Nashville neighborhood on list of areas with most stunning front yards in U.S.
Belle Meade, a Nashville neighborhood is earning national recognition for having some of the lushest lawns in the country, according to a new survey. Belle Meade ranked 38th on the list and is an area known for its well-manicured lawns and historic homes.
In fact, Cheekwood Estate and Gardens — a 55-acre botanical garden known for its world class art exhibitions and picturesque scenery — is also located in the Belle Meade neighborhood.
Belle Meade operates independently as a city, complete with its own regulations, a city hall, and police force, but it is also integrated with the Nashville government. The city's history dates back to 1807, when John Harding of Virginia purchased the Dunham's Station log cabin and 250 acres on the Natchez Trace near Richland Creek. He named the property Belle Meade, which is French for "beautiful meadow".
Today the city is filled with historical and new construction mansions, shops and restaurants and beautiful parks and golf courses.
