Florence Green

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED BLACKMAN ZONE COMMUNITY OFF FLORENCE ROAD

Location & Daily Life

Florence Green sits off Florence Road in Murfreesboro’s 37129 zip code, in Rutherford County. The neighborhood is a compact, established single-family community with streets that include Jerickia Court, Monet Court, and Morgan Taylor Drive. The surrounding Florence Road corridor gives residents quick access to Veterans Parkway and the broader southwest Murfreesboro commercial area without being directly on a busy arterial road.

For daily needs, grocery options at Kroger and Publix along Veterans Parkway are a short drive away, along with a deep selection of restaurants, urgent care clinics, and retail. Barfield Crescent Park, one of Rutherford County’s largest recreational destinations with over 430 acres of trails, disc golf, and open green space, is within easy reach. I-24 puts downtown Nashville roughly 35 to 45 minutes away depending on traffic, and Murfreesboro Medical Center is also accessible from this part of the city.

The neighborhood has the feel of a settled, low-traffic residential pocket. Because it sits off Florence Road rather than directly on a major corridor, through traffic is minimal and the streets stay quiet. That combination of convenience and calm is part of what keeps Florence Green competitive against newer subdivisions built at higher density further out.

The Homes

Florence Green is an established community with homes built around 2004. The active listing on the market in 2025 illustrates what buyers find here: a 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath two-story home at 2,800 square feet, with all-brick and vinyl siding construction, dual primary suites (one on the main level, one upstairs), and smart home features throughout. That floor plan is well above average for established 37129 communities in this price band and speaks to the generous layouts builders used in early-2000s Murfreesboro developments.

Lots in Florence Green typically run around 0.24 acres, with dimensions similar to 85 x 125 feet, which provides a meaningful backyard without the maintenance burden of a large estate lot. Two-car garages are standard. The construction mix of all-brick fronts with vinyl siding is common throughout the Florence Road corridor and holds up well in the Middle Tennessee climate.

Because Florence Green is fully built out with a small number of homes, resale opportunities are genuinely limited. When a home does come available, it tends to attract buyers who have been waiting specifically for this neighborhood. The school zone assignment to Blackman High School is a consistent draw for families and typically adds a pricing premium compared to similarly sized homes in lesser-known school zones across 37129.

Amenities

Florence Green does not have a formal HOA or community amenity package, which keeps annual carrying costs lower than many comparable Murfreesboro subdivisions. The neighborhood’s value proposition is primarily its location, school zone, and the quality of the homes themselves rather than a clubhouse or pool. That is consistent with many established early-2000s communities throughout 37129.

Residents have straightforward access to Barfield Crescent Park, which provides over 430 acres of recreational space including mountain biking trails, a disc golf course, walking paths, and picnic areas. Stones River Greenway adds additional trail access across Murfreesboro. For families, MTSU and the Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation system provide a range of sports leagues, fitness facilities, and programming throughout the year.

Veterans Parkway provides the commercial backbone of daily life for Florence Green residents. The Outlets at Music City, The Avenue Murfreesboro, Costco, and a wide range of dining from local independents to national chains are all accessible within a short drive. Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital and the Murfreesboro Medical Center serve the area’s healthcare needs.

Schools

Florence Green is served by Rutherford County Schools. The assigned schools confirmed from MLS data are Brown’s Chapel Elementary School, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman High School. All three schools are part of the Blackman cluster, one of the most consistently sought-after school zone assignments in Murfreesboro.

Blackman High School carries a strong academic and athletic reputation within the Rutherford County system. For families relocating from out of state or moving within the Murfreesboro metro, the Blackman zone consistently ranks as a priority consideration, and homes assigned to it typically hold value better in softer markets than comparable homes in lesser-trafficked zones. Always confirm school assignments directly with Rutherford County Schools for your specific address before making a purchase decision.

Frequently Asked Questions About Florence Green

What is the price range for homes in Florence Green?

Florence Green is a small, fully built-out community with limited annual turnover, which means pricing is shaped heavily by the broader 37129 Blackman zone market rather than a high volume of internal comps. The current active listing is priced at $524,900 for a 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home at 2,800 square feet, reflecting a price per square foot around $187. Buyers should ask Patrick for recent comparable sales in adjacent Blackman zone communities to build an accurate price range picture before writing an offer.

When were the homes in Florence Green built?

Homes in Florence Green were built around 2004. The community is fully built out with no new construction available. Buyers considering a home here should plan for standard due diligence on roofs, HVAC systems, and major mechanicals appropriate for a home that is roughly 20 years old. Well-maintained homes in this era and price range regularly pass inspection without significant issues, but it is always worth budgeting appropriately.

Does Florence Green have an HOA?

No HOA fee is reflected in the current MLS data for Florence Green. This can be a meaningful financial advantage compared to many 37129 neighborhoods where annual dues range from $300 to over $1,200. No HOA also means fewer restrictions on parking, landscaping, and use, which many buyers value. Always confirm current HOA status directly with the listing agent or through title research before closing, as community governance can change over time.

What schools serve Florence Green?

Florence Green falls within Rutherford County Schools. The assigned schools are Brown’s Chapel Elementary School, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman High School. The Blackman cluster is one of the highest-demand school zone assignments in the Murfreesboro market and consistently draws families from across Middle Tennessee and from out of state. Confirm your specific address assignment directly with Rutherford County Schools before purchasing.

How large are homes and lots in Florence Green?

Current data shows homes running approximately 2,800 square feet on lots of around 0.24 acres (roughly 85 x 125 feet). The two-story floor plans include multiple bedrooms, flex spaces, and dual primary suite configurations in some homes. Lot sizes in Florence Green are comparable to similar 2004-era communities across 37129 and provide a usable backyard without demanding extensive upkeep.

What construction type are homes in Florence Green?

Homes in Florence Green use all-brick and vinyl siding construction. The all-brick component is a notable quality marker in the 37129 resale market and typically commands attention from buyers who understand the durability and low maintenance advantages of brick over frame-only construction. In a neighborhood with limited comps, the construction type becomes one of the key variables that supports or defends price in a negotiation.

Is Florence Green a good fit for families relocating to Murfreesboro?

Florence Green is a strong fit for families moving to Murfreesboro who prioritize the Blackman school zone, want an established neighborhood rather than a new-build community, and are comfortable in the $475,000 to $550,000 price range. The 5-bedroom floor plans and dual primary suite configurations work well for households with multiple generations, home office needs, or regular guests. Families relocating from Georgia, Michigan, Illinois, or Texas frequently target the Blackman zone specifically because of its academic reputation and the relative affordability compared to equivalent school zones in Williamson County. Nashville Home Guru works with relocating families regularly and can coordinate remote walkthroughs, virtual tours, and contract-to-close entirely without requiring in-person presence until closing if needed.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Florence Green?

Florence Green presents a specific pricing challenge: it is a small community where internal comps are limited and price per square foot can swing meaningfully based on condition, construction, and school zone demand in a given month. Patrick’s approach is to build the case from the surrounding Blackman zone data outward, identifying which recent sales in Cherrywood Estates, Seward Crossing, and adjacent 37129 neighborhoods provide the most defensible support for the target price. For sellers, identifying whether the all-brick component and lot size are being properly weighted in the comps is the kind of detail that Patrick focuses on to protect value at negotiation. For buyers, understanding where the current $187 price per square foot sits relative to comparable Blackman zone homes is the baseline for writing a competitive but rational offer.

Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass are consistently recognized among the top real estate professionals in Middle Tennessee.

Can I access a Florence Green home before it hits Zillow?

Yes, through Compass. Nashville Home Guru has access to Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon listings that are not yet visible on Zillow, Redfin, or the open MLS. In a neighborhood as small as Florence Green, where only a handful of homes may trade hands in a given year, getting visibility before a home goes public is a genuine competitive advantage. There is no additional cost to buyers for working with a Compass agent. Text or call Patrick at 615-682-1718 to ask about any current off-market inventory in the Florence Road corridor.

What is my Florence Green home worth in today’s market?

Automated tools like Zillow’s Zestimate frequently underperform on Florence Green pricing because the community is small, internal sales data is limited, and the variables that most influence value here, including construction type, lot dimensions, school zone strength, and smart home updates, are not consistently weighted in algorithmic models. The most accurate read on your home’s current value comes from a comparative market analysis that draws from the broader Blackman zone and accounts for what buyers are actually paying in 37129 right now. Start with the Nashville Home Guru home value tool for an instant estimate, then call Patrick for a full analysis before making any pricing decision.

We’ve owned our Florence Green home for nearly 20 years. How do we price it right?

Pricing a home in a small, established community like Florence Green after a long ownership period is genuinely nuanced. With limited internal comps, the comp pool expands to surrounding Blackman zone neighborhoods, and that is where the analysis gets specific. The all-brick construction component, the lot size at roughly 0.24 acres, and any updates made to kitchens, baths, or mechanical systems all factor into how your home compares against recent sales in Cherrywood Estates, Seward Crossing, and other nearby 37129 communities. Pricing too high without understanding where buyers in this zone are drawing their upper threshold means sitting on market and accumulating a price history that signals weakness. Pricing too conservatively means leaving money on the table that two decades of ownership and updates have earned. Patrick’s team will build the case from the data and walk you through a pricing strategy before you ever put a sign in the yard. Call 615-682-1718 to get started.
