A suburban haven near Nashville

Located in the greater area of Bellevue, the streets of Moss Creek wind their way through a shaded landscape of dense trees in central Tennessee. Primarily residential, the shield-shaped neighborhood lies right beside the Devon Valley and Highlands and is on the outskirts of Nashville. Though there aren’t too many local establishments within its specific boundaries, Moss Creek retains an identity of its own through its residential side. “There’s all sorts of varieties of homes out there and it’s suburban,” says Jacob Kupin, a Realtor and the founder of the Kupin Group. “There’s ranch homes, subdivisions and just a large variety depending on where you go. One of the cool things about Nashville is that there’s a lot of housing choices, and Moss Creek is a neighborhood that has both ownership and rental options. It’s a relatively affordable place in the urban core.”

A wide variety of housing designs

Amid the rolling hills and woods, Moss Creek’s homes come in a variety of styles. Single-family constructions populate the area alongside condominiums and town houses, with the majority of recently-sold properties built between 1960 and the late 1990s. Classic brick ranch homes are very popular in Moss Creek, and the single-level ranch, be it brick or painted, is generally a common find. Other styles include Greek revivals with pillared facades, Craftsman designs, split-level layouts and even some large Colonial homes. Oak, pine and cherry blossom trees can be found on some of the lots, and homes in Moss Creek typically sell for anywhere from close to $400,000 to around $700,000.

Shopping centers and local eateries

For local shopping and dining, head to One Bellevue Place, a revamped center sitting on the site of its predecessor that shared its name.

Local spots include City Limits Bakery and Café, Tequilas Mexican Restaurant and The Well Coffeehouse, while Bellevue Valley Plaza features a Kroger and Aldi for general shopping needs.

To the north, Red Caboose Park is one of the more unique all-purpose recreational areas of Moss Creek. Featuring a caboose structure, of course, along with a playground, areas for picnics and an amphitheater for its live summer concert series. “Red Caboose Park is a great place,” Kupin, who’s also the city councilperson for downtown Nashville, says. “There’s lots of different events and gatherings that happen there, and residents just have easy access to parks and green space.” Other frequent and annual events for the area include farmers markets and Easter egg hunts.

Highways to the north and south

The northernmost corner of Moss Creek runs right up to part of U.S. Route 70, while Tennessee’s Route 100 runs just to the south. “The area has really good proximity to downtown Nashville if people want to go to the city,” Kupin says. “They can take the 70 or 40 into town and probably get there within about 20 minutes.” Reaching downtown can vary in time, but typically can take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. Bellevue Road also curves around the bottom of the neighborhood, comprising some of the southern boundary and ending close to Edwin Warner Park.
