Residents of Rutherford County have the benefi t of urban conveniences along with the pastoral beauty of the countryside. Attracted by affordable housing, good schools and job opportunities, residents here enjoy a variety of cultural, educational and recreational opportunities.
Rutherford County continues to receive national recognition for the quality of life it offers. Forbes magazine recently ranked the Nashville/Davidson County- MurfreesboroFranklin area fourth on its list of “Best Cities for Jobs,” and in 2015 Murfreesboro ranked 11th on Wallet Hub’s list of Fastest Growing Cities. Murfreesboro, the county’s largest city, is the geographic center of the state. Higher education is easily accessible at Middle Tennessee State University and the Tennessee Technology Center at Murfreesboro. And there are a host of historic, cultural and educational sites here, including the Discovery Center at Murfree Spring, Stones River National Battlefi eld and the Sam Davis Home.
Home buyers can fi nd small-town luxury at Murfreesboro’s Wynthrope Hall, while townhomes and spacious single-family homes are available at Evergreen Farms. Affordable new singlefamily homes are found just south of the city at Buchanan Estates in the Christiana community.
Located just outside of Murfreesboro is the city of Smyrna, an area exploding with retail and business development complemented by affordable quality housing. Colonial Town Park shopping center includes retail establishments like Kohl’s and a Super Target. Smyrna offers opportunities for higher education at its branch center for Motlow State Community College (based in Lynchburg).
Just minutes away in La Vergne — which made Nerd- Wallet’s list of 10 Best Cities for African-Americans — sits the state’s largest industrial park. La Vergne is also home to the headquarters of several big businesses, including Ingram Books and Bridgestone/Firestone.
