Buckingham Place

ESTABLISHED ALL-BRICK COMMUNITY IN MURFREESBORO TN 37130

Location & Daily Life in Buckingham Place

Buckingham Place sits off Osborne Lane in east Murfreesboro, tucked into zip code 37130 in Rutherford County. The community spans three quiet streets: Buckingham Park, Carbon Copy Court, and Splash Place. It’s a small, established neighborhood where homes rarely come available, and when they do, buyers tend to act quickly.

Daily life here is low-key and convenient. The Southeast Murfreesboro corridor puts residents close to a strong retail corridor along Memorial Boulevard and Southeast Broad Street, with grocery, dining, and healthcare options a short drive away. Walter Hill and the Percy Priest Lake area are accessible for outdoor recreation, and I-24 access via the Broad Street interchange keeps commutes to Nashville manageable for those who need to travel north for work.

The neighborhood’s location in the Oakland school zone is a consistent draw. John Pittard Elementary, Oakland Middle School, and Oakland High School are all part of Rutherford County Schools, which consistently outperforms state averages in student achievement. For families prioritizing school zone alongside a smaller, quieter community, Buckingham Place checks both boxes.

The Homes in Buckingham Place

Buckingham Place homes are all-brick construction, built around 2012, and reflect the quality standards of that era of Murfreesboro development. The community features two-story contemporary-style homes with three bedrooms, two full baths, and attached garages. Square footage in the neighborhood runs approximately 1,800 to 1,900 square feet, offering solid living space without the premium footprint of newer construction communities nearby.

One of Buckingham Place’s most notable characteristics is lot size. At roughly half an acre per home, these properties offer yard space that is increasingly rare in Murfreesboro’s newer subdivisions, where builders have squeezed more units onto tighter footprints. A composition shingle roof, attached garage, and traditional interior layout round out the package. All-brick construction reduces long-term exterior maintenance costs and contributes to the neighborhood’s consistent curb appeal.

Because Buckingham Place is a small, established community, turnover is limited. The neighborhood does not appear to carry an HOA, which appeals to buyers who want ownership without monthly association dues or deed restriction oversight.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buckingham Place

What do homes in Buckingham Place typically sell for?
The most recent RealTracs sale in Buckingham Place closed at $254,500 for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,879-square-foot all-brick home on Carbon Copy Court. That reflects a price per square foot of approximately $135. Because the community turns over infrequently, current market value for any given home also reflects comparable sales from nearby neighborhoods in the 37130 zip code, adjusting for Buckingham Place’s specific advantages: all-brick construction, lot size near half an acre, and no HOA obligation.

When were homes in Buckingham Place built?
Buckingham Place homes were built around 2012. The community reflects the construction quality of that period in Murfreesboro: all-brick exteriors, two-story contemporary layout, composition shingle roofs, and attached garages. At roughly 12 to 13 years old, these homes are past the peak of any initial systems warranty but well before the point where major capital expenditure items typically become pressing, assuming routine maintenance has been kept up.

Does Buckingham Place have an HOA?
Based on available RealTracs data, Buckingham Place does not carry a homeowners association fee. There is no monthly, quarterly, or annual HOA payment indicated in the recorded transaction data for the neighborhood. For buyers who want the appeal of an established Murfreesboro community without the ongoing cost and deed restriction overhead of an HOA, Buckingham Place is a reasonable option to evaluate. We always recommend confirming HOA status directly with any seller during the offer process, as smaller communities can have informal arrangements not reflected in MLS data.

What schools serve Buckingham Place?
Buckingham Place is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. The current school assignments are John Pittard Elementary School, Oakland Middle School, and Oakland High School. Rutherford County Schools is a separate district from Metro Nashville Public Schools and serves all homes in Murfreesboro, including all four zip codes: 37127, 37128, 37129, and 37130. School zone assignments should always be verified directly with Rutherford County Schools before purchase, as zone boundaries can be adjusted.

How many homes are in Buckingham Place?
Buckingham Place is a small community with streets on Buckingham Park, Carbon Copy Court, and Splash Place, all off Osborne Lane in east Murfreesboro. It is not a large subdivision. Turnover is limited, which means available listings are infrequent. Buyers specifically targeting this neighborhood should consider setting up an automated MLS alert rather than checking listing sites periodically, as homes here can go under contract quickly when they do become available.

What home styles and features are typical in Buckingham Place?
Homes in Buckingham Place are two-story, contemporary-style, all-brick construction. They typically include three bedrooms, two full baths, and an attached one-car garage. Lot sizes run near half an acre, which is meaningfully larger than most newer Murfreesboro subdivisions where quarter-acre and smaller lots have become standard. All-brick exteriors reduce exterior maintenance costs relative to vinyl or fiber cement siding alternatives and tend to hold long-term value well in the Rutherford County market.

Is Buckingham Place a good fit for families or move-up buyers?
Buckingham Place is best suited to buyers who prioritize school zone, lot size, and all-brick construction at a mid-range price point. At roughly $250,000 to $270,000 for a 3-bedroom, 1,800-plus square foot home in the Oakland school zone with no HOA, the neighborhood competes favorably for budget-conscious family buyers who would otherwise be looking at newer construction in 37128 or townhome options in 37130. The lot sizes alone are a strong differentiator for buyers who want outdoor space without paying premium acreage prices. It is not a community for buyers seeking resort-style amenities or large square footage, but for families who value school zone and yard space over square footage and club amenities, it delivers well.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Buckingham Place?
The challenge in a small community like Buckingham Place is that there are rarely enough local comps to set price with confidence using only in-subdivision data. Patrick’s approach is to build a broader comparable set that accounts for all-brick construction premium, Oakland school zone positioning, and lot size relative to homes in neighboring subdivisions like The Hamptons and Huntington Place. In the most recent Buckingham Place transaction recorded in RealTracs, the home sold above its original list price, which is consistent with the pattern Patrick sees when well-priced all-brick product in the Oakland zone meets the market. Getting the pricing and positioning right from day one matters significantly in a neighborhood where you may not have a second chance before buyer attention moves elsewhere.

Can I access a Buckingham Place home before it hits Zillow?
Yes. Through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs, Patrick’s buyers gain access to properties before they are publicly listed on Zillow, Realtor.com, or other third-party portals. In a low-inventory neighborhood like Buckingham Place, where a home may not come available for a year or more, this early access can be the difference between securing a home and missing it entirely. There is no additional cost to buyers for working with a Compass buyer’s agent. Reach out to Patrick directly to be added to the Buckingham Place watch list.

What is my Buckingham Place home worth in today’s market?
Automated valuation tools like Zillow’s Zestimate struggle in low-turnover communities. With only a handful of sales over multiple years, these tools often reach outside the subdivision for comparables and end up averaging across homes that don’t share the same construction type, lot size, or school zone as yours. An all-brick home on a half-acre in the Oakland zone at Buckingham Place is not comparable to a vinyl-sided home on a quarter-acre two miles away. The Hifello estimate below gives a strong starting point, but for an accurate, defensible number grounded in current Rutherford County market conditions, call Patrick directly at 615-682-1718 for a no-obligation consultation.

We’ve owned our Buckingham Place home for over a decade. How do we price it correctly when we’re ready to sell?
This is exactly the right question, and it’s one that trips up some sellers who rely on online estimates or agents who haven’t sold recently in the 37130 zip code. After ten-plus years of ownership, your all-brick Buckingham Place home carries meaningful equity, but translating that into an accurate listing price requires building comps from a broader radius: nearby communities in the Oakland school zone, recent sales of all-brick product in 37130, and any upgrades you’ve made to kitchen, bathrooms, or systems. Patrick’s process for established-community sellers begins with a walkthrough and a RealTracs pull that goes beyond the subdivision boundaries, giving you a defensible price range supported by real market data rather than an algorithm’s guess. Reach out to set that up: 615-682-1718.
