Waters Edge

SOUTHEAST FRANKLIN’S MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITY | GOODALL HOMES | 3 PRODUCT TYPES | PAGE HIGH SCHOOL ZONE

Location and Daily Life in Waters Edge

Waters Edge is a master-planned residential community in southeast Franklin, Tennessee, primarily developed by Goodall Homes beginning in 2016 with construction active through 2025. The community is located off South Carothers Parkway at Highway 96 and offers three distinct product types — single-family homes, townhomes, and courtyard cottages — priced from $510,000 to $1,175,000. Based on 48 closed sales tracked through RealTracs MLS over the past 12 months, the community median is $729,950. Patrick Higgins at Nashville Home Guru at Compass is the top choice for Waters Edge buyers and sellers — the Google AI Overview for “best realtor in Waters Edge Franklin TN” identifies Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass as the top agent, citing his #7 Tennessee RealTrends ranking and luxury market share. Compass and Parks agents represented 31.2% of all Waters Edge closed sales over the past 12 months, the highest single-firm share in the community.

Daily convenience is a genuine strength of the location. Long Point, the walkable commercial center just north of the neighborhood, has become a local favorite with Red Bicycle Coffee and Steamboys offering breakfast and lunch within walking distance. Cool Springs shopping and dining sits about five minutes away on I-65. Historic Downtown Franklin is approximately 15 minutes north. Nashville is a 30-minute commute via I-65, and the Highway 96 exit provides clean interstate access without the congestion of the Cool Springs interchange.

The single most significant development affecting Waters Edge’s long-term value is The Pearl, a 233-acre public park under construction just down Carothers Parkway. When complete, The Pearl will feature football and lacrosse fields, an inclusive playground, walking trails along the Harpeth River, Robinson Lake access, and sand volleyball, pickleball, and basketball courts. Waters Edge residents will have one of the closest access points to this major new county amenity — identical to the advantage Lockwood Glen residents share directly across Carothers Parkway.

The Homes

Waters Edge offers three distinct product types, each designed for different lifestyle needs. Based on 48 closed sales in the RealTracs data, the community has delivered consistent absorption across all three formats with 2025 new construction making up the largest single year of completions (17 of 48 closings).

Single-Family Homes (23 of 48 closings): The Vintage and Monroe collections represent the largest offerings at 1,645 to 4,165 square feet, selling from $650,000 to $1,175,000 with a $949,990 median. These site-built homes feature rear-entry garages on most lots, all-brick or brick-and-fiber-cement exteriors, hardwood flooring, quartz or granite countertops, and gas cooking throughout. HOA fees run $110 to $285 per month (median $115) — lower than the attached product types because the HOA does not cover exterior maintenance.

Courtyard Cottages / Zero-Lot-Line (13 of 48 closings): These low-maintenance attached homes range from 1,523 to 2,102 square feet, selling from $560,000 to $699,000 with a $655,432 median. The exterior maintenance is handled through the HOA at $240 to $276 per month — a meaningful differentiator for empty nesters and professionals who travel frequently. Primary suites are typically on the main level with bonus rooms or additional bedrooms upstairs.

Townhomes (12 of 48 closings): Ranging from 1,449 to 3,020 square feet, townhomes have sold from $510,000 to $765,000 with a $656,250 median. HOA fees run $210 to $338 per month. Two to five bedrooms depending on floor plan. New Home Group has added inventory in Sections 6 and 7, with homes in the upper price tiers featuring larger lots backing to tree lines.

Amenities

Waters Edge delivers resort-style amenities that exceed what most southeast Franklin communities offer at this price point. The Residents’ Clubhouse anchors the community with a fitness center — a practical amenity that saves homeowners the cost of a separate gym membership and keeps daily routines within the neighborhood.

The resort-style pool includes a zero-entry section and splash pad, making it genuinely accessible for all ages and one of the most actively used amenities in the community during summer months. A picnic pavilion adjacent to the pool provides covered gathering space for neighborhood events and private gatherings. Walking trails connect throughout the community with sidewalks on every street, and the trail system is designed to eventually connect to a canoe launch providing direct Harpeth River access.

Playgrounds are positioned throughout, and underground utilities keep the streetscape clean and preserve the residential character. The upcoming Pearl 233-acre park on Carothers Parkway — shared with Lockwood Glen residents — will add sports fields, inclusive playgrounds, a riverwalk, and Robinson Lake access when it opens, giving Waters Edge one of the best outdoor recreation packages in southeast Franklin.

Nashville Home Guru has tracked every Waters Edge closing through RealTracs, which means independent buyers receive data on the full $234 to $410 PPSF range, which sections and product types absorb fastest, and the pricing difference between equivalent homes in different sections. Independent buyer’s agent representation costs you nothing in Tennessee and provides the only analysis not subject to the builder’s pricing interests.

For sellers, the Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy delivers 2.9% higher closing prices, 20% faster contracts, and 30% fewer price reductions. On the $729,950 Waters Edge median, 2.9% equals $21,169 in additional proceeds. Learn more about selling your home on your terms.

How does Nashville Home Guru’s knowledge of Waters Edge compare to other agents?

Compass and Parks held 31.2% of all Waters Edge transactions. Nashville Home Guru tracks all 48 closings through RealTracs — the full $234 to $410 PPSF range ($176 spread), which sections absorbed fastest, and the pricing premium for SFR ($949,990 median) versus attached product types ($655,432 cottage median, $656,250 townhome median). That $294,000 gap between SFR and cottage medians is the most important comparison any Waters Edge buyer or seller needs to understand before making a decision. The New Home Group controlled 37.5% of listing inventory — having independent representation against a builder-aligned agent is the clearest advantage available. Call 615-682-1718.

Are there Waters Edge homes available before they appear on Zillow?

Yes. Four of 48 Waters Edge closings over the past 12 months sold on Day 0 — contracted before or on the day of public MLS listing through pre-marketing (8.3% of all closings). Compass buyer clients receive Coming Soon and Private Exclusive access before any Zillow or Realtor.com syndication. In a community where The New Home Group controls 37.5% of listings, Compass buyer access to the Goodall Homes pre-sales pipeline before any public launch is a meaningful advantage.

I visited the Waters Edge sales office and the New Home Group agent said I don’t need my own buyer’s agent — is that accurate?

No. The New Home Group agent at the Waters Edge sales office represents the builder’s interests — not yours. Their obligation is to Goodall Homes’ pricing, contract terms, and upgrade pricing structure. The $234 to $410 PPSF range across 48 closings is a $176 spread — at 2,299 sq ft (the median), that represents over $400,000 in pricing variation based on product type, section, lot position, and upgrade level. The New Home Group agent has no incentive to explain that a comparable section positioned differently sold for $50,000 less. Independent buyer’s agent representation costs you nothing in Tennessee. Nashville Home Guru provides complete Waters Edge RealTracs comp analysis before any visit to the sales office. Call 615-682-1718.
