Nashville Area Cities & Neighborhoods

Cities - Davidson County

Belle Meade
In the early 1900s, the Belle Meade Plantation, a working thoroughbred breeding farm that was the final home of several nationally celebrated race horses, began to be converted into the high-end residential community that it is today. In 1953, the area became an independent city, and in 1963 became part of the Metropolitan Nashville area. The Belle Meade Plantation continues to be an historical Civil War landmark and top tourist destination for numerous visitors. The City of Belle Meade has its own mayor and board of commissioners that oversee the management of the city government, which includes its own police department. Though Belle Meade has its own tax structure, the city is also within the Nashville/Davidson County services area and tax district. Belle Meade is one of the wealthiest cities in the state.

Bellevue
Bellevue is a bustling business and residential community 13 miles southwest of downtown Nashville with affordable homes, especially attracting young families, empty nesters and single adults. A resilient community that is currently recovering from the May 2010 disastrous flood, families and the community have bonded together to restore their area to be better than ever. The Bellevue Chamber of Commerce supports the interests of its many retail and small businesses in this effort.

Bellevue is home to the internationally famous Loveless Cafe, the Barn Dinner Theater and Red Caboose Park (Bellevue Park), a children’s playground which has become the site of many musical and entertainment events. Bellevue has a wide array of restaurants and retail establishments. For the avid golfer, the public top-rated Harpeth Hills Golf Course nearby provides a good challenge. The Greystone Golf Club to the southwest is also a favorite for many, and the Temple Hills County Club offers private golfing facilities in adjacent Williamson County.

Nearby are the beautiful Edwin and Percy Warner Parks and the Harpeth River State Park, bordering Highway 100, providing a refuge for wildlife and a favorite exercise venue for bikers, horseback riders, runners, hikers and golfers, as well as a peaceful retreat for the weary from the busy city life, all within a few miles from home. Children and adults alike can learn at the Warner Park Nature Center. For more adventure, the Natchez Trace Parkway begins its 444-mile trek southward toward Mississippi at Highway 100.

Bellevue’s Harpeth Valley Elementary School gained national fame through the hit song, “Harper Valley PTA.” The community has one other elementary school, Gower Elementary School, and is zoned to Bellevue Middle School and two high schools—Bellevue High School and Hillwood High School. Private Nashville Christian School is located in the area, and Ensworth School, a prestigious private school, is on the outskirts of the area on Highway 100.

In the 1950s, the community of Bellevue emerged along Highway 70, the railroad tracks and the Harpeth River to serve the needs of the nearby farm community. Today that area extends eastward to Highway 100, with easy access to I-40 on the most southwestern edge of town. After the town was incorporated into Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, it began to have access to the services of the General Services District.

It is owned by country artist Kix Brooks, businessman Fred Mindermann, and winemaker Kip Summers.  The Tennessee Renaissance Festival at the Village of Covington Glenn brings visitors to visit Castle Gwynn from all over the country to experience the medieval life of 16th century England.

The residential community is beginning to expand with this easy access to the interstate. Limited retail has developed nearby along these routes. Students attend Trinity Elementary School, Page Middle School and  Page High School.

Fairview
This thriving rural community of over 12,050 people, about 20 miles southwest of Nashville in Williamson County, is home to many entertainers who prefer a quieter rural setting away from the downtown Nashville business arena. Fairview High School was listed as #1,492 in the 2010 rankings of Newsweek’s list of “America’s Best High Schools” of over 1,600 high schools.

Significant in the history of Fairview is environmentalist Dr. Evangaline Bowie, who graduated from Vanderbilt Medical School, never practiced medicine or married and upon her death donated 794-acres of land she had reclaimed from strip mining to become Bowie Nature Park. Through the years, Dr. Bowie had salvaged the land from erosion and overuse by planting rows and rows of loblolly pines and other trees, turning the acres into the beautiful, tree-filled park that it is today. At the edge of the park is the Fairview Fire Department on land she donated to ensure that in case of fire in her park, rescue would be nearby. Also at the edge of this property is other land she donated which has been turned into an active industrial park.

Fairview offers a mix of new residential communities and homes on spacious acreage and rural farms. Families in Fairview have access to the high quality of education provided through the Williamson County School System, including Fairview and Westwood Elementary Schools, Fairview Middle School and Fairview High School, complemented by the Fairview Public Library as a resource.

Nolensville
A small town of over 3,100 people east of Brentwood and Franklin, and south of Nashville, Nolensville has a character of its own. Though small, because of its proximity to the other three cities, property values continue to be on the upswing as new high quality residential construction adds subdivisions to the countryside. Award-winning restaurants, antique stores and unique retail areas provide many of the needs for the local residents. Located along the merged Highways 11, 31 and 41, the town affords easy access to Interstate 840 for households with members working at Nissan in Smyrna and Franklin, and Saturn in Spring Hill.

Young families particularly are making Nolensville home due to the superior education provided through the Williamson County Schools District and the recreation areas with ball fields. The more modest sized homes are also attracting empty-nesters, who are downsizing from nearby Brentwood or Franklin, but require many of the amenities found in higher-priced homes.

Yet, the area has a flavor of history, with many residents coming from families who have lived in the area over 200 years. Built in 1820, the Home Place Bed & Breakfast still provides lodging to visitors in the community. Serving the area students are Nolensville Elementary School, Sunset Elementary School, Sunset Middle School and Ravenwood High School, which is in Brentwood, but serves Nolensville area high school students.

Founded in 1797 by William Nolen, the town was incorporated in 1838 serving the small agricultural community surrounding the town. As with many southern rural towns, the Civil War had a significant impact on the community, but it gradually revived.  It was re-incorporated as the Town of Nolensville in 1996, and is in the northeast corner of Williamson County, but has boundaries with Davidson County and Brentwood.

Triune
The Tennessee Renaissance Festival at the Village of Covington Glenn has put the unincorporated town of Triune on the map for many during the month of May, when the owners of Castle Gwynn and its grounds in nearby Arrington host the festival.

A tourist destination for Civil War buffs, Murfreesboro and the nearby area are rich in history.

Other recreational opportunities abound with several public golf courses in the area; many lakes and rivers with fishing, boating, canoeing and other water sports; NASCAR racing on nearby Nashville Superspeedway; and more.

Murfreesboro is the county seat of Rutherford County, which was the fastest growing county in Tennessee, according to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2009. Some 35 miles southeast of Nashville in the geographic center of Tennessee, Murfreesboro, historically, was the state capitol from 1818 to 1826, due to its location, before Nashville reclaimed the honor. Originally on 60 acres of land owned by Captain William Lytle, in 1811, the Tennessee State Legislature selected the site for the Rutherford County seat, naming it “Cannonsburgh” after young Williamson County politician Newton Cannon. One month later, the town was renamed “Murfreesborough” in memory of Lytle’s friend, Colonel Hardy Murfree.
