Veterans Cove

Veterans Cove at a glance

Veterans Cove is a gated townhome community in west Murfreesboro, Rutherford County, Tennessee, sitting along Veterans Parkway at Soldiers Honor Drive. It launched in 2023 and is still actively delivering homes through 2026, so buyers here are choosing into a community that is established enough to walk and tour today while new inventory continues to come online. The model home is open daily, and as of our latest check there were six move-in-ready homes available — though that number shifts week to week, so we pull live availability for you before you plan a visit.

This is a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave style community. Homes are 2-to-3-bedroom townhomes ranging roughly 1,635 to 2,324 square feet, each with a 2-car attached garage and a masonry exterior. Pricing on the builder's published figures starts at $364,990. Because the HOA handles exterior upkeep and grounds, Veterans Cove tends to appeal to buyers who want a brand-new home without the yard work — whether that's downsizers, professionals, out-of-state relocators getting their footing in the Murfreesboro market, or anyone who values being able to travel and leave the exterior maintenance to someone else.

Who builds in Veterans Cove

Veterans Cove is built by Ole South Properties. Ole South is Tennessee's largest independently-owned homebuilder and a Top-100 builder nationally, with a long track record across Middle Tennessee. That depth matters in new construction: an established builder generally means a refined set of floor plans, a predictable build process, and an on-site sales team that knows the community inside and out.

The Ole South on-site agent at the model home is a great resource for the builder's current plans, included features, and any standing incentives. We work alongside that team as your buyer's representative — touring these communities constantly means we can help you compare Veterans Cove against other Murfreesboro and Rutherford County options, read the build agreement, and keep your interests front-and-center through closing, at little or no cost to you.

Homes & floor plans

Homes at Veterans Cove are townhomes in the 2-to-3-bedroom range, sized from about 1,635 to 2,324 square feet. Builder-published pricing starts at $364,990, and end-unit floor plans typically carry a $4,000 premium for the extra light and exterior. Lot size isn't separately published for a community of this type, which is normal for attached townhomes — we can walk you through how each plan's footprint and yard space actually lives.

• 2-car attached garage
• Masonry exterior
• Covered rear porch, with screening or sunroom options on select plans
• Kitchen appliances included
• Window treatments included
• Fenced back patios

Ole South publishes the full, current floor-plan lineup with up-to-date square footage, bedroom and bath counts, and available homesites on its official Veterans Cove community page. Plan availability and pricing move, so rather than list a snapshot here that goes stale, we pull the live numbers and matching homesites for you and help you decide which plan fits how you actually live.

Amenities & community life

Veterans Cove is gated, with a walkable layout built around community sidewalks and walking trails. There's a dog park on-site, and the community runs on underground utilities, which keeps the streetscape clean and uncluttered. Day-to-day, the appeal is simplicity: you get a new home with the exterior maintenance, grounds, and community insurance handled through the HOA, so weekends aren't spent on upkeep.

The monthly HOA is published by the builder at $225 and covers exterior maintenance, grounds, and community insurance. HOA figures and what they include can change, so we confirm the current dues and coverage in writing for you before you commit.

Location, access & schools

Veterans Cove is on the west side of Murfreesboro, off Veterans Parkway — a corridor that connects toward I-840 and the broader Rutherford County road network, putting Murfreesboro's shopping, dining, healthcare, and Middle Tennessee State University within an easy local drive, with commuter access toward the rest of the Nashville metro. We're happy to map specific drive times from the community to wherever you work or spend time.

Veterans Cove is zoned for Barfield Elementary School, Christiana Middle School, and Riverdale High School. School zoning can be adjusted by the district, so verify current assignments with Rutherford County Schools and with us before you rely on them for a purchase decision.

Location & commute specifics

Murfreesboro sits roughly 34-35 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, and Veterans Cove is on the west side of town with quick access to both Veterans Parkway and I-840. For a downtown Nashville commute via I-24, plan on roughly 30-50 minutes in light traffic and 45-70+ minutes during weekday rush hour — commute times vary by exact departure point and time of day, so we're glad to help you test-drive the route at the hours you'd actually be commuting before you buy.

Closer to home, Middle Tennessee State University's campus is a short local drive from Veterans Cove, which is part of why this corridor draws MTSU faculty, staff, and grad students in addition to Nashville commuters. For healthcare, Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital (1700 Medical Center Parkway) is Murfreesboro's full-service hospital with 24/7 emergency care, and the Alvin C. York VA Medical Center on the north side of Murfreesboro serves veterans in the area — worth noting given the community's name, though Veterans Cove itself is a private, market-rate community open to any buyer, not a VA-affiliated development.

The builder behind the name

Ole South Properties was founded in 1986 by John Floyd and has grown into Tennessee's largest independently and locally-owned homebuilder, headquartered right in Murfreesboro. The company has been ranked among Builder Magazine's Top 100 builders nationally in recent years — #66 in 2022, #90 in 2023, and #93 in 2024 — and is also recognized as the official home builder of MTSU Athletics. For a buyer, that track record means an established plan lineup, a repeatable build process, and a local sales and warranty team that isn't new to the market.

What recent sales show

Based on aggregator-reported closed sales at Veterans Cove over the trailing 12 months (as of mid-2026), the community has seen 27 closed transactions with a median sale price around $390,770 and a range of roughly $372,900 to $438,800 — translating to about $185-$236 per square foot. Zooming out, Murfreesboro's broader housing market showed a median sale price in the $403,000-$425,000 range as of Q1-Q2 2026 depending on the data source and month measured, per Redfin and Zillow. We can't predict where prices go from here, and neither can anyone else — but we're happy to pull the current comps and live builder pricing for Veterans Cove specifically before you make an offer.

Investor & rental considerations

Veterans Cove's low-maintenance HOA structure — exterior upkeep, grounds, and community insurance handled monthly for $225 — is part of what makes attached townhomes like these attractive to landlords and out-of-town owners, not just owner-occupants. That said, HOA rental caps, minimum-lease-term rules, and owner-occupancy requirements are set (and can change) at the HOA's discretion, and we have not seen a published rental policy from the builder or HOA for this community as of this writing. If a rental or investment strategy is part of your plan, confirm the current HOA rental policy in writing before you write an offer — we'll pull it directly from the HOA management company for you.
