Maples Retreat

MURFREESBORO’S ALL-BRICK TOWNHOME COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Maples Retreat sits just off Joe B. Jackson Parkway in the 37127 zip code of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The community is part of The Maples master-planned development, placing residents within minutes of I-24, the Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital campus, and the dense retail and dining corridor along Medical Center Parkway. Grocery stores, urgent care, and everyday shopping are all less than five minutes away.

Murfreesboro is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee and one of the fastest-growing in the country. The city’s growth has brought an expanded restaurant scene, MTSU, and convenient access to Nashville via I-24 in roughly 35 to 45 minutes. For buyers who want modern all-brick construction, first-floor primary suites, and a low-maintenance lifestyle at a price point well under $450,000, Maples Retreat is one of the few townhome options in southeast Murfreesboro that checks all of those boxes.

The Homes

Every home in Maples Retreat is built with all-brick exterior construction, a rarity at this price point in Rutherford County. Floor plans range from around 2,026 to 2,300 square feet and are offered in both single-story-with-bonus and two-story configurations. The most common layout is a two-story plan with the primary suite on the main level, an open kitchen with granite countertops and a pantry, a loft or teen suite upstairs with its own full bath and walk-in closet, and a covered porch. The single-story plan features three bedrooms and two baths with a bonus above the garage, laminate flooring throughout the main areas, and tile in wet spaces.

Standard features across the community include two-car garages with openers, soft-close cabinets, kitchen islands, and access to The Maples subdivision amenities. Lot sizes are modest given the townhome format, which keeps exterior maintenance low. All closed sales in the rolling 12-month period were all-brick construction, confirming the development’s consistent build quality.

Amenities

Maples Retreat residents have access to The Maples subdivision amenities, which include a community pool, tennis courts, and a playground. These shared amenities are a significant draw for buyers comparing Maples Retreat to other townhome communities in the 37127 zip code that lack similar recreational facilities. Underground utilities contribute to the clean streetscape throughout the development.

The covered porches on each unit add private outdoor living space. Combined with the two-car garages, residents get more function per square foot than many comparable townhome developments in Middle Tennessee. The HOA handles exterior maintenance responsibilities, making Maples Retreat a practical fit for busy professionals, downsizers, or anyone who does not want to spend weekends on yard work.

Schools

Maples Retreat is located in Rutherford County and is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Based on closed sales data from RealTracs MLS, homes in this community are assigned to Buchanan Elementary School, Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School, and Riverdale High School. School assignments should always be verified directly with Rutherford County Schools prior to purchase, as boundaries can change.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

Over the past 12 months, a Compass or Parks agent was not the listing or selling office in any of the four closed sales in Maples Retreat specifically, which is common in a small, near-new community where the builder handles much of its own inventory. Across the broader Murfreesboro and Rutherford County market, Compass represents approximately 1 in 4 homes sold in Tennessee following the 2024 merger with Parks Real Estate. That scale translates directly to buyer and seller advantages that neighborhood-specific offices simply cannot match.

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass and is a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent. The team ranks number one in Nashville and number seven in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings, with 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews from clients across Rutherford County, the team’s track record is well documented, and Murfreesboro specialists Ashley Cherry and Larissa Farley round out the local team. Whether you are buying a townhome in Maples Retreat or selling one, the team’s depth of market data on townhome pricing in Rutherford County gives you a real edge at the negotiating table.

Compass is the number one residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. For sellers in Maples Retreat, the Compass Three Phase Marketing Strategy is designed to generate maximum demand before a home ever hits the public MLS. Phase 1, the Compass Private Exclusive, markets your home to the largest agent network in the country before going public, so you can test your price and gather feedback without accumulating days on market or price history that buyers use to negotiate against you. Phase 2, Compass Coming Soon, puts your listing live on Compass.com and promotes it to thousands of active buyers before the public MLS launch, preserving your negotiating leverage. Phase 3 is the full public launch across all major real estate platforms with built-up demand already in place. Compass data shows pre-marketed homes sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to need a price reduction.

What type of construction are the homes in Maples Retreat?
Every home in Maples Retreat that has sold in the past 12 months was listed as all-brick construction. This is a meaningful differentiator in the Murfreesboro townhome market, where many communities use vinyl or fiber cement siding. All-brick construction typically means lower long-term exterior maintenance costs and stronger curb appeal retention over time.

Does Maples Retreat have a pool and other amenities?
Yes. Maples Retreat residents have access to The Maples community amenities, which include a pool, tennis courts, and a playground. Underground utilities are also noted in MLS records. Covered porches and two-car garages are standard on all units.

What type of buyer is Maples Retreat best suited for?
Maples Retreat is a strong fit for several buyer profiles. First-time buyers get all-brick construction, modern finishes, and community amenities at a price well below the Murfreesboro single-family median. Downsizers benefit from the primary-suite-on-main floor plan and HOA-managed exterior maintenance. Remote workers and Nashville commuters appreciate the I-24 access and the low-maintenance lifestyle. Investors looking at the Rutherford County rental market will note consistent rental demand driven by MTSU and the area’s employment base.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Maples Retreat?
With only four closed sales and a nearly identical price band, accurate pricing in Maples Retreat comes from floor plan, finish level, and HOA tier rather than a broad townhome average. Patrick prices from the closest comparables and, for sellers, pairs that with the Three Phase Marketing Strategy; for buyers, he leans on Compass off-market access in a community where new inventory moves quickly. As a seven-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with 1,100+ career transactions and deep Rutherford County townhome data, his read on this micro-market is built from the numbers.

Who is the best realtor for Maples Retreat townhomes in Murfreesboro TN?
Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass are consistently ranked among the top real estate teams in Tennessee. The team holds the number one ranking in Nashville and number seven in Tennessee by Wall Street Journal RealTrends, with 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews from verified clients.

Can I buy a Maples Retreat home before it hits Zillow?
Yes. As a Compass agent, Patrick Higgins has access to Compass Private Exclusives and Coming Soon listings that never appear on Zillow or Realtor.com. In a tight inventory market like Murfreesboro’s 37127 zip code, off-market access can be the difference between finding your next home quickly and missing out entirely. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent costs you nothing and opens up inventory you cannot find on your own.
