City - Belmont

Sitting just eight miles west of Downtown Boston, Belmont has earned its local nickname — "the Town of Homes" — through decades of well-kept residential streets and a close-knit atmosphere that larger cities rarely replicate. Incorporated in 1859 from portions of Watertown, Waltham, and Arlington, this compact Middlesex County town covers just five square miles yet packs in a surprisingly layered sense of place. Its position on Cambridge's western border puts Harvard Square within easy reach, and the broader Greater Boston employment and academic corridors are genuinely convenient for daily commuters.

Belmont's housing stock reflects its deep-rooted residential character. Historic single-family homes anchor neighborhoods like the Pleasant Street Historic District, while apartment communities range from converted multi-family buildings with classic New England architecture to updated rental options suited for a range of lifestyles.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
