Belmont’s apartment options vary by block. A City Planning review places Fordham University to the north, East Tremont to the south, Bronx Park and the Bronx Zoo to the east, and Bathgate to the west. Its East Fordham Road study describes mainly two- and three-story row houses north of the avenue, between Bathgate and Crotona avenues. Along Arthur Avenue between East Fordham Road and East 187th Street, it documents multifamily walk-up buildings, many with ground-floor retail, as well as single-story retail buildings. These are descriptions of specific study areas from 2013, not a current inventory of every Belmont address.
When comparing a row house with a walk-up or a home above a shop, check the exact entrance, floor, stairs, and whether any elevator serves the unit. Ask whether laundry, a basement, or outdoor space is shared. For a building with ground-floor retail, ask how deliveries, garbage, and maintenance are handled, and whether the business shares any entrance or utility area. Review the lease for heat, hot water, appliances, and utility responsibilities. During a viewing, test windows and fixtures, check water pressure, and look at the common entry and hall for signs of moisture or unfinished work.
Arthur Avenue is the neighborhood’s principal commercial corridor. The city’s Business Improvement District directory lists the BID office at 2396 Arthur Avenue, and City Hall describes Belmont Plaza near Belmont Avenue, East 186th Street, and Crescent Avenue as a pedestrian seating area. Commercial activity and public seating are useful orientation points, but they do not describe noise levels or upkeep at a particular home. Visit the block at the times you expect to be there and confirm building rules with the owner or manager.
The Belmont Library and Enrico Fermi Cultural Center is at 610 East 186th Street. NYPL lists books, Wi-Fi, computers, classes, and programs. Use the library, plaza, and avenue as nearby landmarks; base the housing decision on the specific unit and written lease.
