Belle Meade Tower

NASHVILLE’S ICONIC BELLE MEADE HIGH-RISE

Location and Daily Life at Belle Meade Tower

Belle Meade Tower stands at 105 Leake Avenue in one of Nashville’s most prestigious addresses. This 10-story high-rise sits just off Harding Pike in the heart of Belle Meade, steps from Belle Meade Plantation and Winery and the entrance to Percy Warner Park. The 37205 zip code is one of the most sought-after in all of Middle Tennessee, and this building has been a landmark within it since 1963.

The location puts you within a five-minute drive of virtually everything you need. Sperry’s, Roze Pony, and the Belle Meade shopping corridor along Harding Pike are practically next door. Green Hills Mall and the shops along Hillsboro Pike are less than ten minutes away. Downtown Nashville is about 15 minutes via Harding Pike or I-440, which connects to both I-40 and I-65 nearby.

What makes living here different from a typical Nashville condo is the sense of arrival. A doorman greets you seven days a week. Covered parking with assigned spaces means you never circle a garage. The building is surrounded by mature landscaping, and the pool area overlooks the rolling hills toward Warner Park. It feels more like a private club than a condo building.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Percy and Edwin Warner Parks offer over 3,100 acres of trails, running paths, and nature areas within minutes. Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Art Museum is a short drive away. Parmer Park, directly adjacent to the Belle Meade Plantation, is an easy walk from the building.

The Condos

Belle Meade Tower was built in 1963 and contains 63 condominium units across 10 floors. The all-brick construction gives the building a timeless, substantial feel that has aged well over six decades. Units on the recent closed record range from one-bedroom layouts of 890 square feet to a three-bedroom residence exceeding 2,500 square feet, and some units have been combined over the years to create larger floor plans with unique layouts.

Interior features commonly include original parquet flooring (many beautifully restored), high ceilings, and generous room dimensions that reflect the era’s approach to residential design. Many units feature enclosed sunrooms or Florida rooms that flood the space with natural light. End units and higher floors offer views of the surrounding tree canopy and the hills of Warner Park in the distance.

Renovation levels vary significantly from unit to unit. Some condos retain their classic mid-century character with original details, while others have undergone complete transformations with designer kitchens featuring marble countertops, custom cabinetry, walk-in showers, and modern laundry closets. This range means buyers can find anything from a turnkey renovation to a project with strong upside potential, and this period’s record proved it: the building’s two one-bedroom sales closed $75,000 apart.

One important note for pet owners: Belle Meade Tower does not allow pets. This is a building rule that applies to all residents; confirm the current policy with the association’s management company during due diligence.

Building Amenities and HOA

Belle Meade Tower offers a level of service and amenities you typically only find in downtown Nashville high-rises, but with a residential neighborhood setting. The building’s hallmark amenity is its doorman, available seven days a week. This is not just a security feature; the doorman accepts packages, greets guests, and adds a level of personal service that most Nashville condos simply do not provide.

The outdoor swimming pool is set in a landscaped courtyard with views toward the hills of Warner Park. It is available exclusively to residents and their guests. A library with a kitchen on the main level serves as a common gathering space. Two guest suites are available for residents to reserve when hosting visitors, eliminating the need for nearby hotel bookings.

Every unit comes with at least one assigned covered parking space in the building’s attached garage. Storage lockers on the first floor provide additional space beyond what your unit offers. The building features fire sprinklers, fire alarms, smoke detectors, and key fob access throughout.

HOA fees on closed records ran from $700 per month for one-bedroom units to $2,013 per month for the largest residences, covering electricity, cable TV, water, exterior maintenance, grounds, and trash on most records, with pool and club upkeep, pest control, and internet appearing on several. These fees are higher than a typical Nashville condo, but when you factor in what you would otherwise pay separately for utilities, the effective cost is significantly lower than the headline number suggests. Confirm current dues and coverage for any specific unit with the association’s management company during due diligence.
