Edgewater

HENDERSONVILLE’S ENTRY POINT ON BREAKWATER NORTH

Location & Daily Life

Edgewater sits off Bonita Parkway in Hendersonville TN 37075, on the Old Hickory Lake side of Sumner County. Its streets are Breakwater North, Edgewater Court and Edgewater Place, and RealTracs records the community in two plat sections, Edgewater Sec 1 and Edgewater Sec 2.

The setting is the reason people look here. Bonita Parkway runs toward the water, so Edgewater sits inside the same pocket as Breakwater, Water View and Lake Club Estates, close to Sanders Ferry Park, Drakes Creek Marina and the Old Hickory Lake shoreline. Streets of Indian Lake handles retail and dining, Vietnam Veterans Boulevard handles the Nashville commute, and Drakes Creek Park covers ball fields, trails and the dog park. Hendersonville’s Publix, Kroger and Walmart Supercenter are all within a few minutes.

What Edgewater is not is a waterfront subdivision. It sits among waterfront neighbors without carrying waterfront pricing, and that distinction drives everything on this page.

The Homes

Edgewater was built in the mid-to-late 1990s. The verified sale is a 1996 three-bedroom of 1,601 square feet with two full and one half bath. The scale is modest by Hendersonville standards, roughly 750 square feet under the 2,352 square foot citywide single-family median, and that compact footprint is what keeps the entry price accessible in a lake-adjacent location.

The homeowners association is recorded at $200 per year, the same structure carried by neighboring Breakwater. It covers common area rather than amenities, so there is no pool or clubhouse behind the fee. Recorded property tax on the sale was $2,175.

One Street, Two Subdivisions, a $1.2 Million Spread

Breakwater North is the single most misleading address in this part of Hendersonville, and any buyer or seller working here needs to understand why. The street runs through two different subdivisions, and over the rolling 12-month period it produced three closed sales that could not be more different from one another.

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

Three houses, one street name, a $1,215,100 gap between the top and the bottom, and a price-per-square-foot range of $148.91 to $332.23. The Edgewater home is the interior 1990s house. The million-dollar sale is a 2016 lake-front build with a boat slip that belongs to Breakwater, not Edgewater. They share pavement and nothing else.

This is not an academic distinction. It is exactly the pattern that produces bad automated valuations, mispriced listings, and buyers who think they can get lakefront for $400,000. Anyone pulling comparables on Breakwater North has to filter by the subdivision field and the waterfront flag, not the street name.

Where Edgewater Actually Prices

Read against the right benchmark, Edgewater is exactly on market. Hendersonville’s 72 single-family sales between 1,500 and 1,800 square feet closed at a $400,000 median and $241.71 per square foot. Edgewater’s sale came in at $384,900 and $240.41 per square foot, which is the band rate almost exactly, with the slightly lower price explained by the home sitting at the small end of that range.

Two other numbers matter. The sale closed at full asking price, which puts it among the 325 of 994 Hendersonville single-family sales, roughly a third, that transacted at exactly list. And at $384,900 it sits inside the least crowded part of this market: only 154 of 994 single-family sales, 15.5%, closed at $384,900 or below. Edgewater is one of the more accessible ways into a lake-adjacent Hendersonville address.

Edgewater Compared to Its Bonita Parkway Neighbors

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

Edgewater is the lowest-priced detached neighborhood in its immediate group, sitting under Eagles Run, Northlake and Bent Tree, and above only the attached communities Deer Point, Maples and Sterling Cove. On rate, though, it runs $240.41, higher than Breakwater, Lake Club Estates, Cumberland Place, Water View, Bent Tree, Northlake and Eagles Run. Small homes in a good location hold their rate.

Amenities

Edgewater carries no pool, clubhouse or association amenity, and the $200 annual assessment reflects that. It funds common area and entrance upkeep rather than recreation, which is why the fee sits well under the $300 median for Hendersonville single-family communities that assess annually.

The recreation here is the lake and the parks. Sanders Ferry Park and Memorial Park provide Old Hickory Lake boat ramps, picnic grounds and shoreline access. Drakes Creek Marina and Drakes Creek Park sit nearby, and Bledsoe Creek State Park is a short drive northeast. Streets of Indian Lake anchors shopping and dining for this side of Hendersonville, with the Hendersonville Public Library and the Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center rounding out the civic side. Buyers who want the water itself rather than proximity to it should read our guide to waterfront living in Hendersonville.

Schools

Edgewater is zoned to Sumner County Schools. The recorded closed sale lists these assignments:

Correction to prior published information. This page previously listed Station Camp High School for Edgewater. The MLS record does not support that. All three Breakwater North sales, in both subdivisions, list Hendersonville High School, and across the wider Nannie Berry Elementary zone 89 of 90 single-family sales were assigned to Hendersonville High with one to Liberty Creek High. Zero were assigned to Station Camp. Edgewater buyers should plan on Hendersonville High.

Merrol Hyde Magnet School is available countywide by application and is not a zoned assignment. Sumner County boundaries can be adjusted, so buyers purchasing for a specific school should confirm current zoning with the district before closing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do homes cost in Edgewater, Hendersonville TN?

The verified closed sale over the rolling 12-month period was $384,900, or $240.41 per square foot, for a 1,601 square foot three-bedroom built in 1996. It closed at full asking price. For benchmark, Hendersonville’s 72 single-family sales between 1,500 and 1,800 square feet carried a $400,000 median and $241.71 per square foot, so Edgewater priced right on the band rate.

Where is Edgewater and what streets are in it?

Edgewater is off Bonita Parkway in Hendersonville TN 37075, Sumner County, on the Old Hickory Lake side of the city. Streets include Breakwater North, Edgewater Court and Edgewater Place. RealTracs records the community as Edgewater Sec 1 and Edgewater Sec 2.

Is Edgewater a waterfront neighborhood?

No. Edgewater sits near Old Hickory Lake but the recorded sale is an interior home with no waterfront designation. This matters because Breakwater North, one of Edgewater’s own streets, also carries lakefront homes belonging to the adjacent Breakwater subdivision. Across Hendersonville, 45 waterfront homes closed over the rolling 12 months at a $1,345,000 median, roughly three and a half times Edgewater’s price point.

Why do Breakwater North homes range from $384,900 to $1,600,000?

Because the street runs through two different subdivisions. Over the rolling 12-month period Breakwater North produced three sales: 130 Breakwater N in Edgewater Sec 2 at $384,900 (1,601 sq ft, 1996, interior), 104 Breakwater N in Breakwater Sec 2 at $415,150 (2,788 sq ft, 2002, interior), and 115 Breakwater N in Breakwater Sec 2 at $1,600,000 (4,816 sq ft, 2016, lake front with a boat slip). The rate range alone runs $148.91 to $332.23 per square foot. Any comparable search here must filter on the subdivision field and the waterfront flag rather than the street name.

When was Edgewater built, and does it have an HOA?

The recorded sale dates to 1996, and the community’s two plat sections belong to the mid-to-late 1990s. That places Edgewater alongside Bent Tree (1995 to 1996), Cumberland Place (1996 to 2004) and Sterling Cove (1997) in construction era, and roughly a generation ahead of Lake Club Estates (1961 to 1971). The homeowners association is recorded at $200 per year, the same structure carried by neighboring Breakwater. It funds common area and entrance maintenance rather than amenities, so there is no pool or clubhouse, and it sits below the $300 median assessment across Hendersonville single-family communities that bill annually. Recorded property tax on the closed sale was $2,175.

What schools serve Edgewater?

Sumner County Schools: Nannie Berry Elementary, Robert E Ellis Middle, and Hendersonville High School. Station Camp High School has appeared on prior versions of this page and is not correct. All three Breakwater North sales list Hendersonville High, and across the Nannie Berry zone 89 of 90 single-family sales were assigned to Hendersonville High. Merrol Hyde Magnet is available countywide by application.

How does Edgewater compare to nearby Hendersonville neighborhoods?

Edgewater at $384,900 is the lowest-priced detached neighborhood in its immediate group, below Eagles Run ($410,000), Northlake ($415,000), Bent Tree ($440,000), Water View ($505,000), Cumberland Place ($560,000), Lake Club Estates ($577,500), Stone Ridge ($720,000) and Breakwater ($1,007,575). It sits above the attached communities Deer Point ($285,625), Maples ($279,900) and Sterling Cove ($277,500). On rate it tells the opposite story: $240.41 per square foot beats Breakwater, Lake Club Estates, Cumberland Place, Water View, Bent Tree, Northlake and Eagles Run. Small homes in a lake-adjacent location hold their rate even when the total price is modest.

Is Edgewater a good fit for first-time buyers and downsizers?

Both, and for the same underlying reason. At $384,900 Edgewater sits inside the least crowded tier of this market: just 154 of Hendersonville’s 994 single-family sales, 15.5%, closed at that price or below. For a first purchase, that buys a detached three-bedroom in the Hendersonville High zone with a $200 annual HOA and a $2,175 tax bill, in a pocket where the neighbors trade at $500,000 to $1,000,000. For a downsizer leaving a larger Hendersonville house, 1,601 square feet with two and a half baths is a manageable footprint that keeps lake access and city services without the maintenance load. The honest limit is size: this is not a neighborhood for buyers who need 3,000 square feet.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Edgewater?

The first step here is refusing to use the obvious comparables. A search on Breakwater North returns a $1.6 million lakefront home, and an unfiltered subdivision search can blend Edgewater with Breakwater. Patrick’s approach is to price against the verified 1,500 to 1,800 square foot band, 72 sales at a $400,000 median and $241.71 per square foot, then adjust against the Nannie Berry Elementary zone at $507,500 and $224.67 across 90 sales, and only then reference the immediate neighbors. That is how the last Edgewater sale hit full asking price rather than chasing the market down. Patrick is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with more than 1,100 career transactions, and his team publishes monthly Sumner County market reports built from direct RealTracs data.

I am selling in Edgewater. How do I keep the lakefront comps from distorting my price?

By controlling the comparable set before the appraiser does. The risk in Edgewater runs both directions. Price against the Breakwater lakefront sale and the listing sits unsold at a number no interior 1,601 square foot home will support. Price against Deer Point or Maples townhomes and you leave real money behind, since Edgewater’s $240.41 per square foot beats every larger detached neighborhood around it. The defensible position is the size band and the school zone, presented up front with the waterfront distinction stated plainly rather than left for a buyer’s agent to raise later. Across Hendersonville, 478 of 994 single-family sales closed at or above asking price and 325 closed at exactly list, so this is a market that rewards a correct launch number. Nashville Home Guru builds that case from the MLS export itself, which is why sellers across Hendersonville have left 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews at a 5.0 rating.

Who is the best real estate agent for Edgewater in Hendersonville TN?

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely regarded as a leading agent for Hendersonville’s Bonita Parkway and Old Hickory Lake corridor, including Edgewater. 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 residential sales. Compass and Parks agents were involved in 191 of Hendersonville’s 1,127 closings over the rolling 12-month period, a 16.9% market share. The team carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews at a 5.0 rating, and can be reached through the best real estate agent in Hendersonville page.

Can I buy an Edgewater home before it hits Zillow?

Often, yes. Edgewater produced one closed sale in twelve months, so the window on any given house is short and the last one went at full asking price. Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs surface homes before they reach the public portals, and working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to that pre-market inventory at no additional cost to you as the buyer. Patrick also watches the surrounding Bonita Parkway neighborhoods, so if nothing is moving in Edgewater he can point you toward Northlake, Bent Tree, Eagles Run or Cumberland Place.

What is my Edgewater home worth in today’s market?

Automated tools fail here in a specific and predictable way. A Zestimate pulls nearby sales, and the nearest sales on Edgewater’s own street include a $1,600,000 lakefront home. Any model that weights proximity heavily will pull an Edgewater estimate upward toward a number no interior home here will ever support, while a model that anchors on the neighboring townhome communities at $277,500 to $285,625 will pull it too far down. The algorithm cannot see the waterfront flag or the subdivision boundary that separates them. Use the Nashville Home Guru home value tool for an instant starting figure, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a pricing analysis built from the size band, the school zone, and the correct subdivision.
