555 West Townhomes

MURFREESBORO’S UPSCALE TOWNHOME COMMUNITY ON GRESHAM LANE

Location & Daily Life

555 West Townhomes sits along Gresham Lane in Murfreesboro, just off Old Fort Parkway near the I-24 interchange. The location puts you within five minutes of the interstate, less than ten minutes from the Medical Center Parkway retail and dining corridor, and about fifteen minutes from MTSU’s campus. The Avenue Murfreesboro, Costco, and Sam’s Club are all a short drive away — the kind of everyday convenience that makes this address work for professionals, students, and investors alike.

The community itself is compact and well-finished. These are upscale townhomes — not entry-level condos — with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and LVP flooring as standard features. The HOA covers exterior maintenance and grounds, which means the ongoing upkeep burden on owners is genuinely low. For buyers weighing a townhome against a single-family home in this price range, the trade is straightforward: less yard, less maintenance, more walkable access to Murfreesboro’s southwest corridor.

555 West sits within the Blackman school zone, one of the most in-demand assignments in Rutherford County. That matters even for buyers who aren’t school-focused today — Blackman zoning supports resale value and attracts a consistent pool of future buyers if and when you sell.

The Homes

555 West was built in 2019 and 2020, and the finish level reflects the upscale positioning the developer aimed for. Units are two-bedroom, two-bath attached townhomes ranging from approximately 1,182 to 1,307 square feet. Each bedroom functions as a full primary suite with its own en suite bath — a layout that works well for roommates, short-term rental use, or buyers who simply want two equally finished bedrooms rather than a primary-and-secondary configuration.

Interior features across sold units include quartz countertops in kitchens and baths, stainless steel appliances, custom shaker cabinets with under-cabinet lighting, craftsman-style doors, and LVP flooring on main living areas. Several units include climate-controlled storage on the patio and custom built-in shelving in closets and pantry. The construction is fiber cement and partial brick — a durable exterior package that holds up well in Middle Tennessee’s climate without the maintenance demands of full wood siding.

End units are available in this community and carry a premium for buyers who value additional natural light and fewer shared walls. Each unit includes two assigned parking spots with guest parking available throughout the development. Renting is permitted, which opens the door to investors as well as owner-occupants who may want the option to lease down the road.

Amenities & Community Features

555 West keeps its amenity structure simple and practical. The HOA covers exterior maintenance and grounds throughout the development, and depending on the unit, the fee structure may also include building insurance — a meaningful benefit for owners who want predictable carrying costs without managing an exterior repair budget independently. Underground utilities run throughout the community, keeping the streetscape clean and reducing weather-related service disruptions.

There is no community pool or clubhouse. The trade-off is a leaner HOA fee compared to larger amenity-heavy communities in Murfreesboro, and a more private, lower-traffic atmosphere. Two assigned parking spots per unit and ample guest parking keep day-to-day logistics straightforward. For buyers focused on a low-maintenance lifestyle in a well-finished townhome — rather than shared amenities they may not use — 555 West is structured accordingly.

Schools

555 West Townhomes is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Every closed sale in the dataset reflects the same zone:

Elementary: Blackman Elementary School
Middle: Blackman Middle School
High School: Blackman High School

The Blackman zone is one of the most requested school assignments in Rutherford County and draws buyers from throughout the region. Even for buyers who aren’t school-focused, Blackman zoning is a resale asset — it narrows the future buyer pool to families with a strong motivation to close. Verify current zone assignments directly with Rutherford County Schools, as boundaries are subject to periodic review.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do 555 West Townhomes sell for?
The four closed sales in the three-year dataset ranged from $290,000 to $300,000, with a median of $292,500. Price per square foot came in between $222 and $245 depending on unit size and condition. The tight price band reflects how consistent the floor plans are — all units are two-bedroom, two-bath, and the spread between the smallest and largest is only 125 square feet. End units and units with additional storage or upgraded finishes have historically landed at the higher end of that range.

When was 555 West built and what is the construction quality like?
555 West was built in 2019 and 2020 with a finish level well above what you typically see in this price range. Standard features across sold units include quartz countertops in kitchens and all baths, custom shaker cabinets with under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, craftsman-style doors, LVP flooring, and custom built-in shelving. Exterior construction is fiber cement and partial brick — a low-maintenance, durable package. These are not cookie-cutter production units; the developer clearly targeted buyers who expected upscale finishes at an attainable price point.

What are the HOA fees at 555 West, and what do they cover?
HOA fees across closed sales have ranged from $165 to $215 per month. The fee covers exterior maintenance and grounds maintenance at minimum; some units also include building insurance in the HOA structure, which can meaningfully reduce a homeowner’s individual insurance burden. There is no community pool or clubhouse, so the fee goes directly toward keeping the exterior and common areas in good condition. Buyers should confirm the current fee and exactly what is included for any specific unit before closing.

What school zone does 555 West fall in?
All units are zoned for Rutherford County Schools: Blackman Elementary School, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman High School. The Blackman zone is one of the most in-demand in Rutherford County and is a consistent driver of buyer interest in this corridor. Confirm current zoning with Rutherford County Schools, as boundaries are periodically reviewed.

How many units are in 555 West Townhomes?
555 West is a small community. The limited turnover — four sales in three years — reflects both the size of the development and the fact that owners tend to hold. That low churn is generally a positive signal: residents aren’t leaving in large numbers, which speaks to satisfaction with the product and location. It also means that when a unit does come available, competition among buyers can move quickly.

Is renting permitted at 555 West?
Yes. Multiple closed sales in the dataset confirm that renting is permitted. This makes 555 West one of the few Blackman-zoned communities in Murfreesboro where an investor can purchase and lease immediately without waiting for a rental cap to open. It also gives owner-occupants flexibility — if your situation changes, you have the option to lease rather than sell. Buyers should review the current HOA documents to confirm any rental restrictions, approval processes, or minimum lease terms that may apply.

Is 555 West a good fit for first-time buyers or buyers downsizing in Murfreesboro?
Yes, for specific profiles. First-time buyers priced out of single-family homes in the $350K-$500K range often find 555 West appealing: the $290K-$300K price point, Blackman schools, and low exterior maintenance make it a practical entry into Murfreesboro homeownership without the yard upkeep demands of a detached home. Downsizers who have sold a larger home and want to stay in the Blackman corridor without managing a full property are another strong fit. The dual-primary-suite layout also works well for buyers who want a home office setup with a proper closing door — each bedroom has its own full bath and can function independently.

How does Patrick Higgins approach pricing a 555 West townhome?
555 West is a small community with only four comparable sales over three years, which means automated valuation tools are working with a very thin data set. The $23-per-square-foot spread in PPSF across those four sales — $222 to $245 — reflects real differences in unit position (end vs. interior), square footage, and finish condition that an algorithm can’t distinguish. Patrick’s approach starts with a manual review of every closed sale in the dataset, adjusting for those specific variables before arriving at a list price recommendation. He is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and has published monthly Rutherford County market reports using direct RealTracs data since 2014.

He is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and leads the #1 team in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings.

Patrick has earned 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews at a 5.0-star average, with several team members living and working in Murfreesboro full-time.

Can I access a 555 West unit before it hits Zillow?
Yes. Through Compass’s Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs, Nashville Home Guru can surface off-market and pre-market properties before they appear on Zillow, Realtor.com, or other public portals. In a small community like 555 West where publicly listed inventory is limited and units move quickly when they do appear, early access is a real advantage. There is no additional cost to a buyer for representation through these programs — buyer’s agent compensation is handled on the seller side.

What is my 555 West townhome worth right now?
Automated tools like Zillow’s Zestimate underperform in small communities with thin comparable pools. At 555 West, four sales over three years means the algorithm is often extrapolating from nearby single-family homes on Gresham Lane — a fundamentally different property type with a different price-per-square-foot profile. A $23-per-square-foot error at 555 West translates to a $27,000-$30,000 mispricing on a typical unit. Use the Hifello tool below as a starting point, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a full manual analysis before setting a list price.

We’ve owned our 555 West unit for several years — how do we price it right in today’s market?
Long-term sellers at 555 West face a genuine comparable challenge: only four units have sold in three years, and each of those sales was in a different market environment. Pricing against stale comps — especially if the most recent sale is 12-18 months old — risks either leaving money on the table or sitting on the market while active listings in nearby single-family communities absorb buyer attention. Patrick’s team will pull every closed townhome sale in the immediate corridor, adjust for your unit’s specific position, finish condition, and any improvements made since purchase, and give you a current-market number grounded in what buyers are actually paying today — not what they paid two years ago. Call 615-682-1718 to start that conversation.
