Bellevue TN Real Estate & Neighborhood Information
Bellevue is a suburb of Nashville, located roughly 15-minutes west of the downtown area via I-40. Bellevue is incorporated as part of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville. The southwest area of Bellevue is set in the beautiful rolling country-side of western Davidson County, with spectacular vistas of the surrounding mountains and lush landscape.
It is hard to set a population figure for a place such as Bellevue due to the absence of any set, definable boundaries, but it is realistic to think of it as probably being Nashville's second largest suburb after Antioch, with nearly all of the growth coming since the later 1960s and early 1970s.
This is partially due to the widening of U.S. Highway 70S to four lanes shortly before this, and the advent of regular bus service to downtown Nashville. Four decades ago, Bellevue was a small community which existed primarily to service the needs of nearby farms.
It was located mostly along the railroad tracks near the Harpeth River, and had only a few buildings such as a hardware store, a post office, and a Masonic lodge hall. The suburbanization was made official when the United States Postal Service changed the designation of the office there from "Bellview, Tennessee" to a branch of the Nashville office in the late 1970s.
