Location and Daily Life in Summerlake

Summerlake is a small, established single-family community in Hendersonville’s 37075 zip code, located off Walton Ferry Road. The homes are built along Summerlake Place. The Walton Ferry setting is one of the more convenient parts of Hendersonville, close to Old Hickory Lake and its marinas and parks, everyday shopping and services, and a short drive to Vietnam Veterans Boulevard for the commute toward Nashville or Gallatin.

Summerlake appeals to buyers who want an affordable, established home in a central Hendersonville location near the lake. With a low homeowners association fee and a settled, mature feel, the community is a natural fit for first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone who values proximity to the water and the heart of the city without a new-construction price tag.

The Homes

Summerlake dates to the late 1980s, and the homes reflect a comfortable, right-sized design. Floor plans here are typically in the range of about 1,100 square feet, with three bedrooms and two full baths, and a low monthly homeowners association fee that helps keep the community tidy. Styles are practical and easy to own, and many homes have been updated by their owners over the years, so condition ranges from original to refreshed.

Because Summerlake is a small, established neighborhood, homes here do not come up for sale often. That scarcity is part of the appeal for buyers who want an affordable, low-maintenance home near Old Hickory Lake, and it means that when a home does list, it tends to attract attention quickly.
