What Bellevue Is Like
Bellevue was a small farming community along the railroad and the Harpeth River until I-40 came through in the early 1960s. Suburban growth followed, and today the area includes subdivisions from many decades, newer communities, townhomes, and condos. After the 2010 flood hit hard here, Bellevue saw a decade of new residential and commercial development.
Outdoor space is a big part of daily life. Percy and Edwin Warner Parks, with miles of trails, are at Bellevue's edge, and a designated scenic stretch of the Harpeth River runs through the area. One Bellevue Place, on the site of the former Bellevue mall, is the main shopping hub, and Red Caboose Park hosts the annual Bellevue Community Picnic.
