City - Murfreesboro

Consistently ranking as one of the best places to live in the country, Murfreesboro is growing fast – and for good reason! Settled in 1811, this city was named for a Revolutionary War hero, and it’s held its historic roots ever since. Residents can explore the city’s local history at a variety of museums, including the Oaklands Historic Museum, the Bradley Academy Museum, and the Stones River National Battlefield. Murfreesboro is also home to Middle Tennessee’s only Museum of Natural History.

For those who enjoy cultural events and entertainment, the Murfreesboro Center for the Arts hosts concerts, live theater performances, and more. Enjoy the local events around the city, such as the Main Street Music Jazzfest and the International Folk Fest! Murfreesboro’s local university, Middle Tennessee State University, is growing just as quickly as the city itself. This top-notch institution is known for its programs in aerospace and music, and adds to the artistic charm of Murfreesboro.

Scary place to live!

Maintenance guy never comes! No one is ever in the office! They rent to anyone! They evidently do not do a criminal background check on tenants!! Cars drive through parking area and cars get broken into! It is a scary place to live and seems to have a bad reputation. There are a few nice tenents who have lived here for years but there are shady tenents who come and go! The Apartments are falling apart and gutters are never cleaned! Always clogged up! Bad Management and Maintenance!! I suggest that you pass this falling down complex and go somewhere where it is safe and office and maintenance is professional,

Lighting is poor, mold in every unit... drug deals , people sitting in cars waiting for whom ever pretty sad when I go out to smoke I have to carry my pepper spray.. and always have the gun loaded... new owners that haven't even introduced themselves to the complex..
