The word is out about south downtown neighborhood Belmont
Ask a local which Charlottesville neighborhood they feel is hot right now, and many will say Belmont. There’s a reason this south downtown locale is getting so much attention: historically overlooked, people are checking out Belmont now because it has a slight rough and tumble vibe that appeals to people who want a hand in shaping local identity. This isn’t really a place that’s fully formed like North Downtown, which is known for being more expensive – however, with word getting out, pricing appears to be increasing. “I sold a three-bedroom 1930s home in Belmont this June for $740,000 and you’re starting to see prices trend that direction,” says Monroe Allen, real estate associate with Sotheby’s international and Charlottesville native. Still, with eccentric destinations like Ix Art Park informing the neighborhood, Belmont appeals to those who want a bit of a hip lifestyle.
Tapas, tacos and Neopolitan pizza from Lampo
When it comes to finding a unique mix of entertainment, drinks, food and general lounging, residents head to Ix Art Park and Ix Business Park. The synergy between these two parks is palpable, with murals, plantings and colorful modernist seating fixtures connecting the two for a visceral creative experience. Some visitors can be seen imbibing at Three Notch’d Brewery, while others scope out the farmers market held in a central public square. The business park features a fun mish mash of retail, including a pet supply store, bicycle store and salon. Habitat for Humanity and Portico Church are tenants boosting the community feel. But the standout feature is food. Lampo, a celebrated pizza place, has a satellite location here and Brazos Tacos is a Texas-style taqueria with outdoor seating that’s popular. Things get cozy at J Bird Supply Coffee Roaster, a rustic cafe which is connected to Studio Ix, a coworking space. Eateries continue to dot Monticello Road, like Mas, which serves tapas. There’s also the original location of Lampo. “It’s incredible Neopolitan-style pizza,” says Danny Hugus, a Realtor with the Hogan Group. “They have authentic equipment from Italy that makes it taste that way.”
Lampo serves a famous neapolitan pizza in the heart of Belmont.
Residents young and old spend the nice days in Belmont at IX Art Park.

Minimal traditional homes and larger styles like Victorians
Belmont’s market opens with single-level minimal traditional homes built during the 2010s. Of course, the price tag and proximity to downtown is what’s appealing to homebuyers: these are in the $300,000 to $350,000 range and walking distance to the mall on Main Street. Bumping up into the $350,000 to $400,000 range, homebuyers can just as easily find multi-story homes. These may be more historic in nature, dating to the 1920s. Regional styles appear when jumping into the $750,000 to $900,000 range that Allen says is becoming more common in Belmont. For example, one might see a bungalow with stark white colonial stylings, or a three-bedroom Victorian on a wooded lot. Throughout the available styles and prices, quiet leafy yards are a common sight, giving Belmont a suburban angle despite its proximity to trendy urban amenities.
Belmont has a wide variety of homes and residents love how unique it is.
Historic homes are also located throughout Belmont but are higher in price.

Quarry Park connects to the Rivanna Trail
While the Ix Art Park may play a key part in Belmont’s social scene, it’s not a typical grassy space – but there are several parks in the neighborhood fitting that description. Spreading across 3 acres, Belmont Park has a basketball court, playground and large shade trees for those who want to just lounge. Rives Park is about just as big, and stands out for its views of Carter Mountain. At nearly 10 acres, Quarry Park is bigger than the previous two combined, and uses that space to include multiple baseball fields. The park uniquely intersects with both Moores Creek and the Rivanna Trail.
Quarry Park provides ample space for visitors to walk and explore.
Belmont Park provides open greenery spaces, a basketball court and playground to enjoy.

Families spend precious time together while enjoying time outside during Fridays after Five.
Music events like Porchello keep things lively
“Belmont can be a bit bohemian. They have a festival every spring called Porchella, where musicians play concerts on front porches,” says Lori Meistrell, associate broker with Nest Realty. Other nearby events include Fridays After 5, a concert series with food trucks held at the Ting Pavilion in the downtown mall.

Avon Street spans Belmont
One of the most prominent features of Belmont is that it’s defined by important thoroughfares. To the north, Water Street and Market Street provide access to the downtown mall. To the south is Interstate 64, an important commuter corridor. Finally, running along the west end is Avon Street – which offers sweeping views of Lampo and the Ting Pavilion while driving towards downtown.
