Olympic Springs

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED FAMILY COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Olympic Springs is an established single-family neighborhood in west Murfreesboro, Tennessee, situated off New Salem Highway in the 37128 zip code. The subdivision sits within Rutherford County, putting residents in the Rockvale school zone and within easy reach of everything that makes this part of Murfreesboro attractive to families and long-term homeowners alike.

Homes are spread across streets including Adonis Drive, Athens Drive, Olympic Springs Boulevard, Pacific Place, Pecan Ridge Drive, River Rock Boulevard, and Spartan Court. The surrounding street grid is calm and neighborhood-scale, with most lots running between a quarter and a third of an acre. The area feels genuinely residential rather than transitional, which is part of what keeps demand steady here.

For daily errands, residents have strong access to the commercial corridor along New Salem Highway and Veterans Parkway, with grocery options, restaurants, and retail all close by. Interstate 840 access keeps Nashville and surrounding counties reachable without committing to a long drive. The neighborhood’s position in the 37128 zip code puts it among the more active real estate markets in Rutherford County.

The Homes

Olympic Springs was developed primarily in the mid-to-late 1990s, with the majority of homes built between 1994 and 1999. The community has no single dominant builder, which means you’ll find a reasonable variety of floor plans and construction types throughout the neighborhood. Exteriors range from all-brick construction to partial brick with vinyl siding, and you’ll find both ranch-style single-story homes and two-story traditional designs.

Interior square footage across closed sales has ranged from 1,254 to 2,083 square feet, putting most homes in the comfortable mid-range category for a family of three or four. Bedroom counts run from three to four, and homes consistently offer two full baths with a half bath. Most properties include two-car garages and hardwood, laminate, or tile flooring. Fenced backyards, bonus rooms above garages, and sunrooms are common upgrades sellers have added over the years.

Because these homes were built in the late 1990s, buyers should expect a mix of condition levels. Many properties have been thoroughly updated by current owners with new kitchens, remodeled bathrooms, fresh flooring, and upgraded mechanical systems. Move-in-ready inventory does show up regularly, and homes on cul-de-sac lots or with larger lots tend to attract strong buyer attention. There are no HOA fees in Olympic Springs, which is a meaningful differentiator compared to many newer Murfreesboro subdivisions.

Olympic Springs is in Rutherford County, served by Rutherford County Schools. Based on addresses in the neighborhood, school assignments include Cason Lane Academy or Rockvale Elementary at the elementary level, Rockvale Middle School for grades 6-8, and Rockvale High School for grades 9-12. The Rockvale cluster is one of the growing school communities in Rutherford County, reflecting the population expansion in southwest Murfreesboro.

Buyers should confirm current school assignments with Rutherford County Schools directly, as attendance zones are subject to change. Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team can also help verify which school applies to a specific address before you write an offer.

He has been named a RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent six consecutive times and leads the #1 ranked team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee per 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 represent approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee.

That data shapes the strategy we bring to every listing and every offer we write.

For sellers, Compass’s Three Phase Marketing Strategy gives Olympic Springs homes a meaningful edge over standard MLS launches. Phase 1 is the Compass Private Exclusive, where your home is tested with a select buyer audience before any public exposure, generating feedback without accumulating days on market or price history. Phase 2 is Compass Coming Soon, launching on Compass.com where buyers see your home without seeing a days-on-market clock or price reduction history. Phase 3 is the full public launch on MLS and all major third-party sites, timed to maximize demand. Homes pre-marketed through this system close at 2.9% higher prices, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price drop. That’s real money on a home priced in the $400s.

Frequently Asked Questions About Olympic Springs

What is the price range for homes in Olympic Springs?
Over the past 12 months, closed sales in Olympic Springs ranged from $347,000 to $481,990, with a median sale price of $430,000. Average sale price came in at $422,248. Price per square foot ranged from $210 to $277, depending on the size, condition, and updates present in each home. Since Olympic Springs has no HOA, buyers aren’t factoring in annual fees on top of their mortgage, which can make a meaningful difference in overall affordability compared to similar-sized homes in newer subdivisions.

When was Olympic Springs built?
The neighborhood was developed primarily between 1994 and 1999. It’s a fully built-out, established community with no new construction activity, which means buyers are purchasing existing homes with mature trees, settled landscaping, and established street character. The late-1990s construction period means many homes have seen significant updates from current owners over the decades.

Does Olympic Springs have HOA fees?
No. Olympic Springs has no homeowners association and no mandatory HOA fees. This is one of the neighborhood’s most practical selling points. In a market where many Murfreesboro subdivisions carry HOA fees of $300 to $800 or more per year, the absence of those fees adds up meaningfully over time and gives owners more flexibility with how they maintain and modify their property.

What schools serve Olympic Springs?
Olympic Springs is in Rutherford County, assigned to the Rockvale school cluster. Elementary school assignments include Cason Lane Academy and Rockvale Elementary, depending on the specific address. Middle school is Rockvale Middle School, and the assigned high school is Rockvale High School. Buyers should verify current assignments directly with Rutherford County Schools, as zone boundaries can change.

How large are the lots in Olympic Springs?
Closed sale data shows lot sizes ranging from 0.27 to 0.35 acres across the neighborhood. That’s meaningful outdoor space by Murfreesboro suburban standards, enough for fenced yards, detached sheds, decks, and in some cases outdoor storage or play structures. Many owners have made use of that space over the years, so fenced backyards and outbuildings are common.

What type of buyer is Olympic Springs best suited for?
Olympic Springs appeals most strongly to buyers who want an established, no-HOA neighborhood in Rutherford County without the price premium of newer construction. Families with school-age children get the benefit of the Rockvale school cluster. Buyers relocating from higher-cost markets often find the price-per-square-foot range of $210 to $277 compelling compared to what they’re leaving behind. The neighborhood also attracts buyers who prefer mature tree coverage and settled lot sizes over the tighter spacing typical of newer Murfreesboro communities. It’s not a starter-home market at $422K average, but it’s also not overextended for what you get.

How does Olympic Springs compare to nearby neighborhoods like Amber Glen or Salem Springs?
Olympic Springs sits in a competitive tier among established 37128 neighborhoods. The absence of HOA fees is the most immediate differentiator. Amber Glen and Salem Springs both carry HOA obligations, which affects net cost of ownership.

If low carrying costs and an established neighborhood feel matter to you more than a brand-new floor plan, Olympic Springs competes well in the current market.
