Belmont Charlottesville homes for sale, coming soon Belmont Charlottesville real estate, and luxury Belmont Lofts Charlottesville

The Belmont neighborhood of Charlottesville is one of two hip places to live in the city of Charlottesville (the Woolen Mills neighborhood being the 2nd).

Belmont is NOT known for its luxury homes. But for its older, shabby-chic homes.

Belmont is located southeast of the historic Downtown Mall neighborhood, divided by C&O’s railroad tracks and a bridge. The Belmont neighborhood of Charlottesville sits in its little world.

In the mid-nineties, it underwent beautification with the City adding newly paved crosswalks, landscape trees, and planters throughout the downtown.

Though still a bit of a slum, it got young people and some of the best local artists’ attention, and they began moving here in droves.

Here is an interesting new article:

The 50-by-120-foot lots of Belmont became a template for the rest of the city.

The Belmont neighborhood is full of up-and-coming musicians and artists and the nightlife is lively.

The world-famous Tom Tom Festival holds its annual Belmont Block party celebrating the community spirit with music, food, and amazing street art.

Belmont is home to four of the tastiest restaurants in Charlottesville: The Southern Crescent, Mas, Tavola, The Local, and Lampo.

Click here for an excellent article on Dining in Belmont by the Charlottesville Guide.

The circa 1915 Belmont Park offers 360-degree panoramic views of Charlottesville and the Blue Bridge Mountains.

Belmont has its own on-off ramp to I-64 onto Monticello Ave for an easy commute east and west.

12 years ago one could purchase a 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1940s home for $225,000. Today it’s almost double.

The Charlottesville Belmont real estate market is prime for investors since the majority of Belmont rents are more than enough to cover an investor’s loan.

But! Everyone knows this already…

But be more careful if you are using a hard money loan.

First-time homebuyers are still able to purchase most Belmont Charlottesville homes for sale using an FHA loan for 2025, the FHA floor was set at $524,225 for single-family home loans with 3.5% down. This minimum lending amount covers most U.S. counties. The FHA ceiling represents the maximum loan amount and is illustrated in the table below.

There are still numerous Charlottesville Belmont homes that will eventually come on the market and will need to be renovated but you NEED to be quick!!!!

So, Let’s flip Charlottesville Belmont real estate…

Optimized for keywords like Belmont Charlottesville property listings, new listings in Belmont Charlottesville, and Belmont Lofts Charlottesville, this article draws on my expertise and the latest data to help you find your dream home in Belmont.

The Allure of Belmont

Nestled just southeast of Charlottesville’s Historic Downtown Mall, the Belmont neighborhood Charlottesville homes offer a vibrant blend of historic charm, modern revitalization, and urban accessibility. Spanning approximately 0.5 square miles in the 22902 zip code, Belmont is home to about 4,520 residents and 2,590 jobs, making it a bustling yet close-knit community. As one of the best realtors for Belmont Charlottesville real estate, I’ve watched this neighborhood transform from a historically overlooked area into a culinary and cultural hotspot, attracting young professionals, families, and investors alike.

Belmont Charlottesville property listings include a diverse range of homes, from historic homes for sale in Belmont Charlottesville built in the 1920s to modern townhomes and condos like Belmont Lofts Charlottesville. With a median home price of $495,000 in September 2024, according to Movoto, Belmont is 1% more expensive than the national average but offers value in a competitive market where Albemarle County’s median reached $541,058 in Q1 2025 (Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS®). The neighborhood’s rolling topography affords stunning views of Carter Mountain and the Blue Ridge Mountains, enhancing the appeal of Charlottesville VA Belmont houses for sale.

Belmont’s revitalization, fueled by its proximity to downtown (0.75 miles) and landmarks like the Ix Art Park, has made new listings in Belmont Charlottesville highly sought-after. The neighborhood’s eclectic mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and multi-family units, combined with its walkability (Walk Score of 64), makes it ideal for those seeking a vibrant, community-driven lifestyle. As a 22-year realtor, I leverage the Charlottesville MLS and platforms like Belmont Charlottesville VA Zillow to connect clients with properties that match their needs, whether they’re after affordable homes in Belmont Charlottesville or luxury renovations.

A Historical Perspective on Belmont

As an amateur historian and one of the best realtors for Belmont Charlottesville homes, I find Belmont’s history deeply tied to Charlottesville’s evolution. Originally a farm estate owned by John M. Carr, nephew of Thomas Jefferson’s friend Dabney Carr, Belmont was established in the early 19th century. The iconic Belmont Mansion, built around 1820 in the Classic Revival style, remains a centerpiece, now converted into luxury apartments. By the late 1800s, Belmont transitioned from agricultural land to a residential neighborhood, with historic homes for sale in Belmont Charlottesville reflecting Federal, Victorian, and Craftsman styles.

The 20th century saw Belmont become a working-class enclave, with modest cottages and bungalows built for factory workers and railroad employees. The neighborhood’s proximity to the C&O Railroad and downtown made it a practical choice for residents. However, by the mid-20th century, Belmont was overlooked in favor of newer suburbs. The 2000s marked a turning point, with gentrification and investments like the Ix Art Park and Belmont Lofts Charlottesville sparking a renaissance. Today, Belmont Charlottesville real estate thrives, with new listings in Belmont Charlottesville reflecting both historic charm and modern updates.

The neighborhood’s zoning changes, effective in 2023, allow for up to three dwelling units per lot under the R-A designation, boosting investment potential. For example, a duplex was listed at 708 Belmont Ave. for $450,000 in 2024 attracted investors due to its rezoning potential for a triplex. This evolution underscores why Charlottesville Belmont real estate is a smart choice for buyers seeking growth and value.
