A Creekside community near Music City
Traceside gets its name from Trace Creek, which runs along its eastern side. The community is near lots of entertainment—just 17 miles south of Music City—but still is far enough away from all the noise in downtown Nashville. “It is a very family-oriented neighborhood,” says Tony Carletello, a Realtor with Compass, who was born and raised in Nashville. “Traceside developed about 30 years ago and is an established community known throughout the city.” The proximity of the creek attracts outdoor enthusiasts who can take advantage of the scenic drive down the Natchez Trace Parkway to appreciate views of Trace Creek. People also park their cars and relax at the parkway or hike the Natchez Trace Scenic Trails.

The Bellevue YMCA serves as a place for indoor recreation with exercise rooms, workout equipment and a track. When it's open, people visit the pool to enjoy a day in the sun or cheer on the Barracuda swim team.

Country breakfast in a cozy cafe
There are many local shopping and dining options in Traceside like The Loveless Café, which is a big draw for people, according to Richard Courtney, a Broker for Fridrich & Clark Realty, LLC. “It’s a landmark here that’s known for its country breakfast,” says Courtney. The Café has been serving folks since 1951. When it’s finally time to run errands, residents have a short drive along Tennessee State Route 100 to Kroger. The Trace Creek Kroger Center features many small eateries, including Café 100. People grab brunch or dinner with a cocktail at the café, or head to Tito’s and Las Palmas for authentic Mexican with a possible margarita on the side.
