The Village At Cedar Crest

MURFREESBORO’S GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

The Village At Cedar Crest sits off Mona Road in southwest Murfreesboro, in the 37129 zip code of Rutherford County. The community wraps around the Cedar Crest Golf Club, and streets like Allen Barrett Road, Nick Price Drive, and Tiger Woods Way reflect that identity at every turn. Residents here are not just near a golf course — they live alongside it, with fairway views from private patios and backyards that would cost significantly more in comparable Nashville markets.

Daily errands and dining run along Middle Tennessee Boulevard and Medical Center Parkway, roughly 10 minutes east. Murfreesboro’s historic downtown square and MTSU are inside 15 minutes. Commuters heading to Nashville on I-24 reach the city in approximately 35 to 45 minutes depending on traffic, a timeline that draws buyers looking for more square footage and lot size than closer-in neighborhoods can offer at comparable price points.

The neighborhood is assigned to Wilson Elementary School, Siegel Middle School, and Siegel High School — all part of Rutherford County Schools. Siegel High consistently ranks among the stronger public high schools in the county and is a meaningful factor for families relocating from other states who are evaluating Murfreesboro against suburban Nashville alternatives.

The Homes

The Village At Cedar Crest is an established single-family community built primarily between 2006 and 2013. Homes are two-story and range from roughly 1,900 to over 4,100 square feet, giving the neighborhood an unusual span for a single subdivision. Lot sizes typically run from a third of an acre to nearly seven-tenths of an acre, which is meaningfully larger than most newer Murfreesboro developments where lots are compressed to accommodate higher density.

Construction quality here varies by the original builder and the section. The upper end of the community features all-brick custom homes with premium finishes — quartz and granite counters, geothermal HVAC systems, in-ground pools, detached garages, and in-law or guest quarters. Entry-level homes in the community tend to be partial brick and vinyl, with 2-car attached garages and 3 to 4 bedrooms. The distinction in construction type has a direct impact on pricing, which is why buyers comparing two Village At Cedar Crest homes by price alone will find more variation than in a fully uniform subdivision.

There is no HOA in The Village At Cedar Crest. That absence gives owners flexibility but also means buyers need to evaluate each property on its own merits — community upkeep is driven by individual owners rather than shared association standards. In practice, the golf course adjacency creates a natural incentive toward property maintenance, and the community has held its character well over the years since initial buildout.

Market Data

The following data reflects closed sales in The Village At Cedar Crest over a rolling 12-month period, drawn directly from RealTracs MLS. With only 3 closed sales in the window, this is a low-turnover community. That limited comparable pool matters significantly for pricing — both buyers and sellers need to account for the wide variance between standard resale homes and the premium all-brick custom properties at the top of the range.

Amenities & Community Character

The defining feature of The Village At Cedar Crest is its relationship to Cedar Crest Golf Club, a par-72 course that runs through and around the community. For residents who golf, that proximity is the primary draw. For those who do not, the course still shapes the neighborhood’s character — it contributes open views, mature trees, and a pace of life that feels distinct from the tighter subdivisions common in newer Murfreesboro development.

Lots in the community are large enough to support outdoor living in a way that most HOA-governed subdivisions cannot. Closed sales in the data reflect pools, outdoor kitchens, covered patios, and detached workshop or garage structures — amenities that require the lot size and absence of restrictions this neighborhood provides. Several properties have underground utilities, which improves both aesthetics and storm resilience.

The community is quiet and private by character, with a low annual turnover rate. Buyers looking for a neighborhood with some physical separation between homes — and between themselves and neighbors — find The Village At Cedar Crest well-suited to that preference at a price point that remains accessible compared to Brentwood or Franklin.

Schools

Students in The Village At Cedar Crest are zoned to Rutherford County Schools. The current assignment is Wilson Elementary School, Siegel Middle School, and Siegel High School. Siegel High School serves a large portion of southwest Murfreesboro and has a strong academic track record within the Rutherford County system. Buyers relocating from other states frequently cite the Siegel zone as a key factor in narrowing their Murfreesboro search to this part of 37129.

School zone assignments can change at the county level — always verify current boundaries directly with Rutherford County Schools before making a purchase decision based on zoning. Patrick’s team confirms school zones for every buyer as a standard part of the purchase process.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru?

The Village At Cedar Crest sits in Murfreesboro’s 37129 zip code, where Compass closed 17.8% of all transactions over the past 12 months — 178 of 1,001 closed sales across the zip code. That market share reflects the depth of the team’s presence here, not just name recognition. When a Cedar Crest listing needs pricing guidance, Patrick works from the actual RealTracs data, not aggregator estimates, which frequently misread this community because of the wide gap between entry-level resale homes and the all-brick custom properties at the top of the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price range for homes in The Village At Cedar Crest?

Closed sales over the past 12 months ranged from $418,000 to $1,350,000. The median closed price was $570,000. That wide range reflects genuine variation in the product type — a 1,900-square-foot partial brick home on a third-acre lot and a 4,100-square-foot all-brick custom home with a pool, guest quarters, and golf course views are both part of this community, and they price accordingly. Buyers comparing Cedar Crest properties need to look closely at construction type, lot size, and finish quality rather than relying on averages.

When were the homes in The Village At Cedar Crest built?

Homes in the community were built between 2006 and 2013, making this an established neighborhood with mature landscaping, full tree canopy, and a settled feel that newer communities in southwest Murfreesboro have not yet developed. The age range also means buyers can expect updated kitchens and systems in well-maintained homes, and should budget for potential HVAC, roofing, and exterior updates in properties that have not been refreshed since original construction.

Does The Village At Cedar Crest have an HOA?

No. All closed sales in the RealTracs data confirmed no HOA association for this community. There are no annual dues, no transfer fees, and no HOA restrictions on property use. For buyers who want to add a pool, workshop, or outbuilding, or who prefer not to navigate HOA governance, that absence is a meaningful benefit. It is always worth confirming HOA status in the purchase contract and with Rutherford County records, as individual sections or lots may have separate deed restrictions.

What schools serve The Village At Cedar Crest?

Students are zoned to Wilson Elementary School, Siegel Middle School, and Siegel High School — all part of Rutherford County Schools. This is not Metro Nashville Public Schools. Rutherford County Schools operates independently with its own governance, curriculum, and boundary maps. Verify current zone assignments directly with the district before finalizing a purchase, as boundaries can change at the county level between school years.

How large are the lots in The Village At Cedar Crest?

Closed sales show lot sizes ranging from approximately 0.34 to 0.69 acres. That is considerably larger than most new construction in the 37129 zip code, where a quarter-acre lot has become common. The larger lots support private outdoor living, including pools, covered outdoor kitchens, detached garages, and storage structures — improvements that several closed sales in the data confirm are already present on select properties.

What home styles and features are typical in The Village At Cedar Crest?

All closed sales were two-story homes with 2 to 5-car garages. Construction types include partial brick with vinyl siding at the entry level and all-brick construction at the upper end. Interior features in recent sales include granite and quartz counters, hardwood floors through main living areas, formal dining rooms, and open kitchen-to-great room layouts. Upper-tier homes in the community feature geothermal HVAC, in-ground pools, and in-law or guest quarters with private entrances.

Is The Village At Cedar Crest a good fit for families relocating from out of state?

It is a strong option for families moving from Georgia, Michigan, Virginia, Florida, Texas, or other states looking for a larger lot, no HOA, and a proven school zone at a price point below comparable Nashville suburbs. The Siegel zone is a known quantity for families who research Rutherford County Schools before relocating. Lot sizes here are genuinely larger than what buyers from high-density suburban markets are accustomed to, and the no-HOA structure removes a layer of governance many relocation buyers find appealing. Patrick’s team has worked with dozens of relocation clients and can coordinate video tours, inspection scheduling, and digital document execution for buyers purchasing remotely.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in The Village At Cedar Crest?

The price per square foot in The Village At Cedar Crest ranged from $196 to $326 in recent closed sales — a spread of $130 per square foot within the same community. That variance is not random. It is driven by construction type, golf course orientation, lot size, and whether a home has been updated since original build. Patrick works from this granular data when advising clients, which is why his pricing strategies account for variables that automated valuation tools miss entirely. His team’s track record in the 37129 zip code — 178 transactions representing 17.8% of all closed sales — reflects consistent execution across price points. Patrick holds the RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent designation seven times, backed by 100+ Google Reviews and 87 Zillow Reviews.

What is my Village At Cedar Crest home worth in today’s market?

Automated tools like Zillow’s Zestimate and Redfin Estimate struggle in low-turnover communities like The Village At Cedar Crest. With only 3 closed sales in the trailing 12 months, the algorithms have a thin comparable base, and they do not account for the $130-per-square-foot difference between an entry-level resale and an all-brick custom home in the same subdivision. The Hifello tool linked below gives a more data-informed starting estimate, but the most accurate valuation comes from Patrick working through the actual closed sales with you directly. Call 615-682-1718 or use the Hifello link to get started.

We have owned our home in Cedar Crest for over a decade — how do we price it right for today’s market?

Long-term owners in The Village At Cedar Crest face a specific pricing challenge: the comparable pool is thin, and the gap between a standard resale and a premium all-brick property with a pool and golf course frontage is enormous. A seller who prices against the higher end without the construction quality to support it will sit on the market. A seller who underprices without accounting for their lot size, view orientation, or recent renovations will leave money on the table. Patrick’s approach in low-volume communities like this is to look at the full picture — your specific section of the community, your construction type, what has sold in neighboring subdivisions like Autumn Cove and Chapel Hills, and current buyer demand in the 37129 zip code — rather than applying a simple price-per-square-foot formula. That analysis is available at no cost and no obligation.
