhood median.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

Charlton Green is a two-section neighborhood with very different home profiles between Section 1 and Section 2, and accurate pricing depends on getting the section right. Buyers face fast 8-day median timelines on updated homes, an HOA structure that varies by section, and a price-per-square-foot spread that runs from $199 to $328. Sellers face the same complexity in reverse: a generic CMA pulling the broad Charlton Green median ($772,500) will under-price a Section 2 four-bedroom on Watercress Drive and over-price a Section 1 two-bedroom on Basil Court. Mass-market valuation tools (Zestimate, Redfin estimate) cannot see this section-level distinction.

In Franklin’s 37064 zip code, Compass and Parks agents represented approximately 41 percent of all closed home sales over the past 12 months, with 570 of 1,388 transactions involving a Compass or Parks agent on either the listing or buying side. That depth of representation matters in a neighborhood like Charlton Green where buyers move quickly on updated inventory and pre-market visibility makes the difference between getting the home and missing it.

Charlton Green is a built-out Franklin subdivision developed across two sections from the early 1970s through the mid-1980s, organized along Ashland Court, Basil Court, Eaton Court, Ravenwood Court, and Watercress Drive. Total inventory is roughly 100 to 150 single-family homes, which is consistent with annual closed-sale volume in the mid-single digits.

How close is Charlton Green to Downtown Franklin and Cool Springs?
Charlton Green sits just off Murfreesboro Road, roughly five to ten minutes from Historic Downtown Franklin’s Main Street, Public Square, and Franklin Theatre. Cool Springs and I-65 are about ten to fifteen minutes east via Mack Hatcher Parkway or Murfreesboro Road.

Is Charlton Green a good fit for first-time buyers and move-up buyers?
Yes, on both fronts. For first-time buyers, Section 1 of Charlton Green offers some of the most attainable Franklin price points (closed sales as low as $375,000) inside a Williamson County school zone, with no through-traffic and quick access to Downtown Franklin. For move-up buyers, Section 2 offers larger 1980s traditional homes in the $750,000 to $980,000 range with four bedrooms and bonus space, which is one of the more practical Franklin choices for buyers moving up from a starter home in Section 1, Boyd Mill Estates, or Hill Estates.

How does Patrick Higgins approach selling a home in Charlton Green?
Charlton Green is a two-section neighborhood, and accurate pricing depends entirely on which section a home sits in. Patrick’s approach starts with a hand-built CMA that grades each comparable closed sale by section, square footage, interior updates, and primary-suite scope, then layers in active and pending data inside the neighborhood and the surrounding Murfreesboro Road corridor. Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs are used to test pricing with qualified buyers before the home hits Zillow, which is how the team has helped Franklin sellers close 2.9 percent higher than the broader public-market average.

Who is the best real estate agent for Charlton Green Subdivision in Franklin TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely recognized as one of the top agents serving the Charlton Green market in Franklin. He is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads the number one team in Nashville and number seven in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings, and has closed 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in residential sales across Middle Tennessee. In Franklin’s 37064 zip code, Compass and Parks agents represented approximately 41 percent of all closed home sales over the past 12 months. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews, past-client feedback consistently points to data-driven pricing, professional marketing, and clear communication.

Can I buy a Charlton Green home before it hits Zillow?
Often, yes. Charlton Green moves quickly when priced correctly (median 8 days on market over the past 12 months), and the most efficient way to find a home here is to be in front of pre-market activity. Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs surface listings to Compass buyer’s agents before they appear on Zillow, Realtor.com, or the public MLS feed. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you that pre-market visibility at no additional cost as a buyer.

What is my Charlton Green home worth in today’s market?
Automated tools like Zillow’s Zestimate consistently miss the mark in Charlton Green because the algorithm cannot distinguish between Section 1 and Section 2 homes, cannot see interior renovation level, and cannot price the section-specific HOA structure. The same Zestimate logic that under-prices an updated Section 2 four-bedroom on Watercress Drive will over-price a tired Section 1 two-bedroom on Basil Court. Use the Nashville Home Guru instant home value tool for a starting estimate, and request a full Charlton Green-specific CMA from Patrick Higgins for an accurate, defensible price.

I want to buy in Charlton Green but I’m worried I’ll either miss the right home or overpay because the price spread is so wide. What should I do?
This is the right concern. Buyers chasing Charlton Green run into the same two-part problem: the best updated homes go to contract inside about a week (median 8 days on market), often before they reach Zillow, and the closed-sale price spread of $375,000 to $980,000 makes it nearly impossible to use a Zestimate or surface-level comp set without overpaying for a Section 1 home or underbidding on a Section 2 home. Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass do three things for buyers who want into Charlton Green. First, we set you up on a Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon alert specifically for Charlton Green and the surrounding Murfreesboro Road corridor, so you see homes before they hit Zillow. Second, we run a section-graded CMA on any home you are considering, breaking out Section 1 and Section 2 comparables separately and grading by interior updates, primary-suite scope, and HOA structure. Third, we negotiate the offer using current Compass and Parks market intelligence, since Compass and Parks represent approximately 41 percent of Franklin 37064 closed sales. Buyers who succeed in Charlton Green are pre-positioned and section-informed before a home hits the market. Call or text Patrick at 615-682-1718 to get on the list.
