Magnolia Grove

Magnolia Grove at a glance

Magnolia Grove sits in southwest Murfreesboro, near Veterans Parkway in Rutherford County, putting it within about 15 minutes of Middle Tennessee State University and the Murfreesboro medical district. It's an actively-selling new-construction community that opened with a ribbon-cutting in May 2022 and has been building out steadily ever since, with single-family homes laid out along streets like Darrell Drive, Hon Circle, Pepper Glendale Drive, and Fuji Apple Lane.

The community is being built across three phases — Phases I and II are largely established, and Phase III, the Estate Series, is currently selling. Homes here are single-family, ranging from right under 2,000 square feet to nearly 4,000, which tends to draw a mix of buyers: people moving up into more space, those relocating to the Murfreesboro and MTSU area, and buyers who want a brand-new home close to the southwest side of town. Because we tour new-construction communities like this constantly, we can help you figure out whether Magnolia Grove fits what you're after compared with the other options nearby.

Who builds in Magnolia Grove

Magnolia Grove is built by Dalamar Homes, a female-owned builder founded in 2006 by Dayla Martin. Dalamar develops the community across its three phases, including the Phase III Estate Series, which is the section actively selling today. Working with a single primary builder across the neighborhood means a consistent feel from street to street and one team standing behind the construction and standard features.

We represent buyers in new construction at little or no cost to you, and because we're in these communities so often, we can walk you through Dalamar's process, the differences between the earlier phases and the Estate Series, and what's available right now. Our role is to help you compare and navigate the build alongside the builder's on-site team — not to replace them.

Homes & floor plans

Homes in Magnolia Grove are single-family, ranging from about 1,947 to 3,954 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms. Pricing currently starts around $434,900, with the larger Estate Series homes reaching higher into the lineup — we pull live numbers for you so you're working from today's figures rather than a list that may have moved.

Lot sizes vary by phase. In Phases I and II, lots generally run about 0.19 to 0.21 acres, while the Phase III Estate Series offers larger lots starting around half an acre and up — a meaningful step up in yard space if that's a priority for you.

Standard features across Dalamar's homes here include 10-foot ceilings, granite countertops, arched entryways, and brick-and-stone exteriors. For current floor plans, elevations, and which homesites are available, Dalamar's official community pages are the best source for plan details, and we're happy to review them with you and line up what fits your needs.

• Single-family homes, 3–5 bedrooms
• Approximately 1,947–3,954 square feet
• 10-foot ceilings and granite countertops as standard
• Arched entryways and brick-and-stone exteriors
• Phase I–II lots ~0.19–0.21 acres; Phase III Estate Series lots 0.5+ acres

Amenities & community life

Magnolia Grove is a full-amenity community. Residents have access to a community pool, a clubhouse, and a fitness center, plus a playground and walking trails for time outdoors. Paved sidewalks run through the neighborhood, making it easy to get around on foot.

Day to day, that mix means you can swim and gather at the clubhouse in the warmer months, keep up a workout without leaving the community, and take walks along the trails and sidewalks. The community operates with a homeowners association that maintains the shared amenities; we'll confirm the current HOA details with you so you know exactly what's covered.

Location, access & schools

The community is located off Veterans Parkway in southwest Murfreesboro, which gives quick access across this side of town. It's roughly 15 minutes from MTSU and the Murfreesboro medical district, so commutes to campus, the hospital corridor, and the broader Murfreesboro area are straightforward.

Magnolia Grove is zoned for Rutherford County Schools. The assigned schools are Salem Elementary, Rockvale Elementary, Rockvale Middle School, and Rockvale High School. School zoning can change, so confirm current assignments directly with the district before you buy, and we can help you check.

Distances, commute & drive times

Magnolia Grove sits off Veterans Parkway, one of southwest Murfreesboro's fastest links to I-24 and I-840 — the parkway is built to get commuters onto the interstate quickly rather than routing everyone through downtown surface streets first. From the neighborhood, Cannonsburgh Village, MTSU's main campus, and Murfreesboro's medical district (anchored by Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital on Medical Center Parkway) are all about a 15-minute drive. Nashville International Airport (BNA) and downtown Nashville are both roughly 30 miles away, commonly cited as about a 30-to-35-minute drive up I-24 outside of peak traffic — though that corridor has gotten busier over the years (state transportation data cited in 2026 commuter reporting shows traffic volumes on the Murfreesboro-area segments of I-24 up more than 60% since 2005), so we'd encourage anyone commuting daily to Nashville to drive the route themselves at their actual departure time rather than rely on a best-case estimate.

HOA dues & builder floor plan names

Magnolia Grove operates with a mandatory homeowners association that funds and maintains the pool, clubhouse, fitness center, playground, and walking trails. Based on recent closed transactions, dues have run around $138 a month (roughly $1,656 a year), though the association can adjust dues and coverage can differ between the original Phases I–II and the Phase III Estate Series — we pull the current, confirmed dues statement and governing documents for your specific homesite before you write an offer rather than relying on a figure from a past closing.

Dalamar's published lineup for the original Magnolia Grove section (Phases I–II) currently includes single-family plans named Puka, Galveston, Big Sur, Cocoa, Nissi, Dania, and Key West, running roughly 2,100 to 2,300 square feet. The Phase III Estate Series carries a separate, larger plan set — Vero, Bora Bora, Pipa, Oreti, Brazil, Maui, Sea Breeze, Malibu, Delray, Destin, Sanibel, and Imperial — spanning roughly 2,081 to 3,840 square feet. Plan names, sizes, and pricing are set by the builder and change as the community sells through, so we confirm the current, active lineup and pricing tier for the phase you're looking at rather than working from a plan list that may already be retired.

Price context & the local market (as of 2026)

For context on where Magnolia Grove's pricing sits in the broader market: Redfin reported a median sale price of $420,000 for the 37128 zip code as of May 2026, with a median of about $215 per square foot, and Zillow's tracked average home value for 37128 was $420,889 as of its most recent update. Countywide, Redfin reported a median sale price of about $435,000 for Rutherford County as of September 2025. Rutherford County's certified 2026 property tax rate is $1.4885 per $100 of assessed value, and the City of Murfreesboro's certified 2026 rate is $0.7529 per $100 of assessed value — both set as revenue-neutral rates following the county's 2026 reappraisal, per Rutherford County's certified rate announcement. We can't predict where prices or tax rates go from here; these are dated snapshots, not projections, and we recommend pulling current figures from the Rutherford County Assessor, the Rutherford County Trustee, and the City of Murfreesboro before you budget.

What investors should verify

If you're looking at Magnolia Grove as a rental or resale investment rather than a primary residence, a few extra checks are worth adding to the standard new-construction diligence: whether the specific section (Phases I–II versus the Phase III Estate Series) has any rental restrictions or a minimum-ownership-before-lease clause in the HOA covenants; how HOA dues and any special assessments compare between phases; the builder's warranty terms in writing for the specific plan and phase; whether comparable resales in Magnolia Grove and nearby southwest Murfreesboro communities support the price point you're underwriting, using current MLS-sourced comps rather than builder list price alone; and current lot premiums or lender-required minimum down payments for the Estate Series' larger homesites. We can pull comps and walk through the HOA documents with you before you make an offer.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move quickly, so before you write an offer it's worth confirming the specifics directly. Have us verify current pricing and incentives, which phase and homesites are available, the exact lot you're considering, the latest HOA dues and what they include, and the current standard-feature list and any optional upgrades.

• Current pricing, incentives, and which homes are move-in ready
• Active phase and available homesites (including the Phase III Estate Series)
• Exact lot size and orientation for your homesite
• Current HOA dues and what they cover
• Standard features versus upgrades on the plan you choose
• Current school assignments with Rutherford County Schools
