Belmont Heights sits just inland and uphill from Belmont Shore, and it is where a lot of buyers find the character they are looking for at a bit more value. Think tree-lined streets, Craftsman and Spanish homes, and easy access to the beach and to the shops and restaurants of Retro Row on Fourth Street.
Belmont Heights blends historic architecture with a walkable, community feel. You are minutes from the beach and from Belmont Shore's Second Street, but the streets are quieter and the homes carry more vintage character. Retro Row on Fourth Street gives the neighborhood its own dining and shopping identity.
What do homes cost in Belmont Heights?

Its coastal-adjacent location, historic character, and steady demand support long-term value. The duplexes and small multifamily also make it a strong area for house hackers. As always, the specific property and its numbers decide any given deal.
Older homes mean older systems, so inspections matter. Parking varies. And historic districts can carry guidelines that affect renovations, which we help you understand before you buy.
