An affluent suburb of Boston full of beautiful, fairytale-like homes and is also considered as one of the best places to live in Massachusetts.
An exclusive, upscale residential suburb in the heart of the Greater Boston Metropolitan Area with several impressive multi-million-dollar estates
Nestled in the heart of the Greater Boston Metropolitan Area, Belmont is a sleepy, affluent bedroom community full of beautiful, fairytale-like homes. A picturesque, charming town, Belmont real estate can quickly reach the $4-7 million price range, particularly in the more upscale parts of the area like Belmont Hill and along Sumner Road.
Since the 1900s, Belmont has attracted scientists, educators, artists, physicians, and other professionals who commute to Cambridge and Boston. Dubbed the "town of homes," Belmont is a primarily residential town. It also houses some of the region's economic centers, a few town centers, and several verdant green spaces.
A school-oriented town with a distinctive residential and family-friendly vibe, Belmont is attractive to families. Hailed as one of the best places to raise a family, it also appeals to young professionals who commute to neighboring Boston or Cambridge. As well, the town is one of Massachusetts’ top-rated suburbs.
There isn't much nightlife, but that's fine with most residents who enjoy Belmont's quiet way of life. Since it’s a luxurious area, the price of living is high. However, it's worth it for the excellent quality of life and friendly, involved community.
Il Casale is a cozy, romantic dinner spot in the heart of downtown Belmont. Housed in a converted firehouse, this upscale Italian restaurant is known for its traditional dishes and rustic, fun environment complete with the original fire pole still intact.
Grab something sweet from acclaimed Sofra Bakery, renowned for their Middle Eastern treats and quick bites.
Cushing Square is a vital, urban neighborhood with tons of restaurants and shops. Here, you’ll find two Belmont staples: Oven Bird and The Spirited Gourmet.
Oven Bird is a classic lunch spot with a sunny interior and a glass case full of decadent baked goods. With over 35 years of catering experience, Oven Bird is the perfect place to order for all occasions, whether for corporate or special events.
As their name suggests, The Spirited Gourmet is a gourmet food shop with a wide and varied selection of artisan cheeses, wine, beer, pasta, sauces, and more.
Jayne's Flower Shop on Trapelo Road is an independently-owned flower shop providing custom-tailored floral designs throughout the Greater Boston Metropolitan Area for more than three decades.

Payson Park is a gorgeous, sprawling park with plenty of open space and a large playground. However, the park is best-known for the Payson Park Music Festival.
Every summer, Belmont residents and the surrounding communities are treated to a spectacular line-up of free concerts from local bands and musicians from every genre. They also offer a series of weekly "kiddie concerts" specifically geared toward children!
In the fall, take the whole family to the annual Cushing Square Fall Festival. Enjoy carnival rides, live music, entertainment, games, a beer garden, food, and more!
The Beaver Brook Reservation spreads across nearly 60 acres of open fields and woodlands. Historic buildings share the space with several ponds and a waterfall in the park’s north section.
