Belmont Overview
The apartments in Belmont are some of the best in the Bay Area as they are affordable and yet still offer residents easy access to all the amenities Belmont and the greater San Francisco area has to offer. Living here, you get to enjoy gorgeous public lands to your southwest, San Francisco Bay to your northeast, and a great many urban amenities at Belmont’s heart.
Why live in Belmont, CA?
Apartments in Belmont are truly unique in that they benefit from being part of the city’s massive smoking ordinance. In 2009, the city attracted national attention for passing what was then the first-of-its-kind smoking ban. That ban, that remains in effect today, prohibits smoking in all multi-story apartments, condominiums, and businesses. So if clean air and a city that cares about public health are important lifestyle facets to you, then Belmont is a great place to live. As in addition to this ordinance, the city has an incredible array of parks and community spaces -- furthering proving its big focus on health and lifestyle.
