About the neighborhood

Bellefonte offers a peaceful small-city atmosphere with roomy yards and mature trees. The neighborhood showcases mid-century charm through well-built houses dating from the late 1960s. Spacious single-detached homes predominate, many with three or more bedrooms and considerate lot sizes. Streets are quiet and parking is convenient for regular errands and visiting guests. A handful of restaurants provide nearby dining variety while grocery shopping is straightforward by vehicle. Residents value the relaxed pace, strong sense of place, and the abundance of established housing that supports comfortable everyday living. Convenient access to regional roads makes commuting and travel more efficient for residents.

Transportation

This part of the Huntington-Ashland metropolitan area is very car friendly. It is especially convenient to park.

A majority of the houses for sale in this part of the Huntington-Ashland metropolitan area are located in places that are also not very convenient for pedestrians since very few day-to-day errands can be run without the need to get in a car.
