Stevens Bend

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED NO-HOA COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Stevens Bend sits in southeast Murfreesboro in zip code 37127, just minutes from I-24. That location matters more than people realize. You can be in downtown Murfreesboro in about 15 minutes, reach the medical corridor along Medical Center Parkway in under 10, and tap into Smyrna or La Vergne without fighting through city traffic.

Day-to-day errands are straightforward. The Kroger and Target along Old Fort Parkway are close, and the retail and dining along South Church Street covers most everything else. Barfield Park, one of Murfreesboro‘s largest recreation areas, is nearby and offers disc golf, soccer fields, picnic areas, and walking trails. This is a neighborhood where people actually use the location, not just live in it.

Stevens Bend carries the kind of feel you get in established subdivisions that have had time to settle in. The tree canopy has matured, lots are generously sized, and the streets have a calm, residential character. There is no HOA here, which is a genuine advantage for homeowners who want more flexibility over their property.

The Homes

Stevens Bend was developed between 1999 and 2003, placing it in that sweet spot of established construction with solid bones and floor plans that work for real life. Homes are primarily single-family, built with vinyl siding and partial brick exteriors. Most sit on lots ranging from 0.30 to 0.43 acres, which is meaningfully larger than what you will find in many newer Murfreesboro subdivisions built on tighter parcels.

Square footage in the neighborhood runs from approximately 1,380 to 2,585 square feet, giving buyers a range of sizes to work with. Most homes offer three bedrooms and two full baths, with larger floor plans stepping up to four bedrooms and three full baths. Two-car garages are standard. You will find decks, screened porches, and patio spaces throughout, with several homes backing to cul-de-sac or corner lots.

The no-HOA status is one of this neighborhood’s most appealing features. No monthly or annual fees, no restrictions on parking your truck or trailer, and no committee approval needed for home improvements. For buyers comparing Stevens Bend to newer subdivisions with HOA fees of $500 to $900 per year, that savings adds up quickly.
