Berkshire

MURFREESBORO’S RESORT-STYLE ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY

Location and Daily Life in Berkshire

Berkshire sits on the west side of Murfreesboro, just south of I-840 off Veterans Parkway, putting it in one of the most convenient corridors in Rutherford County. The location gives residents fast access to both Nashville (roughly 30 miles northwest via I-24) and the rest of Murfreesboro without being stuck in the congestion closer to downtown.

Veterans Parkway serves as the main artery, connecting you to Memorial Boulevard’s shopping and restaurant strip in minutes. Publix, Kroger, Walmart, and a wide mix of dining options from fast-casual to local favorites are all within a short drive. The newer commercial development along Veterans Parkway continues to add retail and services, meaning fewer reasons to drive across town for everyday errands.

One of the things that makes Berkshire stand out is the strong sense of community. The HOA runs an active social committee that organizes 20+ events per year, from cookouts and holiday parties to food truck nights and movie screenings. This is not a neighborhood where you wave to a stranger from across the street. Residents genuinely know each other, and new families tend to plug in quickly.

The 37128 zip code has been one of the fastest-growing areas in Rutherford County over the past decade, and Berkshire’s central position within it means the surrounding infrastructure continues to improve. Access to I-840 is a major plus for commuters heading toward Franklin, Nashville, or Lebanon without fighting I-24 traffic.

The Homes

Berkshire is actually a collection of interconnected sections that were developed over roughly 15 years, starting in 2002 and continuing through 2018. The community includes the original Berkshire sections (Sections 1 through 9), The Villages of Berkshire, and Winslow Park at Berkshire. While they share amenities and HOA infrastructure, you’ll find variation in lot sizes, home styles, and price points across the different sections.

Earlier sections built between 2003 and 2008 tend to feature traditional two-story homes with partial brick and vinyl siding exteriors, typically ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 square feet on lots between 0.15 and 0.30 acres. These homes commonly include 3 to 4 bedrooms, hardwood or laminate flooring on main levels, and two-car attached garages. Several of the original Berkshire sections feature larger lots, with some homes on Cavendish Drive, Middlebury Drive, and Colchester Court sitting on 0.35 to 0.45-acre parcels.

The Villages of Berkshire and Winslow Park sections, built primarily between 2007 and 2018, brought a mix of updated floor plans. You’ll find more variety here, including 1.5-story plans with main-level primary suites, fiber cement siding upgrades, and homes ranging up to 4,300+ square feet. The newer sections along Saint Ives Drive and Hensfield Drive command higher prices due to updated finishes and larger floor plans.

Most homes are slab-on-grade construction, and nearly all are two-story with bonus rooms that owners have converted into home offices, playrooms, or fifth bedrooms. Construction types include all-brick, partial brick with vinyl or fiber cement siding, and hardboard with partial brick combinations.

Amenities

Berkshire offers one of the most complete amenity packages of any established subdivision in the Blackman area of Murfreesboro. For roughly $51 per month in HOA dues, residents get access to a surprisingly long list of community features.

The centerpiece is two community swimming pools, each with separate kiddie pools and cabana areas. Having two pools spread across the community means shorter walks for most residents and less crowding during peak summer months. A pavilion near the main pool area is available for birthday parties, neighborhood cookouts, and HOA-sponsored events.

Beyond the pools, the community includes a full basketball court, tennis courts, a playground, and miles of sidewalk-lined streets that connect the entire subdivision. Walking trails run along Overall Creek, giving residents a natural path for morning jogs or evening walks without leaving the neighborhood. Some sections also have access to a clubhouse for events and meetings.

The active social committee is worth mentioning again because it genuinely sets Berkshire apart. With 20+ organized events per year, the community calendar stays full. Holiday celebrations, food truck rallies, and neighborhood-wide yard sales are just a few examples of what keeps this community connected.

Schools Serving Berkshire

Elementary: Most of Berkshire is zoned for Blackman Elementary School, with some sections (particularly along the western edges) zoned for Overall Creek Elementary. Both are well-regarded schools within the Rutherford County Schools district.

Middle: Blackman Middle School serves all Berkshire students. The school feeds into the Blackman cluster, which is one of the most sought-after school zones in Murfreesboro.

High: Blackman High School serves the entire Berkshire community. The Blackman school zone is a major driver of home values on the west side of Murfreesboro, and being zoned for all three Blackman schools is a significant selling point for families.

All three schools are part of Rutherford County Schools. The “triple Blackman” zoning (Blackman Elementary, Blackman Middle, Blackman High) is one of the most requested school zone combinations in the area.
