Belmont Heights - 4 Reasons to have it on your list


We haven't written about Belmont Heights in quite some time. For those who are still discovering this great city, Belmont Heights is a quiet beach area located just northwest of Belmont Shore and Naples and East of Downtown Long Beach.



What makes Belmont Heights special?

While I don't have enough room right here to really point out why Belmont Heights is so different and unique from the other neighborhoods here in Long Beach, I thought I would provide some highlights:
  1. You get a YARD! - Most beach areas are characterized as homes being crammed against each other so close that you can hand your nieghbor shampoo when they run out in the shower. In Belmont Heights you get some wonderful lot sizes that can be over 6,000 sq ft and if you look hard enough you will even find some over 8,000 sq ft. That means you get some front yard and some back yard space as well.


  2. Home Styles - Much of Belmont Heights was developed from 1918 to 1923. During this era of home development many different styles of architecture were built. You will find craftsman homes, spanish style, traditional homes, english tudor, mediterranean and probably some more. Varied style among the tree lined streets really bring it to life and allow you to fall in love with the home that is right for you.


  3. Historic Section - If truly want to embrace history, then you will grab a home in the historic section of Belmont Heights. In this small neighborhood you will find that the city upholds a standard to preserve the "look and feel" of the homes. The result has been some wonderful homes that are gleaming and nearly 100 years old.


  4. Condos Still an Option - Many of the areas closest to the beach have expensive condos. Here you can still find condos for the first time buyer (and the luxury buyer too) so it's nice to have some options. Long Beach Condos here typically have balconies to enjoy the great weather.

So these are just a few reasons why you might want to put Belmont Heights on your list if you are starting to consider Long Beach real estate as an option. Just driving around is fun as you will notice some nice wide streets and some tall palm trees.
