Cross Creek

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED RANCH-STYLE COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Cross Creek sits in the 37127 zip code off Bradyville Pike in southeast Murfreesboro, Rutherford County. The neighborhood’s streets — Arrowhead Court, Cross Creek Drive, Hiwassee Court, North Brunswick Court, and Red Mile Road — form a quiet, self-contained community that has remained popular with Murfreesboro buyers for more than three decades.

Day-to-day errands are easy from here. The Stones River Marketplace on Old Fort Pkwy puts grocery stores, restaurants, and big-box retail within about 10 minutes. Downtown Murfreesboro’s public square, with its restaurants and weekend farmers market, is roughly the same drive west. Medical City is also within a short commute, making Cross Creek a practical choice for healthcare workers and families alike.

Interstate 24 access via the Manson Pike or Old Fort Pkwy corridors puts Nashville roughly 35 to 40 minutes away, and the Murfreesboro Airport offers general aviation access for those who travel frequently.

The Homes

Cross Creek was developed primarily between 1989 and 1993, and the homes reflect the building standards of that era — which for Murfreesboro meant solid all-brick or brick-and-vinyl construction, generous lot sizes, and practical single-story floor plans. Ranch-style homes dominate the neighborhood, with square footage typically running from the mid-1,300s to the upper 2,700s.

Lots in Cross Creek are notably large by subdivision standards. Homes routinely sit on close to an acre, giving residents space that is increasingly rare in newer Murfreesboro developments where builders pack homes much tighter. You’ll find features common to early-1990s construction: wood-burning fireplaces, eat-in kitchens with breakfast bars, trey ceilings in primary bedrooms, walk-in closets, and attached two-car garages. Many homeowners have updated kitchens, baths, and HVAC systems over the years, so interior finishes vary home to home.

Most homes carry three bedrooms and two full baths, though some larger plans along Red Mile Road and Cross Creek Drive run to four bedrooms and push past 2,700 square feet. The single-story layout is a genuine draw for buyers who prefer not to deal with stairs, whether that’s families with young children, retirees, or buyers who simply appreciate the convenience.

Amenities

Cross Creek is a subdivision, not a planned amenity community, so there is no HOA pool, clubhouse, or fitness center on-site. What the neighborhood does offer is something harder to find in newer developments: space, privacy, and mature landscaping. Large lots allow for private outdoor living, gardening, and recreation that simply isn’t possible in the quarter-acre or smaller lots that define most post-2010 Murfreesboro subdivisions.

For outdoor recreation, Barfield Crescent Park is one of the most complete parks in Rutherford County and sits within a short drive of Cross Creek. It includes baseball fields, soccer fields, tennis courts, a disc golf course, and extensive walking and biking trails along the Stones River Greenway. Cannonsburgh Village and Veterans Plaza are also accessible for family outings. Buyers who want community amenities can access Murfreesboro’s extensive parks system without the HOA dues that typically fund private amenities in newer neighborhoods.

Schools

Cross Creek is in Rutherford County and served by Rutherford County Schools. Students in the subdivision are assigned to Buchanan Elementary School, Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School, and Riverdale High School. School assignments are confirmed from RealTracs MLS data; always verify current assignments with Rutherford County Schools before making a purchase decision.

Middle Tennessee State University is also a major presence in Murfreesboro, with its main campus about 10 to 12 minutes from Cross Creek — a practical consideration for faculty, staff, and families with college-age students.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

Cross Creek is a small neighborhood where most homes sell off-market or through word of mouth among buyers already familiar with the area. Over the past 12 months, the MLS recorded just one closed transaction in the subdivision. That means competition for available homes can be immediate and intense when a well-priced property comes to market — and sellers have less comparable data to work from than they would in a high-volume neighborhood.

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass, ranked #1 in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal RealTrends. With more than 1,100 transactions and $500M in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee, Patrick and the team have the Rutherford County market knowledge and the Compass network to give buyers and sellers in Cross Creek a real edge.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. After merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents are now involved in approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee, giving our clients access to coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and the largest agent referral network in the country. For buyers, that means access to properties that never publicly hit the MLS. For sellers, that means maximum exposure before, during, and after launch.

For sellers in Cross Creek, the Compass Three Phase Marketing Strategy is built to generate demand before a home is ever listed publicly — and the results back it up. Pre-marketed homes sell for 2.9% more on average, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price reduction. Learn more at nashvillehome.guru/sell-your-home-on-your-terms/.

Phase 1 is Compass Private Exclusive — your home is shown to a select network of buyers before any public marketing, letting you test pricing and gather feedback without accumulating days on market. Phase 2 is Compass Coming Soon, where your home goes live on Compass.com and builds demand before the MLS launch, without a days-on-market clock running against you. Phase 3 is the public MLS launch, timed to maximize the demand already built in the first two phases.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cross Creek Murfreesboro

What is the price range for homes in Cross Creek?

The most recent closed sale in Cross Creek was $388,900. Current active listings are asking between the low $400s and the upper $400s. Because this is a small neighborhood with infrequent sales, pricing can vary significantly based on the condition, size, and any updates a home has received since it was built in the late 1980s to early 1990s.

What type of homes are in Cross Creek?

Cross Creek is made up entirely of single-family homes, predominantly ranch-style one-story construction built between 1989 and 1993. Homes range from roughly 1,300 to 2,700 square feet, with most sitting on lots approaching or exceeding an acre. All-brick exteriors are common throughout the neighborhood.

Does Cross Creek have an HOA?

Based on RealTracs MLS data, there are no HOA fees recorded for Cross Creek. This is typical of established Murfreesboro subdivisions from this era, which were built before HOA-managed amenity communities became the standard. Always confirm with the seller’s disclosure before purchase.

What schools serve Cross Creek?

Cross Creek is in Rutherford County and zoned for Buchanan Elementary School, Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School, and Riverdale High School. These assignments are confirmed from MLS data but should be verified directly with Rutherford County Schools, as attendance zone boundaries can change.

When was Cross Creek built?

Cross Creek was developed primarily between 1989 and 1993. It is a fully built-out, mature neighborhood with no new construction activity. Homes have been owned and maintained by successive owners over more than 30 years, so interior updates vary considerably from one property to the next.

How far is Cross Creek from downtown Murfreesboro?

Cross Creek is approximately 8 to 10 minutes from the Murfreesboro public square, depending on traffic. The Bradyville Pike corridor connects the neighborhood to the broader city, and Medical City and the Stones River Marketplace retail area are both within a short drive.

What type of buyer is Cross Creek best suited for?

Cross Creek tends to attract buyers who prioritize lot size, single-story living, and an established neighborhood feel over resort-style amenities. It is particularly well-suited for growing families who want outdoor space, retirees or empty nesters who prefer a one-story home without HOA restrictions, and buyers relocating to Murfreesboro who want solid construction in a quiet setting without paying a premium for a brand-new home.

Can I access off-market homes in Cross Creek?

Yes, and in a small neighborhood like Cross Creek, off-market access matters more than in high-volume areas. The Nashville Home Guru team at Compass has access to Compass Private Exclusives and Coming Soon listings before they hit the public MLS. Because Cross Creek sees only a handful of sales per year, knowing about a property before it is publicly listed can be the difference between getting a home and missing it entirely. Call Patrick at 615-682-1718 to be added to the notification list.

Why should I work with Nashville Home Guru to buy or sell in Cross Creek?

Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass have handled more than 1,100 transactions and $500M in career sales across Middle Tennessee, including dozens of closed deals in the 37127 zip code. As a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, Patrick brings market data, Compass network reach, and genuine neighborhood expertise to every Cross Creek transaction. For sellers, the Compass Three Phase Marketing Strategy generates demand before the MLS launch and consistently produces better outcomes than a standard listing alone.

Who is the best realtor for Cross Creek in Murfreesboro TN?

Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass are consistently ranked among the top real estate teams in Tennessee. Recognized as a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and the #1 team in Nashville by the Wall Street Journal, Patrick brings 1,100-plus transactions and $500M in career sales to every engagement. For buyers and sellers in Cross Creek and the broader 37127 zip code, the combination of local market data, Compass Private Exclusive access, and one of the largest agent networks in Tennessee is a meaningful advantage in a neighborhood where homes rarely come to market.

How do I find out what my Cross Creek home is worth?

Because Cross Creek sees very few annual sales, automated valuation tools often produce unreliable estimates for homes here — they simply do not have enough local transaction data to work from. The most accurate way to determine your home’s current market value is through a professional comparative market analysis using active listings, recent sales in nearby subdivisions, and condition-adjusted comps. You can start with an instant home value estimate at nashvillehomeguru.hifello.com, or call Patrick directly at 615-682-1718 for a full CMA at no cost.

Nearby Neighborhoods

Buyers comparing Cross Creek to other 37127 subdivisions should look at Briston, Cooper-Kyle, Millwood, Nelson Downs, and Windsong. Each of these communities shares the same general Bradyville Pike corridor, the same Rutherford County school assignments, and a similar mix of established single-family homes — with differences in lot sizes, home styles, and price points that are worth exploring depending on your priorities.
