Neatly planned suburb near entertainment

Settled by the curve of the Harpeth River are neat rows of homes and a tight-knit community in River Plantation. A planned neighborhood that began construction in the 1970s, it blossomed from a mere 100 properties to over a thousand. It’s nestled in the greater Bellevue area and is just under 15 miles southwest of downtown Nashville. The meticulous design of the neighborhood allows the residents of River Plantation to be close—it’s a peaceful atmosphere amongst the interconnected streets, but it has the convenient location of being close to a wealth of amenities. “My grandma bought one of the first homes there back when it started in the 1970s. It was built in phases, so you’ve got a ton of housing variety,” says Connie Hubbuch Cambron, a Realtor at SimpliHOM with more than a decade of experience in the area. “There’s a huge range of ages living there, too. You’ll see people together at the pub or hanging out on their patios.”

River Plantation is located around 14 miles West of Downtown Nashville.

Sidewalks to ranch houses and townhomes

The lines of homes with shared manicured lawns may not portray much variety at first glance, but there are many brick ranch single-family dwellings, Greek Revival townhomes and condos. Unique to the neighborhood, many property entrances face away from the main driving roads while the garages are in back alleys. This allows the houses that don’t sit on the main street to still have green space, as the inward-facing homes share lawns and sidewalks. Properties are typically priced between $275,000 and $475,000, ranging in size from 1,000 to a little over 2,000 square feet.

One-stop shop at One Bellevue Place

Just north of the neighborhood, community members can get any errand done, from shopping to a medical check-up at One Bellevue Place, a multi-use complex with retailers, grocery stores, entertainment and private medical practices. “The old Bellevue Mall has recently been revitalized, so everyone goes there,” Cambron says. Whether it's grabbing groceries from Sprouts or catching a movie at AMC Theatres, it’s all right there. Residents order the signature chicken and waffles at PDK Southern Kitchen & Pantry, which also stays stocked with local produce and baked goods. And City Limits Bakery and Café is a Bellevue breakfast staple. For a more local atmosphere, Plantation Pub offers brews and bar food past midnight.

The flood that brought the community together

River Plantation may be conveniently situated near plenty of amenities, but the community environment is what really draws people in. “The neighborhood was so impacted by the flood in 2010. It was overwhelming to see how much the neighbors helped each other rebuild, bringing supplies, letting people stay in their own homes. It was truly special,” Cambron explains.

River Plantation residents live close together and help each other out when in need.
