Belmont is close to downtown, multiple lakes and rural landscapes
Belmont delivers for homebuyers searching for a proximal location with accessible price points. “It’s one of the more affordable areas compared to others around Columbia,” says Julian Hays, real estate professional with Todd Realty Partners. “You’re still within city limits, so you’re close to downtown and the interstates, which is always an ideal situation for convenience.” Belmont is flanked by several lakes and rural landscapes, yet the neighborhood is very much suburban. This factor plays a key role in the area’s significant growth within the last few years. Rachel Shealy, a Realtor at 803 Realty, speculates that Columbia’s slower-paced lifestyle is also partially responsible for attracting many newcomers. “Maybe it’s also the property tax exemptions the state makes for veterans and the elderly," Shealey adds. "Or just because everyone is super friendly down here.” Belmont’s CAP Index Crime Score is relatively high when compared to the national average of 4. With a score of 8 out of 10, there are several programs that the Columbia Police Department has put into place. One of them includes Ceasefire Columbia, which aims to reduce gun violence and crime by providing valuable resources to repeat offenders.

The neighborhood is no exception to Columbia's recent growth
“There has been the occasional new build in that area, but it’s mostly filled with established ranch homes and bungalows ready to be renovated,” Hays says. Belmont’s established houses, mostly developed in the 1950s and ‘60s on lots below a quarter-acre, often sit in a thicket of trees, creating a sense of separation from neighbors. Prices for homes in this area are typically between $100,000 to $120,000, which is a bit lower when compared to more desirable and historic neighborhoods like Shandon. Affordability plays a key factor in the recent inventory boom in Belmont. “There was an explosion of new homes a few years back,” Shealey adds. “It was such an issue that the city placed a moratorium on building new homes, but that was recently lifted.”
Belmont offers homes ranging from apartments to larger ranches on a reasonable budget.

Close to Greenview and Meadowlake Parks
Residents can reach several city parks within a 2-mile drive. When school lets out for the summer, kids flock to the water park in Greenview, where they can dive into pools, go flying down winding tube slides or run around the splash pad. Year-round, both Greenview Park and Meadowlake Park are frequented by locals who gather to play a match on the tennis courts or go for a walk along trails and tracks. The city green spaces are also often used for recreational and youth league baseball and softball games. Carys Lakes, Burnside Lake and Spring Lake are just a few of the lakes residents can enjoy within a 10-mile radius. The Broad River is also a popular spot near the University of South Carolina for kayaking and floating on innertubes, as Riverfront Park North has multiple drop-off points.
Tennis is one of the popular activities at Greenview Park near Belmont.

Close to North Main Street restaurants and retail
Running errands can be easily handled by traveling to the Food Lion tucked away in the neighborhood’s southern end. There’s also a Dollar General and Family Dollar nearby. Family-owned Nothin’ But Wings is a local favorite for the food and the service, but the name is a bit deceiving. While the wings tossed in lemon pepper, metro mild or teriyaki sauce are the eatery’s bread and butter, the menu features other Southern comfort food like fried shrimp baskets, chicken livers and burgers. Much of the nearby retail and restaurants can be found along North Main Street. “That road and the businesses on it are going through a revitalization, mostly due to the new Peak Drift Brewery nearby,” Bunge says. The facility that used to house a manufacturing company spans nearly 65,000 square feet. A mile up North Main Street is another local favorite, Zesto. This old-school diner is known for chocolate-dipped ice cream and burgers. Locals can also sit down for a meal on the pet-friendly outdoor patio at Publico Kitchen and Tap. North Main Street is also home to a Piggly Wiggly, making it convenient to grab any last-minute groceries. About 5 miles away is Columbia Place Mall. The expansive shopping center includes several local and chain restaurants. In the mix of all the shopping is Spotlight Cinemas Capital 8, one of the area’s favorite places to catch a movie.

Getting in and around Belmont
Access to North Main Street makes it convenient to get to the BullStreet District, just 2.5 miles south of Belmont’s residential streets. “You might have to drive a little farther out,” Shealey adds. “Plus, there can be a lot of traffic on North Main Street or any major roadway because the infrastructure here can’t really support our growth right now.” Another highly trafficked interstate is US-277. For immediate medical needs, Richland Memorial Hospital is roughly 3 miles away. Columbia Metropolitan Airport is about 15 miles away.

Segra Park stadium and Soda City on Saturdays
At the center of all the action is the baseball stadium, Segra Park, home to the Columbia Fireflies. On the weekends, the stands flood with fans from across the city to catch a minor league game, followed by fireworks. “Soda City is another huge event here,” Shealey adds. “It’s every Saturday, and it’s super dog-friendly. They shut down Main Street and line it with local vendors.” According to Shealey, the University of South Carolina football games are a huge deal, and fans often fill the Williams-Brice Stadium, even though the stadium was built to hold over 50,000 people.
Segra Park near Belmont is home to the Columbia Fireflies of the Carolina League.
