Historic character and modern amenities shape life in Belmont

In Belmont, historic trappings meet modern style. The neighborhood is the southernmost part of Charlotte ’s Mill District, where 19th- and 20th-century textile mills have been transformed into an array of housing, restaurants and retail. With its proximity to some of the Queen City’s trendiest districts and many unique businesses of its own, Belmont offers a lifestyle that falls somewhere between urban and suburban. Residents enjoy its burgeoning dining scene, walkability and transit access, as well as its parks, gardens and greenway. A variety of public magnet programs and a neighborly atmosphere supported by seasonal events and an active community association add family-friendly appeal.

From early 1900s Craftsman bungalows to brand-new luxury townhouses

The housing stock in Belmont includes “historic homes, ranches, remodeled duplexes and a mix of apartments,” says Adam Sellars, the owner of Queen City Sellars Team at Keller Williams Realty Ballantyne Area. The oldest single-family homes are century-old Craftsman bungalows, though sharp transitional designs have emerged in recent years. These detached homes sit close together on small lots framed by sidewalks and short driveways. There are also modern townhouses and condos. “You can get the small-town family feel while also living in the city,” Sellars says.

How much detached homes, townhouses and condos cost in Belmont

With trendy Plaza Midwood to the east and Uptown to the west, the neighborhood’s median sale price is around $600,000s, significantly above Charlotte’s median. Home prices range widely from the mid-$300,000s to over $1 million. “A good portion of Belmont had been neglected for a while, so investors came in and snatched things up and built all these townhouses at a high price point,” says Bonnie Stroup, a Realtor with Dickens Mitchener Residential Real Estate. Townhouses start in the upper $500,000s and quickly rise to over $1 million. Condos don’t go on the market often. Only one 1,300-square-foot unit was sold in 2025 for around $430,000.

Walk, bus or take the light rail to Uptown

Walkability and public transit access are major draws for those who live in Belmont. “People who work Uptown love Belmont because they can walk to the office,” Stroup says. “You can also walk to the light rail stop and get all the way down to Pineville or up to University City if you need to.” Stations for the LYNX Blue Line and Gold Line trains are a few blocks from the neighborhood’s northern and southern ends. There are also a few CATS bus stops within the community. Commuters who need the highway have Interstate 277 and U.S. Route 74 close by.

Shop, dine and enjoy a night out close to home

Stroup characterizes Belmont as one of Charlotte’s hottest up-and-coming areas. “It’s come a long way in the last 15 years,” she says. “It’s smack dab between Uptown, Plaza Midwood, Villa Heights and NoDa ( North Charlotte), so it’s a fantastic location. It’s the perfect mix of residential, multi-family, commercial and retail.” Most residents are less than a 15-minute walk from some of the neighborhood’s best-known restaurants, including Ace No. 3, a build-your-own-burger joint. Across the street, Bloom & Bottle pairs drinks with floral arrangements, and Sweet Lew’s BBQ offers cornhole. There’s also Super Abari Game Bar and the Innovation Barn, a wholly sustainable, waste-free, indoor-outdoor hangout space.
