Sprawling suburbia in Rockvale

Within commuting distance of Nashville, Rockvale offers a peaceful suburban lifestyle for those looking for quiet streets with rolling hills, a bit of land providing a sense of privacy, nearby amenities and highly-ranked schools. Western Rutherford County is booming with new development since there is still quite a bit of untouched land around here, especially close to Blackman, where commuters have easy access to Interstate 24,” says Jeff Letzler, affiliate broker with John Jones Real Estate LLC, who has been in the industry for 4 years and is a lifelong Murfreesboro resident. “Many people that work in Nashville and Brentwood are venturing into the area for more affordable homes and the newly built schools. For comparison, the average price for a home in Rutherford County is around the mid $400,000s versus $1.2 million in Williamson County,” Letzler says.

Homes for urban commuters

One can find homes ranging from newly built, luxury townhouses centered around the communities of Salem and Blackman to traditional brick homes with attached two-car garages and colonials on large, private lots. Prospective homebuyers can score a townhouse with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances in the $300,000 range, while the median sales price for a single-family home hovers around $480,000. Listings can range from a small, two-bed, one-bath on over an acre for $215,000, while many homes with 2,000 to 3,000 square feet of living space can sell between the $400,000s to the $700,000s. Buyers can also score multimillion-dollar properties on acres of land, such as a gorgeous traditional style home with a five-car garage, an inground pool and a sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows for $1.5 million.

The town is also known for hosting the longest-running July 4th celebration in Rutherford County, filled with hayrides and family-friendly fun. Here, locals can listen to live music, compete in a cornhole tournament, and watch the iconic smash-a-car demolition.
