Rental Homes in Smyrna, TN

Located southeast of Nashville along I-24, Smyrna is an agricultural community that has undergone a recent boom in construction and development. A major Nissan plant is located here, as are several engineering companies, including Premier and Square D. Smyrna offers numerous recreational opportunities as well. To the immediate North sits Percy Priest Lake and its southward flowing tributary, Stewart Creek, which meanders its way through Smyrna, running alongside several recreation spots, including volunteer park and the Sam Davis Historical Home and Museum. Smyrna also has its own small craft airport, which was once home to Stewart Air Force Base and now doubles as a training facility for several airborne units of the Tennessee National Guard.

Smyrna's proximity to both Nashville and Murfreesboro makes it an ideal location for living or for strategic real estate investment. The addition of approximately 15,000 people over the past decade has contributed to a steady rise of property values. As new employers move into the area, housing in Smyrna becomes more and more desirable. Much of it is highly affordable, too. You can still find a two or three-bedroom red brick home in Hickory Trace and Highland Park for under $1,000/mo. Higher priced estates can be found in Jefferson Square, The Oaks, and Cedar Forest. These range anywhere from $1,500/mo to $4,000/mo. The Smyrna rental market also offers a wide range of townhouses and condos at prices of $800/mo to $1,500/mo. And despite all the development, there's also a good deal of quiet farmland here as well.

Smyrna's blend of recreational facilities and modern amenities make it ideal for residents of all ages. Families are drawn here because of the many quality neighborhood schools, and because of its numerous parks and playgrounds. Located on 23 square miles of land, Smyrna is becoming increasingly affluent. With a median income approaching $60,000, the town has certainly benefited from its recent economic growth. The revenue collected from the numerous businesses in the area has allowed City Hall to keep property taxes relatively low while continuously upgrading services, such as through the recent completion of Stonecrest Hospital. With all of this ongoing development, there can be no doubt that Smyrna is poised for prosperity over the coming decades.
