Bellemeade is a neighborhood with a strong sense of community. As far back as 1910, Bellemeade was known for its many
African-American residents who worked at the industries on the Jefferson Davis Highway and Commerce Road corridor.
Today, Bellemeade is a front-porch neighborhood with a wealth of early-twentieth century one and two story Cape-Cod-style houses.
Most was built in the 1940's after World War II to accommodate the soldiers coming home.
The Bellemeade community is committed to saving its structures with a character reminiscent of the early-twentieth century. In
addition, new construction is designed to complement the neighborhood's character.
