I live and belton, I love living here because it’s a very nice area, with a beautiful lake and eye catching landscape. There is amazing restaurants all over town. The down town area is beautiful architecture and has a museum as well as lots of cute shops and boutiques. There’s a wide variety of places to live. Anyone can find a house within their price range. belton has a wonderful school district with amazing athletic programs and extracurricular activities. This community is so much fun and energetic. There is tons of churches to choose from and always activities going on. There’s an H-E-B and Walmart right next to each other which makes grocery shopping easy. The Friday night football games are enjoyed by everyone one of my favorite parts of Belton is the Chisholm Trail Park. There is pickle ball, sand volleyball, gaga ball basketball and it play ground so there is fun for the whole family. The people in this community are so pure and a joy to live around.
I moved to belton about three years ago and in just three years I have come to love this city and community! Everyone is helpful and caring, and it’s overall just a great place to live.
We’ve lived in Belton for about a year. It is a rapidly growing area of a larger metro area: Temple, Harker Heights, Killeen. Belton itself is mainly schools and residential; most shopping, etc., is done in the other towns. The traffic is just terrible all around us and increasingly worse in Belton. This is primarily a military community (Belton borders Ft. Hood) with many retired military folks as well. The noise from Ft. Hood is indescribable. They do a lot of training with helicopters, tanks, explosives... That noise along with the quarries and massive numbers of trains makes for quite a lot of noise pollution. Also, take a look at the crime rate. There is a lot of gang activity, drugs, and an unbelievable amount of property crime in the area. Everything is crowded on the weekends and getting worse with each passing day. Restaurants, shopping, culture are lacking. And there are venomous snakes and scorpions. I wish I knew all this before we moved here. I miss Dallas.
