Amenities

Blackman Meadows is a traditional residential neighborhood without a community pool or clubhouse, which is part of why HOA fees stay remarkably low at roughly $165-$220 per year. The tradeoff is that residents keep more of their own money while accessing Murfreesboro’s broader amenity network just outside the neighborhood.

The Murfreesboro Greenway system offers over 30 miles of paved trails connecting parks, open spaces, and neighborhoods across the city. Barfield Crescent Park, one of the largest parks in Rutherford County, is a short drive away and includes sports fields, a disc golf course, and extensive trail loops. For shopping and dining, Stones River Marketplace and the corridors along Old Fort Parkway and Northwest Broad Street give residents a full range of options without a long commute.

For Sellers: The Compass Three-Phase Marketing Strategy

If you’re selling a home in Blackman Meadows, the way your home is launched to the market has a direct impact on your final sale price. Compass uses a Three Phase Marketing Strategy proven to deliver better outcomes than a traditional MLS-only launch.

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Your home is shown to a select audience of qualified buyers and agents before it ever hits the public market. This phase lets you test your price, gather feedback, and refine your strategy with zero public days on market or price history attached. Phase 2 – Compass Coming Soon: Your listing goes live on Compass.com, where motivated buyers find homes without seeing the market time or prior pricing information that can undercut your negotiating position. Phase 3 – Public Launch: The home goes live across MLS and all major third-party platforms with maximum buyer demand already built up.

Homes pre-marketed through this system close at 2.9% higher prices, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price reduction.
