Belmont

Perched on the Catawba River’s gentle curve, Belmont marries its rich textile‐mill past with fresh, forward‑thinking energy. By day, artisans and entrepreneurs populate the riverside shops and galleries lining Main Street, where repurposed brick buildings speak to the town’s storied history. When the sun dips low, paddlers drift along the water’s edge while neighbors gather at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden for moonlit strolls amid sculpted blooms. Families are drawn here by the award‑winning schools and the spirited youth sports scene, while retirees savor quiet benches overlooking treelined trails. Annual events—from the Carolina Mill Tour to outdoor film nights at the park—spark friendly camaraderie without ever feeling staged. With a real estate palette spanning cozy craftsman cottages in the historic district to sleek new townhomes steps from breweries and cafés, Belmont offers a unique lifestyle canvas. It’s the perfect stage for buyers seeking character, creativity, and all the perks of Charlotte just minutes away.
