About West Meade, Nashville, Tennessee
Where to stay in West Meade, Nashville, Tennessee
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
West Meade sits west of downtown Nashville, and it reads as a leafy residential address rather than a hotel strip. Beds here are quiet. Most rooms fall along the wooded streets that climb the ridges of this part of Nashville, so you trade nightlife proximity for calm and easy driving into the wider city and out toward Belle Meade Plantation.
Pick a base near the neighbourhood's own lanes for stillness, or edge toward the routes that carry you back into Davidson County's central districts when you want the pace of the city itself.
About West Meade, Nashville, Tennessee
What are the main landmarks in West Meade, Nashville, Tennessee?
The name most travellers attach to this corner of Nashville is Belle Meade Plantation. The historic estate stands just off the southern edge of West Meade, its mansion and grounds anchoring the wider area's story. Belle Meade Plantation draws visitors who want the antebellum architecture and horse-farm history that shaped this stretch of Davidson County long before the ridges filled with suburban homes.
Come for the estate. Stay for the wooded quiet around it.
What is the history of West Meade, Nashville, Tennessee?
West Meade grew as a residential extension on the western flank of Nashville, taking its name and character from the old Belle Meade Plantation lands nearby. Its streets came late. What had been horse-farm and estate country slowly gave way to the wooded suburban neighbourhood that fills the ridges, while the land itself stayed bound to the larger story of Davidson County.
Because the county government of Davidson County merged with that of Nashville, West Meade answers to the Metropolitan Council of Nashville and Davidson County rather than to any separate town hall of its own.
Where is West Meade, Nashville, Tennessee?
West Meade spreads across wooded ridges west of downtown Nashville, its lanes rising and dipping with the hilly terrain that separates this quiet residential neighbourhood from the busier core of Davidson County. It lies in Tennessee, one of the states of the United States.
