ESTABLISHED BRICK COMMUNITY IN NORTH MURFREESBORO

Location & Daily Life in Long Meadow

Long Meadow sits in north Murfreesboro in zip code 37129, positioned off Haynes Drive in one of the city’s more established residential pockets. The neighborhood puts residents close to Thompson Lane and Medical Center Parkway without sitting directly on either corridor, giving it a quieter feel while keeping everyday errands well within reach. Interstate 24 at Exit 81 is a short drive north, making the commute toward Nashville straightforward for buyers working downtown or in the midtown corridor.

The surrounding area has the character of the older, settled north side of Murfreesboro. Mature trees line the roads, and the lots in this area run larger than what you’d find in newer sections of town. Grocery options, urgent care, and the main commercial strip along Medical Center Parkway are all within a five-minute drive. Vanderbilt University Medical Center at Saint Thomas Rutherford is minutes away, which is a practical consideration for healthcare workers and families alike.

Streets within Long Meadow include Inverness Drive, Long Meadow Drive, and Newcastle Drive. The neighborhood is a compact, well-defined community rather than a sprawling multi-phase development, which keeps the inventory controlled and the neighborhood character consistent. Buyers who prioritize established character, reasonable lot sizes, and proximity to north Murfreesboro’s amenities consistently land here when searching the 37129 zip code.

The Homes in Long Meadow

Long Meadow is an established single-family community with homes built around 1991. Construction in the neighborhood reflects the building standards of that era: all-brick and partial brick with vinyl siding are both present, and homes were designed for practical family living with floor plans in the 2,000-square-foot range. The one confirmed closed sale in the past 12 months shows a 4-bedroom, 2-bath home at 2,068 square feet on a 0.38-acre lot, which is a meaningful amount of land by modern Murfreesboro subdivision standards.

The lot dimension on that sale ran 41.53 x 133.08 feet irregular, typical of this generation of north Murfreesboro plats. Two-car garages are standard. Interior finishes vary given the age of the homes, with some properties updated over the years with new flooring, kitchen renovations, and modern bathrooms while others remain in more original condition and are priced accordingly. There is no HOA in Long Meadow, which gives owners flexibility in how they maintain and improve their properties without association fees or approval requirements.

The current active listing at 252 Newcastle Drive is listed at $523,900 for a 3-bedroom home at 2,724 square feet, giving a sense of where pricing is today. At roughly $192 per square foot, it reflects the value buyers find in this part of 37129 compared to newer construction at higher prices per square foot in other Murfreesboro zip codes.

Amenities

Long Meadow has no homeowners association and no community amenities such as a pool or clubhouse. That is by design for buyers who want ownership without monthly fees or association oversight. The absence of an HOA means no architectural review requirements, no parking restrictions beyond city code, and no recurring dues to budget for.

The location compensates for the lack of on-site amenities through strong access to public recreation. Veterans Memorial Park and the Murfreesboro Greenway system are accessible from this part of town, giving residents options for walking, cycling, and outdoor activities. Stones River National Battlefield is within a short drive and offers one of the area’s most historic and scenic outdoor experiences. Medical Center Parkway brings Vanderbilt’s hospital complex, retail, and multiple restaurant options within a practical daily range.

Schools

Long Meadow is served by Rutherford County Schools. Based on addresses in the current MLS data, the assigned schools are Northfield Elementary School, Siegel Middle School, and Siegel High School. Siegel High School is one of the stronger high schools in Rutherford County, with a reputation for academics, fine arts, and competitive athletics programs. The Siegel school zone is a consistent draw for families purchasing in the 37129 zip code.

School zone boundaries can change between academic years. Always verify current assignments directly with Rutherford County Schools at rcstn.net before making a purchase decision based on school zoning.

Frequently Asked Questions About Long Meadow in Murfreesboro TN

What are home prices in Long Meadow?

The most recent closed sale in Long Meadow came in at $490,000 for a 4-bedroom, 2,068-square-foot home, reflecting a price per square foot of approximately $237. The current active listing at 252 Newcastle Drive is listed at $523,900 for a 3-bedroom home at 2,724 square feet. Pricing in the neighborhood is driven primarily by square footage, update level, and lot position, with the no-HOA status adding a value premium relative to similar-sized homes in communities that carry monthly dues.

When was Long Meadow built?

Long Meadow was developed around 1991. Homes in the neighborhood reflect that era of construction, with brick and vinyl siding exteriors, traditional floor plans, and two-car garages. At roughly 30-plus years old, these homes have had ample time for owner updates, and condition varies considerably across the inventory. Buyers will find a range from original condition homes to fully renovated properties with modern kitchens and updated baths.

Does Long Meadow have an HOA?

No. Long Meadow has no homeowners association and no monthly or annual HOA fees. MLS data confirms no association on closed sales. This is a meaningful distinction for buyers comparing Long Meadow to newer Murfreesboro communities where HOA fees of $40 to $100 per month are common. Over a 10-year ownership window, the absence of HOA dues represents a significant cost savings, and owners have full discretion over property improvements without association approval.

What schools serve Long Meadow?

Long Meadow is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Current MLS data shows Northfield Elementary School, Siegel Middle School, and Siegel High School serving Long Meadow addresses. The Siegel school zone is one of the more sought-after in Murfreesboro, particularly at the high school level. Always confirm current zoning directly with Rutherford County Schools before purchasing, as boundary lines are updated periodically.

How many homes are in Long Meadow?

Long Meadow is a smaller, established community with a limited number of single-family homes on Inverness Drive, Long Meadow Drive, and Newcastle Drive. Because the neighborhood is compact and turnover is modest, homes here tend to generate concentrated buyer interest when they do come to market. The limited comparable base means pricing strategy matters more than in larger subdivisions where dozens of recent sales create an easy market anchor.

What type of homes are in Long Meadow?

Long Meadow consists of single-family site-built homes built around 1991, generally in the 2,000 to 2,700 square foot range. Construction is a mix of all-brick and brick with vinyl siding. Homes sit on lots that run approximately one-third to nearly half an acre, larger than what most newer Murfreesboro subdivisions offer at comparable price points. Two-car garages are standard, and floor plans are traditional designs with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 2.5 bathrooms.

Is Long Meadow a good fit for families or move-up buyers?

Long Meadow is a strong fit for move-up buyers and families who want more land than newer subdivisions provide at a comparable price, without the recurring cost of HOA fees. The Siegel school zone is a top consideration for families with school-age children, and the proximity to Medical Center Parkway makes it practical for healthcare workers. At $490,000 for a 2,000-plus-square-foot home on a third-of-an-acre lot, buyers get a value proposition that newer 37129 construction at similar prices rarely matches on lot size.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Long Meadow?

Long Meadow’s pricing complexity comes from its limited comp pool. With only one closed sale in the past 12 months at $490,000, a seller in this neighborhood can’t simply pull five recent comps and build a price from there. Patrick tracks extended comp windows across all of 37129 and pulls from adjacent neighborhoods in the Siegel zone to build a defensible pricing model. That same analysis tells buyers when a listed price is justified versus when it’s pricing off of nothing. For a neighborhood this size, working with an agent who knows the surrounding streets is not optional, it’s the difference between a transaction that closes and one that sits.

Who is the best realtor for Long Meadow in Murfreesboro TN?

Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass are consistently recognized among the top real estate teams serving Rutherford County. In the 37129 zip code, Compass agents represented 17.8% of all closed sales over the past 12 months, covering 178 of 1,001 transactions. Patrick is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads the number one team in Nashville and top 10 in Tennessee by volume according to the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings, and has 1,100+ closed transactions and $500M+ in career sales across Middle Tennessee. The team carries 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews from clients across Rutherford County and the greater Nashville area.

Can I access a Long Meadow home before it hits Zillow?

Yes. Through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs, Nashville Home Guru clients can access Long Meadow homes before they appear on Zillow, Redfin, or the open MLS. Compass maintains the largest off-market inventory network in the country, and in a small neighborhood like Long Meadow where homes rarely turn over, that early access can be the only way to get in front of a property before competing offers drive the price up. There is no additional cost to buyers for this access.

What is my Long Meadow home worth in today’s market?

Automated valuation tools like Zillow’s Zestimate struggle in small neighborhoods like Long Meadow where there are only one or two closed sales per year. Without enough comps to anchor the model, these tools overfit to stale data or pull from dissimilar homes in adjacent neighborhoods. A home’s actual condition, update level, lot position, and garage configuration all influence value in ways an algorithm can’t capture. Patrick’s home value tool at nashvillehomeguru.hifello.com gives a more informed starting point, and a direct call to Patrick at 615-682-1718 gives you the full analysis.

We’ve owned our Long Meadow home for over 20 years. How do we price it right in today’s market?

Long-term sellers in Long Meadow face a specific challenge: the comp pool is thin, and the gap between original-condition homes and updated homes can be substantial. The one closed sale in the past year came in at $490,000 on a 2,068-square-foot home, but the current active listing at 2,724 square feet is asking $523,900. The delta between those two data points tells a story about size and condition, but it doesn’t tell you where your specific home falls without a detailed interior assessment. Patrick’s approach starts with the home itself, not the algorithm. He’ll review your finishes, lot position, garage, and any improvements against the full 37129 comp window and build a pricing recommendation from actual evidence. That process takes longer than pulling a Zestimate, but it’s the difference between leaving money on the table and getting what your home is actually worth.

We’re relocating from out of state. Is Long Meadow the right neighborhood for our family?

Nashville Home Guru works with relocating families from Georgia, Michigan, Illinois, Virginia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin on a regular basis, and north Murfreesboro in the 37129 zip code comes up frequently for buyers prioritizing school quality and proximity to Medical Center Parkway employers. Long Meadow offers Siegel school zone access, no HOA fees, lot sizes that are hard to replicate in newer communities, and pricing in the $490,000 to $525,000 range that competes favorably with comparable homes in similarly regarded school zones across Middle Tennessee. Patrick and the Nashville Home Guru team regularly facilitate remote showings, video walkthroughs, and out-of-state closings for relocating clients.
