Glen Leven

HENDERSONVILLE’S LARGE-HOME POCKET OFF JEFFERSON DRIVE

Location & Daily Life

Glen Leven sits off Jefferson Drive in Hendersonville TN 37075, Sumner County, inside the Indian Lake Elementary attendance zone. Its streets are Chickamauga Drive, Glen Leven Way, Loch Leven Way and Natchez Drive, and RealTracs records the community as Glen Leven Sec 1.

This is one of the better-positioned pockets in Hendersonville. Indian Lake Boulevard and the Streets of Indian Lake retail district are minutes away, which puts the city’s largest concentration of dining, shopping and the movie theater within a short drive. Vietnam Veterans Boulevard handles the Nashville commute in roughly thirty minutes. Drakes Creek Park covers ball fields, trails and the dog park, Sanders Ferry Park and Memorial Park provide Old Hickory Lake access with boat ramps, and the Hendersonville Public Library and Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center round out the civic side.

The immediate neighbors are a useful signal for what kind of address this is: Ballentrae, Point O View, Cumberland Hills and Stone Ridge all sit nearby, and the Indian Lake Elementary zone as a whole carries a $647,950 median across 92 single-family sales, well above the $565,000 citywide figure.

The Homes

Glen Leven is a large-home neighborhood. The verified sale is a 2005 build of 3,960 square feet with four bedrooms, three full and two half baths, on a 0.36 acre lot. That size puts it in the top 8.8% of the Hendersonville market, where only 87 of 994 single-family sales reached 3,960 square feet or more.

There is no homeowners association on record. That is less common at this price point than buyers expect: of the 469 Hendersonville single-family sales with no HOA, only 71 closed at $800,000 or above, and those carried a $1,100,000 median. A large 2000s home with no assessment and no architectural review is a specific product, and Glen Leven is one of the places to find it.

Recorded property tax on the sale was $4,408, consistent with an upper-tier Sumner County single-family assessment and a useful planning number for anyone budgeting carrying costs here.

Large Square Footage at Below-Band Pricing

The number that defines Glen Leven is the rate, not the price. Across Hendersonville, 120 single-family homes closed between 3,500 and 4,500 square feet over the rolling 12-month period, at a $900,000 median and $241.38 per square foot. Glen Leven’s sale came in at $880,000 and $222.22 per square foot.

Put differently: priced at the band rate, a 3,960 square foot home would have closed near $955,900. The Glen Leven sale landed roughly $76,000 under that, a discount of about $19 per square foot on a home in the top 9% of the market by size.

Two things account for it. The home sold $19,000 under its asking price, and the 0.36 acre lot is below the 0.46 acre median for the Indian Lake Elementary zone. Neither is a problem, but both should be understood before treating this single sale as the neighborhood ceiling.

For context on where $880,000 sits in this market: 138 of Hendersonville’s 994 single-family sales, 13.9%, closed at $880,000 or above. This is a genuine upper-tier address, and the Indian Lake Elementary zone that surrounds it runs a $647,950 median at $223.12 per square foot across 92 sales, which makes Glen Leven’s rate almost exactly zone-typical while its price sits $232,000 higher. The premium is size.

Glen Leven Compared to Its Jefferson Drive Neighbors

The most instructive row is Ballentrae, which delivers essentially the same footprint at 3,953 median square feet but from 1985 to 1999 construction, and prices $172,550 lower at $187.91 per square foot. Twenty years of construction age is worth roughly $34 per square foot in this corridor. Running the other direction, Somerset Downs carries slightly less square footage at a $290.72 rate and a $1,068,500 median. Glen Leven sits between them, closer to Ballentrae on rate and closer to Somerset Downs on era.

Amenities

Glen Leven has no association pool, clubhouse or common facility, and no HOA fee on record to fund one. For buyers at this price point that is often the preference: the lot, the house and the location carry the value, and there is no assessment or architectural review committee governing a fence, a pool or an addition.

The amenities that matter here are within a short drive. Streets of Indian Lake anchors dining, shopping and the theater. Drakes Creek Park offers ball fields, walking trails and a dog park. Sanders Ferry Park and Memorial Park provide Old Hickory Lake boat ramps and shoreline. Drakes Creek Marina handles launch and storage. The Hendersonville Public Library, Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center, and the Gallatin Pike grocery and service corridor complete the picture. Buyers weighing lake frontage instead should read our guide to waterfront living in Hendersonville.

Schools

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

This is one of the most consistent zones in Hendersonville. Across all 92 single-family sales in the Indian Lake Elementary zone over the rolling 12-month period, every single one fed to Robert E Ellis Middle School and Hendersonville High School, with no exceptions and no splits. Buyers here do not face the address-by-address verification problem that affects several other Hendersonville elementary zones.

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.

Streets include Chickamauga Drive, Glen Leven Way, Loch Leven Way and Natchez Drive. RealTracs records the community as Glen Leven Sec 1.

When was Glen Leven built, and does it have an HOA?

The recorded sale dates to 2005, placing Glen Leven in the same construction era as Indian Ridge (2004 to 2015) and Somerset Downs (2006 onward), and a generation newer than Ballentrae (1985 to 1999) and Point O View (1971 to 2002). There is no homeowners association on record, so no assessment and no architectural review. Recorded property tax on the sale was $4,408.

How large are Glen Leven homes?

The verified sale is 3,960 square feet, which places it in the top 8.8% of the Hendersonville market by size: only 87 of 994 single-family sales reached 3,960 square feet or more. For reference, the citywide single-family median is 2,352 square feet and the Indian Lake Elementary zone median is 3,004. The lot is 0.36 acres, modestly below the 0.46 acre zone median.

Is Glen Leven expensive relative to comparable Hendersonville homes?

On price yes, on rate no. Hendersonville’s 120 single-family sales between 3,500 and 4,500 square feet closed at a $900,000 median and $241.38 per square foot. Glen Leven came in at $880,000 and $222.22, so at the band rate a 3,960 square foot home would have closed near $955,900. The Glen Leven sale landed roughly $76,000 under that. Its rate is also almost exactly the $223.12 median for the surrounding Indian Lake Elementary zone, where the median price is $647,950. Glen Leven costs more than the zone because the houses are larger, not because the rate is higher.

What schools serve Glen Leven?

Sumner County Schools: Indian Lake Elementary School, Robert E Ellis Middle School and Hendersonville High School. This is one of the most consistent zones in the city. Across all 92 single-family sales in the Indian Lake Elementary zone, every one fed to Robert E Ellis Middle and Hendersonville High, with no splits or exceptions. Merrol Hyde Magnet is available countywide by application.

How does Glen Leven compare to nearby Hendersonville neighborhoods?

Glen Leven’s $880,000 sits below Somerset Downs ($1,068,500) and Indian Ridge ($922,000), and above Cumberland Hills ($800,000), Stone Ridge ($720,000), Ballentrae ($707,450), Twin Meadows ($664,950), Berry Hill ($599,900), Point O View ($586,000), Cumberland Place ($560,000) and Bridgemill at Indian Lake ($350,500). The sharpest comparison is Ballentrae, which delivers nearly identical square footage at 3,953 median but from 1985 to 1999 construction, and prices $172,550 lower at $187.91 per square foot. Roughly twenty years of construction age is worth about $34 per square foot in this corridor.

Is Glen Leven a good fit for large or multigenerational families?

It is one of the better fits in Hendersonville for that buyer. Four bedrooms with three full and two half baths across 3,960 square feet gives genuine separation between household zones, which is what makes a multigenerational arrangement workable rather than merely possible. The Indian Lake Elementary zone is fully consistent through Robert E Ellis Middle and Hendersonville High, so a family will not face a school reassignment moving between levels. No HOA means an addition, a pool or an in-law suite conversion does not require architectural approval. The tradeoffs are honest ones: at 0.36 acres the lot is modest for the house, so outdoor space is proportionally smaller than the interior suggests, and a 2005 build is now approaching the age where major systems deserve inspection.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Glen Leven?

With one sale in twelve months, Glen Leven cannot be priced from itself, and the neighboring subdivisions disagree sharply. Ballentrae runs $187.91 per square foot, Somerset Downs $290.72, and Cumberland Hills $303.09 on much smaller homes. Patrick’s approach is to anchor on the size band rather than the map: the 120 Hendersonville sales between 3,500 and 4,500 square feet at a $900,000 median and $241.38 per square foot, then adjust for the Indian Lake Elementary zone at $647,950 and $223.12 across 92 sales, and finally for construction era, since the 142 sales built between 2000 and 2010 closed at $549,950 and $213.03. Compass listed the last Glen Leven sale, so the team has direct transactional history in this specific community. Patrick is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with more than 1,100 career transactions.

I own a large home in Glen Leven. How do I avoid leaving money on the table?

The verified sale is instructive: it closed $19,000 under asking at a rate roughly $19 per square foot below its own size band. In an upper-tier listing that gap compounds fast, because square footage multiplies every dollar of rate. The core question is whether the home is presented as a large home in a good school zone, which invites comparison to Ballentrae at $187.91 per square foot, or as a 2000s-era home in the top 9% of the market by size with no HOA, which invites comparison to the $241.38 band rate. Those two framings are roughly $76,000 apart on a 3,960 square foot house. Across Hendersonville, 478 of 994 single-family sales closed at or above asking price, so the market does pay correctly positioned listings. 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 Glen Leven in Hendersonville TN?

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely regarded as a leading agent for Hendersonville’s Indian Lake corridor and upper-tier neighborhoods, including Glen Leven. 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, and Compass listed the most recent Glen Leven sale. 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 a Glen Leven home before it hits Zillow?

Often, yes, and in the upper tier it is more common than most buyers realize. Glen Leven produced one closed sale in twelve months, and sellers at this price point are frequently the ones who most value discretion, which is exactly the situation Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs are built for. 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 tracks the surrounding Indian Lake corridor, so if nothing is moving in Glen Leven he can point you to Indian Ridge, Somerset Downs, Ballentrae or Cumberland Hills.

What is my Glen Leven home worth in today’s market?

Automated tools have a specific weakness in this neighborhood: the surrounding rates are wildly inconsistent. Ballentrae next door trades at $187.91 per square foot and Cumberland Hills at $303.09, a spread of $115 per foot among immediate neighbors. Applied to a 3,960 square foot home, that difference is more than $455,000, and a Zestimate has no reliable way to choose between them. It also cannot see that Glen Leven carries no HOA, a distinction that separates it from much of the comparable inventory. 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 construction era.
