The Villas at Indian Creek

MURFREESBORO’S ESTABLISHED TOWNHOME COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life

The Villas at Indian Creek sits in Murfreesboro’s 37128 zip code off Blackman Road, a location that keeps residents close to everything that makes southwest Murfreesboro practical for daily life. Interstate 24 is about a mile away, making the commute to Nashville or Smyrna as straightforward as it gets in Rutherford County. State Route 840 is also close by, giving residents a direct route west toward Franklin and Williamson County without touching I-24.

The Avenue Murfreesboro, one of Middle Tennessee’s largest open-air retail and dining destinations, is less than a mile from the community’s entrance. Target, HomeGoods, Trader Joe’s, a full lineup of restaurants, and everyday services are all within a short drive without dealing with central Murfreesboro congestion. Streets within the community include Proven Drive, Righteous Drive, Selina Drive, and Staten Drive, along with the Maricopa, Wolves Den, and Sitting Bull crossing addresses that regularly appear in MLS records.

Indian Creek runs nearby, adding a natural element to the setting. Walking trails, a playground, and a picnic and grilling area give residents outdoor options without leaving the community. This is a mature, well-established development that has consistently attracted owner-occupants, young professionals, and investors drawn to the strong rental demand in the Blackman corridor of Murfreesboro.

The Homes

The Villas at Indian Creek is a townhome community with homes built between 2004 and 2019. All 15 closed sales in the past 12 months were classified as townhouses in RealTracs. The typical floorplan is two stories, ranging from 1,260 to 1,500 square feet, with two to three bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath on the main level.

One of the most common configurations is dual primary suites, where each bedroom has its own private full bath. That layout works well for roommate situations, multi-generational living, or buyers who want a proper guest suite rather than a standard secondary bedroom. Many units feature vaulted ceilings in the family room, open kitchen and living layouts, private fenced patios, and assigned parking. End units trade at a premium because they have additional windows and greater separation from neighbors, and that premium shows up clearly in the price-per-square-foot data.

Brick exterior construction is common throughout the community, contributing to durability and lower ongoing maintenance costs. Interior finishes vary by vintage and seller, with many units updated to include LVP flooring, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and fresh paint. Renting is permitted, and pets are allowed, which supports the investor demand that has kept the community active in the rental market.

Amenities

The Villas at Indian Creek delivers amenities that punch well above its price point. Walking trails wind through the development alongside Indian Creek, and residents also have access to a playground, a community park, and a picnic and grilling area. Underground utilities keep the streetscape clean and eliminate the overhead lines that age a neighborhood visually.

The HOA covers exterior maintenance responsibilities, which is one of the core practical advantages of the townhome format. Owners get a maintained community without the burden of exterior upkeep that falls on single-family homeowners. Pets are permitted, and the private fenced patios on most units give residents outdoor space that feels more like a traditional backyard than typical attached housing. For buyers who want walkable or short-drive access to retail and dining, The Avenue corridor delivers Whole Foods, a large cinema, fitness studios, and dozens of dining options.

Schools

The Villas at Indian Creek is located in Rutherford County and zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Based on 12 months of closed sales in RealTracs, 14 of 15 homes feed into Blackman Elementary School, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman High School. One home near the creek corridor is zoned for Overall Creek Elementary, which also feeds into Blackman Middle School and Blackman High School.

The triple Blackman school zone is one of the most consistently requested features among buyers looking in southwest Murfreesboro. Blackman High School routinely appears on state and national rankings for academic performance and extracurriculars, and the Blackman school cluster as a whole is among the strongest in the county. Always confirm your specific address assignment directly with Rutherford County Schools before purchasing, as attendance boundaries can shift.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Villas at Indian Creek

What is the price range for homes at The Villas at Indian Creek?

Based on 15 closed sales over the past 12 months, homes sold between $245,000 and $295,000, with a median of $274,900. The $50,000 spread across the range reflects real differences: end units with updated finishes and more natural light trade at the higher end, while interior units in original condition tend to close at the lower end. Price per square foot ranged from $169 to $218, and understanding which variables drive that gap is essential for buyers making offers and sellers setting a list price.

When were the homes in The Villas at Indian Creek built?

Homes were built between 2004 and 2019, with most of the core townhome inventory dating to the mid-2000s. The community is fully built out, so buyers are entering an established neighborhood rather than an active construction site. The 2004-to-2019 range means most mechanical systems have been updated at least once by attentive owners, and the streetscape has the mature character that takes years to develop in newer communities.

What are the HOA fees at The Villas at Indian Creek, and what do they cover?

Most units carry an HOA fee of $135 per month (approximately $1,620 per year), with a few units at $130 per month based on MLS records. The HOA covers exterior maintenance, grounds maintenance, insurance, and trash pickup depending on the specific unit and governing documents. Walking trails and common area maintenance are also part of the association’s responsibilities. Always verify the current fee and exactly what is included in the HOA documents before closing.

What schools serve The Villas at Indian Creek?

The community is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Most homes are assigned to Blackman Elementary School, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman High School. One home near the Indian Creek corridor is zoned for Overall Creek Elementary, which also feeds into Blackman Middle and Blackman High. The triple Blackman zone is one of the most actively marketed school assignments in the 37128 area and is a primary reason buyers prioritize this community. Always confirm your specific address zoning with Rutherford County Schools before purchasing.

Is The Villas at Indian Creek a good fit for buyers looking for low-maintenance living in the Blackman school zone?

It is one of the stronger options in this category. The townhome format, with HOA-managed exterior maintenance, means owners are not responsible for lawn care, exterior repairs, or the ongoing upkeep that falls on single-family homeowners. The $245,000 to $295,000 price range delivers Blackman school zoning and I-24 access at a cost well below what comparable single-family homes in the same school zone command. For buyers who travel frequently, work long hours, or simply want the flexibility of not worrying about exterior maintenance, the Villas format is a practical match.

Is this community a good investment for rental property in Murfreesboro?

The Villas at Indian Creek has consistently attracted investor activity, which MLS listing descriptions confirm. The Blackman school zone, I-24 proximity, and access to The Avenue retail corridor create stable tenant demand from professionals and families relocating to Murfreesboro. Renting is permitted by the HOA, though buyers should review the governing documents for any restrictions on lease terms or tenant requirements before purchasing as an investment. Contact Patrick Higgins at 615-682-1718 for guidance on current rental projections and investment analysis in the community.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in The Villas at Indian Creek?

Patrick tracks the community at the transaction level, not just as a broad price range. One thing that stands out in the past 12 months is the $49/sq ft spread between the lowest and highest price-per-square-foot sale. A 1,260-square-foot interior unit in original condition closing at $169/sq ft is a very different transaction than a 1,470-square-foot end unit with LVP flooring and new countertops closing at $218/sq ft. For sellers, knowing exactly which features are driving premiums in the current market protects against underpricing. For buyers, that same knowledge prevents overpaying for an interior unit when the listing is positioned like an end unit. Patrick is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with 1,100+ transactions across Rutherford County.

What is my Villas at Indian Creek home worth in today’s market?

Automated tools like Zillow’s Zestimate underperform in a community like this one because they cannot account for the premium difference between an end unit with updated finishes and an interior unit in original condition, or the way HOA structure and unit location interact with value. For a starting point, visit the Nashville Home Guru home value tool.

We have been renting out our Villas at Indian Creek unit for several years. How do we price it right when we are ready to sell?

Long-term investor-sellers in this community face a specific challenge: buyer-occupied comps and investor-tenant comps do not always appraise the same way, and condition matters more here than in higher-price communities because the pool of buyers is more sensitive to move-in-readiness at this price point. If the unit has been maintained but not updated, pricing strategy needs to account for what buyers will ask for in negotiations. If the unit has been substantially improved, the investment in updates needs to be priced appropriately relative to the 15 recent sales that form the comparable pool. Patrick and his team work with long-term investor-sellers regularly and can walk through exactly what to expect in the current market before you commit to a number.

We are relocating from out of state and want to be in the Blackman school zone without committing to a large single-family home. Is The Villas at Indian Creek the right fit?

For families relocating from Georgia, Michigan, Illinois, Virginia, Florida, Texas, or Wisconsin, The Villas at Indian Creek represents one of the most accessible entry points into the Blackman zone in 37128. The $245,000 to $295,000 price range delivers the school zone at a fraction of the cost of new construction single-family homes in the same corridor. Dual primary suites make the layout practical for families with a student and a guest or a home office setup. Patrick and his team regularly facilitate remote purchases for relocating families, including virtual tours, FaceTime walkthroughs, and detailed neighborhood-level data so buyers can make confident decisions without visiting in person first.
