Creeksbend

Creeksbend at a glance

Creeksbend is an active single-family new-construction community in the Silver Hill area of Murfreesboro, in northern Rutherford County. It sits along Silverhill Drive and Creekbend Lane just off US 231, near the State Route 840 connector, which puts it roughly 30 minutes from Nashville. The streets here — Bakersview Street, Bluecreek Circle, Creekbend Lane, Hickory Ridge, and Silverhill Drive — wind through a community designed around its creek-side setting, with sidewalks running throughout and pavilion, trail, and fishing amenities built into the plan. Because the community is in unincorporated northern Rutherford County, homeowners here pay no city taxes.

What you're buying is brand-new single-family product from a single, well-known Middle Tennessee builder. Homes run from 1,335 to 2,618 square feet across 11 floor plans, with 3 to 4 bedrooms, two-car garages, and kitchen appliances included, on lots that typically run around 0.40 acres and reach up to 0.65 acres. Pricing starts around $367,000 and rises from there as plans and lots vary. Buyers here tend to be people who want a new home with a generous lot and an easy 840 connection to the rest of the metro — including a lot of out-of-state buyers relocating to Middle Tennessee. Because we tour new-construction communities like this one constantly, we help you compare plans and lots and navigate the build at little or no cost to you.

Who builds in Creeksbend

Creeksbend is built by Ole South Properties, a long-established Middle Tennessee homebuilder. Ole South is the only builder developing this community, so the home series, floor plans, included features, and pricing all come from one company — which makes the buying experience more consistent than a multi-builder master plan, where inclusions and finishes shift from section to section.

Creeksbend has been one of the top-performing neighborhoods in this part of Rutherford County for the past ten years, which speaks to steady, ongoing delivery here rather than a single quick phase. We represent buyers at Creeksbend at little or no cost to you, so you're free to walk the available plans and inventory homes and let us help you read Ole South's pricing, included features, and build timelines on an apples-to-apples basis against other communities you're considering.

Homes & floor plans

Creeksbend is all single-family new construction. There are 11 floor plans, ranging from 1,335 to 2,618 square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms. Every home includes a two-car garage and kitchen appliances, and they sit on lots that are generous for new construction — typically around 0.40 acres, with some reaching up to 0.65 acres. On a price-per-square-foot basis, homes here have generally penciled out in the $219–$232 range, with starting prices around $367,000.

Ole South publishes the full plan lineup, current elevations, and available inventory on its official Creeksbend community page, and that's the most current source for which specific plans and homesites are open right now. Plans, finishes, and inventory move week to week in an active community, so when you find a plan you like, we'll pull the live numbers and current availability for you before you get attached to a particular lot.

Amenities & community life

Creeksbend is laid out around its natural setting rather than a big clubhouse-and-pool amenity package. The community centers on a pavilion with picnic areas, plus walking trails and nature trails and fishing platforms that take advantage of the creek-side land the neighborhood is named for. Sidewalks run throughout the community, so the day-to-day here leans toward walking the trails, getting out to the water, and connected, walkable streets.

• Walking trails and nature trails
• Fishing platforms
• Picnic areas
• Sidewalks throughout the community

Location, access & schools

Creeksbend is in the Silver Hill community of northern Rutherford County, just off US 231 and near State Route 840. The 840 connector is the practical advantage here: it loops you around the south side of the metro and out to I-24 and I-65 without cutting through downtown Murfreesboro or Nashville, and the drive to Nashville runs roughly 30 minutes. Because the community sits in unincorporated county rather than inside city limits, there are no city taxes on these homes.

Creeksbend is zoned to Rutherford County Schools. As of the current zoning, the assigned schools are Wilson Elementary, Siegel Middle School, and Siegel High School. School zoning can change with rezoning and growth, so confirm the current assigned schools for a specific address with Rutherford County Schools before you rely on it — and we're glad to help you check the boundary for the exact homesite you're considering.

What to verify before you buy

New construction moves quickly, so a few things are worth confirming with us before you write an offer at Creeksbend:

• Current pricing and which floor plans and inventory homes are actually available right now
• The current phase and how many homesites remain in the section you're looking at
• Whether the community has an HOA and, if so, the current dues and what they cover — confirm the figure in the recorded documents, not an estimate
• The exact lot — dimensions, grade, drainage, and any easements — for the specific homesite
• Builder included features versus options, and any current incentives Ole South is offering
• The current zoned schools for the specific address with Rutherford County Schools

We pull live numbers and current availability for you, and we'll walk the lot and read the builder's contract and inclusions with you so there are no surprises between the model home and your closing.

Getting there: commute, employers, and daily errands

Ole South's own directions to Creeksbend run north on Memorial Boulevard/US 231, a left onto Old Lebanon Road about 4.5 miles past Walter Hill School, then a left onto Silverhill Drive into the community — a useful landmark if you're driving out to see it yourself. From there, State Route 840 is close by, giving you a loop around the south side of the metro to I-24 toward Nashville or west toward I-65 and Nissan's Smyrna assembly plant, without cutting through downtown Murfreesboro. Rutherford County's larger destinations — MTSU, Murfreesboro's retail on Old Fort Parkway and Medical Center Parkway, and Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital at 1700 Medical Center Pkwy — sit on the opposite side of Murfreesboro from Creeksbend, so plan on a drive across town rather than a short hop for those. Grocery and retail (Kroger has several Murfreesboro locations; Publix also operates in the market) are a short drive rather than walkable, since Creeksbend sits in a more rural, unincorporated pocket of the county. We'd rather have you time the actual drive from a specific address at the hours you'd really be driving it than rely on a map estimate — ask and we'll help you check it.

Ole South Properties: the builder behind Creeksbend

Ole South was founded in 1986 by John Floyd and has built almost exclusively in Middle Tennessee since — Nashville, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, Spring Hill, Fairview, and other communities in the region. The company grew from its first house in year one to over 100 homes in 1989, closed more than 700 homes in 2004, and pulled back through the 2007–2009 downturn before growing into what is now, by its own account, the largest privately owned homebuilder headquartered in Tennessee — closing over 1,000 homes in 2020 alone (as of Builder Magazine's Builder 100 reporting). The company and its founder have collected close to 50 home-building industry awards over the years, including multiple "Builder of the Year" recognitions from the Tennessee Housing Development Agency spanning 2012–2017. (Source: olesouth.com/about-us and Builder Magazine, as of 2026.) That kind of long, continuously operating track record in this same region is a reasonable data point on staying power for a single-builder community like Creeksbend — though it isn't a guarantee about any individual home or lot. Ask us for Ole South's current written warranty terms and we'll walk through them with you.

Rutherford County growth context & investor notes

Creeksbend sits inside one of the fastest-growing counties in the country. Rutherford County has been Tennessee's fastest-growing county for eight consecutive years and, per Boyd Center for Business and Economic Research projections cited in mid-2025 reporting, overtook Hamilton County to become the state's 4th-most-populous county, with roughly 386,000 residents as of a 2025 estimate. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2025 estimate for the City of Murfreesboro itself was about 173,625 residents, up from 152,769 at the 2020 census. Growth of this kind has been a defining feature of this corridor for decades, but past growth is not a promise about the future, and we can't predict where prices or demand go from here — we can only show you what has actually happened, sourced and dated.

If you're evaluating Creeksbend as a rental or hold rather than a primary residence: confirm whether the HOA's recorded covenants place any restrictions or minimum lease terms on rentals before you count on being able to lease the home; get the actual recorded HOA dues figure in writing rather than a third-party listing estimate, which we were not able to independently confirm as of this writing; and verify the applicable property tax rate, since Creeksbend sits outside Murfreesboro's city limits in unincorporated Rutherford County — the county's 2026 certified unincorporated rate is $1.4885 per $100 of assessed value, versus $0.7529 per $100 inside Murfreesboro (Source: Rutherford County 2026 certified tax rate announcement). We don't provide investment or financial advice, but we can gather the actual numbers on a specific home so you or your advisor can run them.

Frequently asked questions
