Westhaven Estates

MURFREESBORO’S ALL-BRICK ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY

Location & Daily Life in Westhaven Estates

Westhaven Estates sits in west Murfreesboro’s 37128 zip code, tucked off Cason Lane along Maylon Drive, Joben Drive, and Baulcom Court. The location puts residents within about five minutes of Veterans Parkway’s full retail corridor, including Sam’s Club, Target, and a wide range of restaurants and services. The Murfreesboro Medical Center and St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital are both within a 10-minute drive, a practical advantage for families and older residents alike.

Commuters heading to Nashville are typically looking at 35 to 45 minutes via I-24 West under normal traffic conditions. For work trips to Smyrna, LaVergne, or the Amazon and Nissan corridors in Rutherford County, the drive times are shorter. The community sits in a well-connected part of west Murfreesboro where established neighborhoods and newer developments share the same zip code, giving residents the feel of an in-place community without the commute burden of more rural Rutherford County addresses.

Westhaven Estates was built in 2005 and 2006, placing it in a cohort of Murfreesboro subdivisions developed during the mid-2000s growth wave before the market correction. The result is a quiet, fully-built-out neighborhood where the trees have matured and the streets are established. You are not buying adjacent to an active construction zone.

The Homes in Westhaven Estates

The homes in Westhaven Estates are predominantly all-brick construction, which is one of the defining characteristics of the neighborhood. Of the five closed sales in the past 12 months, four were fully all-brick and one combined brick with vinyl siding. That material profile matters at resale because all-brick homes in Rutherford County consistently command a premium over comparable vinyl or frame construction. Buyers relocating from the Midwest or Southeast who prioritize build quality tend to gravitate toward communities like Westhaven Estates for this reason.

Floor plans range from 2,307 to 2,585 square feet, with three and four bedrooms and two full baths as the standard configuration. Every closed sale in the past year included a two-car garage. Stories range from 1.5 to 2, giving buyers options depending on whether they prefer a primary bedroom on the main level or a more traditional two-story layout. Lot sizes run from 0.27 to 0.41 acres, which is meaningful space in a Murfreesboro context where many newer communities push lots below a quarter acre.

The price per square foot across closed sales in the last 12 months ranged from $180 to $204. That spread reflects real differences in interior condition and finishes rather than just square footage variations. A fully renovated kitchen and updated bathrooms move the needle in this community, and buyers competing in the $460,000 to $470,000 range should understand they are often bidding on those move-in-ready finishes.

Amenities & Community Features

Westhaven Estates is a low-HOA community with annual fees between $160 and $192, depending on how individual lots were set up at time of purchase. The fees are structured to maintain common elements without the higher cost burden of communities with gated access, pools, or full-service amenities. For buyers who want a clean, well-maintained neighborhood without monthly HOA payments that rival a car payment, Westhaven Estates hits that balance well.

The neighborhood’s appeal is largely in the homes themselves and the surrounding access. Cason Lane connects directly to Veterans Parkway, putting Murfreesboro’s primary commercial spine within minutes. Barfield Crescent Park, one of Rutherford County’s most popular recreation destinations with soccer fields, walking trails, and a dog park, is a short drive away. The west Murfreesboro YMCA is also accessible without crossing into traffic-heavy areas of the city.

Schools Serving Westhaven Estates

Westhaven Estates is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. The majority of homes are zoned for Cason Lane Academy (elementary), Rockvale Middle School (junior high), and Rockvale High School. One sale in the 12-month data set carried a Blackman High School assignment, which reflects the district boundary lines that run through sections of this area. Buyers should always confirm their specific school assignment based on the parcel address, as zone boundaries can vary street to street in west Murfreesboro.

Rutherford County Schools operates as a separate district from Metro Nashville Public Schools. Every home in Westhaven Estates, and across all four Murfreesboro zip codes, is served by Rutherford County Schools. Cason Lane Academy is a well-regarded elementary within the district, and both Rockvale and Blackman high schools carry strong athletic and academic programs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Westhaven Estates

What do homes in Westhaven Estates sell for?
Closed sales over the past 12 months ranged from $450,000 to $470,000, with a median of $460,000 and an average of $459,000. The price range is relatively tight, which reflects the community’s consistent size profile of 2,307 to 2,585 square feet and the predominantly all-brick construction type. What moves prices within the community is interior condition. The price per square foot spread of $180 to $204 tells the story: updated kitchens, refreshed baths, and newer flooring push toward the top of that range while homes in original condition land closer to the bottom.

When was Westhaven Estates built and who were the builders?
Westhaven Estates was developed in 2005 and 2006 as part of the Murfreesboro growth wave of the mid-2000s. The community is fully built-out, meaning no new construction activity. Homes are not presale or spec-build situations. The primary construction type is all-brick, which was a standard offering from multiple Rutherford County builders active in that era. If you need the specific builder name for a particular parcel, that can be confirmed through the original deed or building permits on file with Rutherford County.

Does Westhaven Estates have an HOA?
Yes, but the fees are among the lowest in west Murfreesboro. Annual HOA costs across recent closed sales ranged from $160 to $192, structured as either monthly or quarterly payments. There is no evidence in the MLS data of resort-style amenities such as a pool or clubhouse, which explains the low fee structure. For buyers coming from communities with $200 to $400 monthly HOA fees, Westhaven Estates represents a significantly lower carrying cost with a comparable neighborhood feel.

What schools serve Westhaven Estates?
Westhaven Estates is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. Most homes are assigned to Cason Lane Academy (elementary), Rockvale Middle School (junior high), and Rockvale High School. One address in the 12-month data set carried a Blackman High School assignment, reflecting the district boundary that runs through parts of west Murfreesboro’s 37128 zip code. Always confirm your specific parcel’s school assignment before purchase, as boundaries vary at the street level. These are Rutherford County Schools, entirely separate from Metro Nashville Public Schools.

How large is Westhaven Estates and what styles of homes are available?
Westhaven Estates is a smaller established community with homes concentrated along Maylon Drive, Joben Drive, and Baulcom Court. Floor plans run from 2,307 to 2,585 square feet, with three and four-bedroom configurations and two full baths. Stories range from 1.5 to 2, so buyers who want a primary suite on the main level will find options here. Lot sizes of 0.27 to 0.41 acres provide genuine yard space, and every sale in the past year included a two-car garage.

What is the all-brick premium worth in Westhaven Estates?
All-brick construction carries a real premium in Rutherford County, though the market does not always price it perfectly. In smaller communities like Westhaven Estates with a limited comparable set, brick homes can trade at the same price as a vinyl-sided home across the street simply because there are not enough direct comps to make the distinction clear. Patrick Higgins accounts for material type when preparing a market analysis because the actual cost to reside a home in vinyl versus the permanence of all-brick is a meaningful ownership consideration, even when the market has not fully priced the spread.

Is Westhaven Estates a good fit for families relocating to Murfreesboro?
It is a strong candidate, particularly for families moving from Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, or other markets where a $460,000 budget typically buys something smaller or farther out. Westhaven Estates offers 2,300+ square feet, all-brick construction, two-car garages, and lots up to 0.41 acres in a fully-built neighborhood with mature trees. The Rockvale school zone is a draw for families who prioritize a specific high school environment. Commute times to Nashville run 35 to 45 minutes, and the daily amenities along Veterans Parkway handle most household needs without a longer drive. For relocating families who want an established neighborhood at a price point that still leaves room in the budget, Westhaven Estates prices out favorably against newer west Murfreesboro communities that charge more for smaller lots and vinyl exteriors.

How does Patrick Higgins approach buying or selling in Westhaven Estates?
The price per square foot in Westhaven Estates ranged from $180 to $204 across five closed sales, a $24-per-square-foot spread within a community where every home has a two-car garage and nearly identical square footage profiles. That spread is not about location, it is about condition. Patrick pays close attention to what specific improvements drove sales to the top of that range and uses that data to counsel sellers on where to invest before listing and to help buyers understand when they are paying a premium for finishes versus genuine value. He is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent with 1,100+ career transactions, and his approach in smaller, established communities like this one is to build the comparable set carefully rather than defaulting to a price-per-square-foot average.

Coming Soon listings are visible on Compass.com before they appear on Zillow, Realtor.com, or RealTracs.

What is my Westhaven Estates home worth in today’s market?
Automated tools like Zillow’s Zestimate are notoriously inconsistent in smaller communities like Westhaven Estates. With only five closed sales in the past 12 months, the algorithm has limited data to work from, and it cannot account for whether your home has an updated kitchen, which direction your lot faces, whether you have a 1.5-story or full two-story layout, or whether your exterior is all-brick versus partial vinyl. Those details move price meaningfully in this community. The most reliable starting point is the Hifello home value tool linked below, which draws on current MLS data and can be a useful reference. From there, a conversation with Patrick provides the context that no automated tool can replicate. Patrick can be reached directly at 615-682-1718.

We have owned our Westhaven Estates home since 2006 and are thinking about selling. How do we price it right?
Long-term owners in Westhaven Estates are in an interesting position. You likely purchased when the neighborhood was new, and the home has appreciated significantly. But pricing it right today requires more than running a simple price-per-square-foot calculation against five recent sales. The condition gap between a home maintained and updated over 19 years and one that has been left in original condition can be $20,000 or more in this community. Buyers in the $450,000 to $470,000 range are comparing Westhaven Estates against newer vinyl-exterior alternatives in 37128, so the all-brick advantage needs to be legible in the listing and reflected in the price. Patrick’s approach is to quantify the value of your specific finishes and condition relative to recent sales rather than defaulting to the median. If you have updated the kitchen, bathrooms, or HVAC system, that work has value and should be priced accordingly. Call 615-682-1718 for a private, no-obligation market analysis.
