Natural beauty in Belle Meade

With a name meaning “beautiful meadow,” it’s easy to see why Belle Meade is sought after. This small, independent city is within Nashville’s Davidson County, 9 miles from downtown. “Belle Meade has long been seen as one of the most desirable neighborhoods in West Nashville. It’s historically the most affluent area in the city,” says Richard Courtney, broker at Fridrich & Clark Realty, LLC, who has over 45 years of experience in the real estate industry. The area was once a part of the historic Belle Meade Farm and still has a sense of its historic, equestrian community. As its name indicates, the beautiful land has stunning vistas and rolling hills. “Every home has a certain charm to it. It’s surrounded by greenery and typically boasts large lots, though not quite as large as West Meade,” Courtney says. Today, Belle Meade is a city with natural beauty, abundant recreation, and strong ties to its past.

Charming multimillion-dollar homes

Homes can range from relatively modest ranch and Tudor-style homes to Mediterranean-inspired and contemporary sprawling estates. In keeping with the area’s historical roots, even newer mansions retain the historic architecture throughout the city. The median sales price for a single-family home hovers around $2,345,000, boasting median lot sizes around half an acre. Prices can range from the $900,000s to over $1 million for an updated mid-century style ranch and reach as high as $4.9 million for a showstopping 8,000-square-foot Mediterranean oasis with an inground pool. While Belle Meade consists primarily of single-family homes, a few condominium communities are scattered throughout, with prices ranging from the upper $400,000s to the $800,000s for a three-bed, three-bath unit.

I like that it's an up and coming area, with some history still visible here. It's cute, with tons of walking paths and greenways.
