Rutherford County, long the quiet home of Middle Tennessee State University, has been posting exceptional gains. As Nashville real estate has pushed southward, Rutherford County has been the area of choice for many seeking quality homes at reasonable prices. All areas of Rutherford County real estate have been growing, including Murfreesboro real estate, Smyrna real estate and LaVernge real estate.  Murfreesboro, Smyrna and LaVergne real estate has been boasted by the development of several major shopping centers along the I-24 corridor between Murfreesboro and Smyrna.  Murfreesboro real estate is growing toward the western half of the Rutherford County and is beginning to include some of the smaller towns of Eagleville, College Grove and Arrington.  The once sleepy area of Rutherford County is now one of the fastest growing areas of Middle Tennessee.
