Sycamore Grove

Sycamore Grove at a glance

Sycamore Grove is an active new-construction community in Murfreesboro, in Rutherford County, Tennessee. The development spans roughly 105 acres and is planned for 229 single-family homes. Homes here began closing in 2023, and sales are still active in 2026, so you can find both completed move-in-ready homes and in-progress builds depending on the phase and the builder. The community sits near I-24 Exit 70, between Murfreesboro and Smyrna, with its main address at 7605 Danswerk Drive.

With three builders working in the same neighborhood, Sycamore Grove tends to draw buyers who want a brand-new home with the conveniences already done for them. Every home comes with a fully sodded yard, refrigerator, washer/dryer, and blinds, which appeals to people relocating from out of state or anyone who would rather move in than spend the first month shopping for appliances and window treatments. Because we tour new-construction communities like this one constantly, we can help you compare what each builder is offering and figure out which section fits how you actually want to live.

Who builds in Sycamore Grove

Three builders are active in Sycamore Grove: Meritage Homes, Celebration Homes, and Willow Branch Homes. Having more than one builder in a single community is a real advantage for buyers, because it gives you a range of floor plans, price points, and design styles to compare side by side without leaving the neighborhood.

• Meritage Homes — a national builder bringing its own line of floor plans and finishes to Sycamore Grove.
• Celebration Homes — a Middle Tennessee builder with plans available in the community.
• Willow Branch Homes — a local builder also offering homes here.

Each builder maintains its own model home, plan lineup, and current availability. We can walk you through the differences between them, set up tours, and help you weigh the trade-offs so the builder you choose matches your budget, layout needs, and timeline.

Homes & floor plans

Sycamore Grove is an all single-family community. Across the three builders, homes range from about 1,786 to 3,025 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms, on lots of roughly 0.12 to 0.26 acres. Pricing in the community starts around $400,000, though the exact number depends on the builder, the floor plan, the lot, and the phase — so treat any figure here as a starting reference rather than a quote.

One of the things that stands out at Sycamore Grove is how much is included in every home: a fully sodded yard, a refrigerator, a washer and dryer, and window blinds all come standard. Utilities are run underground throughout the community. For floor plans and elevations, each builder publishes its current plans on its own official community page — we can pull those up with you, point out which plans are actually being built in each section right now, and tell you what we have seen firsthand when touring.

Amenities & community life

Day to day, Sycamore Grove is built around walkability. Streets are lined with sidewalks, walking paths run through the community, and there is a playground on site. Underground utilities keep the streetscape clean and free of overhead lines.

Model homes are open daily so you can see finishes in person before committing. As of the most recent information, models are open Monday through Friday 11am–6pm, Saturday 10am–6pm, and Sunday 1–5pm, located at 7604–7605 Danswerk Drive. Hours can change, so it is worth confirming with us before you make the drive.

Location, access & schools

Sycamore Grove is positioned near I-24 Exit 70, between Murfreesboro and Smyrna, which makes the community convenient for commuters heading in either direction along the I-24 corridor toward Nashville or down into Rutherford County. The Murfreesboro and Smyrna areas put everyday shopping, dining, and services within a short drive.

The community is zoned to Rutherford County Schools. The currently zoned schools are Stewartsboro Elementary School, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman High School. School zoning can be adjusted by the district over time, so we always recommend confirming the current zoning for a specific address with us or the district before you buy.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details change quickly — pricing, availability, included features, and phase timing can all shift between builder releases. Before you write an offer in Sycamore Grove, let us help you confirm the things that matter most.

• Current pricing and which floor plans are actually available in each builder's section right now
• Which phase is releasing, and the lot you are considering (size, position, and premiums)
• What is included at today's pricing versus optional upgrades
• The current HOA dues and exactly what they cover
• Builder incentives, rate programs, and timelines, which we pull live for you

We represent buyers in new construction at little or no cost to you, and because we are in these communities regularly we can verify the live numbers and details rather than relying on a listing or aggregator that may be out of date.

Getting around: commute & access detail

Sycamore Grove sits in the Florence Road corridor, straddling the 37129 and 37127 zip codes on the Smyrna side of Murfreesboro. From I-24, the community is reached via Exit 70 (TN-102/Almaville Road toward Smyrna), then roughly 5 miles along TN-102 North to the neighborhood. That positioning puts commuters within about a 40-minute drive of downtown Nashville via I-24 under normal traffic conditions, according to Nashville Home Guru's community profile (accessed 2026-07); actual drive time varies with traffic, time of day, and your specific destination, so we'd encourage anyone commuting daily to test the drive at rush hour before buying. Everyday retail, grocery stores, and restaurants along South Church Street and Rutherford Boulevard are reachable in under 10 minutes, and downtown Murfreesboro and Old Fort Parkway are also a short drive away.

Willow Branch Homes floor plans in Sycamore Grove

Willow Branch Homes, the third builder active in the community, lists its Sycamore Grove pricing from the $400s to $600s across roughly 1,988 to 3,025 square feet, per the builder's own community page (accessed 2026-07). Specific plans include the Bledsoe (3 bed, 2 bath, about 1,988 sq ft), the Davidson (4 bed, 3 bath, about 2,628 sq ft), and the larger Austin plan (3.5 bath, roughly 3,020–3,025 sq ft). As with any builder, plan availability and pricing shift by release, so we pull the current lineup for you before a site visit rather than relying on a cached plan sheet.

HOA: what it covers

Sycamore Grove carries an HOA. As of the most recent information available (2026-07), dues run around $60 per month (about $720 per year), covering maintenance of the community's common areas, including the playground and walking trail. There is no clubhouse or pool built into that fee structure, which keeps the monthly cost on the lower end for a Murfreesboro new-construction community. HOA amounts and covered services can change as the community builds out and the board sets budgets, so we always confirm the current dues and the governing documents for a specific address before you write an offer.

Recent sale prices — dated context, not a forecast

For buyers trying to get a feel for real numbers rather than a builder's "from" price, aggregated MLS-sourced data (RealTracs, via Nashville Home Guru, reflecting a rolling 12-month period as of 2026-07) shows roughly 33 closed sales in Sycamore Grove with a median sale price near $523,830 and a range of about $435,000 to $663,718, working out to roughly $187–$250 per square foot. Those figures describe what has already sold — they are historical data, not a prediction, and we can't tell you where prices are headed next. What we can do is pull the current builder pricing, recent comparable closings, and active listings for you in real time so you're working from today's numbers, not a stale web page.
