JS Properties, LLC is a local real estate brokerage and property management firm in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. As such, states Joyce Smotherman of JS Properties, LLC, the company is in a unique position to witness firsthand the changes that have occurred in the Middle Tennessee area and particularly in Murfreesboro in recent years.

With the addition of retail outlets such as The Oaks and The Avenue, Murfreesboro has become a shopping destination. This is especially nice for those that don’t want to make the drive to Nashville to experience quality dining and shopping. Residents and businesses like JS Properties, LLC are proud to be a part of Murfreesboro’s continued growth and economic success.

JS Properties, LLC adds that the city has been able to achieve a balance between the city’s older, more quaint downtown area and the newer, more modern construction by focusing civic enhancements and developments on Murfreesboro’s neighborhood-scale downtown center. Historic downtown, according to JS Properties, LLC, offers visitors a chance to frequent art galleries, various clothing shops, hardware stores and restaurants as well as other businesses and government offices with the centerpiece being the pre-Civil War courthouse.

The new Middle Tennessee Medical Center, located on Medical Center Parkway in the Gateway area for Murfreesboro, will be opening October 2, 2010, says Joyce Smotherman of JS Properties, LLC. The “green” facility is a part of the St. Thomas Health Services group, contains 286 beds that are 277 square feet each and has the most advanced technology in Middle Tennessee, notes JS Properties, LLC. MTMC is also the first hospital that features voice over IP throughout the entire facility. JS Properties, LLC states that the construction of the new medical center is a huge boon for Murfreesboro.

Overall, the response to the vast changes that have come to Murfreesboro from locals and visitors alike has been overwhelmingly positive. While traffic may be a bit more congested, adds JS Properties, LLC, the family-friendly atmosphere and southern hospitality are still very prevalent.
