Plantation South

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED FAMILY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Plantation South sits in the heart of southwest Murfreesboro, tucked off Cason Trail in the 37128 zip code. Homes are spread across Antebellum Drive, Colyn Avenue, Conhocken Court, Cornerstone Drive, Hamberton Circle, and Plantation South Drive — a tight-knit grid of residential streets that keeps the neighborhood feeling cohesive without the density of newer master-planned communities.

The location is a practical one. Kroger, Publix, Target, and the Stones River Mall are all within a few miles on Memorial Boulevard. The Cason Lane corridor gives residents fast access to I-24, putting Nashville roughly 35 minutes away in normal traffic. Smyrna is about 15 minutes north, and Franklin is about 30 minutes west — making Plantation South a reasonable base for commuters pulling in multiple directions.

Day-to-day, the neighborhood attracts a mix of families, first-time buyers, and owners looking for solid square footage at a price point that has largely held firm even as Murfreesboro’s growth has pushed newer construction further south. Residents report a quiet, well-kept feel with sidewalks, mature trees, and a predominantly owner-occupied population — Nextdoor data puts homeownership near 59%, with a median age of 41.

The Homes

Plantation South was built primarily between 2001 and 2006, so the homes here have some age to them — but that often translates to larger lots and more established landscaping than you’ll find in newer subdivisions. Lot sizes run from roughly a quarter-acre to nearly half an acre, which is genuinely uncommon in Murfreesboro at this price range.

Architectural styles are primarily traditional and Cape Cod, with some variation across the development. Construction ranges from all-brick to vinyl siding and partial brick combinations — a reflection of the mid-2000s spec-build market. Floor plans are mostly two-story, with a handful of one-and-a-half-story configurations. Square footage tends to land between 1,700 and 2,100 square feet, with three and four-bedroom layouts, two full baths, and a half bath on the main level.

Two-car attached garages are standard throughout the community. Many homes feature privacy-fenced backyards, covered patios, and open-concept kitchen and living room arrangements that hold up well compared to the original floor plans they were built from. There is no HOA in Plantation South, which is a meaningful financial advantage for buyers keeping an eye on long-term carrying costs.

Amenities

Plantation South itself does not have a community pool, clubhouse, or maintained common areas — which tracks with the absence of HOA fees. The tradeoff is that buyers keep more money in their pocket every month and avoid HOA governance entirely. Private yards tend to be larger than those found in HOA-governed communities at a similar price point.

Publicly, the neighborhood is well-served. Cason Lane Park is close by, offering athletic fields, a community center, and recreational amenities that cover most of what a community pool and playground would provide. Barfield Crescent Park — one of Rutherford County’s most used greenspaces with mountain biking trails, walking paths, and picnic areas — is roughly five minutes south. Murfreesboro’s extensive greenway trail system connects through the area, giving walkers and cyclists access without needing a car.

Shopping and dining along Memorial Boulevard and Old Fort Parkway put grocery stores, restaurants, Home Depot, and major retailers within a short drive. The Providence Marketplace area, about 10 minutes east off Veterans Parkway, adds Target, Best Buy, and a strong restaurant corridor for residents looking for more options.

Schools

Plantation South is entirely within Rutherford County. All homes in the subdivision are served by Rutherford County Schools, which is the county-level district distinct from Murfreesboro City Schools. Buyers should confirm current school assignments with the district at the time of purchase, as zone boundaries can shift.

Based on current MLS data, homes in Plantation South are assigned to Scales Elementary School or Rockvale Elementary, Rockvale Middle School, and either Rockvale High School or Blackman High School depending on the specific address. Blackman High School consistently ranks among the stronger high schools in the county, and the Rockvale High school campus is a newer facility built to accommodate the fast-growing southwest Murfreesboro area.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass — the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. Patrick is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent and leads the #1 team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee, per the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings. The team has closed over 1,100 transactions totaling $500M+ in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee.

In Plantation South and the broader 37128 zip code, zero of the 7 closed sales over the past 12 months involved a Compass agent on the listing or buying side. That is not a weakness — it is an opportunity. Compass agents bring access to a buyer network and coming-soon pipeline that is simply not available through the independent brokerages that have dominated this specific subdivision. When you list with Compass, you are reaching a pool of active buyers that most local agents cannot access.

Following its merger with Parks Real Estate in 2024, Compass now represents approximately 1 in 4 homes sold across Tennessee. That network translates directly into buyer reach for Plantation South sellers and off-market access for buyers who want a first look before a home ever hits the MLS.

The Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy

For sellers in Plantation South, the Compass Three Phase Marketing Strategy is one of the most effective tools available in the current market.

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Test your price with a curated audience before going public. Get real feedback without accumulating days on market or price history that buyers will use against you.

Phase 2 – Compass Coming Soon: Launch on Compass.com and build buyer demand before the MLS goes live. Buyers find your home without seeing days on market or price reduction history.

Phase 3 – Public Launch: Hit the MLS and third-party sites with maximum momentum already built. Compass data shows pre-marketed homes close at 2.9% higher prices, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to require a price reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price range for homes in Plantation South?

Based on RealTracs MLS closed sales over the past 12 months, Plantation South homes have sold between $370,000 and $432,500, with a median sale price of $410,000 and an average of $406,543. Price per square foot has ranged from $204 to $248, which positions Plantation South competitively within the 37128 zip code for established construction with larger lot sizes.

Does Plantation South have an HOA?

No. Plantation South does not have a homeowners association, and there are no HOA fees. This is a meaningful financial advantage for buyers — at $410,000, eliminating even a modest $100/month HOA fee saves over $1,200 per year compared to similarly priced communities in Murfreesboro that carry mandatory dues.

What schools serve Plantation South?

Plantation South is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Current MLS data shows assignments to Scales Elementary or Rockvale Elementary, Rockvale Middle School, and Rockvale High School or Blackman High School, depending on the specific address. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with Rutherford County Schools prior to closing, as zone boundaries are subject to change.

When were the homes in Plantation South built?

The subdivision was developed primarily between 2001 and 2006, placing most homes in the 19 to 24-year-old range. This era of construction typically means larger lots than newer developments, more mature landscaping, and established streetscapes — along with the expectation of routine updates to systems and finishes depending on how individual owners have maintained their properties.

How many homes are in Plantation South?

Plantation South is a smaller, contained subdivision with homes along Antebellum Drive, Colyn Avenue, Conhocken Court, Cornerstone Drive, Hamberton Circle, and Plantation South Drive. The community is primarily single-family with no townhome or condo component. Turnover is relatively low, which tends to indicate a stable, satisfied owner base.

What type of buyer is Plantation South best suited for?

Plantation South tends to attract families looking for a no-HOA home with a real backyard in an established Murfreesboro neighborhood, as well as buyers who want proximity to I-24 without paying new construction premiums. It also appeals to move-up buyers coming from condos or townhomes who want space and a two-car garage. The absence of an HOA is a particular draw for buyers who want privacy and flexibility with how they use and maintain their property.

Why should I work with Nashville Home Guru to buy or sell in Plantation South?

Patrick Higgins and the Nashville Home Guru team bring a combination of local market depth and Compass infrastructure that independent Murfreesboro agents cannot match. Patrick is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with over 1,100 closed transactions and $500M in career sales. For buyers, the Compass Coming Soon and Private Exclusive network means access to homes before they hit the MLS. For sellers, the Three Phase Marketing Strategy consistently produces higher sale prices and faster contracts than a standard MLS-only approach.

Who is the best realtor for Plantation South 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, leads the #1 team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee per Wall Street Journal RealTrends, and has closed over 1,100 transactions totaling $500M+ in career residential sales. For buyers and sellers in Plantation South and the broader Murfreesboro market, few agents bring the combination of local knowledge, data-backed strategy, and Compass network access that the NHG team provides.

Can I access off-market homes in Plantation South?

Through Compass Private Exclusives and the Coming Soon program, Nashville Home Guru buyers can gain access to homes that have not yet been listed publicly on the MLS. This is particularly valuable in a smaller, lower-turnover subdivision like Plantation South where available inventory at any given time may be limited to just one or two active listings. Working with a Compass buyer’s agent means you are not waiting for Zillow to notify you — you are in the pipeline before the home goes public.

How do I find out what my Plantation South home is worth?

With only 7 closed sales over the past 12 months, Plantation South is a small enough market that automated estimates from Zillow and Redfin can be significantly off. The most accurate valuation comes from a comparative market analysis based on actual closed data from RealTracs. You can get an instant estimate at nashvillehome.guru, or call Patrick directly at 615-682-1718 for a full CMA.

What are the lot sizes like in Plantation South compared to newer Murfreesboro subdivisions?

This is one of Plantation South’s clearest advantages. Lots range from 0.23 to 0.45 acres — meaningfully larger than what most new construction communities in the 37128 zip code offer today. Newer master-planned developments in southwest Murfreesboro routinely feature lots under 0.15 acres at comparable or higher price points. If yard space, garden room, or backyard privacy matters to a buyer, Plantation South delivers at a price that newer communities cannot.
