| Commentary |
Approximately 25 minutes from Brisbane city along Old Cleveland Road, Belmont has more in common with its neighbour to the north, Gumdale than it does with Carindale to its west.
Like Gumdale, Belmont is an expansive suburb home to families wanting an acreage lifestyle, close to modern facilities.
The majority of housing in the area is built on 2.5-acre blocks with much of the remaining land earmarked for conservation. Belmont is a semi-green belt area limiting the number of bike and walkways in the huge parklands.
With no residential or commercial developments planned for the near future it is expected that Belmont will remain an acreage suburb for many years to come.
The spread out nature of the suburb means that local amenities are accessed primarily by car. Public transport in the area is difficult with no rail station and buses limited to the major arterial roads. However, more frequent bus services to and from the city are available at Carindale Shopping Centre. Belmont residents also have excellent access to the Gateway Motorway and subsequently the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.
Recreational facilities in the area include the Belmont and Cannon Hill Rifle Ranges. The neighbouring suburb of Chandler also services the area's swimming and cycling requirements with the Sleeman Sports Complex.
As well as being the closest source of major supermarkets and retailers, Carindale Shopping Centre also offers a cinema complex for residents looking for more modern entertainment.
Although there are no schools in Belmont, families are well catered for with both public and private, primary and secondary schools in neighbouring suburbs.
Belmont offers residents a lot of space with good access to the city and local amenities.
