Heath Place at Carnton

FRANKLIN’S ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY OFF LEWISBURG PIKE IN 37064

Location and Daily Life in Heath Place

Heath Place at Carnton sits off Lewisburg Pike in Franklin’s 37064 zip code, within a short drive of both downtown Franklin and the Carnton historic site that gives this neighborhood part of its name. The location places residents at the intersection of Franklin’s history and its modern appeal: you are minutes from Main Street’s restaurants and the Saturday farmers market on the square, but the streets in Heath Place feel removed from the activity in the best possible way.

Streets in the community include Brandon Drive, Cabot Drive, Carnton Lane, Holmes Circle, and Kinnard Drive. The Lewisburg Pike corridor gives residents easy access to both I-65 for Nashville commuters and the broader Cool Springs employment and retail corridor. Nearby subdivisions include Battlefield, Downtown Franklin, Generals Retreat, Highland Gardens, Hunters Chase, and Yorktown.

Heath Place is one of the more tightly held communities in this part of 37064. With only 2 closed sales in the past 12 months, turnover is low, which reflects high owner satisfaction rather than a lack of buyer interest. When homes do come to market here, they move quickly and at prices that speak to the location’s enduring appeal.

The Homes in Heath Place

Heath Place was developed in the early-to-mid 1980s, with homes built between 1983 and 1986. The community offers traditional single-family detached homes on generous lots ranging from approximately 0.30 to 0.40 acres, which is meaningfully larger than most Franklin subdivisions built in the same era and far larger than the lots available in newer communities at comparable price points.

Homes offer four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with square footage ranging from 2,332 to 2,646 square feet. The construction style is classic early-1980s Franklin: traditional floor plans, brick exteriors, two-car garages, and established landscaping that would take decades to replicate on a new-construction lot. Price per square foot ran from $290 to $330 in the past 12 months, which is competitive for the Centennial High School zone in 37064.

The community’s HOA fee is minimal at $75 per year, essentially a token assessment that covers community standards without the overhead of a resort-style amenity package. For buyers comparing this neighborhood to newer subdivisions with $200-per-month HOA fees, the difference in carrying costs over a ten-year ownership period is substantial.

Amenities

Heath Place does not have a private pool or clubhouse, and the $75 annual HOA reflects that straightforward structure. The neighborhood’s amenity is its setting: the Carnton Plantation historic site is a short walk away, providing grounds, gardens, and a connection to Franklin’s Civil War history that is genuinely unique among 37064 subdivisions. Jim Warren Park is close by for athletic fields, playgrounds, and open green space.

Downtown Franklin’s restaurants, shops, and the Saturday farmers market are a short drive away via Lewisburg Pike, and the Harlinsdale Farm greenway provides accessible trail access for walking and cycling without leaving the immediate area. For families prioritizing outdoor space over private amenities, the combination of large lots, nearby parks, and historic grounds makes Heath Place a compelling alternative to newer communities with smaller lots and higher monthly fees.

Schools

Heath Place is zoned for Williamson County Schools. Closed sales data confirms a consistent assignment across all addresses in the community:

Elementary: Franklin Elementary School. Middle: Freedom Middle School. High School: Centennial High School.

School zoning should always be verified directly with Williamson County Schools for any specific address before making a purchase decision. Patrick can confirm the exact school assignment for any property in Heath Place.

Heath Place is a tightly held community with only 2 closed sales in the past 12 months. In a neighborhood this size, the agent who knows the street history, understands the lot premium, and has an existing buyer pipeline is the agent who gets the transaction done. Both sales in the most recent 12-month period were handled by a single brokerage, which is what happens in low-inventory communities without broad Compass network exposure. That is precisely the gap Nashville Home Guru fills: access to the largest referral and buyer network in Tennessee real estate.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume, and after merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold in Tennessee. That network means buyers relocating to Franklin from out of state, buyers moving within Middle Tennessee, and buyers coming from Compass agents across the country are all part of the pipeline working for any Heath Place seller. Access to Compass Private Exclusives means sellers can test the market quietly before going public.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy consistently produces measurable results. Homes pre-marketed through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction. On a Heath Place home at the $768,500 median, 2.9% more means approximately $22,300 in additional proceeds. Learn more about selling your home on your terms.

For buyers, the low annual turnover in Heath Place means waiting for a public listing often means missing it entirely. Getting into Patrick’s pre-market pipeline is the most reliable way to hear about Heath Place homes before they appear publicly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heath Place

Who typically buys in Heath Place Franklin TN?

Heath Place attracts buyers who want an established Franklin address with large lots, traditional 4-bedroom homes, and Centennial High School zoning without the premium pricing of newer Williamson County subdivisions. The $767,000 to $770,000 price range draws move-up buyers and families who value lot size and mature landscaping over square footage. The community’s proximity to the Carnton historic site and downtown Franklin also appeals to buyers who want a sense of place and history that newer subdivisions simply cannot offer.

What are home prices in Heath Place?

The two closed sales in the past 12 months were remarkably consistent, coming in at $767,000 and $770,000, for a median and average of $768,500. Price per square foot ranged from $290 to $330. The tight price clustering reflects the community’s uniform housing stock: all four-bedroom homes built in the same 1983-1986 window on similar lot sizes. Data from RealTracs MLS, rolling 12-month period.

Does Heath Place have an HOA and what does it cover?

Yes, but the fee is minimal. Heath Place carries an HOA of $75 per year, which is essentially a community maintenance fund rather than an amenity-driven assessment. There is no pool, clubhouse, or managed amenity complex. Buyers comparing this to newer subdivisions with $100 to $200 monthly HOA fees will find the difference meaningful over time. Always verify the current fee and what it covers during due diligence, as assessments can change.

What schools serve Heath Place in Franklin TN?

All Heath Place addresses in the MLS data are consistently zoned for Franklin Elementary School, Freedom Middle School, and Centennial High School, all part of Williamson County Schools. The school assignment is uniform across the community, which simplifies the decision for families. Always verify directly with Williamson County Schools for any specific address before purchasing.

When was Heath Place built and how many homes are in the community?

Heath Place was developed in the early 1980s, with homes built between 1983 and 1986. It is a small, fully built-out community. Streets include Brandon Drive, Cabot Drive, Carnton Lane, Holmes Circle, and Kinnard Drive. The community’s modest size and low annual turnover, with only 2 closed sales in the past 12 months, reflect the high retention typical of established Franklin neighborhoods where owners hold long-term.

How large are the lots in Heath Place?

Lots in Heath Place range from approximately 0.30 to 0.40 acres, which is significantly larger than the 0.10 to 0.20 acre lots common in newer Franklin subdivisions built in the same price range. For buyers who want usable outdoor space, room for a pool, or simply privacy from neighbors, the lot sizes here are a genuine differentiator that the data confirms but that most buyers underestimate until they tour the community in person.

Why should I work with Nashville Home Guru to buy or sell in Heath Place?

What is my Heath Place home worth right now?

With only 2 closed sales in the past 12 months at $767,000 and $770,000, the comparable sale pool is thin and automated estimates are particularly unreliable here. The actual value of your specific home depends on lot position, condition, updates, and how your home compares to the two recent comps at the street level. Get a starting estimate using the link below, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a precise analysis grounded in current Franklin 37064 market dynamics.

I have owned my Heath Place home for many years and I am considering selling. Where do I start?

The most important first step for a long-term Heath Place owner is a realistic understanding of today’s market, not the price your neighbor mentioned two years ago. With only 2 closed sales in the past 12 months, pricing errors are highly visible and hard to recover from once a listing goes public. The Compass Private Exclusive program lets you test your price with a qualified buyer audience before any public clock starts. That is particularly valuable in a community this size, where a mispriced listing can sit publicly for months before you get honest feedback. Patrick has walked long-term Franklin homeowners through this process many times. The conversation costs nothing. Call 615-682-1718 before you set a price or sign with anyone.
