Historic Character & Architecture

Belmont Heights is especially prized for its early 20th-century homes and well-preserved architecture—with two designated Historic Districts adding to its charm and value:

  • Belmont Heights Historic Landmark District
    Spanning from 4th to 7th Street, between Newport and Roswell Avenues, this district features original Craftsman, Spanish Revival, and Tudor-style homes full of period details and front-porch charm.

  • Eliot Lane Historic District
    A charming one-block enclave of 1920s bungalows, Eliot Lane offers a snapshot of vintage coastal living in a tightly knit setting.

Both districts help preserve the neighborhood’s architectural integrity—and may offer property tax benefits under the Mills Act, which rewards homeowners who maintain and restore historic properties.
