Buying in Belmont?
I need more space for my growing family, and realizing it might just be time to buy because rent keeps increasing.
I don't want to leave the city. I saw some houses for sale in Belmont, and they look nice. Spacious and definitely larger than any apartment I've ever grown up in.
I liked walking to Arthur Ave and seems like there are small parks. Saw some moms with kids, and overall seems like a good vibe. But not sure how the walk to the train would be? It's 20 minutes east of the closest train which is the D stop at 182-183 Sts. Would it be safe for a woman coming back home around midnight? Are there good running routes or run clubs in the area? Or any health clubs?
I was just wondering for those that know, how Belmont fairs compared to Washington Heights or East Harlem which are neighborhoods I've lived in before.
