Our families who relocated from New Jersey enjoy Murfreesboro's unique combination of big city amenities within a hometown atmosphere. MTSU is also a strong drawing card; a world class college education right in your backyard.
-Holli Montgomery, Managing Director, Schwan Cosmetics
I came to Rutherford County to go to school and loved it and stayed! Murfreesboro is a great place to raise a family and I love all that is offered here - great schools, lots of outdoor activities and great people.
-Abbigail Stanley, Nurse Residency Lead Recruiter, HCA TriStar
We love taking advantage of the greenway system, especially Barfield Park. It's great to be able to experience nature without having to travel too far. We also love the many restaurants and grocery options (vegan, vegetarian, and Asian are our favorites).
