North Side Estates

MURFREESBORO’S UPSCALE ALL-BRICK COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

North Side Estates sits in the 37130 zip code on the northeastern side of Murfreesboro, tucked along the Stones River corridor in Rutherford County. The neighborhood feeds directly onto Veterans Parkway and Lascassas Pike, giving residents a straightforward drive to downtown Murfreesboro in about 10 minutes and Interstate 24 in roughly 15. For day-to-day needs, the Gateway corridor along Old Fort Parkway is close at hand, with Costco, Target, Publix, and a wide range of dining options all within a short drive.

The area has a quiet, established feel while still being close to everything that makes Murfreesboro one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee. Stones River National Battlefield and Greenway are nearby for outdoor recreation, and Middle Tennessee State University is just a few miles southwest. Families appreciate the location in Rutherford County Schools, which assigns students to Lascassas Elementary, Oakland Middle School, and Oakland High School — one of the more sought-after school assignments on the eastern side of Murfreesboro.

The neighborhood itself is low-traffic and walkable within its streets, with level lots, underground utilities, and a clean suburban character. Lot sizes averaging around 0.35 to 0.43 acres give homeowners meaningful yard space without the burden of a sprawling estate.

The Homes

North Side Estates is a smaller, boutique subdivision that draws buyers specifically looking for all-brick construction at a price point well below what comparable brick homes command in Williamson County. Every home reviewed in the MLS data carries all-brick exteriors, which is notably rare in this part of Rutherford County and accounts for the neighborhood’s premium relative to surrounding communities.

Homes were built primarily between 2018 and 2022. Floor plans run from approximately 2,841 to 3,636 square feet, with four-bedroom layouts the standard configuration. Most plans put the primary suite and one or two additional bedrooms on the main floor, with a fourth bedroom upstairs — an arrangement that works well for families who want multigenerational flexibility or a quiet main-level bedroom setup. Three-car garages appear on several homes, which is a genuine differentiator in this price range.

Interior finishes are well above builder-grade. Hardwood floors throughout the main level and stairs, custom cabinetry, granite counters in kitchens and baths, tiled showers in primary baths, and fireplaces in the living room are common features. Some homes include coffee bars and bonus rooms. Plantation shutters, privacy fencing, and custom shelving have been added as upgrades by some owners. The general quality level positions these homes as turnkey for buyers who want move-in ready without the trade-off of vinyl siding or fiber cement.

HOA fees run just $15 to $30 per month, which is among the lowest for a subdivision in this price range anywhere in Middle Tennessee. There are no community amenities driving that fee — it covers underground utilities maintenance and common area upkeep — so buyers are not paying for a pool or clubhouse they may not use.

Amenities

North Side Estates is not an amenity-heavy community by design. The neighborhood was developed without a pool, clubhouse, or common recreation areas — which is why the HOA fee stays at $15 per month. Buyers here are typically drawn to the quality of the homes themselves and the surrounding area’s resources rather than on-site amenities.

Within a few miles, residents have access to Stones River Greenway, a multi-use trail system that connects to broader Murfreesboro trail networks and the National Battlefield. Barfield Crescent Park, one of Rutherford County’s largest parks, is a short drive with sports fields, disc golf, and open green space. The Murfreesboro YMCA, numerous fitness centers, and recreational sports leagues are all accessible within 15 minutes.

Shopping and dining along Veterans Parkway and the Gateway corridor put everyday conveniences within easy reach. Murfreesboro’s Medical Center of Tennessee and Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital are both accessible for healthcare. The proximity to MTSU also means the area benefits from a variety of cultural events, performing arts, and community programming throughout the year.

Schools

Homes in North Side Estates are located in Rutherford County and are zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Based on MLS data, the assigned schools are:

Elementary: Lascassas Elementary School
Middle: Oakland Middle School
High School: Oakland High School

Oakland High School consistently ranks among the stronger public high schools on the eastern side of Murfreesboro and draws families specifically because of its academic programming and extracurricular depth. Rutherford County Schools is one of the larger school systems in Tennessee and has expanded its facilities and staffing in recent years to keep pace with the area’s growth.

Families considering private options have access to several schools in the greater Murfreesboro area, including Ezell-Harding Christian School and Siegel High School’s surrounding cluster. Always verify school assignments directly with Rutherford County Schools before making a purchase decision, as boundaries do change.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru to Buy or Sell in North Side Estates

North Side Estates is a small subdivision, and that cuts both ways. There are fewer homes to compete with when you sell, but there is also less comparable data to lean on when pricing. Getting either transaction right requires a team with deep Rutherford County experience and access to data that goes beyond what is publicly available.

Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass have completed over 1,100 transactions across Middle Tennessee, with $500M+ in career residential sales. Patrick has been named a RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent six consecutive times and leads the #1 real estate team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee according to the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. After merging with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass agents now represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee — a market presence that directly benefits buyers and sellers in communities like North Side Estates by creating a wider referral network, more buyer leads, and access to inventory that never hits the public MLS.

For sellers, Compass’s Three Phase Marketing Strategy is one of the most effective tools available in the current market:

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Your home is marketed to a select audience of buyer-agent networks before going public. This generates early demand and price feedback without exposing your list history.
Phase 2 – Compass Coming Soon: Your home appears on Compass.com, building buyer interest before the official MLS launch. Buyers see the home without a days-on-market clock ticking.
Phase 3 – Public Launch: Your home goes live on MLS and all third-party sites with maximum built demand already in place.

Sellers who use this pre-market approach close at 2.9% higher prices, sell 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to face a price reduction compared to homes that launch directly to the public market. Learn more at nashvillehome.guru/sell-your-home-on-your-terms/.

Are homes in North Side Estates all-brick?
Yes. Every home reviewed in MLS records for North Side Estates features all-brick exterior construction. This is a defining characteristic of the neighborhood and distinguishes it from most other subdivisions in the 37130 zip code, where brick or stone accents on a fiber cement or vinyl body are far more common at this price point.

When were the homes in North Side Estates built?

How many homes are in North Side Estates?
North Side Estates is a smaller boutique subdivision with a limited number of lots. Fewer than 10 homes have appeared in MLS records, making it a tight-knit community where homes rarely turn over and neighbors tend to know one another. This also means that when a home does come available, buyers have limited options and competition can be meaningful.

What type of buyer is North Side Estates best suited for?
North Side Estates is a strong fit for buyers who want all-brick construction and generous square footage without crossing into the $800,000-plus range that similar quality commands in Williamson County. Families appreciate the Oakland school zoning and the level lot sizes averaging around 0.4 acres. Move-up buyers coming from smaller Rutherford County homes often find North Side Estates hits the right balance of quality, location, and value. The neighborhood also appeals to buyers who prioritize a low-traffic, low-density environment over on-site amenities.
