A Day in the Life at Shelton Square: Resident Stories

Wondering what it’s really like to live in Shelton Square? Beyond the floor plans and finishes, this community offers something more valuable — a lifestyle rooted in connection, comfort, and everyday joy. In this article, we’ll walk through a typical day at Shelton Square, highlighting the little details that make a big difference to residents.

Morning: Peace, Routine, and Scenic Walks

For many residents, the day begins with a quiet walk along the community’s interconnected sidewalks and trails. Whether you’re walking the dog, pushing a stroller, or fitting in a morning run, the natural beauty of the neighborhood provides a calming backdrop.

Kids ride bikes to school bus stops or walk with parents to nearby pocket parks. Families appreciate the short drive to Blackman schools, one of Murfreesboro’s most sought-after zones. Explore why in our guide to top schools in Murfreesboro.

Midday: Work, Wellness, and Flexibility

Many Shelton Square homes include dedicated offices, bonus rooms, or flex spaces — ideal for remote work. Residents in the Sanctuary Series and Estate Series often convert these spaces into home offices, craft rooms, or study areas.

If you’re off work or work from home, mid-morning is a great time to hit the community fitness center, meet a neighbor at the playground, or simply enjoy a coffee on the porch.

Afternoon: Community Connections

After school, the neighborhood comes alive. Kids play in the grassy commons or meet friends at the playground while parents chat from porch to porch. Teenagers shoot hoops at the basketball court or walk pets along the trails.

On sunny days, the resort-style pool becomes a neighborhood hub, with families gathering for a casual swim or to unwind after work.

Evening: Relaxation and Neighborhood Life

In the evenings, it’s common to see residents grilling dinner, hosting porch chats, or attending one of the many community events like food truck nights or seasonal celebrations. The clubhouse offers flexible space for private gatherings or HOA-hosted functions.
