Living in Murfreesboro, Tennessee: A Place to Call Home

“Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.”
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

If you're thinking about moving to Middle Tennessee, Murfreesboro deserves a spot on your list. Located in Rutherford County, Murfreesboro combines the conveniences of a growing city with the history, outdoor spaces, shopping, dining, and community connections that make it feel like home.

As a local real estate professional, I get to see Murfreesboro from more than one perspective. It's not simply a place to buy a house - it's a community where people live, work, build businesses, spend weekends, and put down roots.

Located in the Heart of Middle Tennessee

One of the benefits of living in Murfreesboro is its Middle Tennessee location. Interstate 24 provides a direct route toward Nashville, while I-840 gives residents access to other parts of the region.

That location can make Murfreesboro worth considering for buyers who want access to the greater Nashville area while establishing their home in Rutherford County.

Plenty to Do Close to Home

Murfreesboro offers a variety of ways to spend a day without leaving town.

History is part of the city's landscape. Stones River National Battlefield preserves the site of the Civil War Battle of Stones River and also provides trails and outdoor areas to explore. The battlefield connects with portions of Murfreesboro's greenway system.

Closer to downtown, Cannonsburgh Village offers a glimpse into Tennessee life from an earlier era.

If getting outdoors is more your style, Murfreesboro has an extensive parks and recreation system. The city reports more than 1,200 acres of parks, facilities, greenway and open spaces.

Barfield Crescent Park is one of the city's larger recreational areas, with hiking opportunities, natural areas and other amenities. Murfreesboro's greenway system also provides miles of paved trails for walking, running and bicycling.

For shopping and dining, residents have numerous choices throughout Murfreesboro, including The Avenue Murfreesboro along Medical Center Parkway, as well as locally owned businesses around the historic downtown area.

Murfreesboro Real Estate

One thing buyers quickly discover is that there isn't just one type of Murfreesboro home.

Depending on the area and what's currently available, you may find established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, new construction, townhomes, larger properties and homes with very different lot sizes and features.

That's why searching for a home here should start with more than a price range.

Think about your everyday priorities. How much space do you need? Is a particular commute important? Do you prefer an established neighborhood or new construction? Would you rather be closer to shopping and restaurants or have more room around you?

Those answers can help narrow a Murfreesboro home search considerably.
