Aurora Place

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED TOWNHOME COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Aurora Place sits off Joe B Jackson Parkway in the 37127 zip code, one of Murfreesboro’s quieter residential corridors south of the main commercial strip. The community centers on Aurora Circle, a tight-knit loop of two-story townhomes built between 2008 and 2016. It’s the kind of neighborhood where residents actually know their neighbors.

Daily errands are straightforward from here. Murfreesboro’s retail and dining along Medical Center Parkway and NW Broad Street are within 10 minutes. Interstate 24 access means Nashville is reachable in under 40 minutes on most mornings. The location appeals to buyers who want space from the city without giving up convenience.

Surrounding neighborhoods include Del Sol Commons, Everbrite Pointe, Jackson Towne, Magnolia Trace, Sommersby, and The Villas at Del Sol, all of which share a similar suburban, low-maintenance character.

The Homes

Aurora Place is a townhome community, not a single-family neighborhood, though the homes feel surprisingly spacious. Every unit in the community is two stories, with floor plans ranging from approximately 1,350 to just under 2,000 square feet. Bedrooms range from 2 to 4 depending on the plan, with some larger layouts including a bonus room that converts easily into a fourth bedroom or a loft-style office space.

One floor plan of note is the Becca, which places the primary bedroom on the main level, an increasingly rare feature in this price range and a real draw for buyers who prefer single-level living in the master suite. Upper levels typically include two additional bedrooms and either a bonus room or open loft. Most homes include a one-car garage.

Construction is contemporary in style. Exterior materials include brick and vinyl siding, and several units are end-unit configurations offering extra windows and a bit more privacy. Lot sizes are small by Rutherford County standards, which is by design; the HOA handles exterior maintenance, keeping these homes low-effort for owners who travel or simply don’t want yard work on weekends.

Amenities

Aurora Place is a no-frills, maintenance-first community. There is no clubhouse, pool, or fitness center on-site, which keeps HOA fees relatively low compared to larger planned communities in Rutherford County. What the HOA does provide is meaningful: exterior maintenance coverage and underground utilities on select units, which removes the headaches most homeowners dread.

For recreation, residents are within a short drive of Percy Priest Lake, Barfield Crescent Park (Murfreesboro’s largest public park with over 400 acres of trails and greenways), and the Stones River Greenway. Murfreesboro’s dining scene along Middle Tennessee Boulevard and Old Fort Parkway rounds out everyday life without needing to drive to Nashville.

Schools

Aurora Place is located in Rutherford County and served by Rutherford County Schools. Based on MLS data, homes in the community are zoned for either Black Fox Elementary or Buchanan Elementary at the primary level, and either Christiana Middle School or Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School at the junior high level. All roads lead to Riverdale High School for grades 9-12.

Rutherford County Schools is one of the largest school districts in Tennessee, and Riverdale consistently ranks as one of the stronger high schools in the county. Always confirm your specific school assignment with Rutherford County Schools directly, as zone boundaries can shift.

When was Aurora Place built?

Aurora Place was developed between 2008 and 2016. The community is now fully built out, which means buyers are purchasing existing resale units rather than new construction. This also means that the roofs, HVAC systems, and other major components vary in age by unit. A thorough inspection is always recommended.

Townhomes in Aurora Place range from approximately 1,350 to 1,965 square feet across two stories. Floor plans offer 2 to 4 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bath. Some units include a bonus room that can serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, or flex space. Most homes include a one-car garage.

What type of buyer is Aurora Place best suited for?

Aurora Place works particularly well for first-time buyers seeking an entry point in Murfreesboro without the maintenance demands of a single-family home, remote workers or commuters who need access to I-24 and still want space from downtown Nashville, and downsizers or empty nesters who want a smaller footprint with HOA-covered exterior care. The price point also appeals to investors looking for Murfreesboro rental properties, given the community’s consistent resale history and steady demand in the 37127 corridor.
