Rogers Estates

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED BRICK RANCH COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Rogers Estates sits in the heart of Murfreesboro, tucked into the southwest quadrant of the city off South Rutherford Boulevard. The neighborhood straddles the 37130 zip code and puts residents minutes from Middle Tennessee State University, the Avenue Murfreesboro, and Cannonsburgh Village. Drive times to downtown Nashville run about 35-40 minutes on a clear day, making this a viable option for commuters who want more square footage and lot size for their money.

Olympia Place is the neighborhood’s main residential street, lined with mature trees and generously sized lots that give the area a settled, uncrowded feel you rarely find this close to Murfreesboro’s commercial core. Residents have quick access to Old Fort Parkway and Medical Center Parkway, putting grocery stores, restaurants, Kroger, Publix, and the Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital campus all within 10 minutes.

MTSU’s campus is close enough that the neighborhood occasionally attracts investors, but it has always been predominantly owner-occupied. The combination of no HOA, large lots, and all-brick construction keeps demand steady among both families and buyers looking for a low-maintenance home that holds its value.

The Homes

Rogers Estates was developed primarily between 1959 and 1968, which means the housing stock is solidly built all-brick construction — the kind that costs more to replicate today and has a distinct advantage over vinyl-sided alternatives in terms of durability and curb appeal. The overwhelming majority of homes in the neighborhood carry all-brick or primarily brick exteriors.

Ranch-style homes dominate the streetscape, with most sitting on a single story. A handful of split-level and split-foyer floor plans add variety. Square footage runs from roughly 1,050 to 2,200, putting the neighborhood in a range that works for smaller families, empty nesters, and first-time buyers who want more land than a typical new-construction townhome would provide.

Lot sizes are a genuine selling point: parcels in Rogers Estates typically run from about 0.29 to 0.82 acres. That’s meaningful breathing room compared to the tighter lots you see in most of Murfreesboro’s newer subdivisions. Detached garages, storage outbuildings, and substantial backyard spaces are common. Most homes offer 3 bedrooms and 1-2 full baths, with some layouts incorporating a half bath off the primary suite. There is no HOA in Rogers Estates, which means no fees and no architectural restrictions on how you use your property.

Amenities

Rogers Estates is not an amenity-heavy planned community with a clubhouse and pool — it is an established neighborhood where the amenities are the surrounding city itself. That distinction matters for buyers who prioritize large private lots and no HOA over shared community facilities.

Within walking distance or a very short drive, residents have access to Barfield Crescent Park, one of the largest city parks in Murfreesboro, which offers soccer fields, baseball diamonds, a dog park, multi-use trails, and picnic pavilions. Old Fort Park and the Stones River Greenway system are also accessible within a few minutes, giving outdoor enthusiasts meaningful trail options year-round.

The MTSU campus is close by, bringing with it the university’s athletic facilities, the Tucker Theatre, the Floyd Stadium entertainment complex, and Murphy Center. For everyday errands, South Church Street and Old Fort Parkway offer a dense corridor of grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and retail. Murfreesboro’s growing medical hub, anchored by Saint Thomas Rutherford and multiple specialty clinics, is also nearby.

Schools

Rogers Estates falls entirely within Rutherford County Schools, confirmed by the county field across all closed sales in the MLS data. Rutherford County Schools is one of the stronger public school systems in the greater Nashville metro, consistently outperforming the Metro Nashville Public Schools district across multiple grade-level assessments.

Elementary students in Rogers Estates attend Black Fox Elementary School, which served every home in the dataset. Middle school assignments split between Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School and Christiana Middle School depending on the specific address, with the Central Magnet School appearing as an option for qualifying students. At the high school level, most homes feed into Riverdale High School, with Oakland High School serving some addresses.

Families with a specific school preference should verify current attendance zones directly with Rutherford County Schools before purchasing, as zone lines do occasionally shift. Patrick Higgins can walk you through which homes map to which schools before you schedule showings.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru

Over the past 12 months, Compass and Parks agents were involved in 2 of 12 closed sales in Rogers Estates, representing approximately 16.7% of all transactions in the neighborhood. In a small subdivision like this, that level of market presence matters — it means our agents have direct intel on what buyers are offering, how homes are being priced, and what sellers actually net at closing.

Patrick Higgins leads the Nashville Home Guru team at Compass, ranked #1 in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings. A six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent, Patrick has closed over 1,100 transactions totaling more than $500M in career residential sales across Middle Tennessee. That track record is not about volume for its own sake — it means he has seen nearly every negotiating scenario, inspection issue, and pricing challenge that comes up in Rutherford County.

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 are involved in approximately 1 in 4 home sales across Tennessee — the largest referral network and the broadest reach of any brokerage in the state.

For sellers in Rogers Estates, Compass’s Three Phase Marketing Strategy consistently produces measurable results. Homes that go through the pre-marketing process close at 2.9% higher prices, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction compared to homes that launch directly to the MLS.

Here is how the three phases work. In Phase 1, your home is listed as a Compass Private Exclusive — visible only to the Compass agent network. This lets you test your price, gather feedback, and build buyer interest without accumulating days on market or public price history. In Phase 2, it moves to Compass Coming Soon, where it appears on Compass.com and generates momentum before the public launch. In Phase 3, your home goes live on the MLS and all major third-party portals with demand already built in and no visible price drops or long market time working against you.

What are the lot sizes like in Rogers Estates?
Lot sizes in Rogers Estates range from approximately 0.29 to 0.82 acres. That is meaningfully larger than what most newer Murfreesboro subdivisions offer at comparable price points. Many lots are irregularly shaped, which creates usable side and rear yard space without feeling boxed in.

How old are the homes in Rogers Estates?

Many homes have been updated over the years with renovated kitchens, new roofs, and HVAC replacements.

Is Rogers Estates a good fit for me as a buyer?
Rogers Estates tends to attract a specific kind of buyer: someone who values lot size, no HOA, solid construction, and proximity to MTSU, downtown Murfreesboro, and the medical corridor. It works well for first-time buyers who want more land than new construction offers at these price points, families who need room to spread out, and investors looking for rentable brick homes near a major university. It is not a neighborhood for buyers who prioritize new finishes straight out of the box — many homes will benefit from updates, but that is also where the value opportunity lies.
