A charming little suburb just a stone’s throw from the bustle of downtown Music City, Bellevue is proud of its diverse population and cozy, yet progressive atmosphere. Its proximity to great schools and idyllic parks is a huge draw for young families looking to leave the city and settle down.<\/p>\n

Its recent growth into a nightlife, shopping, and entertainment hub has also seen an influx of up-and-coming young professionals looking for a more affordable, laid-back community to call home. It’s a great place to move if you’re looking for a fabulous mix of sophistication and family-forward vibes.<\/p>\n

Where is Bellevue?<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just 12 miles west of the city along Highway 40, Bellevue is located at the very western tip of Metro Davidson County. It’s bordered by Williamson, Dickson, and Cheatham counties to the south, west, and north, respectively.<\/p>\n

Head east toward the city, and you’ll run into the historic, upscale Belle Meade community. While Bellevue is technically a Metro Nashville community, it’s managed to retain its small-town atmosphere.<\/p>\n

History\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bellevue inherited its name from “Belle Vue,” the plantation home owned by the town’s founder, Louis DeMoss. As the area grew, its building and economy focused on agriculture with some local establishments that provided goods and services for the surrounding farmland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to the beginning of the 2000s, and you’ll find a booming community. The areas’ growth includes apartments, condominiums, shopping centers, and subdivisions, all living harmoniously alongside Bellevue’s beloved parks and nature centers.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Since over 60 percent of Bellevue consists of land protected by the Nashville Metro Parks’ Conservation department, the lifestyle is perfect for those who love to get out and canoe, fish, hike, and camp. Anyone looking for an adventure is sure to find one in the massive Warner Parks district, the Harpeth River State Park, and the historic Old Natchez Trace Parkway, to name a few.<\/p>\n

The Warner Parks also host a “full moon pickin’ party” for live bluegrass and Americana music.<\/p>\n

What to Do<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the lifestyle in Bellevue is all about community and family engagement as well. A weekly farmer’s market and an annual community picnic take place at the Red Caboose Park located in the town’s heart to keep that festive community spirit going. The Red Caboose also sports a stage where artists come to perform live music during community events.<\/p>\n

Its brand new, state-of-the-art library and community center play host to several activities for the public. With everything from yoga, Dungeons and Dragons tournaments, chess clubs, and more, it’s hard not to find something to spark your interest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If the library’s not your thing, Bellevue loves its sporting events, one of the most notable being the Iroquois Steeplechase in Percy Warner Park, which attracts more than 25,000 spectators every year.<\/p>\n

Want to play some hockey? Or just skate? The Ford Ice Center is the training facility for the Nashville Predators and is open to the public.<\/p>\n
