Seven homes closed in Trace at Alexandria in the past 12 months at a $487,500 median, and none of them listed an HOA fee. Per square foot, they sold almost exactly in line with other Beech zone homes of the same age.

Trace at Alexandria is a small, established subdivision on the west side of Hendersonville (ZIP 37075), in the Drakes Creek Road area, with homes built from 1998 to 2003 along Braxton Lane, Calloway Lane, Camden Court, Donovan Court and Chatsworth Court. From October 30, 2025, through October 29, 2026, 7 homes closed here at a median of $487,500 and $213.96 per square foot. None of the seven listed an HOA fee in MLS.

I'm Ryan Beals, born and raised in Gallatin and Hendersonville. This post walks through every recent Trace at Alexandria sale, what no HOA does and does not mean, how the neighborhood stacks up against other Beech zone homes of the same age, and what changed from a year ago.

One note on the name. MLS records spell it Trace at Alexandrea, and a few listings call it Alexandria Trace, so search all three versions. Alexandrea Place, just to the north, is a separate and slightly older subdivision built in the late 1990s, and its sales are not counted here.

What Trace at Alexandria Homes Sold For

The seven sales ran from $439,900 to $550,000. Three closed above $500,000, three closed below $460,000, and the median sat at $487,500. Homes ranged from 1,807 to 2,600 square feet with a median of 2,302, six of the seven had three bedrooms, and lots ran from 0.36 to 0.75 acre, with most near 0.40.

Size did not decide price here. The top sale, a renovated all-brick home of 2,062 square feet, closed at $550,000, or $266.73 per square foot. The largest home, at 2,600 square feet, closed at $513,000, or $197.31 per foot, and the smallest, at 1,807 square feet, brought $440,000, or $243.50 per foot. In a neighborhood where every home is from the same few years, the roof, HVAC, windows, kitchen and flooring do most of the pricing.

No HOA in Trace at Alexandria: What It Means for Owners

None of the seven recent sales listed an HOA fee, and four of the seven listings called out no HOA in their remarks. No dues is the obvious benefit. The trade-off is that there is no association-run pool or clubhouse to use and no architectural review keeping exteriors uniform, so each owner sets their own standard. For how dues compare across the city, see our Hendersonville HOA fees by neighborhood and the hidden costs of buying in Hendersonville.

The most common worry I hear about a no-HOA neighborhood is that a neighbor could do anything with their lot, and the honest answer starts with the paperwork rather than the street. No HOA does not always mean no rules, because some subdivisions still carry recorded restrictions, so I have buyers read whatever is recorded on the lot during the inspection period, not after closing. Then we walk the street and look at how owners actually keep their homes, because in an established neighborhood that tells you more than any document. Buyers who do both usually stop worrying about the missing association and start focusing on the house itself.

If no HOA is high on your list, Trace at Alexandria has company on this side of town: Rolling Acres, Colonial Acres, Delray Park and Cumberland Place are all established no-HOA neighborhoods.

How Trace at Alexandria Compares to Other Beech Zone Homes

The fair comparison is not the Hendersonville median. It is other resale homes of the same age in the same high school zone. Across Hendersonville, 53 resale site-built homes zoned for Beech High and built from 1995 to 2005 closed at a $519,400 median, 2,451 square feet and $215.19 per square foot.

Trace at Alexandria's median was $31,900 lower, but its homes were 149 square feet smaller, and per foot the two were nearly identical, $213.96 against $215.19. Narrow the comparison to similar-size Beech zone homes of 1,750 to 2,650 square feet and those 28 sales closed at $474,950 and $214.61 per foot. So the lower median reflects smaller homes, not a discount, and what Trace at Alexandria adds at the same price per foot is no HOA.

What Changed From a Year Ago

A year ago, in the 12 months before this window, only four Trace at Alexandria homes closed, at a $483,000 median and $226.06 per square foot, from $440,000 to $499,000. This year's median is $4,500 higher, but four sales are too few for a reliable percentage. Price per square foot came in $12.10 lower, partly because this year's homes were 164 square feet larger at the median, and larger homes usually sell for less per foot.

The bigger Beech zone set confirms the read. Comparable resale homes built from 1995 to 2005 went from a $503,750 median to $519,400, up 3.1 percent, while price per square foot fell 2.5 percent, from $220.71 to $215.19. Citywide, all Hendersonville sales went from 1,125 at $545,000 to 1,089 at $533,900, down 2.0 percent. For longer context, Trace at Alexandria closed 13 homes in calendar 2021 at $375,000 and $180.74 per foot, and 6 in calendar 2024 at $438,500 and $214.74. Per foot pricing is up 18.4 percent since 2021 but has held roughly level since 2024.

Getting Around Trace at Alexandria and Who Buys Here

Trace at Alexandria sits in west Hendersonville, and daily drives start on the Drakes Creek Road, Saundersville Road and Sanders Ferry Road network, which feeds Vietnam Veterans Boulevard (SR 386). From there, I-65 carries you south, and downtown Nashville typically runs 30 to 45 minutes most mornings depending on traffic at the I-65 merge. Listings here lean on quick access to the shopping and medical offices along the Vietnam Veterans corridor, so drive your own route at commute time before you decide.

The buyers I see here are usually moving up from a townhome or a smaller first house and want a detached home with a real yard in the Beech zone, owners who would rather not pay dues or answer to an association, and buyers who want an established street rather than new construction. If you are weighing a resale home like these against a new build, our new construction vs resale comparison lays out the trade-offs.
