The McMurray neighborhood is in an area in Nashville that's popular for its mid-20th-century charm. Although there are plenty of 1950s and 1960s homes here, there is more housing variety, and it is relatively more affordable than some of its neighbors. Additionally, McMurray is right off Nolensville Pike, well known for its mom and pop restaurants and international dining scene.
“McMurray is a well-established southern Nashville residential area, known for its mature lots and quieter, suburban vibe,” says Jennifer Erickson, a Realtor with SimpliHOM. Renters make up about two-thirds of the area and live in complexes like the Jamestown Apartments and Brentwood Hills Luxury Townhouses, as well as various single-family homes. Homebuyers will find ranch-style homes, a few Colonial Revivals and recently built contemporary homes. Communities with condos and townhouses for sale include Brighton Village.
Getting a home here might mean doing work like removing shag carpets and renovating bathrooms. However, some of the older details remain popular. “I’m literally seeing buyers starting to prefer keeping the original '50s and '60s tile, if it’s in good condition,” says Ben Kaufman, a Realtor with Tyler York Real Estate Brokers.
The median home sale price in the neighborhood is in the upper $300,000s. That is lower than neighbors, Crieve Hall and Bradford Hills, both of which are in the mid- to upper $600,000s. “It’s often considered a more affordable alternative to nearby areas like Crieve Hall, [but] with similar character and access to city amenities,” Erickson says. Although condos and townhouses help with the lower costs, Kaufman and other agents say McMurray’s prices are also due to its homes often needing a little more work than those in nearby neighborhoods.
Homes mostly sell from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$600,000s, while a few that are about 2,500 square feet or more sell between the mid-$700,000s and $1 million. Condos start under $100,000, and townhouses sell for as high as the lower $400,000s.
The McMurray area is in a few city school zones. Students may start at Norman Binkley Elementary School or the highly-rated Granbery Elementary School, both of which are in the nearby Crieve Hall area. The neighborhood is home to McMurray Middle School, but students may also go to Croft Middle or William Henry Oliver Middle schools. All those schools feed into John Overton High School. As a Cambridge school, John Overton lets its students take advanced courses and get an international education.
Although people here usually drive to get around Nashville, McMurray is close to several WeGo bus stops on Nolensville Pike. Otherwise, commuters are close to a few major roads and highways:
There is a large and diverse mix of restaurants around Nolensville Pike:
The neighborhood is next to Whitfield Park, which has sports fields, a playground and a trail that passes by woods and open fields. The park is near the Tennessee Agricultural Museum, where visitors learn about the state’s farming history through a vast collection of vintage equipment and tools. They can also walk the nature trails near the building and spend time in an iris garden. If you want to do indoor rock climbing, stop by The Crag.
