Suburban living near major Massachusetts cities
In the northwest section of Belmont, Belmont Hill offers its residents a regal, suburban atmosphere on the outer fringes of both Cambridge and Boston. With both cities nearby, the neighborhood laced with mature deciduous trees is mostly residential and lined with classic Colonial homes. “I’ve lived here for 20 years and I love the privacy,” says Lynn MacDonald, a premier agent with Coldwell Banker Realty. “There are highly-educated people around here, like doctors to lawyers with advanced degrees. It's a wonderful place to live. I love it." Harvard is located less than half an hour to the southeast, so accessibility is a prime feature of life in the area. "Belmont Hill is kind of like its own private, quiet, exclusive area,” says Peter Bouchie, an agent with Coldwell Banker Realty. “There's super easy access to major highways and it’s more private and exclusive compared to the commercial side of town. It's like a little oasis in Belmont.”

Many million-dollar homes
Some of the largest homes and lots in the Belmont area are located in the Belmont Hill neighborhood, with many classic styles from the first half of the 20th century lining its streets. Pricing mostly ranges between just over $1 million to just over $2 million, though some properties have listed for well over the $3 million mark. “There’s a lot of classic houses built in the early 1900s,” Bouchie says. “People have done a beautiful job of keeping that old-school feel and updating the interiors and exteriors as well.” Most have Colonial styling, though ranch homes from the 1950s and Tudor architecture can also be found here.
Spacious brick homes are located throughout Belmont Hill.

Multiple parks and recreational areas
Much of the southern and western regions of Belmont Hill are made up of green space, be it for general recreation, observing nature or hitting the links. In the northwestern corner, Belmont Country Club has been in operation for more than a century and offers an 18-hole course, club amenities and event bookings. Visitors to the Mass Audubon Habitat Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary, near the center of Belmont Hill, can go bird watching, hiking or walking, or even attend its classes and programs. “The recreation is a big draw,” Bouchie says. “People walk at Lone Tree Hill and there’s a garden where people can plant in plots.” Also nearby sits Beaver Brook Reservation, which encompasses more than 50 acres of open space, several ponds and a waterfall, and portions of the Western Greenway trail dip into Belmont Hill as well.
The Beaver Brook Playground and Spraydeck is a haven for the young ones in Belmont.

An eclectic mix of shops and restaurants
The Belmont Hill area has close proximity to Belmont’s town center. “Our downtown center has become very vibrant,” MacDonald says. “We have several restaurants that are wonderful, like il Casale and a few pizza places. There’s nice dress shops, a bookstore, a toy store, a wonderful ice cream shop and a wine store. It's very nice and homey, and some people can walk there – it’s just five minutes from Belmont Hill." From il Casale’s Italian fare to Gregory’s House of Pizza, and from Patou Thai to Rancatore’s Ice Cream & Yogurt, those looking for a bite to eat or a sweet treat can find a number of options in the town center that abuts Belmont Hill. Leonard Street, where all three establishments are located, serves as the main thoroughfare of the area.

A longstanding hospital in the south
Located near Lone Tree Hill and making up a large portion of Belmont Hill’s southern area, McLean Hospital was founded more than 200 years ago and is affiliated with both Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital. “McLean Hospital is such a big part of Belmont,” Bouchie says. “It’s almost two-thirds of the town. There’s easy access since it’s 13 minutes from Back Bay, borders Cambridge just outside Boston and it’s located perfectly to be accessible anywhere in the region.” Just east, on Claflin Street, the Belmont Farmers Market operates on a seasonal basis.
McLean Hospital is a psychiatric Hospital in Belmont.
Generous lots around the Belmont Hill neighborhood are a significant draw for homebuyers.

Easy accessibility to Route 2
Access to Route 2, which makes up the northeastern-facing line of Belmont Hill, couldn’t be much easier. Spanning the entirety of northern Massachusetts, the road runs from the New York state line to Boston and access interchanges are just beyond both northern corners of the neighborhood. Cambridge is just under half an hour away and Boston is at most a 45-minute drive, and Route 2 serves as the main connection between each city and Belmont Hill. “The big draw is the close proximity to Cambridge and Boston,” MacDonald says. “It’s close to Routes 2 and 95, bus lines run to Cambridge and there’s a train to Boston in Belmont Center.”
For easy access to Boston Belmont Commuter Rail in Belmont Hill is available for commuters.
