The Preserve at Indian Creek

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED FAMILY COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

The Preserve at Indian Creek sits off Fortress Boulevard in southwest Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in zip code 37128. The neighborhood is tucked along a network of streets including Aztec Drive, Blackfoot Trail, Buck Cherry Way, Indian Creek Boulevard, Maricopa Drive, and Pantera Drive. It is a well-established community built between 2004 and 2009, giving it the mature tree canopy and settled feel that newer developments simply can’t replicate.

Daily errands are a short drive away. Stones River Marketplace, Target, Walmart Supercenter, and a strong lineup of restaurants are all accessible within minutes via Fortress Boulevard and I-24. Medical facilities including Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital are close by, and the interstate access makes commuting to Nashville roughly 35 minutes under normal conditions. For families, the triple Blackman school zone is the defining selling point of the location.

The neighborhood borders Indian Creek, a tributary that runs along the western edge and gives the community its name and natural character. Walking trails wind through the area, and a playground and picnic spaces serve as the social hub for residents. It is the kind of neighborhood where kids ride bikes after school and neighbors actually know each other.

The Homes

Homes in The Preserve at Indian Creek are traditional single-family residences built by various regional builders between 2004 and 2009.

Three and four bedroom layouts are the norm, typically paired with two to three full baths and a half bath. Attached two-car garages are standard throughout the subdivision. Lot sizes are modest, running from roughly 0.13 to 0.22 acres, which means manageable yard maintenance without sacrificing usable outdoor space. Many lots feature fenced backyards, front porches, and back patios.

Interior features found across recent sales include hardwood floors, open great rooms, wood-burning fireplaces, kitchen islands with stainless steel appliances, main-level primary suites, and walk-in closets. The homes that have been renovated recently are selling with quartz countertops, updated lighting, new roofs, and modern finishes. At price points ranging from the mid $300s to the low $400s, these are competitively valued homes in a Rutherford County market that continues to attract buyers priced out of Williamson County to the west.
