America’s biggest boomtown is Nashville’s largest suburb, and is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee. Murfreesboro's five-year population figure was up by 19.6% in 2020, while its number of housing units had increased by 21.15% between 2014 and 2019.
As of August 2021, it had one of the lowest unemployment rates (3.4%) and it's also seen an average yearly GDP growth of 3.71%. For the 150,000+ people who call Murfreesboro home, household income has increased by a neat 38.35%.
This suburb particularly suits those who want proximity to Nashville but without the hustle and bustle of a big city. The county’s schools rank highly compared to others across the state and Murfreesboro is also home to Middle Tennessee State University.
While the city boasts several museums dedicated to local history, there is also a reproduction of a working pioneer village among its parks and recreation facilities. Cyclists will also approve of the city's growing system of paved bike paths.
