View Homes for SaleSlatewood Murfreesboro TN: Large Lots and New Construction in North Murfreesboro
Slatewood Murfreesboro TN is a newer neighborhood in the 37129 ZIP code off Sulphur Springs Road in North Murfreesboro, built primarily by Century Communities with Rizen Homes contributing homes in the first section. The community is a small, quiet development — roughly 25 to 30 homes total — which gives it a more intimate feel than the larger production neighborhoods nearby. What sets Slatewood apart most is the lot size. Homesites range from approximately 0.34 to 0.49 acres, which is significantly larger than most new construction in this part of Murfreesboro, and the community is designed with sidewalks and underground utilities throughout.
Homes in Slatewood are large by North Murfreesboro standards. Century Communities builds primarily two floor plans here — the Hibiscus (4 bed, 3 to 4.5 bath, approximately 3,078 sq ft) and the Buchanan and Buchanan II (5 bed, 4 to 5 bath, ranging from approximately 3,365 to 3,826 sq ft). Both plans feature open great rooms, gourmet kitchens with islands and gas cooking, primary suites on the main level, loft spaces upstairs, and 3-car attached garages. Covered patios are standard. Rizen Homes builds a different style with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, gas fireplaces, and stone and hardboard exteriors that give those homes a distinct look from the Century product.
Slatewood has a mix of newer resales appearing as early buyers have moved on alongside any remaining new construction opportunities. That range of pricing and finish levels within the same small neighborhood makes reading the sold data more important here than in a fully stabilized community. The access point off Thompson Lane to Sulphur Springs Road keeps the community tucked away from through traffic while staying close to I-840, Memorial Boulevard, and the Avenue Murfreesboro.

Lot Sizes That Stand Out
Slatewood homesites range from approximately 0.34 to 0.49 acres — substantially larger than most new construction options available in North Murfreesboro at this price range. Corner lots and cul-de-sac lots within the community offer even more usable outdoor space. For buyers who want a newer home without a postage-stamp yard, Slatewood is one of the few options that delivers both.
Large Floor Plans With 3-Car Garages
The two primary Century Communities floor plans in Slatewood — the Hibiscus and the Buchanan — both run over 3,000 square feet, include primary suites on the main level, gas kitchen appliances, and 3-car attached garages. That combination of square footage, garage capacity, and lot size is hard to find in one address in the current North Murfreesboro market.
A Small Community With Practical Access
Slatewood is a quiet neighborhood of roughly 25 to 30 homes tucked off Sulphur Springs Road. That scale means less through traffic and a more settled feel than larger developments nearby. I-840 is approximately three miles away for commuters heading south, and Thompson Lane connects directly to Memorial Boulevard and I-24 for everything else.
The Honest Picture: What to Know Before You Decide
Slatewood offers a compelling combination of lot size, floor plan, and location. Understanding the full picture before committing — especially in a neighborhood still building out and starting to see its first resales — is how you make a confident decision.
What Works Well Here
- Lot sizes ranging from approximately 0.34 to 0.49 acres — significantly larger than most North Murfreesboro new construction
- Large floor plans with 3-car garages standard on most homes
- Primary suite on main level in both Century Communities floor plans
- Gas cooking, double ovens, and gourmet kitchen packages standard
- Covered patios and spacious bonus or loft rooms included
- Sidewalks and underground utilities throughout the community
- Small neighborhood scale — roughly 25 to 30 homes total — means less traffic and a quieter feel
- I-840 approximately three miles away for Franklin and Brentwood commuters
- School assignments have historically reflected Northfield Elementary, Siegel Middle, and Siegel High — always verify your address
- Tankless water heaters and smart home features standard
What to Consider
- Two builders with different construction styles and finishes within the same community; not all homes look or function the same
- Price range varies based on floor plan, builder, lot position, and upgrades; condition-adjusted analysis against closed sales is essential before any offer
- Fiber cement and partial brick is the standard exterior on most Century homes; not all brick throughout
- HOA fee and transfer fee vary; confirm the exact amount for any specific home before making an offer
- School zones can change; verify your address at rcschools.net and cityschools.net before buying
Slatewood Murfreesboro TN Live Market Snapshot
Slatewood market data is based on closed sales activity tracked by Tru Insights. Data sourced from Realtracs MLS. Updated weekly.
About This Data
Slatewood - Murfreesboro currently has 2.4 months of supply and an average Tru Days on Market of 25 days. Based on those figures, this market favors sellers.
Tru Days on Market tracks the total cumulative time a property has been listed across every relist and cancellation. Unlike standard MLS days on market, Tru DOM does not reset to zero when a home is relisted at a lower price.
% of Original Price 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 the Slatewood Market Looks Like Right Now
Slatewood has an active mix of newer construction and early resales, which makes reading the sold data more important here than in a fully stabilized neighborhood. Buyers need to understand what each category actually means for pricing and timing before committing.
Newer Construction
Some Slatewood homes are recent builds that come with upgraded finishes, smart home features, and warranties still in effect. These homes offer buyers a move-in ready product with modern floor plans and lot sizes that stand out in North Murfreesboro. Pricing on these homes reflects finish level, lot position, and how recently they were completed. The sold data shows exactly what buyers have paid at each configuration.
Early Resales
The first resales in Slatewood have started appearing as buyers from the 2024 and 2025 build-out move on. These homes come with the lot, the floor plan, and the upgrades already in place — and they give buyers the chance to see the finished product before committing. The data on what these homes have actually sold for versus what they were originally listed for tells a more precise story than asking price alone.
Pricing in a Small Neighborhood
In a community of roughly 25 to 30 homes, there are fewer closed sales to draw from than in larger neighborhoods. That makes each transaction more significant as a data point, and makes accurate pricing more important. A home priced above what the sold data supports in a neighborhood this size will accumulate days on market quickly and be visible to every active buyer. The closed sales are the honest read on where this market clears.
Why sold data matters more than list price in a newer neighborhood: What homes were originally listed for and what buyers have actually paid are two different numbers, and the gap between them tells you what the market has decided. Tru Insights tracks every closed transaction including Tru Original List Price and Tru Days on Market so you can see the full picture before making any move.
What Sellers in Slatewood Murfreesboro TN Need to Know
Selling in Slatewood means working within a small sales universe of roughly 25 to 30 homes total. That makes pricing decisions more precise than in a larger neighborhood with more comparable sales to draw from. The data on what homes have actually closed for at different floor plans, lot positions, and finish levels is the anchor. Pricing off that anchor is what moves homes here.
The lot size and floor plan are genuine selling points. A buyer who wants over 3,000 square feet, a 3-car garage, and a lot above 0.34 acres in North Murfreesboro does not have many places to look. That demand supports the market. But it does not support any price regardless of condition or finish level. What the sold data says buyers have paid in Slatewood is the anchor, and pricing off of that anchor is the only strategy that moves homes here.
Tru Insights tracks every Slatewood transaction, including Tru Original List Price and Tru Days on Market across all listing cycles. That data tells the story of where this market has cleared and where it has not. We bring that analysis to every seller conversation before any decision is made.
What We Bring to Every Slatewood Seller
We track every transaction in this neighborhood and know what buyers have actually paid versus what sellers asked. In a small community with a short sales history, that distinction matters more than almost anywhere else.
We understand how to position your home’s genuine strengths — the lot size, floor plan, and garage capacity that make Slatewood stand out — and how to price it to attract the right buyer based on what the data actually supports.
No pressure, no obligation. Start with the data and decide from there.
