Trace at Alexandria closed 6 homes in the past 12 months with a median of $449,950. No HOA, built between 1999 and 2003, Beech zone schools. Prices have held steady while the rest of Hendersonville kept pushing higher. Here is what that means for buyers and sellers in 2026.
The most common phrase in Trace at Alexandria listing descriptions is "no HOA." It shows up in nearly every one. That detail is not accidental, and in a Hendersonville market where a growing share of new construction comes with $100 to $300 a month in association fees, a no-HOA neighborhood in the $440,000 to $520,000 range is increasingly hard to find. Six homes closed here in the rolling 12-month period through May 2026, with a median of $449,950 and a price spread that runs from $439,900 to $519,400. The range reflects real variation in lot size, condition, and renovations rather than any underlying instability in the neighborhood.
Year over year, prices in Trace at Alexandria are holding flat to slightly positive. The prior 12-month median was $445,000. Today it sits at $449,950, a gain of about $4,950 or 1.1%. That kind of stability in a rising market actually signals something useful: this neighborhood is priced on fundamentals, not speculation. If you want help understanding how that stability plays into your specific situation, Ryan Beals can pull the closed comparables for your target street and walk you through what the data actually means at your price point.
Location and Daily Life in Trace at Alexandria
Trace at Alexandria sits in the 37075 zip code in Hendersonville TN, on the west side of the city near Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (Hwy 386). The primary access is Drakes Creek Road, which connects directly to 386. From the neighborhood entrance, you can reach the 386 on-ramp in under five minutes. Most mornings the drive to downtown Nashville runs 40 to 50 minutes depending on where you are headed and when you leave.
The commute position here is better than most of Hendersonville's east-side neighborhoods. The Long Hollow Pike and Hwy 386 intersection at 109 creates the heaviest evening backup for buyers coming from Gallatin, but Trace at Alexandria is west of that friction point. Employers that draw from this area include Vanderbilt Medical Center, HCA Nashville, and the growing healthcare and professional services employers along the 386 and Highway 109 corridor.
The everyday convenience is genuine. Target, Kroger, Costco, Starbucks, and the Glenbrook Shopping Center are all within three to five minutes. Hendersonville Medical Center is close. Old Hickory Lake is less than ten minutes away. Bledsoe Creek State Park offers trail access and picnic areas for families who want outdoor options without the waterfront price tag.
The Homes at Trace at Alexandria
Homes in Trace at Alexandria were built between 1998 and 2004, which puts most of the housing stock at that sweet spot where construction is solid, lots are generous, and floor plans are well-proportioned. Most homes sit on lots ranging from roughly a third of an acre to over half an acre. When you compare what $445,000 buys here versus newer construction at the same price point, the land is often double.
Square footage in the rolling 12-month closed sales ran from 1,771 to 2,600 square feet, with the larger homes typically featuring a bonus room over the garage that functions as a fourth bedroom, home office, or flex space. Construction is a mix of all-brick and partial-brick with vinyl siding. Fireplaces are common, two-car attached garages are standard, and several homes have screened patios, four-season rooms, or extended deck setups that add real outdoor living space.
Price per square foot ranged from $197 to $248 in the past 12 months. That spread reflects condition and renovation more than location. Homes at the lower end of the range are typically original condition with dated finishes. The ones at the upper end have been renovated, and in several cases, buyers paid a premium for it immediately. The gap also reflects lot size and extra features: a $519,400 sale on a 0.58-acre cul-de-sac lot with premium windows and a koi pond is a different purchase than a $440,000 sale on a standard lot in original condition.

Getting Around Trace at Alexandria
Drakes Creek Road is the main connector to Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (Hwy 386), and from the neighborhood entrance you reach the 386 on-ramp in under five minutes. That gives you a direct line toward both Gallatin and Nashville. Most mornings the drive to downtown Nashville runs 45 to 55 minutes from this part of Hendersonville. If you work in the Brentwood or Cool Springs corridor, budget around an hour.
The Long Hollow Pike and Hwy 386 intersection at Highway 109 is the primary chokepoint for evening commuters from the Gallatin direction, but Trace at Alexandria sits west of that interchange. Buyers who have been comparing east-side Gallatin neighborhoods and west-side Hendersonville options often find the commute math favors Trace at Alexandria once they map both against their actual workplace. Major employers in this draw area include Vanderbilt Medical Center, HCA Nashville, the Amazon distribution corridor near Lebanon, and a growing cluster of healthcare and professional services employers along the 386 and 109 corridor.
Amenities and Neighborhood Feel
Trace at Alexandria has no community amenities: no pool, no clubhouse, no maintained common areas. That is the direct trade-off for no HOA. For some buyers, that is exactly the point. The lots are large enough that the backyard is the amenity. Multiple closed sales in the past 12 months highlighted screened patios, fenced yards, and extended deck setups as key features. One home sold with a four-seasons room and a 390-square-foot screened patio. Another had a koi pond and private landscaped backyard on a 0.58-acre lot.
The retail and dining corridor along Vietnam Veterans Boulevard has grown substantially over the past decade. Target, Kroger, Costco, and Starbucks are all within five minutes of the neighborhood entrance. Old Hickory Lake is close. Bledsoe Creek State Park offers trail access and picnic areas. For buyers who want the feel of an established residential neighborhood close to everything, without the monthly fee, Trace at Alexandria delivers on that combination consistently.
Schools Serving Trace at Alexandria
Every home in the rolling 12-month dataset maps to the same school zone: Dr. William Burrus Elementary at Drakes Creek for elementary, Knox Doss Middle School at Drakes Creek for middle school, and Beech Senior High School. Burrus Elementary is an award-winning STEM school, which listing agents mentioned specifically in several descriptions. That recognition matters for families who are comparing neighborhoods and want to know which elementary assignments carry real value beyond the marketing language.
The Beech zone assignment is distinct from the Station Camp and Liberty Creek zones in eastern Gallatin and northern Hendersonville. If your search is zone-driven, Trace at Alexandria sits firmly in Beech, and at a price point that typically runs below the premium neighborhoods in the Station Camp corridor. Verify current zone assignments directly with Hendersonville City Schools before making a decision, because school zone boundaries do shift.
Why Work with Ryan Beals
I grew up in Sumner County and have watched Hendersonville develop in real time. Trace at Alexandria is the kind of neighborhood that buyers from outside the area walk into and immediately understand: real lots, established trees, no HOA fee, and homes that have been maintained by long-term owners. What they sometimes miss is how much variation exists inside those numbers, and how quickly condition and updates can move the price per square foot by $50 or more.
My approach with buyers and sellers in this neighborhood is the same one I use across Sumner County: data first, no pressure. For sellers, that means knowing exactly which recent closed sales are actual comps and which ones are outliers, and building a list price that accounts for what is on the market now. For buyers, it means understanding what the $449,950 median actually represents before you write an offer. If you want that context, call or text me at 629-263-0248 and I will pull the closed data for your specific situation before your first tour.

Many homes have gas fireplaces, screened patios, or extended deck setups.
How many homes have sold in Trace at Alexandria recently?
Six homes closed in the rolling 12-month period through May 2026. That volume reflects a stable, established neighborhood where turnover is low but not absent. The prior 12-month period saw 7 closed sales at a median of $445,000, putting the year-over-year change at roughly +1.1%. The neighborhood is not a high-churn market, which tends to suit long-term buyers well.
How long does it typically take to sell a home in Trace at Alexandria?
Days on market in the recent closed sales varied widely, from 0 to 86 days. Well-priced homes in good condition moved quickly. Homes that sat longer typically had pricing or condition factors that needed adjustment. A realistic pricing strategy based on actual comps in the neighborhood is the most important factor in reducing time on market here.
Is Trace at Alexandria a good fit for families who want space and no HOA in Hendersonville TN?
It is one of the better options in the 37075 zip code for buyers who specifically want that combination. Lot sizes are larger than most newer communities at this price point, the Beech zone school assignment includes an award-winning STEM elementary, and the absence of an HOA gives owners more flexibility with the property. Families who are comparing against newer no-HOA options in eastern Gallatin will find the price points are competitive and the commute position is actually better for many Nashville-direction employers.
How does Ryan Beals approach buying or selling in Trace at Alexandria?
Ryan uses closed sale data from RealTracs MLS as the starting point for every buyer and seller consultation in this neighborhood. For the past 12 months, that means 6 closed sales with a median of $449,950 and a price-per-square-foot range of $197 to $248. The gap between those two ends of the range is where most of the real work happens: understanding which sales are true comps for your specific home, and which ones are outliers because of condition, lot size, or updates. Ryan grew up in Sumner County and has worked both sides of this market, which means he can give you a realistic picture of what your home would sell for today, or what you are likely to pay for a given property, before you commit to a price.

What is my Trace at Alexandria home worth in today's market?
Automated tools like Zestimate are notoriously unreliable in neighborhoods with low transaction volume. With only 6 closed sales in the past 12 months in Trace at Alexandria, a Zestimate can easily be off by $30,000 to $50,000 in either direction depending on which comps the algorithm pulls and how it weights condition. An accurate valuation requires looking at the actual closed sales, understanding which ones are true comps for your specific home, and accounting for your lot size, updates, and current condition. You can get an accurate valuation directly from Ryan, or text him at 629-263-0248 to get a market analysis within the hour.
How does Trace at Alexandria compare to newer Hendersonville neighborhoods at the same price?
Newer construction in the $440,000 to $520,000 range in Hendersonville almost always comes with an HOA, smaller lots, and less mature landscaping. Trace at Alexandria trades newer finishes for larger lots, no monthly fees, and established tree coverage. For buyers who have been touring newer communities and noticed that the lot sizes feel compressed, Trace at Alexandria is worth comparing directly. The price per square foot is competitive, and the land is genuinely more generous.
