Broadlands

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED LUXURY COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life in Broadlands

Broadlands sits along Broadlands Drive and Waters Edge Court off Broad Street in the 37130 zip code, placing residents in one of Murfreesboro’s most established and low-traffic pockets. The community is roughly ten minutes from downtown Murfreesboro’s courthouse square and within easy reach of The Avenue Murfreesboro, making daily errands convenient without the noise of high-density development nearby.

The location gives quick access to US-231 and Interstate 24, putting Nashville International Airport approximately 40 minutes out and downtown Nashville within 45 minutes depending on traffic. Cannonsburgh Village, Barfield Crescent Park’s trail system, and Stones River Greenway are all within a short drive, offering outdoor recreation without leaving the area. This is a neighborhood built for buyers who value privacy, space, and a stable residential address above walkable density.

The Homes in Broadlands

Broadlands is a small, custom-built community where the homes themselves are the defining feature. Both sales in the rolling 12-month period from RealTracs MLS were all-brick traditional-style residences, and the construction quality reflects that. Square footage ranged from 5,323 to 6,153 square feet, with four to five bedrooms and three to four full baths. These are not production homes.

Interior features documented in recent sales include ten-foot main-level ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, architectural trim and custom millwork, multiple fireplaces with custom mantles, built-in bookshelves, front and rear staircases, and three-to-four-car garages. One home featured a 1,250-square-foot owner’s suite with a pool and pool house; another included a steam room, central vacuum, home office, bonus room, and formal dining room. Lot sizes ranged from roughly half an acre to two full acres, both on level ground.

Year-built data shows homes constructed between 1996 and 2006, giving the community a mature, established feel with the structural quality of that era’s custom construction. Buyers who have lived in tract-built subdivisions often remark on the difference immediately when they walk through a Broadlands home.

Amenities & Community Features

Broadlands is not a resort-style amenity community, and that is intentional. Buyers here are typically choosing the neighborhood for its custom homes, large lots, and mature landscaping rather than a clubhouse or pool. The community is small and quiet, defined by its private, estate-like character.

For outdoor recreation, Barfield Crescent Park is one of Murfreesboro’s premier park systems and is accessible within a few minutes of the neighborhood. Its disc golf course, baseball complex, dog park, and connected trail network serve as a practical extension of outdoor life for Broadlands residents. The Stones River Greenway, which runs through sections of the city, provides additional trail access without driving to a trailhead.

Schools in Broadlands

Broadlands is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Based on RealTracs MLS data, the school assignments for the community are Black Fox Elementary School, Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School, and Riverdale High School. Buyers should confirm current zoning directly with Rutherford County Schools, as attendance boundaries can change.

Rutherford County Schools is one of the larger and fastest-growing school districts in Tennessee. Families relocating from out of state frequently cite the district’s size, extracurricular programming, and new school construction as factors in choosing Murfreesboro over other Middle Tennessee markets.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru in Broadlands?

Broadlands is one of the most limited-inventory luxury communities in Murfreesboro’s 37130 zip code. Only two homes traded in the past 12 months, which means pricing decisions here cannot rely on a pool of recent comparable sales the way a larger subdivision can. The $26-per-square-foot spread between those two sales reflects real variance in lot size, condition, and finishes that automated valuation tools have no way to account for accurately.

In the broader 37130 zip code, Nashville Home Guru at Compass represented one side of 17.7% of all closed transactions over the past year — 127 of 717 total sales. That level of market presence in this zip code means Patrick’s team has direct knowledge of what buyers are paying, what sellers are accepting, and where deals are being made before they hit public searches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Broadlands

What do homes in Broadlands sell for?
Based on RealTracs MLS data for the 12-month rolling period, closed sales in Broadlands ranged from $897,500 to $1,200,000, with a median and average of $1,048,750. Price per square foot ranged from $169 to $195. The spread reflects real differences in lot size (half an acre versus two acres), pool presence, and level of custom finish. Homes here are priced individually, not by a floor plan matrix.

When were the homes in Broadlands built?
Homes in Broadlands were constructed between 1996 and 2006. This was a period when Murfreesboro was expanding rapidly east of the city center, and Broadlands represented a segment of the market built for custom, estate-scale construction. The homes reflect the craftsmanship priorities of that era — all-brick exteriors, custom millwork, large garages, and generous lot sizes that newer developments rarely offer at this price point.

Does Broadlands have an HOA?
HOA status in Broadlands varies by home. One of the two most recent closed sales had an HOA with an annual fee of $200. The other had no HOA. Buyers should request the seller’s disclosure and verify current HOA status with the listing agent for any specific property. At $200 annually, where it does apply, the fee is among the lowest of any organized Murfreesboro community.

How large are the homes and lots in Broadlands?
Recent sales ranged from 5,323 to 6,153 square feet of finished living space with four to five bedrooms and three to four full baths. Lots ranged from 0.53 to 2.04 acres, both level. For context, a two-acre level lot in Murfreesboro’s 37130 zip code at this price point is exceptionally rare — most newer communities in the area top out well under half an acre.

What schools serve Broadlands?
Broadlands is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. RealTracs MLS data shows assignment to Black Fox Elementary School, Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School, and Riverdale High School. Rutherford County Schools operates independently of Metro Nashville Public Schools — this is important for buyers relocating from Nashville who may assume a Nashville address means MNPS. Always confirm current zoning directly with the district.

What type of construction are the homes in Broadlands?
Both homes sold in the past 12 months were all-brick, traditional-style construction. All-brick exteriors carry a meaningful premium in Murfreesboro’s market compared to frame or partial-brick homes. They require less exterior maintenance, hold their value more consistently, and tend to attract a specific buyer who is actively looking for that construction standard. In a small community like Broadlands where comparable sales are limited, this consistency helps pricing hold firm.

Is Broadlands a good fit for buyers who want space and privacy near Murfreesboro?
Yes, and specifically for move-up buyers or downsizers from larger estate properties who want a premium home in an established neighborhood without the density of newer master-planned communities. At a median of $1,048,750, with 5,300-plus square feet, all-brick construction, and lots up to two acres, Broadlands competes with new construction at similar prices while offering mature landscaping, larger land, and custom-built details that production builders do not replicate. Commute times to downtown Murfreesboro run about ten minutes, and Nashville is reachable in under an hour via I-24.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Broadlands?
With only two closed sales in the past 12 months, Broadlands pricing depends almost entirely on condition, lot premium, and feature-by-feature comparison rather than a cluster of recent comps. Patrick analyzes the $26-per-square-foot range between the two sales and works backward to identify what drove the difference: lot size, pool infrastructure, garage count, and finish level. For sellers, that analysis determines how to position and price the home. For buyers, it identifies where a well-priced opportunity sits versus one that has been overreached. Patrick is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent who has sold homes in all four Murfreesboro zip codes and publishes monthly market data from RealTracs MLS.

Who is the best realtor for Broadlands in Murfreesboro TN?
Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is consistently ranked among the top agents in Rutherford County. His team represented one side of 17.7% of all closed transactions in the 37130 zip code over the past year — 127 of 717 total sales. In a community as small as Broadlands, that zip-level presence is what matters most: Patrick knows the buyers who are looking in this price range and the sellers who have moved through similar properties. He has earned 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews from clients across Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee, and holds a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent designation with over 1,100 career transactions since 2014.

Can I access a Broadlands home before it hits Zillow?
Yes. As a Compass brokerage team, Nashville Home Guru has access to Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs. Private Exclusive listings are available to Compass buyers and agents before any public portal syndication. Coming Soon listings appear on Compass.com before hitting the MLS. In a community where homes trade as infrequently as Broadlands, these programs can represent the only realistic path to purchasing a specific home before competing offers emerge. There is no additional cost to a buyer for working with a Compass agent to access these listings.

What is my Broadlands home worth in today’s market?
Automated valuation tools struggle significantly in communities like Broadlands. With only two closed sales in the past 12-month period, Zillow’s Zestimate and similar tools have an extremely thin comparable pool to draw from, and they cannot account for lot size premiums, pool infrastructure, garage count, or the condition differences between homes of this era. Patrick’s team generates custom comparative market analyses using direct RealTracs MLS data, including off-market context from the 127 sales they were involved in across 37130 over the past year. Use the Hifello link below for an instant estimate, then call Patrick directly for a full analysis before making any pricing decisions.

We’ve owned our Broadlands home for over 15 years — how do we price it right when we’re ready to sell?
Long-term Broadlands owners face a specific challenge: the comparison pool is so limited that no automated tool can price your home accurately. Two sales in a rolling year is not enough data to capture the full range of what the community supports. The right pricing approach requires a manual analysis of every relevant all-brick custom sale in 37130 over the past two to three years, lot size adjusted, finish-level adjusted, and positioned against what comparable buyers are currently active in the market. Patrick’s team has access to that full transaction history through RealTracs and regularly handles exactly this type of limited-comp situation across Murfreesboro’s luxury market. The 17.7% market share his team holds in this zip code means he is often on both sides of the most relevant recent transactions.
