PROJECT YEAR:
2022

LOCATION:
Murfreesboro, TN

SIZE:
150 Units, 20-Acres

This project is a redevelopment of the Oakland Court property for Murfreesboro Housing Authority (MHA). Currently Oakland Court is a 76-unit public housing neighborhood on approximately 20 acres between North Academy and Maney Avenues in Murfreesboro. This New Urbanist masterplan calls for 150 new MHA rental homes which will be a mixture of single-family, duplex and triplex homes. The 76 homes at Oakland Court will be replaced in Phase 1 and another 74 homes will be added in Phase 2.

Overall improvements to the neighborhood include: new streets, street trees and lighting, rear parking courts, walking trails, a pergola structure and a new community building for resident events and an MHA onsite office. An open/green space park extending into the neighborhood will provide a new entry to Oaklands Park.

A new street structure for the development has been developed which is in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood and allows all homes to face the street. The homes have been designed in architectural historic styles found within the neighborhood to blend with the current neighborhood. It is the goal that this neighborhood will be transformed to respect the historic neighboring homes and to engage the beautiful, adjacent Oaklands Mansion and Park in a way which will highlight both for the residents of Oakland Park as well as surrounding neighborhoods and visitors alike.
