Here is the straight answer. Cason Grove is an established single family neighborhood on the southwest side of Murfreesboro, just off Cason Lane in the 37128 zip. The homes were built mainly from the mid 1980s through the early 2000s, they are single family with brick and vinyl exteriors, and most of them run from about 1,388 to 2,746 square feet (nashvillehome.guru, June 2026). Over the last twelve months, sales here landed with a median right around 400,000 dollars (nashvillehome.guru, June 2026; neighborhoods.com, 2026). If you are still learning the lay of the land, my Murfreesboro homes for sale hub breaks down every part of town. This page is about Cason Grove specifically, and I keep the live listings for it right here so you are looking at what is actually for sale today, not a stale snapshot.
What Cason Grove Actually Is
Cason Grove sits off Cason Lane in southwest Murfreesboro, and it is a settled neighborhood, not an active builder phase. That matters. You get mature yards, grown trees, finished streets, and no construction traffic rumbling past your driveway. The community was developed mainly between about 1986 and 2002, with some sources putting the first homes as early as 1987 or 1988 (nashvillehome.guru, June 2026; neighborhoods.com, 2026). Because it built out over more than fifteen years, you see a real mix of plans: two story homes, story and a half layouts, and single level ranch homes, most with three to four bedrooms, two to three full baths, and an attached two car garage (nashvillehome.guru, June 2026).
The street names inside the neighborhood are the quickest way to know you are in the right place: Cason Trail, Dodd Trail, River Rock Boulevard, Riverstone Drive, Stoney Meadow Drive, and Sycamore Drive (nashvillehome.guru, June 2026). Lots here are a genuine selling point. They run roughly 0.23 to 1.26 acres, with the median around 0.38 acres, so a lot of these homes sit on a real quarter acre or better (nashvillehome.guru, June 2026). That is bigger than what most of the newer starter neighborhoods across town are platting today.
The No HOA Difference
This is the detail I want you to hear clearly, because it is the reason a lot of buyers choose Cason Grove. There is no HOA. No monthly dues, no annual assessment, no architectural committee (nashvillehome.guru, June 2026). If you want to park a boat or a work trailer, put up a storage building, or paint your front door whatever color you like, you have a lot more room to do it here than you would in a dues paying community. The trade off is that there is no pool or clubhouse and no association budget maintaining common areas, so the upkeep of your property is on you. For plenty of my buyers, that is exactly the deal they want, especially paired with the larger lots. Always confirm there are no separate deed restrictions on a specific home before you write an offer, because a no HOA neighborhood can still carry recorded restrictions on the plat.
Prices and What Homes Are Selling For
Cason Grove sits in the solid middle of the Murfreesboro market. Across the trailing twelve months, one source counted 13 closed sales running from about 290,000 to 570,000 dollars, with a median near 400,000 and an average around 411,254 (nashvillehome.guru, June 2026). A second source shows a very similar picture, with closed sales from 302,000 to 570,000 dollars and a median of 399,900 (neighborhoods.com, 2026). Current listings have been asking in the 427,000 to 439,900 dollar range (neighborhoods.com, 2026). Price per square foot has landed anywhere from roughly 108 to 280 dollars depending on the plan, the lot, the updates, and whether the home has been renovated (nashvillehome.guru, June 2026). That is a wide spread, and it is normal for an older neighborhood where a fully updated home and an original condition home can sit two streets apart.
For citywide context, Murfreesboro's overall median has been running in the low to mid 400s through 2026, around 417,000 dollars at the most recent reading (Redfin, 2026), which puts Cason Grove right in the heart of the local market.
Schools for Cason Grove
Here is where the portal pages get it wrong, so read this part carefully. Cason Grove homes off Cason Lane are inside Murfreesboro city limits, and Murfreesboro City Schools is a separate district from Rutherford County Schools. The city district only runs grades PK to 6, and Cason Lane Academy is a Murfreesboro City School serving those grades (Murfreesboro City Schools, verified July 2026; NCES). After sixth grade, city students move over to Rutherford County Schools for middle and high (Rutherford County Schools, verified July 2026). At least one popular listing page files Cason Lane Academy under the county district, which is simply not correct, and it is the kind of mistake that trips people up when they try to plan for all thirteen years in one place.
For middle and high, the exact zone depends on the street address, and the county redraws zones as it grows, so I will not guess. My Murfreesboro school zones guide walks through how the city and county split works and how to check any address. I give you facts and the district's own zone maps, never an opinion on a school.
Getting Around from Cason Grove
Location is a quiet strength here. Cason Lane runs up the west side of town and meets Old Fort Parkway, one of Murfreesboro's main west side corridors, with a Kroger and everyday shopping right at that intersection (iExit, 2026). Old Fort Parkway carries you out to Interstate 24 at Exit 78B, and it also connects you into the Medical Center Parkway corridor with The Avenue shopping, the hospital, and the Gateway restaurants. So you get an older, quieter neighborhood that is still a few minutes from a full grocery run and a quick highway on ramp.
Nearby Neighborhoods to Compare
If Cason Grove does not have the right home available the week you are looking, you have good options close by. Blackman Farms is another west side neighborhood worth putting on your list, and I keep pages on communities across town, like Savannah Ridge in west Murfreesboro and Liberty Station on the north side, so you can compare them side by side instead of guessing from a portal map. Tell me what matters most, the lot, the no HOA setup, the price, or the school plan, and I will line up the right handful of neighborhoods for you.
Thinking About Buying in Cason Grove?
If Cason Grove is on your short list, call or text me. Give me your budget, your must haves, and your timeline, and I will set up a saved search that pings you the minute a matching home comes up, then build a showing plan around it. Inventory in a built out neighborhood like this one is limited, so the buyers who move first tend to win. And before you get to the closing table, my Murfreesboro home inspection guide walks through what happens after your offer is accepted, which matters double in a neighborhood where many homes are twenty to thirty years old. After 25 years in the Army, I am used to doing the homework before the mission, and that is exactly how I will run your search.
