Meadowlark

Meadowlark at a glance

Meadowlark is a new-construction community in Murfreesboro, in Rutherford County, built by Toll Brothers and actively selling since its February 2025 opening. It sits at 2615 Wilkinson Pike, just off the Medical Center Parkway interchange of I-24, which puts downtown Nashville roughly 35 to 45 minutes up the road. The location is a big part of the appeal here: the community is adjacent to Clari Park and within walking distance of The Avenue Murfreesboro, so everyday shopping and dining are close at hand without giving up a quieter residential setting.

The community is organized into two distinct collections of low-maintenance homes. The Sapling Collection is a group of 77 three-story townhomes, and the Radnor Collection is a smaller group of 27 two-story single-family homes. Every home is delivered with all-brick or fiber cement exteriors and a rear-entry two-car garage, and the HOA is maintenance-inclusive, covering lawn care and trash. That mix tends to attract buyers who want a brand-new home and a lock-and-leave lifestyle close to amenities rather than a large yard to maintain, including out-of-state buyers relocating to Middle Tennessee and people right-sizing into something newer and lower-upkeep.

Who builds in Meadowlark

Meadowlark is built entirely by Toll Brothers, a national, NYSE-listed homebuilder, with the company's Tennessee division (led by division president Jordan Hartigan) developing the community. Having a single builder across both collections means the architecture, exterior materials, and construction standards are consistent throughout, and buyers work with one onsite sales team for the whole neighborhood.

Toll Brothers handles both home types here: the townhome side under the Sapling Collection and the single-family side under the Radnor Collection. Because we tour Toll Brothers communities and others across Middle Tennessee regularly, we can help you compare how Meadowlark's product and pricing stack up against other new-construction options, and walk you through the build process from contract to closing.

Homes & floor plans

Meadowlark offers two home types across its two collections. The Sapling Collection is made up of three-story townhomes ranging from about 1,869 to 2,070 square feet, and the Radnor Collection is two-story single-family homes ranging from about 2,268 to 2,303 square feet. Across both collections, homes are offered with 3 to 4 bedrooms and roughly 2 to 3 baths.

Pricing evidence we have seen starts around $427,000 for townhomes and around $499,995 for single-family homes, but new-construction numbers move with phase, lot, finishes, and incentives. We pull the live, current numbers for you before you make any decisions. Lot sizes here are not publicly disclosed, so that is one of the items we confirm directly. For the most current floor plans, square footages, and elevations, the builder publishes plan details for each collection on the official Toll Brothers Meadowlark community page, and we are happy to pull and walk through those with you.

• All-brick or fiber cement exteriors on every home
• Rear-entry two-car garages
• Sapling Collection: 77 three-story townhomes, 3-4 bed, ~1,869–2,070 sq ft
• Radnor Collection: 27 two-story single-family homes, 3-4 bed, ~2,268–2,303 sq ft
• Maintenance-inclusive HOA covering lawn care and trash

Amenities & community life

Meadowlark is designed around a low-maintenance, amenity-rich day-to-day. The HOA includes lawn maintenance and trash removal, which keeps weekends free of yard work and is a draw for buyers who travel or simply prefer not to manage upkeep. Shared amenities include walking trails, a community pavilion, and fire pits, plus an outdoor sculpture by artist Michael Baggarly that gives the community a distinctive sense of place.

The setting extends the community's livability beyond its borders. Meadowlark is adjacent to Clari Park, and The Avenue Murfreesboro, an open-air shopping and dining destination, is within walking distance. That combination of green space next door and retail a short walk away is part of what makes the neighborhood feel connected to the wider Murfreesboro area.

Location, access & schools

Meadowlark is located off the Medical Center Parkway interchange of I-24 at 2615 Wilkinson Pike, with neighborhood streets including Wilkinson Pike and Willowoak Trail. The interstate access makes commuting straightforward, with Nashville roughly 35 to 45 minutes away depending on traffic, and the broader Murfreesboro retail, medical, and dining corridor close by. Clari Park sits adjacent to the community, and The Avenue Murfreesboro is walkable for shopping and dining.

Meadowlark is served by Rutherford County Schools. The zoned schools are Brown's Chapel Elementary and Poplar Hill Elementary, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman High School. School zoning and attendance boundaries can change, so we recommend confirming the current assignment for a specific address with the district before you write an offer, and we can help you do that.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details change as a community sells through, so a few items are worth confirming with us before you write an offer. We will pull the current builder and MLS numbers, available quick move-in homes (11 were available as of the most recent update), the active phase and remaining inventory in each collection, the current HOA dues and exactly what they cover, lot specifics for the home you are considering, and any current builder incentives. We confirm all of this directly with the onsite team so you are working from live information rather than estimates.

• Current pricing for the specific plan and home
• Which phase is selling and what inventory remains
• Available quick move-in / spec homes and their delivery timing
• Exact HOA dues and what they include
• Lot specifics for the home you are considering
• Any current builder incentives

Commute & drive times

Meadowlark sits right off the Medical Center Parkway interchange of I-24, which is the corridor that also carries you to I-840 for a loop around Nashville's south side. Middle Tennessee State University is about 5 miles from the community, according to the builder's own community page, which makes Meadowlark a realistic option for MTSU faculty, staff, or parents buying for a student. Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital, the area's main hospital campus, sits on the same Medical Center Parkway corridor a short drive away, and the wider medical, office, and retail district around Medical Center Parkway is one of Murfreesboro's primary employment centers. We can pull turn-by-turn drive times to your specific workplace, MTSU building, or the hospital before you commit.

Clari Park & the Gateway District next door

What sits next to Meadowlark is bigger than a neighborhood park. Clari Park is a roughly 78-acre mixed-use development from Hines, the national real estate firm, located in Murfreesboro's Gateway District, the same commercial and entertainment corridor anchored by The Avenue Murfreesboro. Hines' first phase includes a Class A, 300-unit apartment community called The Residences at Clari Park, and the master plan also calls for single-family homes, townhomes, restaurants, and entertainment space as it builds out in phases, per Hines' own project announcements. For a Meadowlark buyer, that means the immediate surroundings are still being built and will keep adding retail, dining, and entertainment options within walking distance over the next several years, not that a finished park amenity exists today. We track how build-out is progressing and can walk you through what's open versus what's still under construction.

Rutherford County growth context

Rutherford County has been Tennessee's fastest-growing county for eight consecutive years and, as of mid-2025, overtook Hamilton County in total population, making it the state's fourth most populous county, according to University of Tennessee Boyd Center research cited by local reporting. Murfreesboro itself is estimated at roughly 175,000 residents as of 2026, up from about 153,800 at the 2020 Census. We share this as context on demand and infrastructure trends in the area, not as a price or appreciation forecast. Past growth does not guarantee future growth, and we can't predict what home values will do; we can only point you to the data as of today and help you evaluate the fundamentals for your own decision.

Taxes & carrying costs

Meadowlark is inside Murfreesboro city limits, so it carries both a county and a city property tax rate rather than the county-only rate you'd see on an unincorporated Rutherford County property. The certified 2026 rates are $1.4885 per $100 of assessed value for Rutherford County and $0.7529 per $100 for the City of Murfreesboro, per the county's certified tax rate announcement; local governing bodies can adopt those certified rates or vote for a different rate, so we recommend confirming the current combined rate and the specific parcel's assessment with the county assessor before you close. On top of taxes, HOA dues here fund the maintenance-inclusive package (lawn care, trash, and common-area upkeep) described earlier in this guide; we confirm the exact current dues with the builder for the specific home you're considering, since published figures can shift.

Investor & rental considerations

• Confirm the HOA's current rental policy and any lease-minimum or rental-cap rules directly with the HOA, since these can change as a community fills in
• Get the current combined city + county property tax bill for the specific parcel from the Rutherford County Assessor and City of Murfreesboro, not just the published certified rate
• Ask the builder or HOA whether Clari Park's continued build-out affects construction traffic, noise, or access in the near term
• Compare townhome vs. single-family carrying costs (HOA dues, tax rate, insurance) since the two collections have different maintenance splits
• Verify current mortgage rates and any builder-paid rate buydowns or closing-cost incentives with your lender and the onsite sales team, since these change frequently
• Ask for comparable lease rates in nearby Murfreesboro new-construction communities if you're evaluating this as a rental property

Meadowlark FAQ

Is Meadowlark a 55-plus or age-restricted community?
