Belmar Homes for Rent

Belmar, a neighborhood in southwest Amarillo, developed between the 1960s and 1970s, is known for its larger lot sizes and quiet streets. The area features ranch-style homes and some Cape Cod designs, with most homes ranging from 1,800 to 2,220 square feet. The neighborhood is part of the Amarillo Independent School District (AISD), which is highly rated and includes Belmar Elementary School, Crockett Middle School, and Amarillo High School. Belmar School Park, adjacent to the elementary school, offers a paved walking trail, playground, and sports courts, making it a popular spot for community recreation. The neighborhood is about 6 miles southwest of downtown Amarillo and is conveniently located near Interstate 40, providing easy access to the city and the Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport, 14 miles away. Shopping and dining options are plentiful within 2 miles, including the Westgate Mall, United Supermarkets, and local favorites like Girasol Café and Bakery and Belmar Bakery. The area is safer than the national average, with a low crime risk. While Amarillo is known for its windy conditions and occasional severe weather, Belmar itself does not have an increased flood risk. The community is active, with a private Facebook page for neighborhood watch and local events, and Gainsborough Drive becomes a festive Candy Cane Lane during the holiday season.
