Murfreesboro is prepping for another big batch of rooftops. A new subdivision dubbed Campbell Crossing is on the drawing board, with developers asking the city to annex roughly 73.9 acres off Old Lebanon Pike for a mixed residential project that would bring about 246 homes to the area near the Tennessee Miller Coliseum.
Plans call for 148 attached townhomes and 98 single-family houses. The townhomes are shown with minimum unit sizes of about 1,400 square feet, typically three bedrooms in the interior units and up to four bedrooms on the end units. The detached houses would range from roughly 1,600 to 2,700 square feet on lots starting at around 6,000 square feet. Every home would include a front-entry garage, foundation landscaping, and a sodded front yard.
Details from a March 11 conceptual workshop, including City Council and Planning Commission minutes, identify the site as 3585 Old Lebanon Pike (Map 58/Parcel 46.0) and put the overall density at about 3.33 units per acre, according to the City of Murfreesboro.
Layout, Lot Sizes and Open Space
The concept plan breaks out the 246 units into 148 townhomes and 98 detached lots across about 73.9 acres. The project description notes that roughly 27.9% of the planned residential development would be preserved as open space. About 25.71 acres would be dedicated to the city, including wetland areas and the entrance to Black Cat Cave.
The agenda packet also spells out parking counts, proposed trail connections, a wetland mitigation area and neighborhood amenities such as a dog park and playground, according to presentation materials filed with the City of Murfreesboro.
Traffic Talk, Parking Plans and What Comes Next
Engineers walked through a traffic-impact study and recommended transportation improvements during the March workshop, and city staff and council members kicked around options to manage extra cars in the area. That included discussion of a suggested left-turn lane on Old Lebanon Pike to help handle the influx.
Project materials show a total of 587 parking spaces across garages, driveways and guest stalls, which is a small surplus over what the city requires. The minutes also note that council members raised concerns about how the new neighborhood could affect nearby schools and local infrastructure, and they asked for more clarity on housing type and market strategy. The developer responded that the units are intended primarily as for-sale housing rather than rentals, according to the City of Murfreesboro.
The city's Development Services Division has already rolled out a short video overview of the master plan on its official Facebook page, posted June 18, 2026. The reel walks viewers through the layout, preserved areas and planned amenities, reinforcing the concept materials and serving as a primer ahead of more formal debates, per the City of Murfreesboro, TN - Government.
For now, Campbell Crossing is still at the conceptual annexation and zoning stage. The project will need formal rezoning, detailed site-plan review and public hearings before both the Planning Commission and City Council before any dirt can be turned, according to application materials filed with the City of Murfreesboro.
