Urban residential streets in Belmont Central
Once home to a singular saloon around 1835, Belmont Central has much of its history rooted in business, and the population grew exponentially in the 1900s as manufacturing warehouses and factories were built in the area. “Belmont Central is in the top 5 percent of American neighborhoods when it comes to walkability,” says local managing broker Maggie A. Mathews with Realty of Chicago, who has over 20 years of experience in the industry. "It tends to be quieter than the rest of the city and provides access to Brickyard and lots of grocery stores,” Mathews says. Belmont Central is now a densely packed residential northwest community for those seeking quieter streets just 12 miles from downtown Chicago.
