Rural living close to the city
On the outskirts of Murfreesboro, Plainview marks the transition from the busy Nashville metro region to the tranquil Tennessee countryside. “I wouldn’t say it’s in the country, but it’s on the way to the country,” says Brad Fowler, a broker with Century 21 Wright Realty. “There’s a few smaller restaurants in Plainview, and within minutes you’re out in big fields and farmland, where the houses have acreage rather than a quarter-acre lot.” Clusters of newer homes break up the rolling hills where agriculture still has a place, and cows and horses peek over fences into the backyards of modern subdivisions. Interstate 24 runs through the heart of the community, making Plainview close enough to town for a quick commute without sacrificing its open skies and fields that add to its rural appeal.
Plainview is experiencing the effects of urban sprawl as more people move out of Murfreesboro.

Architectural evolution in Plainview
Homes in the Plainview area have evolved over time, with single-story brick ranch-style homes dotting the landscape alongside active farmland and modern subdivisions.“In the neighborhood, the price range is anywhere from the mid-$300,000s into the low $400,000s,” says Fowler, a resident of the community. “That’s mainly the newer, larger homes, where there’s as much house on as little land as possible. Properties with acreage will be $600,000 and up for custom builds, where you can put as large a house as you want on those.” The manicured lawns within the subdivisions are sometimes accompanied by roundabouts designed to help traffic flow. Nearby townhouse communities offer units that sell for $265,000 to $350,000, and come with small back yards. Further out, modern farmhouse estates on 5 acres or more sell for $750,000 to $1.5 million, with empty lots and active farms sprawling across dozens of acres selling based purely on acreage. “It’s close to everything you need,” Fowler says. “It’s out far enough to be secluded, or for you to have your own yard in a neighborhood, several acres or everything in between. That’s what I love about it.”

Outdoor fun on the ground and in the water
Residents deep in the countryside don’t need parks; they can simply enjoy the woods and creeks on their own land.

Local eateries and convenient shops
Tucked within the furthest northwest corner of the neighborhood, shopping and dining sits along State Route 231.

Highly-ranked Rutherford County Schools
For students, learning begins at Buchanan Elementary School or Plainview Elementary School. Buchanan gets a B-plus from Niche; Plainview, opened in 2021, has yet to be graded by the site. They might move up to Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School or Plainview, both of which are also graded as B-plus schools by Niche. Central Magnet School – rated the best public middle school in Tennessee by Niche, is an exclusive school for grades six through 12 and earns an A-plus. Most students will finish at Rockvale High School, also rated a B-plus by Niche. It’s a fairly new school that opened in 2019. Even so, their women’s swim team took the MTHSSA Division III-B championship in their first year. Private options are available in Murfreesboro, including Providence Christian Academy, Middle Tennessee Christian School, and Saint Rose of Lima Catholic School.

Easy travel in and out of Murfreesboro
Public transportation is nonexistent in Plainview, so residents rely on their cars and trucks. Interstate 24 and State Route 41 cut through the neighborhood, merging in the southeastern end, providing direct routes to Murfreesboro and Nashville. It helps to cut the 10-mile drive to the heart of Murfreesboro to 15 minutes. These routes also keep the drive to Ascension St. Thomas Rutherford, the nearest 24-hour emergency care center, within 20 minutes - even from the furthest points of the community that are 18 miles away. Nashville International Airport is the closest commercial airport, roughly 40 miles away from the center of Plainview - usually a 50-minute drive.
Holiday festivities and weekly events in Murfreesboro
Residents head to Murfreesboro for festivities throughout the year, from holiday events to weekly activities like the Murfreesboro Farmer’s Market, which runs from May through the end of October. “It’s a weekly thing with tons of variety,” says Fowler, “and they do a concert series once a month during the summer. Murfreesboro puts a lot of effort into being a family community, keeping a small-town feel but with all the amenities.”
Short Creek Baptist Church is a historic church in the Plainview neighborhood.
Houses of Worship
Plainview is home to a number of congregations, from the Shri Krishna Pranami Mandir, the Short Creek Baptist Church and Hoover’s Gap Church deep in the countryside, to New Vision Baptist Church closer to Murfreesboro. The Wat Amphawan of America is in nearby Christiana, while Murfreesboro itself is home to options, including Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church and Murfreesboro Community Church.
