ParkVue condos, cottages offer lock-and-leave lifestyle on Nashville’s west side – The Tennessean

Chris and Lisa Young wanted a lock-and-leave lifestyle in a neighborhood close — but not too close — to downtown Nashville’s restaurants and cultural and entertainment venues. They found what they were looking for in ParkVue, on the city’s west side in Bellevue.

The new neighborhood, located one mile from I-40 at 7483 Highway 70S, will have 48 stacked condominiums in four buildings and 24 cottage homes. Prices for the condos, which have two bedrooms and two full baths, start at $249,900.

Prices for the three-level single-family homes range from $319,900 for 1,707 square feet to $329,900 for 1,920 square feet. The neighborhood is being developed by Parkside Builders. Homes are currently under construction. The Youngs expect to move into their new home in December.

“We go to the Schermerhorn (Symphony Center) and other things quite a bit. ParkVue is close enough to downtown but not in the middle of all the craziness,” said Chris Young.

When they’re not downtown, the couple plan to enjoy walking to One Bellevue Place, which features a Sprouts Farmers Market, a movie theater, Nashville Predators Sports Center, restaurants and shopping.

They can meet their daughter, who lives nearby in Bellevue Station, another neighborhood developed in Bellevue by Parkside that quickly sold out.

“We’ve had an immense amount of interest in (ParkVue) from potential buyers and Realtors in the area,” said Tiffany Caine, director of sales and managing broker for Parkside.

“With prices from the mid $200s for such a prime location, these will sell out quickly. It’s an exciting time in Bellevue and we’re very happy to be a part of Bellevue again,” she said.

Bellevue attracting new residents

The Youngs were attracted by ParkVue’s promise of a lock-and-leave lifestyle. Avid travelers, they were looking for a neighborhood where green spaces and landscaping are maintained by the homeowners association.

The neighborhood features cobblestone streets, sidewalks, open spaces and homes in bright colors with front porches and balconies. The cottage homes have two-car garages. The condos have one assigned parking space and guest parking.

“Bellevue is a great place for individuals and families to live for so many reasons. From the beauty of Edwin and Percy Warner parks to canoeing on the Harpeth River, outdoor fun at Red Caboose Park, in combination with abundant new shopping, dining, retail plus convenience to the city, it’s been a great place to live for years and has just gotten better and better with time,” said Caine.

Close to the city, but not too close

The Youngs are part of a growing trend of retirees moving from the suburbs to the cities to be closer to family and conveniences, said Kevin Banks, their real estate agent. Banks, a Realtor with Helton Real Estate Group at Keller Williams, was also their daughter’s agent.

The Youngs moved from Cheatham County, where they owned a home in Pleasant View Village, a mixed-use neighborhood of single-family houses, apartments, shops, restaurants and office space in the town of Pleasant View.

They considered moving close to downtown, but Bellevue’s combination of amenities and affordability caught their attention. The Youngs are among the first homebuyers in ParkVue.

“We wanted to get in close to town. Prices are more reasonable in Bellevue and we love the location,” said Chris Young.

The couple were visiting their daughter in Los Angeles when they spotted ParkVue online. They quickly contacted Banks.

“It’s a place people want to be,” Banks said of Bellevue and ParkVue. “Far enough outside the core of Nashville that prices are still affordable. For the demographic who don’t want a big yard, it’s a sweet spot for them.”
