La Vergne Real Estate and Homes For Sale

Over the last few decades, builders in the city of La Vergne have generally designed their developments to ensure that often disenfranchised populations have the opportunity to own an affordable home. La Vergne’s Lake Forest Estates, for instance, is the largest subdivision in the entire state of Tennessee and features homes that range in price from $325,000 - $450,000. The overall result of this development approach is a relatively mature housing market that resists upheaval — even amidst an economic renewal.

Another consequence of this homeownership focus is a unique landscape for renters. Over 70% of residents own their homes, an impressive ratio even for the most well-off neighborhoods. These homeownership opportunities, however, appear to have come at the expense of rental property development. While apartments, townhomes, and condos, like the Rutherford Pointe Apartments, do exist, they are generally quite dated. In place of these conventional rental options, single-family homes have emerged as the primary option in the La Vergne rental market. While the usual rent of $1,800 or so per month might seem exorbitant, it’s fairly reasonable for that much space in a neighborhood that’s definitely on the rise. Many of the homes in La Vergne are 2,000 - 4,000 square feet and offer modern features such as an open floor plan, hardwood flooring, and granite countertops.
