River Landing

MURFREESBORO’S PREMIER RIVERFRONT NEW CONSTRUCTION COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

River Landing sits along the banks of Stones River and Overall Creek in Murfreesboro’s northwest corridor, putting residents at the intersection of natural beauty and everyday convenience. The community’s address on Northwest Broad Street offers direct access to both I-24 and State Route 840, making the commute to Nashville International Airport a straightforward 30-minute drive.

Day-to-day life here is genuinely low-friction. Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital is just minutes away. The Avenue Murfreesboro shopping center, packed with national retailers, restaurants, and grocery options, is practically in the backyard. This is the kind of location where you stop making special trips because everything is already close.

Murfreesboro itself is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee, and River Landing sits squarely in that growth path. The zip code 37129 has seen strong demand from buyers priced out of Nashville and Brentwood who still want access to Middle Tennessee’s job market and lifestyle.

The Homes

River Landing is a D.R. Horton community offering two distinct product types: attached townhomes and traditional single-family homes. This mix makes the neighborhood unusual for Murfreesboro new construction, where most communities stick to one format.

The townhomes, marketed as HPR-Attached and traditional Townhouse configurations, run from roughly 1,474 square feet and are built on the Medford floorplan. This two-story layout puts the main living areas downstairs and bedrooms up, with a private garage in front. Exteriors feature fiber cement siding with brick or stone accents, giving the streetscape a finished, cohesive look. Every townhome comes with a covered porch and patio, and units along Stones River have genuine waterfront access.

The single-family homes range from 1,402 to 2,382 square feet, with plans including the compact ranch-style Bowen at 1,402 square feet and larger two-story designs for buyers who need more space. Three to five bedrooms are available depending on the plan. Lot sizes are in the less-than-quarter-acre range typical of new construction communities in this price tier.

D.R. Horton includes their Home is Connected smart home package as standard on all River Landing homes. This covers a smart thermostat, smart locks, smart camera, and smart lighting controls, all manageable remotely. Kitchens feature quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and kitchen islands. Primary suites include double vanities and walk-in closets. Construction uses slab foundations throughout.

For more information on available floor plans and current inventory, visit D.R. Horton’s River Landing page or contact Patrick Higgins directly at 615-682-1718 for access to coming-soon inventory not yet listed on the MLS.

Amenities

River Landing’s amenity package is built around its riverside setting. The centerpiece is the community pool with an adjacent amenity center, available to all residents. A children’s playground and scenic walking trails round out the on-site recreation options.

The most distinctive feature is the waterfront access along Stones River and Overall Creek. The community includes dedicated canoe and kayak launch points, giving residents year-round access to paddling on the river. A boat dock is included in certain sections of the community. Underground utilities throughout the neighborhood keep the streetscape clean and free of overhead lines.

For everyday needs, residents are minutes from The Avenue Murfreesboro (Target, Publix, HomeGoods, and dozens of dining options), Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital, and major retail on Northwest Broad Street. The convenience factor here is real, not marketing language.

Schools

River Landing is located entirely within Rutherford County, so all homes are zoned to Rutherford County Schools. This is confirmed across every record in the RealTracs MLS data. The school assignments vary slightly by section within the community:

Elementary School: Stewartsboro Elementary serves all homes in River Landing.

Middle School: The majority of River Landing homes feed into Blackman Middle School. A portion of the townhome section, particularly along the Stones River side, is zoned to Smyrna Middle School. Confirm your specific lot assignment before purchasing if middle school zoning matters to your family.

High School: Smyrna High School serves the majority of River Landing. Some townhome units are zoned to Siegel High School. Again, verify by address before making a school-based decision.

Rutherford County Schools consistently outperforms state averages on Tennessee standardized assessments. If school zoning is a priority, Patrick can help you identify which specific lots or units fall in each attendance zone before you make an offer.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru to Buy or Sell in River Landing

In River Landing over the past 12 months, D.R. Horton listed 100% of the homes on the market. Compass agents, however, represented buyers on 3 of the 75 closed transactions, accounting for approximately 4% of buyer-side sales in a community where every listing went through a single builder’s in-house team. In a new construction setting like River Landing, having an independent buyer’s agent is not just helpful, it’s how you protect your interests. The builder’s sales agent represents the builder.

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass, ranked the #1 real estate team in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal RealTrends. With more than 1,100 transactions and $500M+ in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee, Patrick has represented buyers in new construction communities throughout Rutherford County and knows exactly where builders have flexibility and where they don’t.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. Following the 2024 merger with Parks Real Estate, Compass agents are now involved in roughly 1 in 4 home sales across Tennessee, with access to coming-soon listings, private exclusive inventory, and the largest professional referral network in the industry.

For sellers in River Landing, the Compass Three Phase Marketing Strategy is built to generate the strongest possible offer before going public. Here’s how it works:

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Your home is shown to a select audience of serious buyers before it’s publicly listed. You get real pricing feedback without accumulating days on market or price history that buyers can use against you.

Phase 2 – Compass Coming Soon: Your home launches on Compass.com, where buyers can find it without seeing days on market or price reduction history. Demand builds before you’re live on the MLS.

Phase 3 – Public Launch: Your home goes live on the MLS and all third-party sites with built-up demand behind it. Homes pre-marketed through this strategy close at 2.9% higher prices, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to need a price reduction. Learn more about selling on your terms.

The waterfront amenities are the standout feature: residents have access to canoe and kayak launch points along Stones River and Overall Creek, plus a boat dock in certain sections. Underground utilities keep the neighborhood looking clean and modern.

What type of buyer is River Landing best suited for?

River Landing attracts three distinct buyer profiles. First-time buyers and young families are drawn to the new construction quality, smart home technology, and lower-maintenance lifestyle, particularly in the townhome sections where the HOA covers exterior upkeep. Remote workers and commuters value the direct I-24 and 840 access for getting to Nashville or the airport quickly. Outdoor-oriented buyers, especially paddlers and water recreation enthusiasts, are specifically drawn to the Stones River kayak and canoe access, which is genuinely rare among Murfreesboro communities in this price range.

Can I access off-market homes in River Landing, or do I need a buyer’s agent?

Because D.R. Horton controls all inventory at River Landing, the most important access advantage comes from working with a Compass buyer’s agent. Compass’s Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs surface pre-market inventory in nearby resale communities that buyers working without representation never see. In new construction, your buyer’s agent is paid by the builder, so there is no cost to having representation, and a significant benefit: someone at the table whose job is to protect your interests, not the builder’s profit margin.
