About Belmont
Center
Belmont Center, located between Cambridge and Waltham, is a walkable and commuter-friendly Belmont neighborhood with a compact village center and a classic New England streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Leonard Street and Concord Avenue crossroads, where independent cafés, bakeries, bookstores, and small boutiques line the sidewalks. Community pillars include the historic Belmont Town Hall, the Beech Street Center, and the Belmont Gallery of Art. Early-20th-century Colonials and Victorians sit on leafy blocks that slope toward the commuter rail. Pocket greens and playing fields break up the residential grid. Sidewalk life stays active around the station and the central square.
