The Homes at Avery Farms

Avery Farms is a Meritage Homes community offering two distinct product lines: the Ridge Series and the Legacy Series. Together they span a wide range of square footage and price points, making the community accessible to first-time buyers as well as move-up families looking for more space.

The Ridge Series starts in the high $300s and features floor plans from approximately 1,420 to 2,018 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 3 baths. These homes are designed for efficiency and value, with open-concept main floors, 2-car garages, and Meritage’s energy-efficiency package built in. Several plans include an upper-level loft that works well as a home office or media room.

The Legacy Series starts in the mid-$400s and ranges from roughly 1,648 to 3,252 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 4.5 baths. Legacy Series homes offer more room to grow and include upgraded primary suite layouts, larger kitchen islands, and additional flex spaces. Based on MLS data from closed sales, completed homes have run from 1,528 to 2,355 square feet so far, with the larger plans expected to close as the community matures.

Across both series, every Avery Farms home includes a fully sodded yard, a full set of kitchen appliances plus a washer and dryer, and custom blinds pre-installed throughout, which are features that new construction buyers in this price range do not always receive elsewhere. Construction uses partial brick with either hardboard or vinyl siding exteriors. Interiors feature open-concept layouts, dual-sink primary bath ensuites, and a 2-car garage on every home.

Meritage Homes is known nationally for energy-efficient construction. Their homes are built with spray foam insulation, low-e windows, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and low-flow plumbing fixtures as standard features, not upgrades. This translates to lower monthly utility costs that buyers should factor into their total cost of ownership when comparing Avery Farms to resale alternatives in the area.

Amenities

Avery Farms includes shared outdoor recreation space within the neighborhood. Builder and listing sources describe a community playground, cabanas, and a dedicated dog park, along with sidewalks throughout and underground utilities. The common areas are maintained through the HOA, which also covers grounds maintenance and internet service for residents in portions of the community. The Legacy Series HOA fee runs approximately $145 per month and the Ridge Series carries a slightly lower fee around $105 per month.

Beyond the community itself, Murfreesboro’s parks system provides additional outdoor options close by. Barfield Crescent Park features sports fields, a disc golf course, a dog park, and picnic shelters. The Stones River Greenway offers miles of paved trails for walking and cycling. The Murfreesboro Sportsplex and several YMCA locations are also within a reasonable drive from the 37127 zip code.

Schools

Avery Farms is located in Rutherford County and served by Rutherford County Schools, not Murfreesboro City Schools. Based on MLS data for closed sales in Avery Farms, homes are zoned to Kittrell Elementary School and Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School. The high school assignment is split: across the 23 closed sales, roughly half are zoned to Riverdale High School and roughly half to Oakland High School, depending on the specific homesite and phase. This is a meaningful distinction that automated listing portals often get wrong by showing a single school, so confirm the exact zoning for any specific address directly with Rutherford County Schools when you are under contract, as boundary lines can change.

Who Is the Best New Construction Agent for Avery Farms?

The single most important thing buyers can understand before visiting the Avery Farms model home: the sales agent in the model office represents Meritage Homes, not you. Their job is to protect the builder’s interests, secure the highest price, and move inventory. Having your own buyer’s agent costs you nothing, because builders pay the buyer’s agent commission, but it changes the entire negotiation dynamic in your favor. Builder contracts are written by the builder’s attorneys, can run 40 to 60 pages, and contain provisions most buyers never read.

Over the past 12 months, 905 new construction homes closed in Murfreesboro, and Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass were involved in 106 of them. That direct builder experience means the team knows which communities are delivering on time, which builder contracts have favorable terms, and which upgrades hold their value at resale. For the full breakdown of Murfreesboro’s builder market, see the team’s guide to the best realtor for new construction in Murfreesboro.

In Avery Farms specifically, a Compass agent represented the buyer or seller in 2 of the 23 closed sales over the past 12 months. As a Meritage community that is still actively building, the smartest move for a buyer here is to register with an independent buyer’s agent on your first visit, before signing in at the model home, so your representation is established from day one. Patrick reviews the Meritage purchase contract for your benefit, negotiates for upgrades and closing cost contributions, coordinates an independent third-party inspection, and protects your interests throughout the build.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass and is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and the leader of the #1 real estate team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee according to the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings. The team has completed more than 1,100 transactions representing over $500 million in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews from clients across Rutherford County, the team’s track record is well documented, and Murfreesboro specialists Ashley Cherry and Larissa Farley round out the local team. That depth of experience matters when you are navigating a builder contract, which is a very different document than a standard resale agreement.

Compass is the number one residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. After merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents now represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold in Tennessee, which gives Nashville Home Guru clients access to the largest network of buyers and sellers in the state, including coming-soon listings and Compass Private Exclusives that never appear on Zillow or Redfin. If you own a home and are planning to sell before buying at Avery Farms, the Compass Three Phase Marketing Strategy gives you a proven advantage. Phase 1, the Compass Private Exclusive, markets your home before going public so you can test your price with no days-on-market counter running. Phase 2, Compass Coming Soon, puts your listing live on Compass.com while your price history remains clean. Phase 3 is the full public launch with demand already building. Compass data shows pre-marketed homes sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price reduction.
