About This Data
Turner Victory Team’s Tru Insights™ data shows Rockvale at 3.1 months of supply with an average Tru Days on Market™ of 48 days. Based on those figures, the Turner Victory Team reads this market as one that is roughly balanced between buyers and sellers.
Tru Days on Market™ is the Turner Victory Team metric that tracks the total cumulative time a property has been listed across every relist and cancellation. Unlike standard MLS days on market, the Turner Victory Team’s Tru DOM™ does not reset to zero when a home is relisted at a lower price.
% of Original Price is calculated from the Turner Victory Team’s Tru Original List Price™, which reflects the average sale price as a percentage of the very first list price before any reductions or relistings. A number below 100% indicates sellers are accepting less than their original ask.

What Makes Rockvale One of Rutherford County’s Fastest-Growing Communities
Rockvale is an unincorporated community in southwest Rutherford County, about 10 miles south of Murfreesboro and 40 miles from downtown Nashville. Settlers were drawn to these rolling hills and fertile farmland in the early 1800s. A consolidated school opened on Highway 99 in 1910, and the Rockvale Ruritan Club has hosted an annual Fourth of July celebration since 1927 — nearly a century of small-town tradition.
What sets Rockvale apart is its schools. Rockvale High School opened in 2019 as a $59 million state-of-the-art campus, and Rockvale Elementary and Rockvale Middle consistently rank among the top schools in the district. Because Rockvale is unincorporated, there is no city tax — residents pay only the Rutherford County rate of 1.8762 per $100 of assessed value.
Buyers choose Rockvale for the combination of new construction, acreage, and strong schools without the city tax. New subdivisions like Carlton Landing and Riley Farms offer homes from the $300s to $600s, while established neighborhoods and farm properties range into the millions. Highway 99 connects to Murfreesboro in 15 minutes, I-24 in about 15 minutes, and Nashville in roughly 40 minutes. Many properties are USDA-eligible for 100% financing. Read our full community guide on what makes Rockvale one of the fastest-growing areas near Murfreesboro for a deeper look.
Whether you are buying a home or planning to sell your home in Rockvale, our team tracks this market every week so you have accurate data at every decision point.

Rockvale TN real estate offers both. New subdivisions like Carlton Landing and Riley Farms deliver modern homes from the $300s to $600s, while acreage and farm properties stretch into the millions. Many lots have no HOA.
No City Tax
Rockvale is unincorporated — residents pay only the Rutherford County rate of 1.8762 per $100 of assessed value. Combined with Tennessee’s zero state income tax, this makes Rockvale one of the most tax-friendly communities in the Nashville metro.
Dedicated Rockvale Schools
One of the few communities in Rutherford County with its own elementary, middle, and high school — all on the same Highway 99 area. Rockvale High opened in 2019 with a 95% graduation rate.
The Honest Picture — What to Know Before You Decide
Every area has tradeoffs. Here is how we think about Rockvale TN real estate in plain terms — because the right neighborhood depends entirely on what matters most to you.
What Works Well Here
- No city property tax — county rate only
- Brand-new dedicated Rockvale school cluster
- New construction and acreage in the same market
- Many properties USDA-eligible for 100% financing
- Rural character 10 minutes from Murfreesboro
- Direct access to I-24 and Williamson County via I-840
- Lower price per acre than comparable Williamson County land
What to Consider
- Fewer retail and dining options directly in Rockvale
- Longer commute to Nashville than Murfreesboro proper
- Some areas have limited high-speed internet options
- Well and septic are common — not city water or sewer for many properties
- New construction competes with resale on pricing
- If walkability and urban amenities are priorities, other areas fit better
Buying New Construction in Rockvale
Rockvale has active new construction from multiple builders including Meritage Homes in Carlton Landing and DRB and Brightland Homes in Riley Farms. What many buyers do not realize is that the on-site agent at any model home represents the builder — not you. Their job is to protect the builder’s interest in the contract, not yours.
Having an independent buyer’s agent when buying new construction means having someone whose job is to represent your interests through the entire process. Our team works regularly with buyers in both active Rockvale communities and knows what to ask for before you sign anything.
What’s Nearby
Daily life in Rockvale moves at a slower pace, but the essentials are close. These details shape the Rockvale TN real estate experience beyond just the property itself.

The Fried Tater Cafe and Elrod’s Mercantile are local favorites along Highway 99. Champions Run Golf Course has a popular restaurant and bar. For bigger shopping trips, Murfreesboro is 15 minutes away and Franklin is about 25 minutes.
Parks and Outdoor Recreation
Lucky Ladd Farms is a 60-acre farm park with Tennessee’s largest petting zoo, corn mazes, and seasonal festivals — named a Top-15 Pumpkin Patch in the U.S. by Travel Channel. Champions Run Golf Course offers 18 holes in a country setting. Snail Shell Cave, owned by the Southeastern Cave Conservancy, features over 9 miles of surveyed passages and is one of the most biologically significant cave sites in the Southeast.
Healthcare
Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital in Murfreesboro is the closest full-service hospital, about 15 minutes from most Rockvale addresses. Trustpoint Hospital and urgent care options are also in Murfreesboro. Williamson Medical Center in Franklin is roughly 25 minutes away.
Community and Events
The Rockvale Ruritan Club has hosted a Fourth of July celebration since 1927 — nearly a century of tradition.

Strong school parent organizations at all three Rockvale campuses drive active community engagement.
