Three Rivers

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED FAMILY COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

Three Rivers sits off Cason Lane in the 37128 zip code of west Murfreesboro, placing residents within a few minutes of the Cason Lane shopping corridor, Sam’s Club, Costco, and the dining along Medical Center Parkway. Interstate 840 is close enough to make Franklin or Smyrna an easy commute, while downtown Murfreesboro’s Square is about 15 minutes east.

The neighborhood has grown in phases since the mid-2000s and continues to expand with newer sections, meaning you’ll find both established tree-lined streets and freshly completed homes in the same community. Streets like Bluestern Lane, Leatherwood Drive, Leipers Fork Trail, Pepper Branch Drive, and Shellsford Circle all feed back to Cason Lane, keeping through traffic minimal on interior roads.

Three Rivers is also a community with real walkability in the Murfreesboro suburban sense: sidewalks connect to the community pool and clubhouse, and walking trails let residents get outside without getting in a car. That combination of location, amenities, and price point makes Three Rivers one of the more searched neighborhoods in the 37128 zip code.

The Homes

Three Rivers is not a single-product community. The neighborhood includes traditional single-family homes, townhomes through The Crossings of Three Rivers and Stonebridge sections, and the Gardens of Three Rivers, which features attached and zero-lot-line homes. This variety means buyers at different price points and life stages can find something that fits.

Single-family homes range from around 1,500 to nearly 2,900 square feet, with most falling in the 1,800-2,400 range. Construction styles run traditional, contemporary, and cottage, typically featuring fiber cement or partial brick exteriors. Lot sizes are modest, generally 0.09 to 0.33 acres, which keeps yard maintenance manageable for busy families. Garages are standard, and many homes have covered patios or decks in back.

Newer sections built between 2020 and 2025 reflect current design trends: open-concept main floors, quartz countertops, LVP flooring, and primary suites with double vanities. Older sections from the 2007-2015 era tend to offer larger lots and more mature landscaping at comparable price points. Patterson Homes has been active in the Gardens of Three Rivers townhome sections, offering new construction with builder incentives.

Schools

Three Rivers sits entirely in Rutherford County, so all homes are served by Rutherford County Schools. School assignments vary by exact address within the neighborhood, and the CSV data confirms multiple elementary options. Most addresses in Three Rivers feed to Rockvale Middle School and Rockvale High School, with some routing to Riverdale High School.

Elementary schools associated with Three Rivers addresses include Barfield Elementary, Rockvale Elementary, Salem Elementary, Cason Lane Academy, and Scales Elementary. Always verify the current school assignment for a specific address at the Rutherford County Schools website or contact Patrick directly, as boundary lines have shifted as new schools have opened in west Murfreesboro.

Rutherford County Schools is one of the largest and fastest-growing school systems in Tennessee, with strong athletic programs and expanding magnet and STEM offerings at the high school level.
