Belmont bridges classic homes with an array of amenities

When you live in Belmont, a round of disc golf at Max E. Roper Park, a plate of wings and plenty of TVs at Spikes Beach Bar & Grille, and a workout at Belmont Recreation Center are all available within about a 5-minute drive. This northwest Lincoln neighborhood is filled with well-established and neatly organized homes that provide residents with convenience in multiple aspects of their lives, thanks to the green spaces, restaurants, grocery stores, highway and bus stops nearby. Still, the houses here remain relatively affordable.

Houses offer both space and connectivity

The lion’s share of homes in Belmont were built between 1950 and 1980. Options include a cohesive mix of bungalows and ranch-style houses. Sidewalks connect neighbors to each other, while well-maintained lawns provide residents with a bit of cushion. “There’s a lot of big back yards,” says local Realtor Lea Ann Stephenson, who’s with Home Real Estate and has about 10 years of industry experience. “The distance to your neighbors might be a little bit more than some of the other spots in Lincoln.”

The lots in Belmont often span from one-tenth to one-fifth of an acre. The neighborhood’s single-family homes average about 1,300 square feet and sell for prices from the mid $100,000s to the lower $400,000s. Belmont also has a smattering of townhouses built since 2005, which range from the upper $100,000s to the mid $200,000s. The neighborhood’s median sale price of roughly $240,000 is less than the median of about $300,000 seen across Lincoln. About half of Belmont’s residents are renters.

Close-by public schools offer after-school activities

The top-rated Lincoln Public Schools system serves Belmont. “Lincoln Public Schools are well-regarded and have been around for generations,” says Matt Kirkland, who’s the owner of The Matt Kirkland Group and Giving Realty, and has 20 years of real estate experience. “Parents are proud of the public schools, and many parents are alumni, so there’s a strong loyalty factor here.” Some residents are within walking distance of Belmont Elementary School and Goodrich Middle School, and both offer after-school programming. You and your family can also explore other schools in the district by applying for magnet programs or open enrollment. Area private options include the top-rated Parkview Christian School, which offers preschool through 12th grade and features student-teacher ratios of 13-to-1.

Area parks offer over 100 yards of space for outdoor fun

The neighborhood’s sidewalks link people to features like the namesake Belmont Park, a 14-acre spot featuring a playground and a multipurpose athletic field. The park also has a public pool with a slide, which you can access from late May through early August. Both Belmont Recreation Center and Belmont Community Center neighbor the park. The recreation center offers fitness equipment and an indoor track, while the community center hosts a variety of youth activities, including a summer program for children aged 3 to 13.

The 33-acre Mark E. Roper Park - East is also close by, and its 18-hole disc golf is one of its signature features. “The disc golf course here is one of the most popular attractions in this park,” says Jamie Granquist, who is an office specialist with Lincoln Parks and Recreation. “It’s designed as a linear course, which means fewer holes share the same basket. That makes the game faster and more enjoyable.” Mark E. Roper - East also has a dog park and offers trail access. The space extends 62 more acres into Mark E. Roper - West, across Interstate 180, which includes another disc golf course and the Roper Park Trail. “Families really enjoy this trail,” Granquist says. “It’s used every day. The only time I don’t see bikers is if it’s raining or snowing.”

Belmont balances residential seclusion with access to businesses

The Belmont Shopping Center fills a southern slice of this neighborhood and features businesses like Mulberry BBQ, where you can pig out on brisket and ribs. Diners can also head a few minutes east for a meal at Spikes Beach Bar & Grille, which offers typical sports bar fare with a fair share of screens for sports, but also has 12 sand volleyball courts and four indoor courts. The courts host a wide variety of leagues, including men’s, women’s and co-ed teams. Shoppers in Belmont are within 3 miles of a Super Saver, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Hy-Vee, Home Depot and Menard’s.
