Cedar Creek

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED EXECUTIVE COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life in Cedar Creek

Cedar Creek is a quiet, established subdivision in southwest Murfreesboro, tucked just off Shelbyville Pike in the 37128 zip code. The neighborhood sits within a short drive of Veterans Parkway and the sprawling shopping and dining corridor along Medical Center Parkway, giving residents quick access to Costco, Sam’s Club, The Avenue Murfreesboro, and dozens of restaurants without wading into heavier traffic zones.

Daily commutes from Cedar Creek are manageable. Murfreesboro’s core employment centers, including the medical district and MTSU campus, are under 15 minutes away. Nashville is roughly 35-45 minutes via I-24, making Cedar Creek a practical choice for professionals who split time between markets. The surrounding Rutherford County area has continued to attract employers and retail, so residents rarely need to leave the county for essentials.

The feel inside Cedar Creek is decidedly residential and unhurried. Streets curve through the community with spacious lots that separate homes from neighbors, creating a more private setting than you find in tightly packed newer builds. It is the kind of neighborhood where people know their neighbors and tend to stay long-term.

The Homes in Cedar Creek

Cedar Creek was developed primarily between 2005 and 2008, and the homes reflect the construction quality and scale that characterized that era in Rutherford County’s upper-tier market. All-brick construction is the standard here, giving the streetscape a cohesive, substantial look that holds up well over time and minimizes exterior maintenance compared to fiber cement or vinyl alternatives.

Floor plans in Cedar Creek are generous. Closed sales from the past 12 months range from approximately 3,200 to 4,272 square feet, with two-story layouts being the most common configuration. Most homes carry 4 bedrooms, and bathrooms range from 2 full plus a half bath up to 3 full plus a half bath. Two-car and three-car garages are both represented in the neighborhood, and many homes feature covered porches or decks oriented toward private rear yards.

Lot sizes in Cedar Creek are a genuine standout. Recent sales include lots as small as 0.28 acres on interior streets and as large as 1.33 acres on premium cul-de-sac or creek-adjacent positions. For buyers who want meaningful outdoor space without leaving Murfreesboro, Cedar Creek delivers what most newer subdivisions simply cannot offer.

Buyers considering Cedar Creek should expect to find homes with established landscaping, updated kitchens and baths in many cases, and the kind of structural quality that comes with all-brick construction on larger lots. This is not a flip-and-sell community. Most sellers have owned for years and have maintained their properties accordingly.

Amenities & Community Character

Cedar Creek is a residential subdivision without resort-style amenities, and that is part of its appeal to a specific buyer profile. There is no mandatory pool or clubhouse driving up HOA costs, which helps explain why association fees here are among the lowest you will find in southwest Murfreesboro. Fees across recent sales ranged from roughly $60 to $168 per year, meaning residents pay for basic community upkeep without funding amenities they may not use.

The larger lot sizes throughout Cedar Creek give many homes natural buffers, mature tree lines, and in some cases creek frontage or views that serve as the neighborhood’s primary outdoor amenity. For families who prefer a private backyard to a shared pool, and for buyers who want room to add a detached garage, shop, or outdoor entertaining space, the lot inventory here is hard to replicate in newer Murfreesboro developments.

Nearby, residents have access to Barfield Crescent Park, one of Rutherford County’s most popular recreational parks, offering disc golf, soccer fields, dog parks, walking trails, and picnic areas just minutes from Cedar Creek. The YMCA on Siegel Road, the Murfreesboro Greenway system, and the Middle Tennessee Medical Center campus are all within a practical drive.

Schools Serving Cedar Creek

Cedar Creek falls within Rutherford County Schools, one of the largest and fastest-growing school systems in Tennessee. All closed sales in the RealTracs MLS data confirm Rutherford County as the governing district, with Blackman-zone schools serving the neighborhood.

The Blackman cluster is widely considered one of the premier public school zones in Rutherford County. Blackman Elementary School, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman High School collectively serve Cedar Creek students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Blackman High School in particular has a strong academic reputation and competitive extracurricular programs, which is a meaningful draw for families comparing neighborhoods in the 37128 zip code.

Always verify current school zoning directly with Rutherford County Schools, as attendance boundaries can change. Patrick can also confirm zoning for any specific address during the home search process.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru to Buy or Sell in Cedar Creek

Cedar Creek is a low-turnover neighborhood. Only 3 homes changed hands in the past 12 months per RealTracs MLS data, which means when a Cedar Creek home hits the market, it draws attention from buyers who have been waiting. Selling here requires a brokerage with reach and a strategy built around generating demand before day one on MLS. Buying here requires an agent with deep local relationships who can surface opportunities before they go public.

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass, a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent who ranks #1 in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings. With more than 1,100 transactions and $500 million in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee, Patrick brings both the data and the relationships that matter in markets like Cedar Creek.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. Following the 2024 merger with Parks Real Estate, Compass agents are now involved in approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee. That market presence translates directly into buyer exposure, referral networks, and access to properties before they ever appear on Zillow or Redfin.

The Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy

For Cedar Creek sellers, Compass’s Three Phase Marketing Strategy is particularly powerful in a low-inventory neighborhood where even modest pre-marketing can create a bidding environment.

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Your home is shared with Compass’s national network of agents and their buyer clients before any public listing. You test pricing, gather feedback, and generate early interest with zero days on market accumulating.

Phase 2 – Compass Coming Soon: Your home appears on Compass.com, where serious buyers can find it without seeing price history or days on market. This phase builds demand and often surfaces committed buyers before the MLS launch.

Phase 3 – Public Launch: Your home goes live on the MLS and all third-party portals with built-in momentum. Homes marketed through this approach close at 2.9% higher prices, move to contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price reduction.

The variation reflects differences by lot and street within the community. There is no large shared amenity complex driving higher dues.

What schools serve Cedar Creek?

Cedar Creek is zoned for Rutherford County Schools, specifically the Blackman cluster: Blackman Elementary School, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman High School. Blackman High is well-regarded in Rutherford County for academics and athletics. Always confirm current zoning with Rutherford County Schools before purchasing.

When was Cedar Creek built?

Cedar Creek was developed primarily between 2005 and 2008, placing it among Murfreesboro’s established mid-2000s executive subdivisions. The community is fully built out, meaning buyers are purchasing from existing homeowners rather than competing with new construction timelines or builder contracts.

What lot sizes are available in Cedar Creek?

Lot sizes vary considerably across Cedar Creek, which is part of what makes the neighborhood unique. Recent sales show lots ranging from 0.28 acres on interior streets up to 1.33 acres on larger, more private positions. For buyers prioritizing outdoor space, garden room, or separation from neighbors, Cedar Creek’s lot inventory is hard to match at this price point in Murfreesboro.

What type of buyer is Cedar Creek best suited for?

Cedar Creek appeals most strongly to buyers who want a move-in ready executive home on a larger lot without paying for amenities they do not use. Families in the Blackman school zone are a natural fit. So are professional couples relocating from Nashville who want more square footage and land at a price that would be impossible in Williamson County. Buyers who appreciate all-brick construction, established neighborhoods, and low HOA overhead tend to gravitate here and stay for years.
