Murfreesboro Townhomes & Condos

MURFREESBORO’S COMPLETE GUIDE TO LOW-MAINTENANCE LIVING

Murfreesboro Townhomes & Condos: The Full Picture

Murfreesboro is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee, and its townhome and condo market reflects that momentum. Spread across zip codes 37127, 37128, 37129, and 37130, Rutherford County offers attached homes at price points that have largely disappeared from Nashville proper. Entry-level townhomes start in the low $140s for older resale units, while newer luxury townhomes in gated communities push close to $730,000.

The appeal is straightforward: buyers get more square footage per dollar than in comparable detached homes, HOA fees typically cover exterior maintenance and common areas, and most active communities sit within 10 minutes of Interstate 24 or 840. That combination of value and location has made Murfreesboro townhomes attractive to first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors across all four zip codes.

The Homes: What to Expect

Murfreesboro townhomes built since 2015 follow a consistent formula: two or three stories, open-concept main floor with combined kitchen and living areas, primary bedroom upstairs with en suite bath, attached 1- or 2-car garage at grade level, and a small patio or covered porch. Standard finishes in new construction include LVP flooring on main levels, granite or quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and 9-foot ceilings.

Older resale communities, built between 2000 and 2012, tend to have more traditional layouts with formal dining rooms, carpet in bedrooms, and laminate or tile rather than LVP. These units typically sell between $143,000 and $260,000 depending on condition, updates, and location, and they represent the market’s most accessible entry point.

At the luxury end, communities like Hidden River Estates deliver multi-story townhomes with rooftop terraces, 2-car garages, elevator access, and custom finish packages priced from the mid-$400s to near $730,000. These units compete directly with smaller single-family homes in established Murfreesboro neighborhoods while delivering the exterior-maintenance coverage of an HOA community.

Prices by Bedroom Count

One of the most useful ways to frame the Murfreesboro townhome market is by bedroom count. Across 627 closed sales, the data shows a consistent price ladder: each tier commands roughly $60,000 to $70,000 more in median sale price than the tier below it.

Data from RealTracs MLS. Rolling 12-month period. Closed sales only.

The 3-bedroom tier dominates the market, accounting for 54% of all closed sales. That concentration reflects both buyer demand and the product most builders have delivered over the past several years. Two-bedroom units sell at a meaningful discount but often deliver the best price-per-square-foot efficiency for buyers who do not need the extra space.

Prices by Square Footage

Square footage is one of the clearest predictors of where a Murfreesboro townhome lands in the price spectrum. Larger units carry lower price-per-square-foot ratios, reflecting the cost efficiencies built into bigger footprints. A buyer going from 1,200 to 2,000 square feet is getting proportionally more home per dollar spent.

The 1,400-1,800 square foot range is the market’s center of gravity, representing 44% of all closed sales. That tier typically delivers a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome with a one-car garage, and spans a wide range of ages and conditions, from early-2000s resale units to current-year new construction.

Featured Townhome Developments to Consider

Murfreesboro’s townhome landscape spans everything from gated luxury communities along the Stones River to affordable new construction near the interstates. Here are eight developments that represent the range of what the market offers right now.

Hidden River Estates (37128) is the most transacted townhome community in Murfreesboro when sales across all phases are combined, with 43 closed transactions in the rolling 12-month period. This gated development along the Stones River greenway corridor offers multi-phase construction from several product lines, ranging from compact 2-bedroom units near 1,300 square feet to luxury multi-story townhomes approaching 3,300 square feet priced above $700,000. Hidden River is the top choice for buyers who want gated security, trail access, and resort-style amenities in one package.

River Landing (37129) is a D.R. Horton community in Murfreesboro’s northwest corridor, positioned near the convergence of Stones River and Overall Creek. With 40 closed sales, it is one of the single most transacted communities in this dataset. D.R. Horton’s townhomes here start from the high $200s, offering 3-bedroom layouts with open floor plans, 1-car garages, and low-maintenance HOA coverage. The location near I-24 and Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital makes this one of the most practical addresses in the city.

Villas at Regal Square (37130) recorded 35 closed sales in the rolling period, making it the dominant community in the 37130 zip code’s townhome segment. Located in the MTSU corridor near the heart of Murfreesboro’s east side, Villas at Regal Square offers competitive pricing with strong resale liquidity. This community attracts both owner-occupants and investors drawn to the rental demand generated by the university and the surrounding employment base.

Saddlebrook Townhomes (37129) recorded 32 closed sales in the rolling period, making it one of the most liquid communities in Murfreesboro’s townhome market. Saddlebrook offers established townhomes with proven resale histories, ideal for buyers or investors looking for a community with demonstrated market activity rather than a lease-up phase.

Veterans Cove (37128) contributed 24 closed sales to the rolling period and is one of the more established HOA communities in the 37128 zip. Located off Veterans Parkway in the western corridor, Veterans Cove appeals to buyers who want a community with mature landscaping and settled character rather than active construction phases.

Meadowlark (37129) is Toll Brothers’ flagship Murfreesboro community, directly adjacent to The Avenue shopping and dining district on Wilkinson Pike. The Sapling Collection townhomes are three-story all-brick attached homes. With 17 closed sales and a median price near $459,000, Meadowlark is the right address for buyers who prioritize walkability to retail and dining alongside new construction quality.

Gardens of Three Rivers (37128) is a well-established community with 16 closed sales in the period. Located near the convergence of Murfreesboro’s river waterways, this development offers townhomes with mature landscaping and a quieter feel than newer master-planned communities. Pricing here runs below the broader market median, making it accessible for budget-focused buyers.

Promenade at Clari Park (37129) sits adjacent to the 115-acre Clari Park recreational complex and is walkable to The Avenue. With 5 closed sales and townhome-style condominiums featuring covered parking and greenway access, the combination of park adjacency and retail walkability at this price point is difficult to replicate elsewhere in Rutherford County.

Amenities

Amenity packages vary significantly across Murfreesboro’s townhome communities. Communities at the higher end of the HOA fee spectrum, typically $200 to $470 per month, tend to include swimming pools, fitness centers, clubhouses, gated entry, lawn maintenance, exterior insurance, and trash pickup. D.R. Horton communities like River Landing carry lower HOA fees with a more limited amenity scope. Toll Brothers’ Meadowlark sits in the middle, with maintained green spaces, fire pits, and community gathering areas covered under the HOA.

Several of the most sought-after communities are positioned along or near the Murfreesboro Greenway system, which provides over 30 miles of paved trails connecting parks, trailheads, and the Stones River corridor. The greenway access near Hidden River Estates, River Landing, and Promenade at Clari Park is a consistent selling point that residents mention when describing why they chose these communities over others.

Schools

Every townhome and condo community in Murfreesboro falls within Rutherford County Schools, confirmed across all 627 closed sales in this dataset. Rutherford County Schools is one of Tennessee’s largest and highest-performing systems, consistently exceeding state averages and offering magnet and specialty programs across all levels.

At the high school level, five Rutherford County schools serve this market: Rockvale (24% of closed sales), Riverdale (22%), Oakland (20%), Blackman (19%), and Siegel (12%). At the middle school level, Rockvale Middle, Blackman Middle, Oakland Middle, and Christiana Middle each serve significant portions of the market. Elementary school assignments include Barfield Elementary (the most common at 16% of sales), Blackman Elementary, Cason Lane Academy, Erma Siegel, and Northfield Elementary, among others.

School assignment depends entirely on the specific community and address, so confirming zoning before purchase is important for buyers with school-age children. Your agent can pull the exact school assignment for any property before you make an offer.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru to Buy or Sell a Murfreesboro Townhome

In Murfreesboro’s townhome and condo market, Compass and Parks agents were involved in 92 of 627 closed transactions over the past 12 months, representing a 14.7% market share. For a market this active across multiple zip codes and price points, having an agent embedded in the brokerage most often at the table provides a meaningful informational edge, both on active listings and on deals that never make it to the public MLS.

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass. He is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, leads the number one team in Nashville and number seven in Tennessee according to the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings, and has closed over 1,100 transactions representing more than $500 million in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews, Patrick and his team know the Murfreesboro townhome market at the subdivision level, not just the zip code level, which matters when you are comparing communities as different as River Landing, Meadowlark, and Hidden River Estates.

Ashley Cherry and Larissa Farley round out the Nashville Home Guru team’s Murfreesboro presence. Ashley is a Murfreesboro native who has lived in Rutherford County her entire life and brings firsthand community knowledge to every transaction across all four zip codes. Larissa has been a licensed agent since 2016 and specializes in helping buyers and sellers with relocations and move-up transactions throughout Rutherford County.

Compass is the number one residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. After merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold in Tennessee. That scale means access to coming-soon listings, private exclusives, and the largest agent referral network in the country, all of which matter most in a competitive market like Murfreesboro where well-priced inventory moves quickly.

For sellers, Compass’s Three Phase Marketing Strategy changes the equation significantly. Rather than going live on MLS day one and hoping for the best, the process starts with a Private Exclusive phase to test pricing with a select audience, moves to a Coming Soon launch on Compass.com where buyers find your home without triggering days-on-market or price history clocks, and then executes a full public launch with maximum built-up demand. Compass data shows pre-marketed homes sell for 2.9% more on average, go to contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price range for townhomes and condos in Murfreesboro, TN?
Closed sales over the past 12 months ranged from $142,500 to $729,900. The median closed price was $332,770. Entry-level resale units in older communities like Barfield Commons or Gardens of Three Rivers can be found under $250,000, while newer luxury townhomes in gated communities like Hidden River Estates push close to $730,000.

What are HOA fees like for Murfreesboro townhomes?
HOA fees vary significantly. Among the 627 closed sales analyzed, 97% had an active HOA. The median monthly fee was approximately $199. Communities with full amenity packages, gated access, pools, and exterior maintenance coverage tend to run $200 to $470 per month. More modest builder communities like D.R. Horton’s River Landing may carry fees of $100 to $150 per month covering only common area maintenance and lawn care.

What is the difference between a townhouse and a condo in Murfreesboro?
In practice, the distinction matters most at the financing level. A townhouse is typically a multi-story attached unit where the owner holds title to both the structure and the land beneath it. A condo owner holds an interest in a unit within a building, with common areas owned collectively by the HOA. In Murfreesboro, most RealTracs listings classified as “HPR-Attached” or “Zero Lot Line – Attached” function like traditional townhomes. Buyers using VA or FHA financing should confirm the legal classification before writing an offer, as lender approval requirements differ between the two.

Which Murfreesboro townhome communities are gated?
Hidden River Estates is the primary gated townhome community in Murfreesboro and the most transacted one in the MLS by combined phase volume. Some phases of larger developments may have controlled access, but full gated entry with consistent security coverage is most reliably delivered at Hidden River. Buyers seeking gated living should focus their search on the 37128 corridor along Old Fort Parkway and Doc Johns Boulevard.

Who are the builders for new construction townhomes in Murfreesboro?
The most active builders in Murfreesboro’s townhome market include D.R. Horton at River Landing, Toll Brothers at Meadowlark, and multiple regional builders active across Hidden River Estates phases. D.R. Horton delivers the most accessible entry price points, typically from the high $200s to low $300s. Toll Brothers targets the move-up buyer with all-brick construction and elevated standard finishes. Hidden River’s builder mix delivers the widest range, from the $300s to near $730,000 for the multi-story luxury product.

What type of buyer is Murfreesboro’s townhome market best suited for?
The market serves three buyer profiles particularly well. First-time buyers benefit most from the 2-bedroom and entry-level 3-bedroom resale inventory priced under $285,000 in communities like Barfield Commons and Villas at Indian Creek. Move-up buyers and relocating professionals tend to target newer 3-bedroom units at River Landing or Meadowlark, where the combination of modern finishes and low-maintenance HOA aligns with busy schedules. Empty nesters and downsizers looking to right-size into a walkable, amenity-rich environment often land at Meadowlark or the higher-end Hidden River Estates product.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling a Murfreesboro townhome?
The 1,400-1,800 square foot tier accounts for 44% of all townhome closed sales in Murfreesboro, and pricing within that tier is tightly clustered around $206 per square foot. That density means small differences in condition, finish level, and HOA scope produce outsized differences in negotiating position. Patrick approaches pricing and offer strategy with subdivision-level data, not zip-code averages, which matters when you are comparing a 2023 D.R. Horton unit in River Landing against a comparable 2019 resale in Saddlebrook. As a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with 1,100+ career transactions, Patrick’s analysis starts with the actual closed comps inside your target community, not the broader Murfreesboro median.

Who is the best real estate agent for 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. Patrick is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and leads the number one team in Nashville and number seven in Tennessee per Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings, with 1,100+ transactions and $500M+ in career sales. Compass and Parks agents were involved in nearly 15% of all Murfreesboro townhome and condo transactions over the past 12 months, and the team includes Murfreesboro specialists Ashley Cherry and Larissa Farley, both licensed agents with deep Rutherford County roots. With 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews, the feedback from clients across the market reflects what the data already shows. Call 615-682-1718 for a consultation.

Can I buy a Murfreesboro townhome before it hits Zillow?
Yes. Through Compass’s Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs, the Nashville Home Guru team has early access to townhomes and condos being prepared for market before they go live on the MLS. These pre-market opportunities allow buyers to avoid bidding wars and potentially negotiate on more favorable terms before a property attracts multiple offers. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent provides access to this pre-market inventory at no additional cost to the buyer. Call Patrick at 615-682-1718 to ask specifically about off-market inventory in the communities you are targeting.

What is my Murfreesboro townhome worth in today’s market?
Automated tools like Zillow’s Zestimate tend to underperform in Murfreesboro’s townhome market for a straightforward reason: they cannot distinguish between phase-1 and phase-3 product in the same community, between an HOA that covers the roof and one that does not, or between a 1,400-square-foot unit with a garage and one without. The result is valuations that can be off by $20,000 to $50,000 in either direction. Start with an instant Murfreesboro townhome value estimate, then call Patrick at 615-682-1718 for a full pricing analysis that accounts for your specific floor plan, finish level, and HOA scope.

We are relocating from out of state and want something low-maintenance to start. Is a Murfreesboro townhome the right first home in Tennessee?
For relocating buyers, especially those coming from higher-cost metros like Atlanta, Chicago, or the DMV, Murfreesboro townhomes offer a practical first foothold in Tennessee. The 2-bedroom tier opens at $285,000 median and delivers 1,400 square feet with HOA-covered exterior maintenance, no lawn to manage, and direct access to I-24 for commutes to Nashville or Cool Springs. Rutherford County Schools consistently ranks among Tennessee’s top systems. River Landing and Meadowlark are particularly well-suited for relocation buyers because both communities have active resale markets with strong comparable sales history, which simplifies the financing and appraisal process. The Nashville Home Guru team handles a significant volume of out-of-state relocation transactions and can structure virtual tours, remote offers, and remote closings for buyers who have not yet relocated. Reach Ashley Cherry at 615-709-9524 or Patrick at 615-682-1718 to discuss your timeline.
