How is Belmont for outdoor activities?
Random thought, Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Moved here from Tampa about 9 years ago. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Still getting used to community vibe but It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I love the pace of life here. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value cultural scene, you'll love it. The outdoor recreation is genuinely pretty good and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (Highland) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Austin, be prepared for the culture shock. food scene is completely different here. And Chain restaurants dominate.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I've lived in Highland for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The nightlife scene is solid
The downsides:
- Dating scene is rough
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for couples. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've been living here for 4 years and I'd say I love the pace of life here. The public transit is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..
