Who builds in Smith Farms

Goodall Homes is the builder at Smith Farms. Goodall is a long-running Middle Tennessee homebuilder and operates as a subsidiary of Clayton Properties Group, which is part of the Berkshire Hathaway family of companies. That backing gives buyers the resources and stability of a national parent alongside a builder that has been building across the Nashville region for years.

Because Goodall is the single builder across the community, the home designs, finishes, and overall build standard stay consistent from street to street. Goodall offers an on-site sales team and a design center where buyers select upgrades and finishes, and the on-site team handles the day-to-day logistics of the build. We work alongside that team to represent you as the buyer, and we're glad to make the introductions and tour the available homes and plans with you.

Commute, access & getting around

Smith Farms sits in Murfreesboro, roughly 33-35 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, with direct access to both I-24 and I-840. Under normal conditions, the drive into downtown Nashville runs about 35-45 minutes via I-24, though that can stretch to well over an hour during peak commute times, with typical slowdowns near the Medical Center Parkway, Highway 96, Sam Ridley Parkway, and Harding Place interchanges. Nashville International Airport (BNA) sits roughly midway along that same I-24 corridor. We're glad to map exact drive times from Smith Farms to your specific office, BNA, or anywhere else that matters to your day-to-day, since traffic patterns vary a lot depending on the hour.

Murfreesboro & Rutherford County context

Murfreesboro is the largest city in Rutherford County and one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee, with a 2025 population estimated at roughly 173,600 residents, up from about 108,800 in 2010, according to U.S. Census-sourced figures. The city is home to Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), which enrolled just over 21,000 students for fall 2025 per MTSU's own reporting - a short drive from Smith Farms and a factor in the area's steady rental and resale demand. Rutherford County's job base includes the Nissan manufacturing plant in neighboring Smyrna (one of the largest auto assembly plants in North America), Amazon distribution operations, and healthcare employers including Ascension Saint Thomas, alongside manufacturers such as General Mills and Cardinal Health. We're happy to talk through what the broader growth and job picture here means for your specific move or investment plans.

HOA & community costs

Smith Farms is governed by a mandatory homeowners association, Smith Farm Master Association, Inc. Based on recent closed-sale data pulled across the community, dues have run in the neighborhood of $60-$75 per month depending on the homesite, covering common-area and walking-trail maintenance and upkeep of the neighborhood's underground utility infrastructure. Dues can change and vary by phase and lot, so we always confirm the exact current amount and coverage on the specific home you're considering before you're under contract.

Nearby parks & area amenities

Beyond the community's own trails and pond, Smith Farms is a short drive from Barfield Crescent Park, a roughly 430-acre Rutherford County park with hiking and biking trails, ballfields, a disc golf course, and a nature center. Murfreesboro's broader retail and dining corridors along Medical Center Parkway, Old Fort Parkway, and the Gateway/Medical Center area are also within easy reach for everyday errands. If you're cross-shopping, Goodall Homes also builds in several other Murfreesboro-area communities, and we can tour those alongside Smith Farms so you can compare lots, plans, and locations side by side.

Investor & buyer cost checklist

If you're evaluating Smith Farms as an investment or simply want to understand the full cost picture, a few figures are worth pulling before you commit. Rutherford County's 2025 property tax rate was $1.8762 per $100 of assessed value, per the Rutherford County Trustee's office; the City of Murfreesboro applies its own additional municipal rate on top of the county rate, so confirm the current combined city-plus-county figure directly with the Rutherford County Trustee or the City of Murfreesboro's property tax office for the specific parcel you're considering. On pricing context (for reference only - we don't predict where prices go from here): Redfin reported a median sale price of $456,000 for the 37129 zip code as of February 2026, up 8.3% year over year, with a median price of roughly $225 per square foot. We can pull the live, current numbers on taxes, insurance estimates, and HOA dues for any specific home at Smith Farms so you're underwriting the deal with real figures, not dated ones.
