Murfreesboro is one of the ‘Fastest Growing Cities in America’
A new study calculated the “Fastest Growing Cities in America,” and the towns at the top might surprise you — there’s a whole lotta Texas (not so surprising), a little California (not surprising) and, at No. 13: Middle Tennessee’s own charming college town, Murfreesboro (kinda surprising!).

5 Nashville homes with wow-worthy outdoor space
We have a long weekend coming up, and with it, it looks like we might get some good patio/deck weather in Nashville.

Get to know the growing East Nashville food scene in one night at Yum!East
With as much time as we spend in/exploring East Nashville, we should probably be able to give an elevator-pitch review of every restaurant and bar in the neighborhood.

Would a new ‘downtown Nolensville’ entice you toward the Nashville suburb?

Celebrate Mother’s Day, East Nashville style
Two things are looming large in our minds in the office this week: the fact that we’re almost ready to list the stunning new East Nashville homes of Porter Road Place; and that this weekend is Mother’s Day, and we have some wonderful women in our lives to spoil.

Making the move from renter to homeowner in Nashville
