Bellevue

Bellevue is a green, family-friendly community in southwest Nashville, mostly in ZIP 37221, set along the Harpeth River. It's known for wooded lots, easy access to the Warner Parks, and a quieter, suburban feel. Buyers come for the space and nature while staying inside Davidson County and close to I-40.

As of September 2026, single-family homes in Bellevue sold for a median of about $598,000. The average was higher, near $791,000, because some large riverfront estates pull it up. Homes that closed averaged about 32 days on market, with roughly four months of supply. There's a wide range here, from starter ranches to luxury builds.

Bellevue's homes range from 1960s and 1970s ranches and split-levels to newer subdivisions and custom builds. Established areas like River Plantation and Hidden Valley sit near the river and golf, and you'll find townhomes and condos closer to the shopping. It's a mix that works for first-time buyers and move-up families alike.

Bellevue is served by Metro Nashville Public Schools. Zoned options in the area include James Lawson High and Bellevue Middle, along with several elementary schools. School zoning depends on your exact address, so it's worth confirming the assigned schools for any specific home before you buy.

Bellevue is loaded with green space. Edwin and Percy Warner Parks offer miles of hiking and horse trails just minutes away. The Harpeth River Greenway is great for walking and biking, and Red Caboose Park is a local favorite for families. The Harpeth River itself is popular for paddling in warmer months.

One Bellevue Place is the main hub for shopping, groceries, and restaurants in the area. More local spots line Highway 70 South, from coffee shops to family restaurants. For bigger trips, downtown and the West End are a short drive up I-40, but most daily needs are covered right in Bellevue.

The commute from Bellevue is easier than its southwest-side location suggests. I-40 runs straight through, so downtown Nashville is about 20 minutes away outside of rush hour, maybe 30 during the morning and evening peaks. The airport is farther, roughly 30 minutes across town, since it's on the opposite side of the city.
