Off-campus housing near Belmont clusters in a handful of walkable neighborhoods just outside campus.
Belmont-Hillsboro is the closest, a historic residential area within walking or biking distance that includes landmarks like the Belmont Mansion, though its mix of restored homes also makes it one of the pricier options nearby.
12 South, just east of Belmont-Hillsboro, offers a similarly short bike commute with a livelier strip of restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques along 12th Avenue South.
Renters looking for more affordable options tend to look toward Wedgewood-Houston, about two miles from campus, which has grown into an arts-and-breweries district with some of the area's better value, or Edgehill, just north of Belmont, which mixes quiet residential streets with nearby nightlife.
Green Hills, Melrose, and Music Row are also common choices for renters willing to drive or bus 10 to 15 minutes rather than walk to campus, usually in exchange for lower rent or more apartment-style inventory than the house-heavy streets right around Belmont. Apartment List lets you compare off-campus listings near Belmont across these neighborhoods by price, distance, and amenities, so you can decide how much of a premium a shorter walk to campus is worth to you.
