The Belmont neighborhood encompasses part of the campus of the University of Dayton, and many of the university students live in houses and apartments in this area. Residents take County Road 48 to travel from Belmont to downtown Dayton, just a few miles northwest of Belmont.

Businesses line Watervliet Avenue, one of the neighborhood's main thoroughfares, as well as the streets between Watervliet Avenue and Wilmington Avenue. This gives residents easy access to a number of small grocery stores and neighborhood eateries. Residents hang out at Elsa's on the Border, a popular Mexican restaurant serving what's rumored to be the most popular margarita in Ohio.

I have lived in this area for most of my life. Unfortunately, over the last 10 years, I have noticed a steady decline in the quality of the neighborhood. There appears to be more poverty, more rental properties and fewer people taking care of their property. The suburbs appear to be more affluent and have higher property values.
