Salem Landing

Salem Landing at a glance

Salem Landing is a new master-planned community in Murfreesboro, in Rutherford County, Tennessee, set off New Salem Highway with its sales center at 5718 Thunder Drive. It is one of Murfreesboro's newest master-planned communities and is actively selling, with a model home open for daily tours and several homes already move-in ready. The community is built out across streets like Thunder Drive, Rivermont Way, Marina Court, Stormy Lane, Craven Lane, and Hunter Bryce Lane.

The community offers a mix of single-family homes and townhomes, ranging from roughly 1,610 to 2,618 square feet with three to five bedrooms, so it tends to draw a wide range of buyers — from those purchasing their first home or right-sizing into a townhome, to people who want a larger single-family plan with new-construction warranties. With Nashville about 30 minutes away and MTSU under 10 miles out, it also appeals to commuters and buyers who want to be near the university and Murfreesboro's growing job base. Because several builders are active here, buyers have an unusually broad set of plans and price points to compare within a single community.

Who builds in Salem Landing

Salem Landing is a multi-builder community, which is part of what makes it worth a close look. The verified builders active here are Ole South, Davidson Homes, The Jones Company, and CastleRock Communities. Each builder brings its own floor plans, finishes, and price points to the community, so rather than being limited to one product line, buyers can walk several builders' homes and models in the same neighborhood and pick the plan and price that fits best.

Having four respected builders side by side means the range here spans from townhomes through larger single-family plans. We tour Murfreesboro new-construction communities regularly, so if you tell us your must-haves we can help you sort out which builder's current offerings line up with your budget, timeline, and layout preferences — and which homes are already standing versus still to be built.

Homes & floor plans

Homes in Salem Landing include both single-family residences and townhomes, generally ranging from about 1,610 to 2,618 square feet with three to five bedrooms. Lot sizes vary across the community and by builder, and at the time of writing pricing starts around $402,990 — though new-construction numbers move with inventory, phase, and incentives, so we pull live figures for you before you decide.

Notable construction details include 4-sides masonry construction and underground utilities throughout the community. Because four builders are active here, the best way to see the full plan lineup is to review each builder's official community and floor-plan pages — we can send you direct links to Ole South, Davidson Homes, The Jones Company, and CastleRock Communities' current Salem Landing plans, and walk the available homes and models with you in person.

What to verify before you buy

New construction moves quickly, and the details that matter most — current pricing, which phase is releasing, lot availability, exact square footage and elevation, HOA dues and what they cover, and any builder incentives — change from week to week and differ by builder. We don't publish figures we can't stand behind, so before you write an offer let us pull the live numbers and confirm the specifics directly with each builder on your behalf.

• Current pricing and any active incentives by builder
• Which phase and lots are releasing now
• Specific floor plan, square footage, and elevation
• HOA dues and exactly what they cover
• Lot size, orientation, and any premiums
• Move-in-ready vs. to-be-built timelines
• Current school zoning with the district
