LaVergne, Rutherford County, Middle Tennessee

About LaVergne

La Vergne is a Rutherford County city on the I-24 corridor between Davidson County and Smyrna / Murfreesboro — logistics, warehousing, and everyday retail along Murfreesboro Road (US-41/70S), with suburban neighborhoods inland from the industrial spine. When you cut through the noise, three facts matter more than any brochure headline: (1) the City of La Vergne corporate limits are not the same as ZIP 37086, (2) several RCS feeders that serve La Vergne addresses carry Smyrna mailing addresses — never assign schools by ZIP alone, and (3) Rutherford County GNAR Res $450,000 is county backdrop only — never the City of La Vergne sold median.

This is La Vergne, Tennessee (Rutherford) — Census place FIPS 4741200 — not a county-wide substitute and not a rural 37086 mailing. Population estimate Jul 1, 2025: 42,146 (+8.9% vs 2020 estimates base 38,704; Census 2020 38,719; Census 2010 32,588). Land area 24.72 sq mi (2020); pop/sq mi 2020 1,566.6. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/lavergnecitytennessee/PST045225 · City of La Vergne: https://www.lavergnetn.gov/

Research status: la-vergne-city/ pack is TRULY complete (EVIDENCE-BRIEF + SCHOOLS, EMPLOYERS, RETAIL-MEDICAL, RECREATION, HISTORIC-FAMOUS, BUILDERS_NEW_CONSTRUCTION, NOTABLE_PEOPLE, MAP_PINS + page-sections.json, 2026-09-11). SECTION_ORDER H2s render from the pack payload; this MD keeps the I-24 / Murfreesboro Rd / ZIP-spill / RCS-zone framing.

CRITICAL — Rutherford west-side I-24 city with ZIP honesty. This same city guide is the source for both La Vergne and the Rutherford twin path. County context: Rutherford County area guide. Neighbor seats and peers: Smyrna · Murfreesboro. Do not publish Rutherford County GNAR Res $450,000 as the City of La Vergne median.

Corridors: I-24 Exit 64 (Waldron Rd) · Murfreesboro Road (US-41/70S) commercial spine · Floyd Mayfield Dr (Veterans Memorial / Roy Waldron ES / announced Starbucks retail) · Ingram Blvd (Ingram Content Group) · Industrial Blvd (BJ’s) · regional links toward Smyrna Airport (MQY ~2 mi) / BNA (~11 mi) / Sam Ridley Parkway. ACS mean commute 31.6 min — a local average, not a timed downtown-Nashville ETA. City property tax $0.5363 per $100 assessed; no city school tax; hotel-motel tax 2.5% (city ED page). Mayor Jason Cole (Nov 2018–current). City Hall: 5093 Murfreesboro Road, La Vergne, TN 37086 · 615-793-6295.

First incorporated Feb 28, 1860; rescinded 1881; modern incorporation 1972 (city Historic Timeline). That timeline matters for buyers who think “new suburb only” — the industrial corridor is recent growth on older civic bones.

Commute & daily geography

I-24 is the dominant corridor into Nashville. Waldron Road and other locals feed the interstate.

Housing notes

Suburban residential stock with industrial and logistics uses nearby along the corridor. Confirm HOA rules and any floodplain notes on creek-side parcels.

Commute corridors

I-24 Exit 64 (Waldron Rd) · Murfreesboro Road (US-41/70S) through the city · Floyd Mayfield Dr · Industrial Blvd · Ingram Blvd · regional links toward Sam Ridley Parkway / Smyrna / Murfreesboro / downtown Nashville via I-24. City ED: BNA ~11 mi; Smyrna Airport MQY ~2 mi; CSX rail. City ED ADT claims (I-24 near Exit 64 164,348; Murfreesboro Rd @ Waldron 36,943) — city-published, not independently re-counted this pass. ACS mean commute 31.6 min — a local average, not a fixed downtown Nashville ETA. Drive peak I-24 toward Davidson at your actual work hours before you commit. A 37086 mailing does not tell you whether the house is inside city limits or which high school feeds.

Buy / sell — short diligence

  • City limits vs ZIP first: City of La Vergne corporate limits ≠ ZIP 37086. Never assign schools or taxes by ZIP alone.
  • Schools: RCS for City addresses. Lavergne High GS 5/10; Stewarts Creek High 8/10 (Smyrna mailing — zone by address); Rock Springs ES 7/10; Roy Waldron ES 3/10; Lavergne Lake ES 5/10; Rock Springs MS 7/10; La Vergne MS 5/10. Prefer live GS over Realtor embeds. Private in-city campus = GAP; nearest named privates often Smyrna / Murfreesboro.
  • Market grain: Realtor city sold $330,000 (Aug 2026) is the PRIMARY city number; Redfin city is GAP (blocked); ACS $309,900 ≠ sale; mid-TN market-stats has no La Vergne city row; GNAR Rutherford Res ($450,000 Q2) is county backdrop only — never City sold. Typed SFH/condo/land = GAP.
  • Veterans Memorial Park (55 acres) is the signature city park amenity — skate / fields / memorial wall FACTS from city facilities.
  • HOA/CC&Rs on Blair Ridge and any other PUD stock; rental caps if any.
  • Flood / drainage notes on creek-side / Hurricane Creek parcels — verify per address.
  • Industrial-corridor noise / truck traffic near I-24 / Waldron / Ingram Blvd — walk the street at shift-change hours.
  • New-construction vs resale: builder incentives and lot premiums change; confirm warranty; never trust builder school auto-suggests without parcel verify (especially 37086 mailing or Smyrna-mailing feeders).
  • City vs county services; city property tax $0.5363/$100 assessed + no city school tax (city ED) — still verify the tax bill for the parcel.
  • Bridgestone / Firestone: historic only after 2025 closure news — do not market as current major employer without re-verify.
  • Retail: Walmart + BJ’s + Kroger + ALDI + Save A Lot in city; Target / Costco / Sam’s / open Starbucks in city = GAP.
  • Hospital: TriStar StoneCrest is Smyrna — no in-city acute flagship this pass.
  • Cross-shop Smyrna · Murfreesboro · Rutherford County.

Whether you’re comparing a Blair Ridge Express townhome to an inland Lake Forest resale, shopping Stewarts Creek vs Lavergne High feeds, or weighing an I-24 Exit 64 logistics commute against Murfreesboro Rd convenience — let’s walk through the address-level details. I’ll keep watching these city vs ZIP vs county numbers so you don’t mix them.
