Belmont Homes for Rent

Belmont, a neighborhood in Southeast Roanoke, has a rich history and a mix of 19th-century architecture, including American Foursquare, Victorian, and bungalow homes. Despite facing challenges such as poverty and vacant properties, the area is undergoing revitalization with city investments aimed at new housing, home rehabilitation, and infrastructure improvements. Belmont Park offers updated amenities like tennis courts, a baseball diamond, and a playground, while the nearby Belmont Branch Library hosts various community events. The Roanoke River Greenway provides a scenic 14-mile trail for pedestrians and cyclists, featuring murals by local artists. The Presbyterian Community Center, serving the area since the 1960s, is expanding with a new building to enhance its community programs. Community High School, a private institution with an A rating, is less than a mile away, offering a high-quality education option. Dining options in Belmont are limited, with Emilio’s Famous Pizza & Subs and several fast-food chains, but downtown Roanoke, just to the west, offers a variety of local restaurants and boutiques. The neighborhood is accessible via Interstate 581 and Campbell Avenue, with bus services connecting residents to downtown. Despite some noise from nearby rail traffic, Belmont's proximity to the Roanoke Riverfront and downtown makes it a convenient location for those seeking a semi-walkable community with ongoing improvements.
