Lillard Farm

ESTABLISHED MURFREESBORO COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life in Lillard Farm

Lillard Farm sits off Halls Hill Pike in the 37130 zip code of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, placing it squarely in Rutherford County. Homes here are addressed on Lillard Road, May Lane, and Raider Drive in a low-traffic, residential corridor that feels removed from Murfreesboro’s growth zones while still being minutes from the city’s core amenities.

The community’s location gives residents quick access to Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro Medical Center on Medical Center Parkway, and the dining and retail along South Church Street and Old Fort Parkway. Barfield Crescent Park, one of Rutherford County’s largest public parks, is a short drive east. Commuters heading to Nashville travel I-24 or US-41 north for a drive that typically runs 35 to 45 minutes depending on destination.

What sets Lillard Farm apart from most Murfreesboro neighborhoods is acreage. Lot sizes here range from under an acre to over five acres, a rarity within the 37130 zip code. Buyers who want room to breathe, space for a garden or workshop, or privacy from neighboring structures find very few alternatives at this price point in Murfreesboro proper.

The Homes in Lillard Farm

Lillard Farm is an established mid-century community with homes built primarily between 1961 and 1970. The construction quality reflects the era: solid all-brick builds and partial brick with vinyl siding are both represented, and the bones of these homes tend to be sturdy and well-suited to renovation. Square footage runs from approximately 1,400 to 3,340 square feet, giving buyers options from right-sized ranch homes to more expansive single-story and two-story layouts.

Bedroom counts in recent sales ranged from 2 to 3, with 2 to 3 full bathrooms. Several homes in this community feature ranch-style floor plans, which remain in strong demand among buyers looking to avoid stairs or who prefer open, single-level living. The combination of mid-century construction, large lots, and no HOA makes Lillard Farm a consistent draw for buyers who want ownership without restrictions on parking, outbuildings, or property use.

There is no homeowners association in Lillard Farm. No annual dues, no architectural review, and no rules governing exterior colors, fencing, or accessory structures. For buyers who place a high value on autonomy over their property, that is a meaningful distinction from most Murfreesboro communities built in the last 20 years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lillard Farm

What do homes in Lillard Farm cost?

Closed sales over the past 12 months ranged from $299,200 to $1,050,000, with a median of $347,500. The high-end figure reflects a large-acreage parcel that does not represent the typical home sale in this community. For a standard 3-bedroom ranch or two-story on under an acre, buyers should plan for a range of roughly $299,000 to $400,000. Price per square foot ranged from $159 to $314, with the variance driven largely by lot size, construction quality, and whether the home has been updated.

When were the homes in Lillard Farm built?

Homes in Lillard Farm were built between 1961 and 1970, making this one of Murfreesboro’s established mid-century communities. Buyers can expect solid construction, typically all brick or partial brick with vinyl siding, on lots ranging from 0.76 to 5 acres. Many of the homes have been partially or fully updated over the decades, and some still offer renovation upside for buyers willing to do the work.

Is there an HOA in Lillard Farm?

No. Lillard Farm has no homeowners association and no annual dues. There is no architectural review committee, no restrictions on exterior modifications, and no rules governing outbuildings, parking, or fence styles. For buyers who want full autonomy over their property, the absence of an HOA is one of the most appealing features of this neighborhood.

What schools serve Lillard Farm?

Lillard Farm is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. The school assignment is Kittrell Elementary, Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School, and Oakland High School. Rutherford County Schools is a separate district from Metro Nashville Public Schools. Every Murfreesboro community, including Lillard Farm, is served by Rutherford County regardless of proximity to Nashville.

How many homes are in Lillard Farm?

Lillard Farm is a small, low-density community. Only 4 homes closed in the past 12-month period, which reflects both the limited size of the neighborhood and the typical low turnover in established mid-century communities. With lot sizes up to 5 acres and addresses spread across Lillard Road, May Lane, and Raider Drive, this is not a dense subdivision but rather a collection of individually sited properties in a defined area off Halls Hill Pike.

What are the lot sizes like in Lillard Farm?

Lots in Lillard Farm are unusually large by Murfreesboro standards. Recent closed sales recorded acreage ranging from 0.76 to 5.0 acres. This is a defining characteristic of the community and a primary reason buyers target it specifically. At this price range in the 37130 zip code, properties with over an acre are genuinely rare.

Is Lillard Farm a good fit for someone wanting land without leaving Murfreesboro?

Yes, and it is one of a small number of Murfreesboro communities where that combination exists under $500,000. Buyers who want a ranch-style or two-story home on three-quarters of an acre or more, with no HOA and easy access to South Church Street, Medical Center Parkway, and I-24, find Lillard Farm checks boxes that newer subdivisions simply cannot. It suits buyers ranging from growing families who want outdoor space to remote workers who need room for a home office or workshop building.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Lillard Farm?

With only four closed sales in twelve months, Lillard Farm is a thin market where pricing decisions carry real consequences. Patrick studies the variance between the $159 and $314 per-square-foot range in detail before advising a seller on list price or a buyer on offer strategy. The $314 PPSF sale on a smaller, presumably well-updated home versus the $159 PPSF on larger square footage illustrates how renovation quality and lot utility drive wildly different outcomes here. Patrick’s practice of pulling the full RealTracs data, not just automated estimates, is what allows NHG to give clients accurate guidance in low-inventory communities like this one.

Patrick Higgins of Nashville Home Guru at Compass is consistently recognized as one of the top agents in Murfreesboro and Rutherford County. He is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and leads the number one team in Nashville by Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings, placing in the top 10 in Tennessee.

Can I access a Lillard Farm home before it hits Zillow?

Yes. Through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs, Nashville Home Guru clients gain access to properties before they are made publicly available on Zillow, Realtor.com, or other portal sites. In a community as small as Lillard Farm, a coming-soon opportunity can mean the difference between competing against multiple offers and negotiating directly with a motivated seller. There is no additional cost to buyers for this access.

What is my Lillard Farm home worth in today’s market?

Automated tools like Zillow’s Zestimate struggle in Lillard Farm because of the small comparable pool and the extreme range in lot sizes and construction types. A 1,400 square foot brick ranch on 0.76 acres prices very differently from a 3,340 square foot home on 5 acres, but algorithms treating them as rough equivalents produce unreliable estimates. For an accurate valuation, use the Hifello tool below for a starting point and then call Patrick directly to layer in the details automated tools cannot capture.

We have owned our Lillard Farm home for over 20 years. How do we price it right?

Long-term owners in Lillard Farm face a pricing challenge that is specific to this community: the very small number of annual sales means there may be only two or three true comparables available in any given window, and those comps can be dramatically different from each other due to lot size and renovation level. The right price for a home that has been well-maintained over two decades with original or partially updated features is not the same as the price for a fully renovated home on five acres. Patrick will pull the full Rutherford County dataset, identify the comparables that actually mirror your property’s lot size and construction type, and build a pricing strategy that reflects those differences rather than averaging over outliers.
