Welcome to

Belmont

A Fine Place to Live

Belmont has a peaceful, residential feel while still being extremely central and convenient. Much of the city is built into the hills, giving many homes beautiful views of the Bay, surrounding canyons, and Peninsula. The winding streets, mature trees, and natural setting make it feel quieter and more private than some of the neighboring communities.

The schools are a major attraction for families, and Belmont has a strong community where people tend to know their neighbors and stay involved. There are plenty of youth sports, camps, and activities, along with wonderful parks and playgrounds. Twin Pines Park is a community favorite, and Waterdog Lake offers miles of trails for hiking, biking, running, and simply getting outdoors.

Belmont’s downtown is smaller than those of San Carlos or San Mateo, but there are still good local restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday conveniences. You’re also only minutes from the restaurants and shopping in both neighboring cities.

With access to Highway 101, Interstate 280, and its own Caltrain station, Belmont is an excellent central location for commuting throughout the Peninsula. San Francisco International Airport is also nearby. Belmont is ideal for someone who wants great schools, a strong community, beautiful surroundings, and a quieter neighborhood feel without giving up convenience.
