Laurelstone

MURFREESBORO’S COTTAGE-STYLE NEW CONSTRUCTION COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Laurelstone sits just off TN-96 W in northwest Murfreesboro, placing residents within minutes of the everyday conveniences that make Rutherford County such a popular destination for buyers relocating from Nashville and beyond. The community address falls within the 37130 zip code, and getting around the greater Murfreesboro area is genuinely straightforward from here.

Grocery stores, restaurants, and retail are clustered along nearby corridors, and Old Fort Golf Course is just a short drive away for residents who like to get out on the course. Downtown Murfreesboro, with its vibrant square and growing restaurant scene, is easily reachable, and MTSU’s campus is within the broader Murfreesboro area as well. For commuters, the location off TN-96 provides reasonable access toward I-24 and the broader Middle Tennessee highway network.

Laurelstone is a planned community designed specifically around maintenance-free living, which makes it particularly well-suited for buyers who want a low-hassle lifestyle without sacrificing quality finishes or neighborhood charm. The community feel here is intentional: you get walking trails, a dog park, a community center, and a community garden all within the subdivision itself.

The Homes

Laurelstone was built by Goodall Homes, a well-regarded Tennessee builder with communities across the Nashville area and beyond. The community features two distinct product lines: Courtyard Cottages and Villas. Homes in the CSV data confirm a focus on cottage-style architecture, with floor plans ranging from approximately 1,650 to 2,103 square feet.

Floor plans Goodall offered here include names like the Georgetown (2BR/2BA on main level, optional upstairs loft/bonus room), the Everleigh (3BR/3BA with end-unit option), and the Ashleigh (2BR/3BA with bonus room upstairs). The standard main-level configuration gives each home an owner’s suite and at least one guest bedroom and full bath on the first floor, with optional expansion to the second level adding a bonus room, third bedroom, or media room.

Interior finishes across Laurelstone homes lean toward current market standards: hardwood flooring in main living spaces, granite or quartz countertops in the kitchen, stainless steel electric appliances, tile showers in the owner’s suite, and double vanities. Most homes include a 2-car garage, a mudroom, a sunroom, and a covered patio or private courtyard. Goodall backs its homes with a 1, 2, and 10-year warranty program. Every home in the community includes lawn maintenance and exterior upkeep as part of the HOA structure, which is the defining feature of this development and a major reason buyers choose it over a traditional single-family neighborhood.

Lot sizes at Laurelstone are compact by design, typically around 0.11 acres, consistent with the cottage and low-maintenance lifestyle the community markets. Homes were built primarily in 2022 and 2023.

Amenities

Laurelstone was planned with on-site amenities that make it a self-contained neighborhood rather than just a collection of homes. The community center provides a gathering space for residents, and the community garden gives those with a green thumb a place to get involved without needing their own large yard. The dog park is a genuine draw for pet owners, and the walking trails wind through the neighborhood for residents who want low-impact exercise close to home.

Beyond the community itself, the location near TN-96 W puts residents close to Old Fort Golf Course, local parks, and a growing mix of retail and dining in this part of Murfreesboro. The Stones River Greenway, a highly regarded paved trail system running through Murfreesboro, is accessible from the broader area as well.

Schools

Laurelstone falls within Rutherford County Schools, confirmed from RealTracs MLS sales data. Elementary school assignments in the neighborhood include John Pittard Elementary and Lascassas Elementary depending on the specific address. Middle school students attend Oakland Middle School, and high school students are zoned for Oakland High School.

Rutherford County Schools is a solid district with multiple schools that have earned strong academic performance marks. For buyers with school-age children, it is always worth confirming the exact school zone assignment with the district for a specific address, as zone lines can shift. Patrick can help clarify zoning during the home search process.

Of the 4 closed sales recorded in the rolling 12-month period, Compass agents were involved on either the listing or buying side in 3 of those transactions, representing a 75% market share in this community.

Following the 2024 merger with Parks Real Estate, Compass agents are involved in approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee. For buyers, that means access to coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and the largest referral network in the country. For sellers, it means your home is positioned in front of more qualified buyers before it ever hits the public MLS.

The Compass Three Phase Marketing Strategy gives sellers a distinct advantage. Learn more about selling your home on your terms here.

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Your home is shown to a select audience of Compass buyers and agents before going public, letting you test pricing and gather feedback without accumulating days on market or triggering price history visibility.
