Harpeth Crest

THE MORTON MILL CORRIDOR’S LARGEST HOMES, BELLEVUE, NASHVILLE TN 37221

A Small Pocket With a Naming Problem

Harpeth Crest is a small single-family enclave off Morton Mill Road in the Bellevue area of Nashville, TN 37221, in Davidson County. The houses are the newest thing in this corridor, built in the early-to-mid 2000s while everything around them went up in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, and they are the largest: four bedrooms, three and a half baths, two stories, side-entry two-car garages, roughly 3,100 to 3,300 square feet.

There is one thing to fix before anything else. This page previously said that every Harpeth Crest property sits on Morton Mill Road. That is not correct. The only Harpeth Crest home to close in the past 12 months is on River Bend Road, and Harpeth Crest addresses appear on both streets. If you have been searching one road and finding nothing, that is why.

Two Streets, and Neither One Is Only Yours

Harpeth Crest sits at the intersection of two of the most confusing street names in Bellevue, and both of them are shared with other subdivisions. River Bend Road is two neighborhoods. The 7333 address is Harpeth Crest, built in 2006 at 3,314 square feet with a $75 monthly HOA. The 7200-block addresses on the same road, plus River Bend Circle, belong to River Bend, built between 1988 and 1995 at 2,354 to 2,819 square feet with dues of $40 to $47 a month. Newer, larger, nearly double the dues, same street sign.

Morton Mill is worse. Four different subdivisions carry a Morton Mill address across three suffixes: Harpeth Crest and Southampton both on Morton Mill Road, Morton Mill Estates on Morton Mill Circle, and Riverside on Morton Mill Court. Their medians this year ran from $505,000 to $685,000 and their build years from 1987 to 2013. A comparable-sales search built on “Morton Mill” will return four unrelated products and average them into a number that describes none of them.

Location and Daily Life in Harpeth Crest

The outdoor access is the reason to be here, and the record spells it out. One Harpeth Crest property adjoins the Harpeth River Greenway directly, with trail connections running to the Harpeth Valley Golf Center and on into the Warner Parks system, which means hiking and nature trails from the back of the lot rather than a drive across town. The listing describes an oversized screened rear porch set into mature greenery like a treehouse, which is a fair description of what a lot backing to a greenway in Bellevue actually feels like.

Everyday errands are standard Bellevue: One Bellevue Place for groceries, restaurants and the theater, with I-40 close enough to put downtown Nashville around 20 minutes east. Lots here run from roughly a quarter to just under half an acre, and the wider 37221 market surrounds it on every side.

Harpeth Crest Market Data

Harpeth Crest is small, and small neighborhoods produce thin records. One home closed here in the rolling 12-month window. That is not a sign of a stalled market; it is what a handful of houses looks like when almost nobody moves. Rather than build a median out of a single transaction, here is that transaction in full, followed by the corridor around it.

The Morton Mill Corridor, Compared

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period.

Read down the two price columns and the pattern is clear. Harpeth Crest posted the highest sale price in the corridor and, at $206.70 per square foot, a lower cost per foot than every neighbor except Morton Mill Estates. You are not paying a premium here. You are buying more house.

The same holds against the wider ZIP code. Across 37221, homes of 3,000 to 3,600 square feet closed 83 times this year at a median of $750,000 and $226.26 per square foot. The Harpeth Crest sale came in $65,000 under that median for the same amount of space, and about $20 per foot cheaper. That is the argument for this pocket in one line: it is the least expensive way to buy 3,300 square feet in Bellevue.

Schools

Both Harpeth Crest records carry Harpeth Valley Elementary, Bellevue Middle, and James Lawson High School, all Metro Nashville Public Schools in Davidson County. James Lawson is the school formerly known by the Hillwood name, so older listings and third-party sites may still show the previous name for the same school. School zones change, so confirm the current assignment for a specific address before relying on it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Harpeth Crest

What is Harpeth Crest in Nashville TN?

Harpeth Crest is a small single-family enclave off Morton Mill Road in the Bellevue area of Nashville, TN 37221, in Davidson County, built in the early-to-mid 2000s. Homes are two-story, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath houses of roughly 3,100 to 3,300 square feet with side-entry two-car garages, on lots of about a quarter to just under half an acre, with a $75 monthly HOA.

Are all Harpeth Crest homes on Morton Mill Road?

No. This page used to say so, and the record does not support it. Harpeth Crest addresses appear on both Morton Mill Road and River Bend Road, and the only Harpeth Crest home to close in the past 12 months is the River Bend Road address. If you have been searching Morton Mill Road alone and coming up empty, that is the reason.

Is 7333 River Bend Road in Harpeth Crest or in River Bend?

Harpeth Crest. River Bend Road runs through two different subdivisions. The 7333 address is recorded as Harpeth Crest, built in 2006 at 3,314 square feet with a $75 monthly HOA. The 7200-block addresses on the same road, along with River Bend Circle, are recorded as River Bend, built between 1988 and 1995 at 2,354 to 2,819 square feet with dues of $40 to $47 a month. Newer, larger, and nearly double the dues, on the same street.

Does Harpeth Crest have an HOA?

Yes. Both records carry a $75 monthly fee, which is $900 a year. That is roughly 60% to 85% higher than the $40 to $47 monthly dues recorded next door in River Bend, so when comparing two homes on the same street, check which subdivision each one is in before assuming the carrying costs match. Ask the seller for the current budget and any recorded restrictions before closing.

What sold in Harpeth Crest this year?

One home closed in the rolling 12 months: 3,314 square feet, four bedrooms and three and a half baths, built in 2006, sold for $685,000 at $206.70 per square foot. It took 245 days to go under contract and closed at 95.1% of its original asking price. A second Harpeth Crest home is currently under contract, and its figures will be published here once the sale records. One transaction is what a neighborhood this small produces in a year; it is not a sign of a stalled market.

How does Harpeth Crest compare to other Morton Mill neighborhoods?

It is the newest and largest product in the corridor, and close to the cheapest per square foot. The Harpeth Crest sale at $685,000 was the highest price among the Morton Mill neighborhoods this year, but at $206.70 per square foot it undercut River Bend at $248.01, Southampton at $250.45, Riverside at $223.43, and Avondale Park at $222.43. Only Morton Mill Estates, at $177.36, came in lower. Against the ZIP code’s own 3,000 to 3,600 square foot band, which had a median of $750,000, the sale was $65,000 cheaper for the same amount of space.

How many subdivisions have a Morton Mill address?

Four, across three street suffixes. Harpeth Crest and Southampton both have addresses on Morton Mill Road, Morton Mill Estates is on Morton Mill Circle, and Riverside is on Morton Mill Court. Their medians this year ranged from $505,000 to $685,000 and their construction dates from 1987 to 2013. Any comparable-sales search built on the words “Morton Mill” will pull four unrelated products together, so work from the recorded subdivision instead.

What schools serve Harpeth Crest?

Both records carry Harpeth Valley Elementary, Bellevue Middle, and James Lawson High School, all Metro Nashville Public Schools. James Lawson is the school formerly known by the Hillwood name, so older listings may still show that name for the same school. Zoning can change, so verify the current assignment for a specific address.

Is Harpeth Crest a good fit for families who need space?

That is the clearest case for it. Four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a bonus room, and 3,100 to 3,300 square feet is a genuine family floor plan, and at $206.70 per square foot it is the least expensive way to buy that much space in this part of Bellevue. The Harpeth Valley Elementary zone and greenway access at the property line support the same buyer. The trade-off is that the primary bedroom is upstairs on both records, so this is not a fit for anyone who needs single-level living, and the $75 monthly HOA is higher than the neighbors charge.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Harpeth Crest?

By pricing from the corridor rather than from the subdivision, because the subdivision produces one sale a year. That single sale took 245 days and settled at 95.1% of its opening price, which tells a seller that the buyer pool for a 3,300 square foot home at this price point is real but thin, and that patience or an accurate first number will both be required. On the buying side the job is verifying which subdivision an address actually belongs to, since Harpeth Crest shares River Bend Road with River Bend and Morton Mill Road with Southampton. That work draws on 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in Middle Tennessee sales.

Who is the best real estate agent for Harpeth Crest in Nashville TN?

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and a top 1% producer, leading the #1 team in Nashville and a top 10 team in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings, with 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales. Across ZIP code 37221, Compass, Parks and Pilkerton agents were on one side of nearly 40% of all closings this year. He publishes verified RealTracs data for small Bellevue pockets like this one rather than automated estimates, and carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews at 5.0 stars.

Can I buy a Harpeth Crest home before it hits Zillow?

In a neighborhood that produces one sale a year, this is close to the only reliable strategy. Compass Private Exclusive and Compass Coming Soon let sellers market a home to Compass agents and their clients before it reaches the public portals, and working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you access to that inventory at no additional cost. The other route is direct outreach to owners who have not listed, which in a pocket this small is a short list rather than a campaign.

What is my Harpeth Crest home worth in today’s market?

Automated valuation tools fail badly here, and for reasons specific to this pocket. With one sale in twelve months there is almost nothing to calibrate against, so the models reach for the nearest addresses and pull in River Bend homes that are fifteen years older and 800 square feet smaller on the same street. They also miss the $75 monthly HOA and the greenway lot position entirely. Start with an instant estimate through the home value tool, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a pricing analysis built from the corridor rather than from a thin subdivision record.
