River Crest Donelson TN | 1998 Brick Homes, $490K to $725K

River Crest: A 1998 Cul-de-Sac on Rivercrest Way

River Crest is Rivercrest Way, a short cul-de-sac of late-1990s all-brick houses off Lebanon Pike, next to Donelson Downs on the north side of Donelson. Two houses sold in the last three years, both built in 1998, both with the primary bedroom on the main floor and a two-car garage.

Two sales do not make a price range, and this page does not pretend they do. The May 2024 sale was 2,685 square feet at $490,000; the August 2025 sale was 3,569 square feet, 1,070 of it a finished basement, at $725,000. The finished lower level is most of the difference.

What the Two River Crest Sales Show

The smaller house went under contract in 4 days, $5,000 under its asking price. The larger one listed at $769,900, reduced, and closed at $725,000 after 103 days. Association dues were $368 to $384 a year.
