Sycamore Grove

MURFREESBORO’S NEW CONSTRUCTION COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Sycamore Grove sits in the southeastern corner of Murfreesboro along the 37129 zip code, positioned near the Smyrna border. That geographic sweet spot puts residents a short drive from both Murfreesboro’s urban core and Smyrna’s growing commercial corridor, with quick interstate access to Nashville via I-24 and I-840.

The Avenue Murfreesboro, one of Middle Tennessee’s most popular open-air shopping destinations, is roughly 10 minutes away. Historic downtown Murfreesboro, with its farmers market, restaurants, and Stones River National Battlefield, is about the same distance. For commuters, the drive to downtown Nashville typically runs 35 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. Nashville International Airport is about 30 miles northwest.

Day-to-day errands are well covered. Target, Publix, Kroger, and Walmart Supercenter locations are all within a 10-minute radius. The neighborhood itself features walking trails and sidewalk-lined streets, giving families and dog owners a genuine sense of community without needing to leave the subdivision.

The Homes

Sycamore Grove is a multi-builder new construction community spread across approximately 105 acres with 229 total homes planned. Three builders are currently active: Meritage Homes, Celebration Homes, and Willow Branch Homes, each bringing distinct floor plan designs and included feature packages.

Meritage Homes prices from the upper $400s and is known for its energy-efficient construction standards, including spray foam insulation, Energy Star windows, low-flow plumbing fixtures, programmable thermostats, and sealed ductwork. Their plans at Sycamore Grove feature open-concept layouts, luxurious primary suites, and every home comes standard with a refrigerator, washer, dryer, window blinds, and a fully sodded yard. Meritage’s sales office is located at 6838 Chatsworth Court.

Celebration Homes is launching a new phase from the low $500s, offering single-family plans with covered patios, open-concept living and dining spaces, and primary suites on the main level. Willow Branch Homes rounds out the builder lineup with plans ranging from the $400s to $600s, spanning 1,988 to 3,025 square feet. Their floor plans, including the Bledsoe, Austin, and Elizabeth models, offer a mix of one-and-a-half and two-story configurations with features like gas fireplaces, covered patios with ceiling fans, quartz kitchen islands, and primary-down options.

Across all three builders, closed sales in the MLS data show homes typically deliver 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3 full baths, and two-car or three-car garages. Lot sizes run from 0.15 to 0.26 acres. Construction materials vary by builder but include fiber cement siding, hardboard, and partial brick exteriors. Most homes are two-story, with a smaller share of 1.5-story and single-story plans available.

For sellers in Sycamore Grove, the Compass Three Phase Marketing Strategy offers a proven approach to maximizing sale price. Learn more at nashvillehome.guru/sell-your-home-on-your-terms/. Here is how the phases work:

Phase 1 – Compass Private Exclusive: Your home is shown to a select audience of Compass buyers and agents before it goes public. This allows price testing and early feedback without accumulating days on market or a public price history.

Phase 2 – Compass Coming Soon: Your listing appears on Compass.com and is marketed to buyers actively searching, still without triggering a public days-on-market clock.

Phase 3 – Public Launch: Your home goes live on the MLS and all major third-party portals with demand already built, creating the urgency that drives stronger offers. Compass data shows pre-marketed homes close at 2.9% higher prices, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction.
