Some things to know about Belle Meade:
- It’s stunning – For locals and newcomers, the experience of driving down Belle Meade Boulevard is full of wonder. This tree-lined street runs directly in front of the gorgeous mansions surrounding it, and literally ends at a park (Percy Warner Park) and botanical garden (Cheekwood). Many weddings and events take place at the Belle Meade Plantation and Belle Meade County Club too, thanks to the beautiful landscape at each.
- It’s prestigious – Belle Meade is actually an incorporated city unto itself within Nashville. This means it has its own police force, mayor and town hall. The name stemmed from the Belle Meade Plantation, long recognized as one of the South’s most beautiful estates. For decades, Belle Meade was known as one of the premier and most exclusive areas to live in Nashville.
- It’s small but tight knit – Belle Meade is only 3.1 square miles in size. However, the city prides itself on values such as compassion, respect and teamwork that guide its residents. With regularly planned actives and events, Belle Meade provides much to do for its residents.
- It’s not developing – Though many homes are undergoing renovations and expansions, the area is not able to expand or add signifiant housing development options. This also adds to its desirability and exclusivity as well.
- It’s an ideal location – Downtown Nashville is a mere 15 minute drive, with no interstate involvement. In fact, the entire commute goes from one Nashville neighborhood to the next, which gives the feeling of a suburb far more than a metropolitan area.
