Located in Ashburn, Virginia, Belmont features clusters of gated residential streets, weaving through country club greens. “It’s a well-established neighborhood and a great place to raise kids,” says Realtor Glenn Stakem with Keller Williams. Just south of State Route 7 and the Maryland border, Belmont has a suburban feel without sacrificing accessibility to Arlington and Washington, D.C., just about 30 miles away. Nearly 10,000 people live in Belmont, and a large percentage of the population commutes into Washington, Tysons or McLean for work.
Many homes in the gated parts of Belmont wind through an 18 hole golf course.

Condo communities and country club colonials
Belmont’s housing market includes condos, townhouses and single-family homes. Properties off the Belmont Country Club golf course comprise a gated community within walking distance of the tennis courts, pools and clubhouse. A condo complex, known as the Ridges, sits right outside the gated area. On the southwest portion of town, buyers will find a more densely packed cluster of housing, which makes up the Belmont Greene neighborhood. The median price falls at about $780,000, which is almost double the national figure, and residents must pay HOA fees. “Part of your neighborhood dues not only cover a social membership, but also basic cable and internet through Comcast,” Stakem says. Common architectural styles include Colonial Revivals and new traditional properties, some of which occupy over half an acre.
