Gardens of Three Rivers

Gardens of Three Rivers at a glance

Gardens of Three Rivers is a townhome community on the west side of Murfreesboro, in Rutherford County, built by Patterson Company. It sits off Veterans Parkway near Cason Lane, with the sales center on Eldin Creek Drive in the 37128 ZIP code. Patterson Company is actively selling here, with move-in-ready homes and pre-sale homes still to be built (buypatterson.com, as of 2026-09-07). Patterson publishes The Lexington from the $409s and The Cambridge from the $434s (buypatterson.com, as of 2026-09-07); active RealTracs listings in the community ran $395,990–$489,473 (RealTracs via MLS GRID, as of 2026-09-07). The product here is specific: low-maintenance, two-car-garage townhomes built around first-floor living, in a neighborhood with its own private clubhouse and pool.

These are new-construction townhomes: current floor plans, a builder warranty, and a first-floor primary bedroom that keeps daily living on the main level. The location is minutes from The Avenue Murfreesboro shopping center and quick I-24 access, and close to the Murfreesboro Greenway System. Available homes and incentives move week to week, so we confirm what is actually open before a buyer plans a visit.

Who builds in Gardens of Three Rivers

Gardens of Three Rivers is built by Patterson Company, a single-builder townhome community. That single-builder structure is a practical advantage for a buyer: one plan library, one set of standard features, and one warranty and design process to learn, rather than reconciling several builders across sections. Patterson runs the community directly, with a sales center at 2631 Eldin Creek Drive and an onsite team that handles the day-to-day logistics of touring, selecting, and closing on a home.

Patterson's role here is the full build-out of the townhome product, and the builder is actively selling both move-in-ready and pre-sale homes (buypatterson.com, as of 2026-09-07). We work alongside the onsite team rather than around it — they give buyers the model tours and build details, and we represent the buyer's side of the transaction. The sales center keeps regular hours (Monday 12–5, Tuesday–Saturday 10–5, Sunday 1–5), and the builder publishes its sales-center contact details on buypatterson.com. Open sections and available plans shift as a community builds out, so it is worth confirming current availability before you plan a trip.

Homes & floor plans

The homes here are townhomes, 1,882 to 2,044 finished square feet across the two published plans, with three to four bedrooms, two-and-a-half to three bathrooms, and two-car garages (buypatterson.com, as of 2026-09-07). The design emphasis is low-maintenance living with a first-floor primary bedroom that keeps daily living on the main level. Patterson publishes two plans here: The Lexington, 1,882 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2-car garage, from the $409s; and The Cambridge, 1,974–2,044 sq ft, 3–4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2-car garage, from the $434s (buypatterson.com, as of 2026-09-07). Plan availability changes as the community builds out, so check Patterson Company's official community page for the current list.

Patterson currently advertises an incentive on pre-sale homes here; the builder's own offers page shows no current offer on move-in-ready homes (buypatterson.com, as of 2026-09-07). Incentives and which homes qualify change frequently, so we pull the live details and current pricing for you before you write an offer. Recorded lot sizes on listings in the community run about 0.08–0.16 acres (RealTracs via MLS GRID, as of 2026-09-07); we confirm the homesite for any specific address.

Amenities & community life

Gardens of Three Rivers has its own amenities: a private clubhouse, a community pool, sidewalks throughout, and landscaped green space. For a townhome community, that on-site amenity set is the day-to-day value — the pool and clubhouse give residents a gathering point, and the sidewalks make the neighborhood walkable. The trails nearby are the city's, not the community's.

The community sits near the Stones River corridor of the Murfreesboro Greenway System, which has over 17 miles of trails and sixteen trailheads (City of Murfreesboro, murfreesborotn.gov, as of 2026-09-07). The nearby Cason Trailhead, at 1100 Cason Trail, carries a playground, a bark park, a pavilion and picnic shelters (City of Murfreesboro, as of 2026-09-07) — a city facility, a short distance from home, not a community amenity.

Location, access & schools

Gardens of Three Rivers is on the west side of Murfreesboro, in Rutherford County, near the intersection of Veterans Parkway and Cason Lane, with streets including Eldin Creek Drive, Audubon Lane, St. Andrews Drive, and Elmcroft Avenue.

The Murfreesboro Greenway System's Stones River corridor and Cason Trailhead are nearby for trails and outdoor recreation.

Gardens of Three Rivers is served by [Rutherford County Schools](https://www.rcschools.net/). Zone lines were last redrawn effective the 2026-27 school year, so confirm the assignment for a specific address on the district's own zone map.

What to verify before you buy

New-construction details move quickly, so a few things are worth confirming with us before you write an offer. We will pull the live pricing and the current list of available and move-in-ready homes, verify which incentives are active and which homes qualify, and confirm the floor plan, square footage, and homesite for any specific address. We will also get you the current HOA dues and what they cover, the phase status and remaining inventory, and the exact builder warranty terms. These answers change week to week — we get you the verified, current numbers rather than a stale listing figure.

Working with The Will Johnson Team

We represent buyers in new construction at little or no cost to you, and because we tour these communities constantly, we help you compare townhome plans, read the incentives, and navigate the build through to closing. The onsite Patterson team handles the model tours and build logistics; our job is to represent your side of the transaction and make sure the home, the contract, and the timeline all work for you. If Gardens of Three Rivers is on your list, call The Will Johnson Team at 615-265-1000 and we will pull the live numbers and set up a visit.

Part of the larger Three Rivers community

Gardens of Three Rivers is a section within the larger Three Rivers development, which has been built out in phases off Cason Lane and includes traditional single-family sections, townhome sections such as The Crossings of Three Rivers, and the attached Gardens product (RealTracs records list these as townhouse and attached horizontal-property-regime homes, as of 2026-09-07). Homes in the wider Three Rivers development carry build years from 2006 through 2027 on RealTracs records (RealTracs via MLS GRID, as of 2026-09-07). Public listing records reference the Gardens as divided into multiple sections (buyers will see "Sec 3" and similar designations on some plats and listings), which lines up with the community selling in phases over time rather than all at once. Knowing that Gardens of Three Rivers is one piece of a bigger, established neighborhood matters for a buyer: the surrounding streets, pool, and clubhouse infrastructure were not built overnight for this one section, and resale comps in the broader Three Rivers footprint can be a useful reference point alongside the Gardens-specific data. HOA dues in Three Rivers vary by section, and no builder, HOA or county document publishes a figure we can stand behind — so we pull the exact current dues and what they cover for the specific address before you rely on a number.

Commute, MTSU & drive times

Gardens of Three Rivers sits on the west side of Murfreesboro near Veterans Parkway and Cason Lane, close to the I-24 interchange that carries traffic northwest toward Nashville. We don't publish a mileage or a drive-time band to Nashville that we can't source to a named authority. Actual travel time depends heavily on time of day and traffic, so we'd encourage any commuter to test the drive at the hours they'd actually be driving it before buying. Middle Tennessee State University's main campus is on East Main Street in Murfreesboro, a short drive from the community.

Murfreesboro & Rutherford County market context

Murfreesboro is the county seat of Rutherford County. Rutherford County's 2026 reappraisal cycle showed total appraised property value rising from about $52.5 billion in 2022 to roughly $81.7 billion in 2026, according to county assessor data reported by local news outlets in 2026. As of the 2026 certified rates, the county property tax rate is $1.4885 and the City of Murfreesboro rate is $0.7529 per $100 of assessed value; rates are set annually, so confirm the current figures for the tax year you close in. We track this kind of dated market data because it's verifiable and useful — we do not predict future prices or appreciation, and no one reliably can. The honest answer for "will this go up in value" is that we can show you the historical and current numbers, not forecast the future ones.

For investors: what to check before you buy here

Investors considering Gardens of Three Rivers as a rental should run a slightly different checklist than an owner-occupant would. Confirm the HOA's rental policy in writing — some HOA-governed townhome sections cap the percentage of homes that can be leased at any one time or maintain a waitlist, and that cap can be full even while the community is still selling new construction. Get the exact current HOA dues and the HOA's leasing rules, since dues plus any rental restrictions directly affect cash flow and exit flexibility. Run comparable rents for similar-sized townhomes in the Three Rivers and greater Murfreesboro area rather than assuming a number, since achievable rent depends on the specific floor plan, finish level, and section. Confirm the current Rutherford County and City of Murfreesboro property tax rates for the specific parcel using the figures above, reconfirmed for your closing year. And verify the builder's warranty terms and what transfers to a non-owner-occupant, since some builder warranty provisions differ for investment-owned homes. We walk investor buyers through each of these before an offer, not after.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gardens of Three Rivers gated? No — it is an open-access townhome section with sidewalks, a private clubhouse, and a pool for residents, not a gated community. Is it still selling? Yes — Patterson is actively selling move-in-ready homes and pre-sale homes still to be built (buypatterson.com, as of 2026-09-07); the specific available addresses and floor plans change frequently, so we confirm live inventory before a showing. What school district is it in? Gardens of Three Rivers is served by [Rutherford County Schools](https://www.rcschools.net/). Zone lines were last redrawn effective the 2026-27 school year, so confirm the assignment for a specific address on the district's own zone map. Is it a good investment? We can't predict future home prices or appreciation for any property, here or elsewhere — what we can do is give you the current, dated pricing, HOA, tax, and rental-comp data so you can make that call with real numbers rather than a guess. How do I tour it? Call The Will Johnson Team at 615-265-1000 and we'll confirm current availability with the Patterson Company sales team and set up a visit.
