Traceside has contemporary homes on the edge of Nashville’s suburbs

Traceside is right where Nashville's suburbs give way to the rural foothills of Middle Tennessee. It's one of the newer pockets of the quiet Bellevue community, with late-1990s homes and prices that run a little higher than you'd expect to see in the area. The neighborhood revolves around a clubhouse, pool and playground, but step outside and the Natchez Trace Parkway and thousands of acres of Warner Parks trails are practically at your doorstep. You're also minutes from Bellevue favorites like the Loveless Cafe and One Bellevue Place, and less than a half-hour drive to both Downtown Nashville and Franklin.

Traceside has brick homes from the 1990s and early 2000s.

High-demand New Traditional homes built in the late 1990s

In Traceside, you’ll find brick-sided New Traditional and Colonial Revival homes that were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s on quarter-acre lots. Prices range from the mid-$600,000s to the mid-$800,000s. It’s one of the pricier corners of Bellevue, with a median above what you would find in Poplar Creek Estates or Harpeth Valley Park. This is because the properties are larger and newer than Bellevue’s typical midcentury ranch-style homes.

“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.” He says that it’s a very popular area with buyers. “The market moves fast, and my last few properties sold here for more than the asking price.”

Get outdoors with the Natchez Trace Parkway and Warner Parks

Traceside was built around a resident-only clubhouse, pool and playground. The pool holds events in the summer and even has its own swim team, the Barracudas. Outside the subdivision itself, you have easy access to some of West Nashville’s best recreation, including:

  • Bellevue Family YMCA, a full-service family gym with an indoor pool, gymnasium and sports courts, with after-school sports and programs for all ages
  • Natchez Trace Parkway, a 444-mile scenic parkway ending in Bellevue, lined with spots for hiking, biking and camping
  • Warner Parks, two city parks spanning more than 3,100 acres with miles of trails, scenic overlooks and the historic Iroquois Steeplechase grounds

The Loveless Cafe opened its doors over 50 years ago in Bellevue.

Loveless Cafe anchors Bellevue's dining and shopping scene

Traceside is close to all the suburban shopping and dining options in Bellevue. There’s a Publix and Kroger directly north of the neighborhood for quick errand runs, and One Bellevue Place is less than 5 miles away for a variety of shopping, dining and an AMC theater. Richard Courtney, a broker for Fridrich & Clark Realty, says that The Loveless Cafe is a particular draw to the area. “It's a landmark here that's known for its country breakfast.” Dine out at:

  • The Loveless Cafe, a Nashville destination known for from-scratch biscuits and country ham since 1951
  • Fortuna Italian Steakhouse, a neighborhood staple with a monthly prix fixe dinner partnering with specific wineries
  • Brewhouse 100, a local bar with trivia nights and a large beer selection
  • Voodoo Gumbo, a well-known spot for Cajun and Creole food

Ensworth School, another nearby private option for kindergarten through 12th grade, also gets an A-plus.

Live music and events at the Ford Ice Center

  • Bellevue Farmers Market, a weekly market from May through October at Red Caboose Park

Closer commutes to Franklin on this side of Bellevue

You’re a bit farther from Interstate 40 than other areas of Bellevue. However, it’s still typically less than 30 minutes to reach downtown Nashville, 18 miles away. You’re closer to Franklin over on this side, though, making this a popular spot for commuters who want easy access to both cities. The 13-mile trip takes about 25 minutes.
