The Cloister at St Henry

NASHVILLE’S 55+ COMMUNITY BY PERCY WARNER PARK

Location & Daily Life

The Cloister at St Henry sits between Vaughns Gap Road and Harding Pike near Percy Warner Park in Nashville’s 37205 zip code, beside the St. Henry Catholic Church campus that gives the community its name. Streets in the record this year included Cana Circle, Mount Carmel Place, Marquette Drive, Siena Drive, Loyola Drive, Glenmary Court, and Emma Neuhoff Court. Neighboring markets include Warner Park Valley, Wessex Tower, West Meade Park, West Meade Highlands, Belle Meade Highlands, and Belle Meade Tower.

Daily life is the point here: single-story living with no stairs, the association handling the exteriors and grounds, Percy Warner Park’s trails five minutes away, and the Belle Meade and West Meade retail corridors just down Harding Pike. Nashville Home Guru works with Cloister buyers and sellers as their Realtors; we are not affiliated with the community’s homeowners association or its management company, and our role is representing clients on the purchase and sale of these condos, backed by the verified closed record below.

The Homes

The Cloister is a collection of 240 attached single-story brick-front condominiums built 1983-1987, age-restricted to adults 55 and over, one of the very few communities of its kind inside Nashville’s core zip codes. This year’s closed records ran 1,244 to 1,521 square feet in one to three bedroom plans, and the flat, garden-style layouts are exactly what the community’s downsizers come for: real single-level living without a suburban drive.

The Market This Year: Sixteen Verified Sales

The Cloister recorded sixteen verified closings over the rolling 12-month period, the deepest single-community condo record in the corridor, and the results were strong: 717 Mount Carmel Place closed $6,000 over its asking price at $431,000 with Compass holding the listing, and three more units, including the community’s $499,900 top sale on Marquette Drive, took exactly full asking price.

The Compass network was involved in 10 of the 16 closings, including both sides of two sales, the listing side of the $6,000 over-ask result, and the buyer’s side of two full-ask closings. Sixteen sales against 240 units is roughly 6.7% annual turnover, healthy liquidity for sellers and steady, if competitive, opportunity for buyers. On the corridor’s condo ladder, the Cloister’s $427,000 median sits between Royal Oaks ($410,000) and Harpeth Glen ($444,950), and it is the only rung with an age-restricted, single-story product.

HOA & Amenities

On this period’s closed records, the association fee ran $450 per month on nearly every unit, covering exterior maintenance, grounds, and pool, tennis, and clubhouse upkeep, with insurance, trash pickup, and cable appearing on various records. For 55+ buyers comparing total monthly costs against keeping a house, those inclusions replace most of the maintenance line items single-family owners pay separately. Those figures come from the closed record and are published for buyer due diligence; fees, coverage, and community policies change with association budgets, so confirm current numbers with the association’s management company during any purchase.

Schools

For the multigenerational households and relocating families who ask: the community’s closed records this period carried Westmeade Elementary and Bellevue Middle, with James Lawson High School on nearly every record. As an age-restricted community, occupancy rules matter more than zoning here; verify both with the association’s management company for any specific unit.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

Nashville Home Guru represents buyers and sellers at The Cloister at St Henry; we are Realtors, not the community’s property manager, landlord, or a gateway to the HOA.

Patrick Higgins, a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent leading the #1 team in Nashville and a top 10 team in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings, tracks every closing in the community, and the Compass network was involved in 10 of the Cloister’s 16 sales this period.

Verify current occupancy rules with the association’s management company.

Sixteen units closed over the rolling 12-month period, from $305,550 to $499,900 with a $427,000 median, at $242.89 to $342.68 per square foot on plans of 1,244 to 1,521 square feet.

Who do I contact about the Cloister HOA, dues, age rules, or renting a unit?

The community’s homeowners association and its management company handle dues, age-verification and occupancy rules, maintenance requests, rental policies, and leasing questions; Nashville Home Guru is not affiliated with them and does not manage units here. We are Realtors: if you are buying or selling a Cloister condo, that is where we can help, and Patrick Higgins answers directly at 615-682-1718.

What amenities does The Cloister at St Henry have?

The association maintains the community pool, tennis court, and clubhouse along with all exteriors and grounds, verified across this period’s closed records. Add single-story layouts, Percy Warner Park’s trails five minutes away, and the Harding Pike retail corridor at the entrance, and the amenity package is the low-maintenance 55+ formula in full.

How often do Cloister condos come up for sale?

Steadily. Sixteen closings against 240 units this period is roughly 6.7% annual turnover, so a patient buyer sees regular inventory, though this year’s results, one over-ask and three full-ask sales, show that well-priced units do not wait around. The Compass network was involved in 10 of the 16 closings, so much of that inventory surfaces inside the network first.

How does The Cloister compare with the corridor’s other condo options?

It is the only age-restricted, single-story rung on the ladder. The Cloister’s $427,000 median sits between Royal Oaks at $410,000 and Harpeth Glen at $444,950, but neither alternative offers 55+ occupancy or stair-free plans. For downsizers comparing options, the Cloister trades a modest premium over the corridor’s garden condos for a product built around exactly their needs.

I own a Cloister condo. How should I think about selling?

The community just showed both sides of right pricing: a $6,000 over-ask sale and three full-ask closings against others that closed under list. Condition and plan drive the spread, $243 to $343 per square foot this year, and the buyer pool, while motivated, is specific. Patrick Higgins prices from the verified unit-level record, tests the number privately through Compass Private Exclusive before public exposure, and brings the negotiating discipline of 1,100+ transactions, backed by 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews.

Is The Cloister a good fit for downsizers leaving a West Meade or Belle Meade house?

It is the corridor’s purpose-built answer. Single-story plans, association-handled exteriors, a $450 monthly fee replacing most house maintenance costs, and a $427,000 median that lets a seller leaving a $1 million-plus 37205 house bank the difference, all without leaving the neighborhood they know. That is exactly the move many of this year’s sixteen transactions represent.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying at The Cloister?

Plan-level comps and community-specific diligence. Sixteen sales give the Cloister a real ladder, $305,550 as-is to $499,900 at the top, and Patrick prices each target against its true condition tier while reviewing the association’s documents, reserves, and occupancy rules before any offer. With the Compass network on 10 of 16 closings here, coming-soon units frequently surface inside the network first. He is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent.
