A family-friendly suburb just north of Grand Rapids

Suburban Quiet Commuter River

Belmont is a quiet suburb that’s part of the Plainfield Charter Township situated along the Grand River. With an 11-mile commute into Grand Rapids, Belmont is popular with families looking for an affordable rental apartment of house that’s still close to the conveniences of the city. Belmont is largely residential, but there are a few local hotspots along River Drive. Community parks, golf courses, and large wooded areas give Belmont a more secluded, rural feel, but this is a suburban oasis through and through. Rockford sits just a few miles north of Belmont and provides a charming escape from the sprawl of the area.
