About Smyrna, Tennessee
How's the Smyrna real estate market?
Smyrna’s population has seen a steady rate of increase since the early ‘90s. This has led to an affordable mix of older and more recent residential single family home options that keep the real estate market stable while still allowing for significant appreciation in home values. Although single family homes in southwest Smyrna can command $400,000-$500,000 near the Murfreesboro border, most single-family dwellings run anywhere from the mid $200,000s to the low $300,000s. The 40% of Smyrna residents who rent their homes also have an uncommon amount of desirable housing possibilities. Much of Nashville’s suburban rental market favors townhomes, condos, and apartment living, but not Smyrna, which has loads of single-family rental properties in the $1,500-$1,800 per month range. Homes in Smyrna are generally 2,500 - 4,000 sqft. many of which offer modern attributes such as an open floorplan, granite countertops, and stainless appliances. For those still seeking that upscale apartment lifestyle, though, multiple new construction complexes, like Verandas at Sam Ridley, are situated right where Smyrna and La Vergne meet along I-24. All this housing diversity supports Smyrna’s broad range of residents in their search for an affordable place to call home.

Why are homes in Smyrna a good investment?
Like the sprawling Nissan production facility that calls the city home, Smyrna’s housing market is possibly the most efficient in the Nashville metro area. Homes are spending an absurdly low average of just 12 days on the market, mostly due to a combination of high demand, affordability, and an appealing variety of housing options. The favorable property taxes in Rutherford County, good school district, and the city government’s investment in the community has made Smyrna one of the most popular suburbs in Middle Tennessee.
What are things to do in Smyrna?
History buffs will enjoy Smyrna’s Sam Davis Home And Plantation, a nearly 200-acre museum and working farm located in the heart of the city. Smyrna is also home to Gregory Mill Park which includes walking trails, picnic tables, and a splash pad. The Jefferson Mill Recreation Area is on the banks of the Stones River and is great for kayaking. Smyrna is also home to the Smyrna airport which is Tennessee’s third largest general aviation airport. If you’re interested in playing a round of golf, the Smyrna Golf Course is a public course owned and operated by the city. The course not only includes traditional golf but was the first course in Tennessee to include foot-golf, a soccer-golf hybrid game. Seeing as Smyrna has so much to offer residents, it’s no wonder it was rated one of the best places in the country to retire by U.S. News & World Report.
