An elegant mansion with balconies, pillars, and a red roof stands at the heart of the Belle Meade neighborhood. The Belle Meade mansion was built in 1807 by John Harding, a horse breeder who became world-famous for his thoroughbreds. Today, 30 acres of the original plantation, including the mansion and several outbuildings, operate as a museum. The plantation is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The beauty and history of the plantation permeates the surrounding neighborhood, and Belle Meade is one of Nashville's most desirable neighborhoods. In addition to the historic plantation, this is also the location of the prestigious Belle Meade Country Club. Famous Belle Meade residents include Amy Grant, former Vice President Al Gore, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham.
Belle Meade borders Percy Warner Park, part of the Warner Park Historic District (along with Edwin Warner Park). The two parks cover 2,684 acres and include cross-country courses, hiking trails, and an equestrian center. If you choose a Belle Meade apartment, you'll be just eight miles southwest of Downtown Nashville and roughly five miles from Vanderbilt University and Belmont University.
As of September 2025, the average apartment rent in Belle Meade is $1,695 for one bedroom, and $1,955 for two bedrooms. Apartment rent in Belle Meade has increased by 6.2% in the past year.
