Rural housing with additions of new and upscale properties
Lush and vast farmland dotted with hay bales and barns dominate the areas around Bethesda-Duplex and Bethesda roads. Stretches of fencing border multi-acre lots occupied by homes ranging from ranch-style houses to modern brick Traditionals. The rural lands feature a mixture of open fields and dense groups of mature trees. Despite the rural scenery, upscale subdivisions have increasingly popped up. The new houses also make up most of what’s gone on the market recently. Primarily exhibiting Traditional traits, they measure more than a few thousand square feet and occupy lots ranging from a third of an acre to over an acre. Some houses exhibit Greek touches like first- and second-floor porches with white columns. Many of these houses run between $1 million and $1.5 million. New townhouses with similar styles can also run between $500,000 and $600,000.

Youth sports at the Bethesda Park and Recreation Center
The Bethesda Park and Recreation Center houses several facilities, such as a basketball gym, sand volleyball court and baseball fields. Baseball is a major activity here, so the site often hosts games. Children also enjoy burning off energy at its playground. Liberty Park, close to Franklin to the north, spans 85 acres with more baseball fields and a 10-hold disc golf course. Williamson County also has plans to build a new recreation center in Bethesda. The facility’s amenities will include a senior citizen space and more ballparks.

Highly rated Thompson’s Station Middle School
Children and teens in Bethesda have access to several highly rated schools. Younger students can start at Bethesda Elementary, which received an A grade from ratings site Niche. The rating platform ranks Bethesda Elementary among the top 50 best public elementary schools in the state. Students can then attend Thompson’s Station Middle School and Summit High School, which received A and B-plus grades respectively from Niche. Niche ranks Thompson’s Station Middle as Tennessee's fourth best public middle school. The middle school’s extracurricular activities include a Battle of the Books team and a Video Game Creation Club. Battle of the Books challenges participants to read a list of books and involves competitions against other middle school teams. The community also remains involved in school matters, with the Bethesda Masonic Lodge being among the local groups regularly raising student scholarship funds. “The communities around Bethesda are all very small, including the schools. That means parents become friends, all the kids know each other and their siblings, and close relationships are common,” says Matt Bogosian, Realtor with Kerr & Co. Realty, who’s made many sales in Bethesda and its neighboring communities.

Community ice cream suppers and the Tennessee Renaissance Festival
On Saturdays during the summer, churches throughout the community put on ice cream socials — or suppers, as those in Bethesda call them — where goers can also enjoy grilled burgers and hot dogs. The socials involve charity auctions, during which the organizers raffle off items ranging from homemade cakes and pies to flowers donated by the Riverbend Nurseries. “All kinds of things are donated to the auction,” says Williamson County Commissioner Betsy Hester, whose district includes Bethesda. “It’s fun to go see what’s been donated, and it’s fun to bid because you’re bidding for a good cause.” Williamson County also hosts the Tennessee Renaissance Festival, a multi-day event in May. Those attending dress in Renaissance attire, pose for photos in front of the impressive Castle Gwynn and enjoy turkey legs from the food booths. Other entertainment includes horse-mounted performers clad in armor.

Downtown Nashville is about 33 miles north of Bethesda. Commuters in Bethesda take Interstate 65 west of the community to reach both the Music City and the Nashville International Airport, the latter of which is about 35 miles north of the community. The Williamson Medical Center in Franklin lies 15 miles north of Bethesda.Famous pizzas at Bethesda Market & Deli
Opened in 1879, the Bethesda Market & Deli is a staple for groceries, meats and prepared meals like burgers and pizza. “The Bethesda Market’s pizza, I’d put it up against any of the larger name pizzas,” Smith says. “They’re just friendly people. You enjoy going and doing business with them.” The market prepares plates and to-go boxes of downhome fare like shredded pork with sides of mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Spring Hill to the west offers more shopping options. The small city’s Crossings of Spring Hill shopping center is home to a Target, several chain restaurants and the AMC Classic Spring Hill 12 movie theater.
