Murfreesboro Indian Hills Subdivision (Savannah, Rutherford: for sale, buying a home, buying)

[Kim918]

I agree with you about Evergreen Farms. It is too congested and I really didn't like the looks of it. I saw some affordable homes in Savannah Ridge, that is what made me want to look. It looked like a nice area and I can stretch the budget some. Just trying to hang onto as much cash as I can.

I have heard of Buchanan Estates. That's Christiana right? I will look into the other areas you talked about as well. Thanks so much for your suggestions!

Yeah, it's a Christiana mailing address. Although when I think of Christiana, I think of the US-231/TN-269 area, and more importantly, Miller's Grocery.

You can get to Buchanan Estates from either exit 89, or from Rucker Rd. There are some big lots out there for new construction.

Cool, thank you. Another place to look!

I am not sure that house is a good idea now considering that drainage thing.

Anyone have any neighborhoods they recommend?
I have looked at these subdivisions so far
The Cloister
Blackman Farm
Weston Park
All zero lot line. Not a big fan of that even though they were nice areas.
Kingdom Ridge
Thompson Grove
I liked both of those actually and I want to check into Savannah Ridge next.
Any other ideas out there would be appreciated. My budget is about $180k to $190K. Less would be cool too!

I heard about this theme park thing. I didn't know it was going in West Murfreesboro though. I hear people are fighting it. I see signs all the time "No Theme Park"

Thank you for the info.

Hi Kim,

Are you looking for new construction only - the developments you listed are all new. If you would consider existing, look at Huntington (there is new construction too but it would be out of your price range) and Hawksridge. These are on the north side of town, larger lots, excellent schools, and easy access back to Nashville. Bradford Place is also really nice, brick homes in the North section but the lots are going to be smaller.

[Kim918]

I am not against existing homes at all. I just want to find what I am looking for ya know? I have heard of Hawksridge as well. I will write all these down and check it out. Small lot is okay. Zero lot line is just too congested feeling to me.

Thanks for your help!

I run through there a few days a week. It's a really nice area.

[Kim918]

I'm going to look at everything I can. Not sure the realtor I am using is going to work for me. He doesn't have a whole lot ideas it seems. I am doing all the digging and sending him listings and he shows them to me. He should really be coming up with these areas for me to look. I have a 6 month lease, but I would like to find something and close by late December so I can take my time moving in, paint if I need to, curtains etc.

I live in Kingdom Ridge and love it. We have a large lot and a nice house that was a great buy. We had it built and they did an excellent job. We previously lived in Evergreen Farms but it was a mistake moving there. Way too busy with lots of traffic on our narrow street. It wasn't for us. I highly recomment Kingdom Ridge.

Thanks Steve. I loved the way it felt when I went to see the homes in there. It had a nice open feeling. I did not care for Evergreen Farms at all. I need to look at all the plans Kingdom Ridge has. I didn't like what was already built. They had one that was near perfect until I got to the bonus room and it was split. That was out. I'm sure if I opt to build I will get what I want.

Thank you for the info. It"s always good to hear a positive comment about a place. How long did it take for them to build your home?

On this budget you might find something in The Cloister or Weston Park. Most of the others will be in the $220-230's. Both of those seem nice neighborhoods. You may check further into the concept of Kingdom subdivision, it is my understanding that it is religious themed, street names and design, etc, make sure this is somthing that you are okay with.
