Living in Drakes Pointe, Hendersonville, TN: Custom Homes, Prices, HOA and Schools

Drakes Pointe is a single-family subdivision off Drakes Creek Road in Hendersonville, Tennessee (Sumner County). It is a smaller, established community of larger custom homes — the kind of established, upper-end pocket where a house comes to market only every so often rather than by the dozen. Streets inside the neighborhood include Gadwall Circle, Harlequin Boulevard and Pintail Place.

The community dates back to about 2006 and continued to build out over roughly a decade-plus, so it grew in stages rather than in one single phase. Neighborhoods.com lists the homes' construction years spanning 2007 to 2019, which is consistent with that gradual build-out.

Homes and home styles

Drakes Pointe is consistently described across real-estate aggregators as an upscale, single-family neighborhood of larger custom homes, with many listings noting all-brick construction. Home sizes run a wide band — from 1,923 up to 8,241 square feet, with 3 to 6 bedrooms and 2 to 7 bathrooms, per neighborhoods.com. That range is typical of a custom subdivision where each home was built to its own plan rather than to a handful of repeated production floor plans.

Prices: treat these as dated ranges, not today's number

Because Drakes Pointe is small, only a couple of homes are typically on the market at once, so any single snapshot swings a lot. Use the figures below as a band and ask us to pull live comps before you anchor on a price:

• •neighborhoods.com: median sale price $1,075,000, average about $245/sq ft, with closed prices in the $850,000–$1,300,000 range.
• •nashvillehome.guru (Aug 23, 2025): 2 active homes averaging $1,219,950 — low $939,900, high $1,500,000 — at roughly $246/sq ft.
• •As of July 1, 2026: active listings were around $795,000–$800,000, at roughly $244/sq ft.

Notice how the price/sq ft holds fairly steady (around $244–$246) even as the headline prices move — that consistency reflects home size and finish differences more than a shift in the market. We don't forecast where prices go from here; no one can reliably do that. What we can do is pull current, address-specific comparable sales so your offer or list price is grounded in live data.

Lots, HOA and community

Lots here are modest rather than acreage estates: neighborhoods.com lists lot sizes in the 0-to-1-acre range, and two current active listings on Gadwall Circle (1067 and 1072) each show 0.36 acre. That means larger custom homes on right-sized, lower-maintenance lots — a different feel than a rural or lake-lot property.

The homeowners association dues are listed in the $900–$1,000 range (neighborhoods.com). We are not going to guess what those dues cover or list amenities that aren't documented — public sources don't confirm a pool, clubhouse or gated entry for Drakes Pointe. Before you write an offer, review the HOA's recorded declaration and current budget so you know exactly what the dues include and what the covenants require; we can request those documents for you.

Location and commute

Drakes Pointe sits off Drakes Creek Road in the eastern part of Hendersonville, near Drakes Creek and Old Hickory Lake — one of Hendersonville's defining features. The city is a Sumner County suburb on the northeast side of the Nashville metro, which puts jobs, the airport and downtown within a normal suburban commute; we can map a precise door-to-door drive time from a specific address to your workplace.

Public outdoor amenities are close by. The Drakes Creek Greenway, a roughly 3.9-mile out-and-back trail per AllTrails, runs along Drakes Creek and Old Hickory Lake in this part of Hendersonville, and Drakes Creek Park is nearby. Important distinction: these are public amenities in the area, not confirmed community-owned or deeded access for Drakes Pointe residents. Treat them as 'what's nearby,' and verify any private lake or greenway access for a specific lot before relying on it.

Schools: Sumner County zoning is address-specific

We won't assert a single set of assigned schools for Drakes Pointe, because public sources disagree and Sumner County attendance zones are assigned by address and can change. Different real-estate sites list three different school sets for this neighborhood — one lists Jack Anderson Elementary, Knox Doss Middle and Station Camp High; another lists Dr. William Burrus Elementary at Drakes Creek, Knox Doss Middle at Drakes Creek and Beech High; and another references a Station Camp Elementary cluster. That spread is exactly why you should verify by the specific house, not by the neighborhood name.

To confirm the schools zoned to a given Drakes Pointe address, use the Sumner County Schools zoning lookup and the Tennessee Department of Education (tn.gov/education) for official school data. Families who want to research schools themselves can also use GreatSchools. We're glad to pull the current assigned elementary, middle and high school for any exact address you're considering — just send us the address.

An honest buyer's read

Here is the straight version of what Drakes Pointe is and isn't, so you can decide if it fits:

• •It fits if you want a larger, custom, often all-brick home in an established Hendersonville setting near Old Hickory Lake, on a manageable lot rather than acreage, generally in the roughly $800K–$1.3M+ band depending on the home.
• •It's a trade-off if you want new construction or a wide selection — this is a small, built-out community, so inventory is thin and you may wait for the right listing.
• •It's a trade-off if you want big acreage or private, deeded lake or greenway access — lots here are modest (around a third of an acre on recent listings) and no source confirms community-owned lake or trail access.
• •Budget the HOA into your monthly math — dues in the $900–$1,000 range are a real line item; confirm the exact figure and what it covers in the HOA documents.

Because it's a low-turnover neighborhood, timing and comps matter more than usual. The way to decide well is to see the specific home, get the address-specific school zoning and HOA documents, and price against live comparable sales — not against a dated online median.
