Nashville suburb with ‘beautiful views’ and plenty to do
There’s certainly plenty to see in Bellevue, which in French means “beautiful view.” This large suburb on the southwestern reaches of Nashville consists of hilly neighborhoods surrounded by dense woodlands. The Harpeth River winds right through the heart of the community and part of it is followed by a greenway of the same name. Many residents can leave their homes and easily access the Harpeth River Greenway, which passes by golfing and canoeing sites and connects to one of the most popular city-run green spaces in Middle Tennessee. Completing the suburb are several dense shopping centers that ensure the community is never too far from its day-to-day needs. “It was kind of one of Nashville’s original bedroom communities,” says Scott Troxel, a Realtor with Keller Williams Music City, who’s made several sales in Bellevue. “It’s considered a convenient neighborhood. There are some good retail districts kind of scattered around the area. Among the couple of the things that are really nice about Bellevue is it sits close to Warner Parks. They’re huge parks. They provide great hiking, biking, running, picnicking kind of environments.” Leigh Ann Parkinson, a Realtor with Real Broker, echoes some of the peer’s comments about the attractions to this suburb. “I think there are two things. Bellevue is still an easy commute to Nashville,” Parkinson, who lives on the south end of Bellevue, says. “And our parks are outstanding.”

Comfortable suburb with ranch-styles, Colonials and Traditionals
Bellevue’s neighborhoods exhibit traditional suburban traits. Houses face lush lawns and peaceful streets and back into groups of tall and mature trees. Some of the most common builds in Bellevue’s neighborhoods are ranch-style houses, Colonial Revivals and modern Traditionals from the 1990s and early 2000s. Neighborhoods like Bellevue Manor/1776 Estates features more spacious yards than several other subdivisions. This neighborhood off George E Horn Road features many ranch-style houses and a few Colonial Revivals with at least 1-acre lots. With the Harpeth River and the greenway running through the community, many residents are within a short walking distance to the trail. Bellevue has also attracted growing families. Many houses are at least a few thousand square feet and priced at around the half-million mark, which can make it a favorable alternative to far more affluent neighboring suburbs like Oak Hill and Brentwood. Price points can go from just over $560,000 for a 2,400-square-foot Traditional to about $740,000 for an even larger Colonial Revival. Townhouses can also run between $360,000 and $430,000, depending on factors like age and size.
Bellevue offers family-friendly subdivisions with cul-de-sacs.

Neighborhood pathway to popular Warner Parks
Residents looking for some outdoor leisure can start on the Harpeth River Greenway, a more than 6-mile long path that cuts through scenic woods and open spaces. The greenway continues to Warner Parks on the eastern end of Bellevue. Warner Parks is the collective name for Edwin and Percy Warner parks, which together total more than 3,100 acres. Visitors enjoy miles of both paved and natural trails for activities ranging from hiking and jogging to biking and horseback riding. The trails weave between forested hills that include many maples. Notable sites include the Allee, an extensive series of limestone steps and an entrance into Percy Warner Park, and several overlooks giving hikers views of the rolling hills and the Nashville skyline in the distance. Past celebrity visitors to the parks include Taylor Swift, who created some local buzz there years ago when she photobombed a family portrait session. She also hiked the area with fellow singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran in 2018. The parks are convenient for golfers, who can choose the nine-hole Percy Warner Golf Course and the 18-hole Harpeth Hills Golf Course. Other fun sites include the nearby Adventure Park at Nashville, where children and teens enjoy climbing onto the tree structures and ziplining across the site. Nature lovers and hikers enjoy adventuring through Harpeth River State Park, where they can pass by the remains of abandoned structures.

The Loveless Cafe’s famous biscuits
Located on the southern end of Bellevue, the Loveless Cafe is a community institution with a nearby event center. Known for its down home fare, regulars and tourists alike have long enjoyed Southern style biscuits made from scratch and plates of country ham and fried chicken. “It’s mostly known for its breakfasts. Their biscuits are probably what they’re most known for,” Troxel says. “My wife and I, when we got married 35 years ago, we had our rehearsal at Loveless, and somebody was keeping track of how many biscuits I ate … It was 13. They’re really, really good.” Other local favorites include the Cafe 100 bistro farther up the road from Loveless. Cafe 100 serves a variety of fare with an upscale touch and neighbors another popular spot, the Fortuna Italian Steakhouse. A Kroger sits just across the road from the two restaurants and is one of a few grocery stores in Bellevue.

The local Community Picnic and Iroquois Steeplechase
Bellevue hosts one of the biggest annual events in the Nashville region, the Iroquois Steeplechase. The horse race and more than 80 year old tradition takes place in May at Percy Warner Park. Goers formally deck themselves out for the event and can take part in other activities like tailgating and enjoying snacks and beverages in private tents. Some also take part in some informal wagering. “It probably draws about 20,000 to 25,000 people,” Troxel says. “It’s an upper crust event, but there’s also space for normal people to be there, as well.” Another well attended, but more community centric event, is the Bellevue Harpeth Chamber of Commerce’s annual Community Picnic. The event, which also occurs in May, takes place at Red Caboose Park. The event features child-friendly attractions like rides, inflatable fixtures and interactions with the petting zoo animals. The park also hosts the seasonal Bellevue Farmers Market.

New James Lawson High and highly-rated private choice in Ensworth
Younger children in Bellevue can attend Harpeth Valley Elementary School, which received a B-plus from ratings site Niche. They can then go on to Bellevue Middle School and the new James Lawson High School. The middle school received a C-plus from Niche, while the high school doesn’t have a rating yet. A replacement for the old Hillwood High School, James Lawson High boasts a 300,000-square-foot facility with features like state-of-the-art classrooms and outdoor courtyards. Bellevue is also home to the private Ensworth School’s high school campus, or the Frist Campus. Rated an A-plus by Niche, Ensworth has several distinct activities. Among them is the Capstone Program, which allows juniors and seniors to explore certain subjects outside of the classroom and can involve internships.

The interstate continues past downtown to the Nashville International Airport, which is about 20 miles east of Bellevue.
