Like most larger cities, Charlotte is surrounded by numerous small towns. In recent years, the small "mill town" of Belmont has for some, become one of Charlotte's best kept secrets. Located just across the Catawba River in Gaston County to the west of Charlotte, Belmont offers the unique combination of a quaint, picturesque town with convenient access to the entire Charlotte metro area. In fact, from the two Belmont exits on Interstate 85, uptown Charlotte is typically 15-25 minutes away depending upon the time of day.

Belmont residents have a lot to be proud of. For starters, the vibrant downtown district is truly unique to the entire region. The small shops and restaurants, including the famous General Store, offers patrons a good variety to choose from. And in the heart of downtown, beautiful Stowe Park is the site for movies, concerts and festivals throughout the year.

Located away from downtown, two of Belmont's better-known assets are nationally-recognized. The 450-acre Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is truly a world-class facility, with year-round attractions for visitors. And just north of downtown, Belmont Abbey College dates back to 1876 and is listed on the National Register of Historic places.

"Belmont" however, is more than a town. For local residents it's a geographic area that extends from the NC/SC border on the south end, all the way to the north side of Interstate 85. To the east, it is bordered by the Catawba River /Lake Wylie and Mount Holly, and to the west, Gastonia and the small town of Cramerton. Within this area lies a wide variety of housing options for residents. From quiet neighborhoods with tree-lined streets and affordably-priced homes, to historic homes and estates, to new suburban-style neighborhoods, to majestic homes in the waterfront communities of Lake Wylie, Belmont truly offers something for everyone.
