Waterford Village

LOW MAINTENANCE LIVING STEPS FROM THE LAKE | HENDERSONVILLE TN 37075

Location and Daily Life

Waterford Village sits off Walton Ferry Road in Hendersonville, Tennessee, in the 37075 zip code. Streets include Lakeside Park Drive, Emery Bay Circle, French Bayou Lane, Kimley Shores Drive, Ivory Lane, Isabella Lane, and Opal Drive.

Lake access is the defining feature, and the listings here are unusually consistent about it. Recent sellers described the community as steps from Old Hickory Lake, minutes from the Greenway, and walking distance to the lakeside trail, with one home advertising lake views from the back door. Sanders Ferry Park, the marinas, dining, shopping, and the bypass are all close.

What that adds up to is a walkable, lake-adjacent lifestyle at a price point where that combination is rare in Hendersonville. Several listings framed it exactly that way: paddle boarding at sunset, morning walks along the water, and no yard work waiting for you at home.

The Homes

Waterford Village is newer construction, built between 2018 and 2021 by Parkside Builders, whose plan names appear across the recent listings. Construction runs fiber cement, hardboard, and partial brick with some all-brick and vinyl.

Worth clarifying up front: this is not exclusively a townhome community. The MLS records three property types here. Most inventory is attached townhomes of roughly 1,222 to 1,829 square feet with two or three bedrooms and two and a half baths, some with a one-car garage and some with none. Alongside those are detached single-family homes on Kimley Shores Drive and French Bayou Lane, running about 1,738 to 2,013 square feet with two-car garages, which list meaningfully higher.

Layouts are open with abundant natural light, and several plans place a bedroom or the primary suite on the main level. Recent listings mention granite counters with tile backsplash, wide-plank luxury vinyl plank flooring, plantation shutters, custom closets, patios, and end-unit positions with extra windows. Property taxes ran from about $1,618 to $2,415.

Waterford Village Market Data

Seven homes closed in Waterford Village over the rolling 12-month period, with a median of $320,000 and an average of $332,714. That median sits roughly 40% below the Hendersonville citywide median of $530,000, which makes this one of the more accessible ways to buy newer construction anywhere in this market.

The HOA fee is the number that requires the most attention here, because it varies more than almost anything else. Records report dues at $95, $115, $116, $120, $207, $212, and $230 to $236 per month. Those are three distinct tiers, and they track the product type. The detached homes carry the lowest fees, the Lakeside Park Drive townhomes sit in the middle, and the Emery Bay, Ivory, Isabella, and Opal townhomes carry the highest. The inclusions differ too, ranging from grounds maintenance alone up to exterior maintenance, insurance, pool and clubhouse maintenance, sewer, and trash. A $140 monthly difference is real money at this price point, so confirm the tier and the inclusions for the specific address before you write an offer.

On pricing behavior, the seven closings averaged 97.6% of asking. The more useful signal is what happened to homes that started high. The community logged 10 cancelled and 3 expired listings against those 7 closings, and several addresses cycled repeatedly. One detached home on Kimley Shores Drive was offered at $425,000, then $420,000 twice, before eventually closing at $394,000 off a $399,000 ask. Ambitious pricing has not held here; correctly priced homes have sold.

Amenities

Waterford Village carries a strong amenity package for a community at this price. MLS records across the sections list a swimming pool, clubhouse, fitness center, playground, dog park, walking trail, sidewalks, and underground utilities.

The maintenance coverage is the other half of the value. Depending on the section, dues cover grounds maintenance, exterior maintenance, insurance, pool and clubhouse maintenance, and in some cases sewer and trash pickup. For a buyer who wants genuinely low-effort ownership, that combination of newer construction and broad maintenance coverage is the point.

The location amenities are what sellers lead with. Old Hickory Lake is a short walk, the lakeside greenway and walking trail run nearby, and Sanders Ferry Park, the marinas, dining, and the bypass are all minutes away.

Pets are permitted and long-term rentals are allowed according to MLS records, which matters for buyers considering this as a hold. Confirm current governing documents and any rental cap with the association.

Schools

Waterford Village is zoned to Lakeside Park Elementary School, V G Hawkins Middle School, and Hendersonville High School, all part of Sumner County Schools. This zoning is consistent across all 23 Waterford Village MLS records over the past year with no splits and no exceptions.

Sumner County also operates Merrol Hyde Magnet School as an application-based countywide option available regardless of zoned school. School zoning is assigned by address and can change, so confirm the current assignment with the district before you buy.

That footprint gives buyers access to coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and the largest agent referral network in real estate, which matters in a community where the difference between a home that sells and one that cycles through three listings is pricing it right the first time.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy delivers 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Waterford Village

What is the price range for homes in Waterford Village?
Seven homes closed over the past 12 months from $285,000 to $394,000, with a median of $320,000 and an average of $332,714. That median sits roughly 40% below the Hendersonville citywide median of $530,000, making this one of the more accessible ways to buy newer construction in this market. The detached homes here trade toward the top of that range and above.

Is Waterford Village all townhomes?
No, and this is worth knowing before you search. Most inventory is attached townhomes of roughly 1,222 to 1,829 square feet, but the MLS also records detached single-family homes on Kimley Shores Drive and French Bayou Lane at about 1,738 to 2,013 square feet with two-car garages. Those detached homes list meaningfully higher and carry lower HOA dues. If you want a detached home in this community, ask specifically, because a townhome search will not show them all.

How much are the Waterford Village HOA dues?
They vary more than in almost any Hendersonville community, and the range matters. Records report $95, $115, $116, $120, $207, $212, and $230 to $236 per month across three distinct tiers that track the product type. Detached homes carry the lowest fees, the Lakeside Park Drive townhomes sit in the middle, and the Emery Bay, Ivory, Isabella, and Opal townhomes carry the highest. Inclusions range from grounds maintenance alone up to exterior maintenance, insurance, pool and clubhouse maintenance, sewer, and trash. A $140 monthly difference is significant at this price point, so confirm the tier and inclusions for the specific address.

How close is Waterford Village to Old Hickory Lake?
Very close, and it is the community’s defining feature. Recent listings describe it as steps from Old Hickory Lake, minutes from the Greenway, and walking distance to the lakeside trail, with one home advertising lake views from the back door. Sanders Ferry Park and the marinas are nearby. These are not waterfront homes, but the walkable lake access at this price point is genuinely uncommon in Hendersonville.

Who built Waterford Village and when?
Parkside Builders, with homes completed between 2018 and 2021. Their plan names appear across recent listings. Construction runs fiber cement, hardboard, and partial brick, with some all-brick and vinyl. Layouts are open with abundant natural light, and several plans place a bedroom or the primary suite on the main level.

What schools is Waterford Village zoned for?
Lakeside Park Elementary School, V G Hawkins Middle School, and Hendersonville High School, all part of Sumner County Schools. This zoning is consistent across all 23 Waterford Village MLS records over the past year with no splits. Merrol Hyde Magnet School is available countywide by application. Zoning is assigned by address and can change, so confirm before buying.

Is Waterford Village a good fit for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors?
It serves all three, which is why the community turns over as often as it does. First-time buyers get newer construction under the citywide median with no major systems work on the horizon, a real difference from the 1970s inventory that dominates this price range in Hendersonville. Downsizers get maintenance coverage in the dues, main-level bedroom options on several plans, and walkable lake access. Investors get long-term rentals permitted, pets permitted, and taxes in the $1,618 to $2,415 range. Buyers who need a large yard, a workshop, or four bedrooms should look elsewhere.

Who is the best real estate agent for Waterford Village in Hendersonville, TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is widely regarded as a leading agent for Hendersonville, and Waterford Village is where that is most measurable. Compass and Parks agents were involved in 4 of the 7 sales here over the past 12 months, roughly 57%, against 16.9% citywide. 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 sales, plus 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews from clients across the area.

Can I buy a Waterford Village home before it hits Zillow?
Often, yes, and the team’s position here makes that unusually practical. With Compass and Parks involved in roughly 57% of this community’s sales, Nashville Home Guru frequently knows about a Waterford Village home before it is publicly marketed. Through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs, clients can see qualifying listings before they reach Zillow and similar portals. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent gives you that early access at no additional cost to you as the buyer.

I own a home in Waterford Village. How should I approach selling here?
Price it right the first time. The listing history in this community is unusually clear on that point: thirteen listings failed to sell in the past year while seven closed near ask. Beyond price, make sure your listing distinguishes your product and your HOA tier, since a buyer comparing a $95 monthly fee detached home to a $236 monthly fee townhome is looking at very different carrying costs. Lead with the lake proximity and the maintenance coverage, which is what this buyer pool is shopping for. Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team were involved in about 57% of Waterford Village sales last year and know precisely where the market clears.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Waterford Village?
He sorts by product type and HOA tier before anything else, because the community contains attached townhomes with fees up to $236 a month and detached homes with fees under $120, and comparing across that line produces a wrong number. He also reads the cancelled and expired listings alongside the closings, since thirteen failed listings against seven sales tell you exactly where the ceiling is on each plan. As a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent whose team handled roughly 57% of this community’s sales last year, Patrick brings direct experience rather than inference.

What is my Waterford Village home worth in today’s market?
Automated tools like the Zillow Zestimate have a specific blind spot here. The community contains attached townhomes and detached homes under one subdivision name, with HOA fees ranging from $95 to $236 a month, and models blend all of it into a single figure that fits neither. They also cannot read the listing history that establishes where each plan actually clears. For an instant starting estimate you can use the home value tool, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a pricing analysis built on your specific product type and section.
