Three Reasons to Move to Belmont Now

The Bay Area has dozens of communities vying for the attention of renters who are new to the region. That’s why we’re focusing this blog on Belmont, a spot well-worth the consideration of those looking for a place to make a new start. Cal Bay Property Management’s Scott Safadi offers these three great reasons to move to Belmont in 2019:

Smoke-Free Paradise

Belmont is the place to be if you hate the smell of cigarette or vape smoke. The city made history in 2006 when they banned all smoking both in public and in private. The gold standard for healthy communities, Belmont is now the model city which many others are judged against. Of course, this smoke-free paradise could present a problem if you enjoy your cigs, but take it as a sign that it’s time to quit for good!

The Schools are Second to None

If you’ve got kids, you’ll appreciate your options for schools in Belmont. Both public and private offerings are among the best in the state. It’s no surprise that many Belmont students go on to prestigious colleges and universities. The relative safety of the community is an added bonus!

Location, Location, Location

Halfway between San Jose and San Francisco, Belmont is ideally situated. With an easy commute in either direction, it’s no surprise that Belmont has become something of a bedroom community for both cities. Make no mistake, though, Belmont has a lot going for it besides its proximity to other cities. With the ocean just 20 short minutes from Belmont, there’s a ton of natural beauty and fun in the sun to be had.
